Jesus said, "Verily I say to you, 'except a grain of wheat fall to the ground and die it abideth alone , but if it die it beareth much fruit'
John 12:24

Just so, every child of the Father brought into the world in all times and places is given a beautiful form and structure which glorifies the natural world into which he is born. The artist has so often grasped the beauty and encapsulated in line and paint the perfections for posterity.

But that beauty is designed to give place to a perfection which calls out the willing co-operation of each and every child of the Father. And that perfection can be approached only by dying to the natural self and offering the whole of his humanity to that which created and fashioned his being and challenged his potential in the loving purpose of his loving Heavenly Father.

The reborn entity which arises from this death to natural self men call 'the soul'. And I receive and nurse into wholeness, tend and call into maturity this new being as I am given leave. For all proceeds by free choice and consent. The process is love and loving commitment, the way is demanding in every way, yet charged with grace, communion and the power of Our Holy Spirit.

As I died ,and through my willing ,surrendered life and death draw all men to Me, so do I joyfully invite my loving friends and followers to identify with me in fulfilling the Father's loving purpose in drawing all the children of men to him through My saving act.
