Jesus
prayed, " Father,………….for
their sakes I sanctify Myself
that they also may be sanctified
through Thy truth.
John
17:19
There is no perfection
which could be acquired
by or for My own self ,
for it has possessed perfection
since before time was. Tried
in the furnace of suffering
and adversity and death
I emerged still possessing
that perfection , and triumphant.
And the triumph was not
for myself but for the world
created by the Father's
love and sustained and perpetuated
by it.
And I continually experience
the entering, the painful
and purposeful growing,
the suffering, the death
and resurrection of the
world the Father gave Me
to love and to save.
So must it be for each
and every one of My beloved
followers ; in every experience
of relationship, in each
act of service there must
be an identification through
self-offering and dying
to self-fulfilment as the
world knows it.
Let all who seek to know
and live the truth beware
of ease and the desire for
effortless living. Beware
of palliatives which dull
the alertness which is needful
for the fulfilment of the
personality as the Father
has fashioned it in hope
and for the perfection of
the vocation which is being
worked out in and through
each Our loving indwelling
and illumined leading.
Be one with me in commitment
to sanctification in truth
and love.
