Isaiah 8:23-9:3 1 Corinthians 10:13-17. Matthew 4:12-23

Joy and peace, justice and loving-kindness are the gifts of your loving heavenly Father to all who seek His will and do it in the strength and power of His love. He is love and power and glory in His whole creation – power to build all into His new creation which is His Kingdom of eternal life and light and love.

But there must be a turning from all that separates them through sin and self and the promotion of self-interest. Through My life and death and risen life the truly committed and faithful in My saving love are brought towards perfection and fulfilment in the Father’s will as they continue faithful, and sanctified in and through and the light and power of Our indwelling.

Each and every child of the loving heavenly Father born into to the world has a place in the Father’s heart and is called to enter His Kingdom and make the contribution assigned to him according to the Father’s will. But all are free to respond, to refuse, to tarry or embrace their glorious inheritance.
