Heavenly heritage, our
We shall receive it once we are up to the task
July 2nd 2018
Be patient, do not lose courage, because you are all princes and princesses, and a kingdom awaits you. ‘How can this be?’ you might ask, ‘I am exhausted from work, people do not respect me, and some even insult me.’ Rest assured, this is but a temporary situation. The king, your heavenly Father, has sent you down to earth on a short apprenticeship for pedagogical reasons.
In his wisdom and foresight, he says to himself, ’When this child reigns, they will have immense power over millions of creatures, but how are they going to fulfil this task if they have not first developed qualities of goodness, patience and courage? They will be mean, lazy, temperamental, and cowardly; they will imagine that everyone is there to serve them and behave like a tyrant. Therefore, I will not allow them to take possession of their kingdom until they have proven to me that they will not abuse their powers and wealth.’ So, work, retain courage and hope, and one day, you will inherit a kingdom.
