 These verses share with such clarity God's desire for each of His children, both by blood and adoption. He desires good for His people, not catastrophe, hope and not despair. He wants His people to know and experience the kind of perfect union and relationship that can only be experienced when the servant submits to the Master. And one's only obsession is to better serve one's Lord. When these elements are aligned, the blessings obtained are immeasurable and eternal.
