          “Each step you take brings you nearer to your eternal home in glory with Me.  No act of yours is wasted in God’s economy.  He watches your footsteps and knows your intentions.  It is not the task, but the intention of the heart that gains merit for eternal rewards.

          The eternal reward is to be close to the throne of the Eternal God, seated in heavenly places in Christ Jesus, ruling and reigning with Him forever and ever.  Your menial tasks bring great rewards.  Do not look at anything on earth as mundane.  Everything has a gem within it, a glorious jewel to be placed in your hope chest in heaven.  At life’s end, your hopes will be realized, and your chest will be opened to reveal the beautiful gems, the glorious diamonds, the rubies, the emeralds – all the glory given to these humble works done with righteous intentions … the desire to please God.

          Do not become discouraged, My children, when you feel alone in a world given over to pleasure and unrighteousness.  God sees your heart wearied down with despair over sin’s captivity in the heart of souls.  Your life is short compared to eternity.  The world’s stage is huge when compared with your part to play.  I am the great Conductor of this drama and the world’s burden is upon Me.  I ask you to be a little child, to trust Me, to rest in My works, to be My darling little one, intent on loving and pleasing Me, regardless of those around you.

          My special souls are lone eagles, many times seemingly without support, but this is as it should be.  It toughens you, it strengthens you, it helps you to grow into a mature adult, filled with all the fullness of your Christ, who had very little human support on earth.

          Remember, to follow the footsteps of Christ is a road to Calvary.  There is suffering, persecution, loneliness and rejection from the world, for they know not God, and you are peculiar to them.  They look for a breach in your armor to attack you.  But remember that I am with you always and I will be with you forever in glory, praising you for your faithfulness to Me during your sojourn on earth.

          Be not afraid, My little children, for it is My pleasure to give you the kingdom of God forever.”

Jesus,

Leader of the Children
