Isaiah 48:17-19. Matthew 11:16-19

The Father who creates the sons of men seeks to bring them to that fullness and perfection which He desires for them. And to this end he leads and guides them as they desire His will and loving purpose. As they respond in love and in self-giving they enter in The Kingdom of eternal life and light and joy which He prepared for them from the beginning. So do they reveal the Father's righteousness and reflect the radiance of His holiness.

There is a place and time for retrospection, regret and redirection of the heart and mind, and sometimes of the lifestyle too. But through My life and death and through My risen life the life and joy of the Father's Kingdom are available even in this mortal life.

Realise My Presence in your soul, beloved of the Father, and rejoice.
