It is not the Father’s will that the children of His love should bring suffering on their brothers and their sisters and make them slaves to their own needs and selfish aspirations. The Son of Man, Son of the Lord of All, came to serve and to give His life as a ransom for many. So must all faithful to their Heavenly Father seek to serve according to His will and loving purpose.

And when the loving service brings pain and suffering let it be borne with patience and in commitment to Him who suffered, died and rose again that they and all faithful in the way might have life and have it in abundance. I, the Way, the Truth, the Life, bring all things to perfection and fulfilment in the grace and power of Our redeeming, sanctifying love. Identify in love and self-giving.
