The Works of the Father
So many people try to pre-qualify themselves to a specific task or career, but the Lord seeks for the one who is committed to obedience and He calls them to His service. After He has called His obedient one into His service, He equips and qualifies them for the work. This is the life under the direction and control of the Holy Spirit of God.

When the evil, self-centered heart of man is the primary director of a person's life, many times the path will be full of sacrificing the peace of the presence of the Lord... they walk in places away from the open presence of the Lord, and do stupid things which only a selfish human heart can come up with. Their life and the lives of those closest to them are often devastated and wrecked; piled upon a dung heap... is that the end??... no, that's just where the work of the Lord begins again... Ha! It is on one of those piles of discarded lives where we will find our loved ones once again... be ready!

The mandate we have received from the Lord is clear and precise... read it in 2Cor5:11-21... this Scripture speaks to the issue with the precision of a laser. The primary call we have been given is to the task of reconciliation. The message we have been given is “Be reconciled to the Lord!”
