Simon Peter asked, " Lord to whom shall we go? Thou hast the words of eternal life"
John 6

The words are a guide to eternal life. My Presence is a foretaste and promise of it. Countless children of the Father have sporadically, some continually, known the presence of my guiding, caring, saving love.

But not a few have penetrated the divide on earth through the following of the lighting and guiding of Our Holy Spirit, cleansed from sin not once but many times along the way they become the dwelling place of my Presence. And according to the measure of their perseverance and self-giving they show and live out the Father's loving purpose for them, in the light of Our Holy Spirit and in the power of my love.

Such is not easily attained . Only by constant striving and not infrequent return to the way after straying from it can eternal life be bestowed and the child of the Father be progressed towards maturity and fulfilment. Nor is he spared the griefs and sorrows , the pains and difficulties of daily living. Rather are they increased , for he suffers in the sufferings of others, giving practical help as he is able. And he becomes the agent of my saving love.

I have given the words of eternal life. I am the Word giving eternal life to all who seek it with their heart and mind and will. Let all who seek centre in Me . And let them daily find time and place for Me to centre in them that they may have abundant life.
