Jeremiah 18:1-6. Matt. 13:47-53

The sons and daughters of their loving Heavenly Father are free to accept or to refuse the freedom and the challenges He offers them. The freedom is through obedience to His will and loving purpose; the challenges are His loving purpose for them. Through commitment and through returning to the way and centre, when there is sin and failure, progress is obtained, and gradual maturity.

The Father loves His children into fullness and perfection as they respond in love and trust and faithfulness. I am their redeemer and the means of their perfection, Our Holy Spirit is their light and guide, their power , their inspiration.

Let there be light and life and love in individual and community. Such is the Father's will and loving purpose for His most glorious world.
