1 Peter 4:12-19. John 15:18-21

Be faithful to the pattern of your life and living which the Father offers you. He has been there before through the offering and self-giving of My Incarnate love. And the Total Godhead is present in the Father's glorious world. Only sin and selfishness and culpable lethargy prevent the Father's Kingdom from its establishment in the hearts and minds of children His love. I suffered, died and rose again that every child of man might come to know the Father's love and have that life eternal which is offered to all the faithful and the true of heart.

Accept the pattern of self-giving love which daily is your portion whatever it may offer. I am present at all times and in all vicissitudes as you continue faithful. Daily seek the joy and the dynamic of My Indwelling Presence and the light and guiding of Our Holy Spirit.

And praise and glorify the Father at all times and in all places.
