Jesus prayed, "Father,………I have given them Thy word "
John 17:14

Thy word was from the beginning and shall be until and beyond the end of time. And Thy word is dynamic truth and illumined love.

Thou, Father, hast given me , Thy beloved , to the world, Thy Word spoken in and through love. And I have given Myself to the world in the illumination and the glory of Thyself.

So all is giving and all is receiving in one great cosmic, loving act. Every single created being is caught up in this witness to that which is, by nature of its existence , when completely fulfilled according to the Father's loving purpose, itself joining in the joyful cosmic dance of love.

But because of the exercise of freedom which is necessary in the process of creation, there must needs be taken into the system the cost of choice and the alternative of refusal . Such winds and binds the whole convolution into a new and sharpened pattern caused by suffering love. Thus changed, the whole forward movement attracts to itself that which had fallen away by reason of choice but seeks the way back by reason of repentance and return.

The word, then, which I have given Thy children, Father, is that which Thou thyself hast given to the world, namely Myself. And through My giving in and through Thy love and by the power of Our Holy Spirit the world is transformed in fact and in hope for progression into Thy Kingdom of Eternal Life.
