Judges 2:11-19. Matthew 19:16-20

Failure to take the Father’s Word into heart and mind and seek His will and loving purpose brings moribund life and premature death to the soul: the Father’s Word is Life Eternal, given to the Father’s world that all may have abundant life in time and eternity. (John 10:10)

The Father’s gifts are without power unless offered to Him in faith and trust and self-giving, and all receiving them give themselves to glorify Him and to serve Him and their brothers and their sisters near and far . The Father’s Love constrains one and all and all together to give themselves to Love’s indwelling and the light and leading of Our Holy Spirit (2 Corinthians 5:14), for the Lord God ‘so loved the world that He gave His only Son that every one who believes in Him may have eternal life’. (John 3:16).

Follow in the steps of the Son of Man that the Father may be glorified in you, His beloved sons and daughters reached and served through your witness and example – I speak to one, I speak to every one in the Father’s world.
