Jesus prayed, Father,……all Mine are Thine, and Thine are Mine, and I have been glorified in them."
John 17:10

The children of the Heavenly Father are glorified by the love which the Father bestows on them : the innocent child, the forgiven, redeemed person and the committed, mature-in-good-works son and daughter of Our loving purpose.. All receive glory, often hidden from those without faith , by possession and indwelling. Their possession is by Love and thus totally liberating , the indwelling is by My life and in the power of our holy Spirit. And all is in the context of the glory of the Father.

Those who rejoice in this context share this family birthright which grows by what it feeds on. And with those who have eyes to see , the Father's kingdom daily grows in this glory. Yes, many are outside the boundaries of the Kingdom , even more possess a tenuous hold on it. But even the most wayward are held in the love of the father , and as often as they are confronted with a reflection of His glory in those thus permeated or even touched by the fabric of His love are challenged and called into the fold.

If evil deeds stand out sharply and witness to a situation alien to the loving design loving design of the loving Heavenly Father , this dichotomy itself bears witness to the situation of a loving purpose. For why should goodness and the abhorrence of evil be looked for if there is not a pattern of perfection sensed at the heart of all being ? Rejoice in the glory of Our indwelling.
