2 Tim . 4:1-5. John 15:1-6

As the vine draws its life and fruitfulness from that which is the fountain of all creativity so are you called to draw that life through Me. I am the purveyor of the Father's life and light and glory in His world: all who are in Me and I in them are given a share of that reality as they continue faithful and seek the Father's will in all activity and relationship.

So will the faithfully committed grow into that perfection and that wholeness which the Father seeks to give them through the power of Our saving, sanctifying love: and they are enabled to fulfil His loving purpose for them in His Kingdom of eternal life and love.
