Ezekiel
34:1-11 Matthew 20:1-16
The Father looks to those
whom He has called and appointed
to lead His sheep and lambs
to be faithful to their
calling and to exercise
compassion, care and commitment
in their life and work.
They are offered light and
leading in the power of
His love, wisdom and understanding
as they continue faithful
in the way. Where these
gifts are not sought or
are selfishly used by those
called to higher service
in the Father's world there
is confusion, perplexity
and suffering for the one
and many.
But I , the Father's Word
Incarnate and Incarnate
Love, am ceaselessly at
hand to retrieve the wanderers
and restore the fallen to
the way of light and life
and love. I am the Shepherd,
Redeemer, Friend, the Restorer
of lost hopes and the Means
of bringing the faithful
and the true of heart into
the fold where the loving
Father looks and waits for
them, to endow them with
the joy and glory of Presence
in the fulness of eternity.
