Jesus
looked up to Heaven and said,
"Father, the hour has
come ; glorify Thy Son that
Thy Son may glorify Thee".
John
17:1
The Son of Man glorifies
the Father in being and
doing that which it is given
Him to fulfil in being and
doing . So was and is the
Father glorified in perfection
by the absolute self-giving
in love of My own Self.
And it is given each and
every child of the Father
to glorify him according
to that which is given him
in being and in doing :
the measure and structure
of each is many faceted.
As the Father is glorified
so is the world enhanced
and its purpose fulfilled.
What a wonderful and marvellous
destiny the Father has purposed
for His children and for
His world - all contained
and purified and exalted
in and through His love.
But the cost is great -
it is total. In the final
process of my earth life
in redemption did I not
cry to the Father as I plunged
into the depths of human
despair and alienation ?
My cry from the cross was
the outward and visible
sign of the process of redemption,
its cost a losing of the
sight though not the consciousness
of the Fathers glory and
love.
I am the Father's glory
and love to those who hover
on the brink of self-destruction
and His invisible Presence
to all that is created.
The glory of the Father
is manifest in all that
is, and can be experienced
and lived by all who seek
to live in Me in faith and
in love.
