Jesus said, "If a man serves Me He must follow Me. Wherever I am My servant will be there too. If anyone serves Me My Father will honour him"
John 12:27-28

As I am to the Father so are My faithful ones to Me. Love binds the faithfully committed in all things the Father wills and purposes. The devious will of man in service of the self and in commitment to those things which cause his soul's destruction has made it necessary for Love to suffer and to die for its redemption. And Love invites all faithful to itself to identify as opportunity is given.

I am continually with My Heavenly Father, rejoicing in the joy of His Eternal Love. And I am ceaselessly with the children of His love by virtue of My incarnate life and sacrificial death, enabling each faithfully committed to faith and love and joy towards the fulness of the father's Presence.

All who walk along this way with Me experience both the joy and pain of man's redemption as it is offered them. So will they be rewarded by the Father at the end of time.
