"All the sheep of the forest are mine, so are the cattle upon a thousand hills."
Matthew 18:12-14

And when they stray or wilfully seek their own way I watch and suffer and wait for them to turn and seek My saving love. Each one is free to choose his path: yet freedom grows in choosing truth and love and righteousness. Contrariwise, all waywardness and wilful sin, persistently chosen and pursued diminishes the freedom of each one choosing. But ceaselessly We offer the liberation of Our saving, sanctifying love. And constantly innumerable souls extend the Father's Kingdom, and countless others perfect their following in faithfulness as more and more Our saving, sanctifying love becomes their progress and perfection.

The Father's will and loving purpose is that each and every one of His beloved children comes to the fullness of eternal life. And joy resounds throughout the whole creation and in the courts of Heaven and - most of all - within the centre of Our Being when even one beloved child turns from his sin and waywardness and seeks the power and joy of Our saving, sanctifying love.
