Jeremiah
26:1-17. Matthew 14:13-21
So much the beloved sons
and daughters suffer is
brought upon by themselves
by their failure to seek
the Father's will and loving
purpose: many seek to flout
it even when they believe
they know it. And disaster
overtakes the lives of each
and all who do not follow
as We lead and guide.
It is not the Father's
will that His beloved sons
and daughters should suffer
or experience hunger or
deprivation of any kind.
Prodigally he has provided
for the needs and aspirations
of the one and many but
greed and selfishness can
spoil the gifts, and suffering
and deprivation are the
consequence.
But hope and new life rise
phoenix-like from the ashes
of despair when all is offered
to Our dynamic love. It
is the Father's loving purpose
to multiply all that is
offered to Him in love and
self-giving.
And I, the Bread of Life,
fill heart and mind committed
to our redeeming, sanctifying
love and strengthen, lead
and - with and through Our
Holy Spirit - bring to the
fulness of the Father in
the fulness of eternity
