Amos 7:10-17. Matthew 9:1-8

The Father's word is spoken to him who seeks for truth in faith, humility and self-giving and - through him - to the one and many in the Father's world according to the Father's will and loving purpose. Sometimes that word brings warning and a call to a return to that covenant relationship which each child of man is offered and challenged to accept and live - in the grace and power of Our saving, sanctifying love.

And when that relationship is temporarily broken through sin, or weakened through failure to embrace the Father's will and loving purpose I am constantly at hand to give the Father's forgiveness and his blessing as return in the way is sought and found in penitence and faith and trust in the grace and power of Our indwelling.
