Men and Women who desire to serve the World with Me...
Ye shall arrive at your own decisions regarding your priorities and purpose and purification.
There is a certain range of the freedom of choice which all mortals may exercise.
The forces of the spiritual world will not coerce humankind; they allow you to go the way of your own choosing.
The Father requires that the affections of his children be pure and undivided; for I have told you that you shall not serve two masters .. the ways of the Kingdom of the Heavens and the ways of worldly accomplishments shall not go hand in hand, if you desire to find God, become alike unto him, and achieve his Will of Perfection.
Whatever thing or person comes between you and the love of the truths of the kingdom, must be surrendered.
Verily, verily, I say to you, there is no man who has left wealth, home, wife, brethren, parents, or children for my sake and for the sake of the kingdom of heaven who shall not receive manifold more in this world, perhaps with some persecutions, and in the world to come eternal life.
But many who are first shall be last, while the last shall often be first.
The Father deals with his creatures in accordance with their needs and in obedience to his just laws of merciful and loving consideration for the welfare of a universe.
“The kingdom of heaven is like a householder who was a large employer of men and women, and who went out early in the morning to hire laborers to work in his vineyard. When he had agreed with the laborers to pay them a denarius a day, he sent them into the vineyard.
Then he went out about nine o’clock, and seeing others standing in the market place idle, he said to them: ‘Go you also to work in my vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will pay you.’
And they went at once to work.
Again he went out about twelve and about three and did likewise. And going to the market place about five in the afternoon, he found still others standing idle, and he inquired of them, ‘Why do you stand here idle all the day?’ And the men answered, ‘Because nobody has hired us.’ Then said the householder: ‘Go you also to work in my vineyard, and whatever is right I will pay you.’
“When evening came, this owner of the vineyard said to his steward:
‘Call the laborers and pay them their wages, beginning with the last hired and ending with the first.’
When those who were hired about five o’clock came, they received a denarius each, and so it was with each of the other laborers. When the men who were hired at the beginning of the day saw how the later comers were paid, they expected to receive more than the amount agreed upon. But like the others every man received only a denarius.
And when each had received his pay, they complained to the householder, saying:
‘These men who were hired last worked only one hour, and yet you have paid them the same as us who have borne the burden of the day in the scorching sun.’
“Then answered the householder:
‘My friends, I do you no wrong.
Did not each of you agree to work for a denarius a day?
Take now that which is yours and go your way, for it is my desire to give to those who came last as much as I have given to you.
Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with my own? or do you begrudge my generosity because I desire to be good and to show mercy?'”
