And the hand of the Lord was with him
Luke 1:57

The Father's loving hand is on each child of man from the beginning. As it was with John the Forerunner so it is for each and every one of the Father's beloved children. Each is incipient soul with potential character and destiny to be identified and realised. And the Father's loving hand is on each child of man from the beginning.

The destiny of John was to identify the Promised One, looked for down countless ages by those whom the Father had prepared to welcome and receive him, and to prepare the hearts and minds of those to whom the Promised One was born. Faithfully the faithful few received Him whom the Father sent who was none other than His Son, His Well-Beloved, and graciously Incarnate Love, the Father's Word Incarnate, came.

The Father's loving hand is on each child of man from the beginning. Each one may seek to be prepared for Love's Indwelling through humble seeking and response to Love's correction. Or he may refuse and so fail to identify, know, and fulfil the Father's will for him in time and through eternity. All who respond to the Father's love in trust and faithfulness are led, illumined, progressed, perfected and fulfilled through My Indwelling and the power of Our Holy Spirit.
