Proverbs 2:1-9. Matthew 19:27-29

Knowledge, understanding, perception of the truth and wisdom are the gifts of the Most High to all who seek to find and - finding - follow as they are led and guided by Our Holy Spirit. To the single-minded and the true of heart the gifts are bestowed with power to use them according to the will and loving purpose of the Most High, father of each and every one born into the world. From whom much is given much is required but the loving offering of the least important in the eyes of men is as valued as that of the greatest in the Kingdom of Eternal Life and Light and Love, and their reward is the same.

Each and every one of the sons and daughters of the most High is called to holiness. It is written in the Scriptures, ’pursue peace with everyone and the holiness without which no one will see the Lord’ (Hebrews 12:14) and ‘Be perfect as your heavenly father is perfect’ (Matthew 5:48).

I am the Father’s love and word incarnate in His world and all who are in Me are in the Father too: ‘The Father and I are one’ (John 10:31) In faith and trust and absolute self-giving follow as you are led and guided by Our Holy Spirit.
