Isaiah
7:1-9. Matthew 11:20-24
Let all to whom the Father’s
word is spoken listen, take
heed and respond as they
are led and guided by Our
Holy Spirit. The Father
speaks to each and every
one of His beloved sons
and daughters; His message
is challenging but constructive
for the one and many, each
offered a particular contribution
to make according to ability
and circumstance and according
to the Father’s will
and loving purpose. Joy
it is for all responding
in faith and trust and absolute
self-giving in the grace
and power of Our love and
through the light and guiding
of Our Holy Spirit but grief
and failure for those who
turn aside from their high
calling or fall apart through
culpable inertia.
The Father’s love
is over all His world, offered
to one and all born into
it. From those to whom much
is given much is required:
wealth and privilege are
challenges to service to
the one and many in and
through the grace and power
of Love’s indwelling.
None may stand aside from
the challenge of the Most
High, father of all born
into His world who looks
with compassion on those
who deny or fail to respond
and He never ceases to love
them and call them to turn
and return to Him in and
through Our redeeming, sanctifying
love.
