Love's Offering

I AM your Lord, gracious and loving.  Rest in My Love, walk in My ways.  Each week is a week of progress, steady progress upward.  You may not see it, but I do.

  I judge not by outward appearances, I judge the heart, and I see in both your hearts one single desire, to do My Will.  The simplest offering by a child brought or done with the one desire to give you pleasure, or to show you love, is it not more loved by you than the offerings of those who love you not?

  So, though you may feel that your work has been spoiled and tarnished, I see it only as Love's offering.  Courage, My children.

  When climbing a steep hill, a man is often more conscious of the weakness of his stumbling feet than of the view, the grandeur, or even of his upward progress.

  Persevere, persevere.  Love and laugh.  Rejoice.
