Jesus said,
"When you have done all you have
been told, say, 'We are merely servants:
we have done no more than our duty'"
Luke
17:10
The good master provides for each
of the servants of his household,
overseeing their well-being and
planning for the life and work of
each within the context of the whole.
And each faithful servant offers
both his work and loyalty as his
due service.
The Father has stored up for His
beloved faithful servants such good
things as pass man's understanding.
But to inherit them His servants,
who are the children of His love,
must grow into that design and pattern
of His perfect love which He has
purposed for them. Each one has
his own place and pattern of fulfilment
to discover and to make his own:
as he discovers and fulfils the
Father's will and loving purpose
his life and work are correlated
with the whole through the power
of My Indwelling and light and guiding
of Our Holy Spirit. Even the faults
and failures sadnesses and setbacks,
are taken up, transformed, and woven
into the eternal pattern of salvation
as they are offered to Our saving
love.
And so the duty of each faithful
child of the loving Heavenly Father
is his challenge and his ultimate
fulfilment as it becomes his way
of life in the power of Our saving,
sanctifying love.
