EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[MAY 31ST 2010]


+       Keep your eyes "focused" on where you are going NOT where you have been. For where you have been has been but a perfect preparation for where I am taking you now - a positioning [both spiritually and physically] that will serve you well right to the end of the age.

        ...."THEREFORE THEN, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses [who have borne testimony to the Truth], let us strip off and throw aside every encumbrance (unnecessary weight) and that sin which so readily (deftly and cleverly) clings to and entangles us, and let us run with patient endurance and steady and active persistence the appointed course of the race that is set before us, Looking away [from all that will distract] to Jesus, Who is the Leader and the Source of our faith [giving the first incentive for our belief] and is also its Finisher [bringing it to maturity and perfection]. He, for the joy [of obtaining the prize] that was set before Him, endured the cross, despising and ignoring the shame, and is now seated at the right hand of the throne of God. [Ps. 110:1.] Just think of Him Who endured from sinners such grievous opposition and bitter hostility against Himself [reckon up and consider it all in comparison with your trials], so that you may not grow weary or exhausted, losing heart and relaxing and fainting in your minds".... Hebrews 12:1-3 The Amplified Translation
