All that ministers to joy and love in all its myriad manifestations springs from the Father. It is His will and loving purpose that each and every one of His beloved children proceeds to His eternal Presence where love and joy and every blessing are to be found.

But there must be a constant pruning of the natural self, that joy and love may be encountered in all their fullness. So will perception be enhanced and, through the therapeutic power of self-denial, new understanding gained of ultimate realities. This is a natural process and development of heart and mind. But it can only be achieved through the power of My Indwelling and the light and guiding of our Holy Spirit. And trials and temptations will beset the faithful follower: so may he fail and fall not once but many times along the way. But I, the Father's saving love, will be the power of His returning, his constant lodestar and his perfection and fulfilment. There are such things stored up for all who faithfully pursue the way appointed as neither mind or heart can ever know. Increasingly the faithful soul grows into the knowledge and the understanding of this glorious destiny.
