Isaiah
58:9-14 Luke 5:22-32
The Father’s word
was spoken before time was
and has been in and with
His beloved sons and daughters
from the beginning. But
it must be identified by
the mind, welcomed into
the heart and followed if
it is to fulfil the good
purpose of His perfect will
in the one and many.
All fail from time to time
and, through frailty, inertia,
or through wilfulness lose
their way. I am always near
at hand to guide their steps
and restore them in the
right way as they desire
and seek their restoration.
All who truly love deny
themselves for the object
of their loving. So all
who are in me and me in
them accept a discipline
of love that they may truly
follow in the footsteps
of the Son of Man.
