Jesus
prayed, " O righteous
Father, the world has not
known Thee but I have known
Thee , and these (disciples)
have known Thee and they know
that Thou hast sent Me. And
I have declared Thy Name to
them and will declare it so
that the love wherewith Thou
hast loved Me may be in them
and I in them ".
John 17:25-26
Love is the name and the
power and the glory. And
by My death and resurrection
I have endowed the name
with the means of salvation.
So in putting on love in
my Name My Disciples are
taking to themselves the
love of the Father, My Saving
Name and commitment to live
it through in the power
of Our Holy Spirit. But
these are not three contingencies
but one, and the love and
salvation which is in one
is in all.
These are deep and demanding
mysteries. It is not necessary
that they be understood
with the mind. It is necessary,
vital, that they be related
to in the heart and lived
through in relationships
and activities in the world.
Engagement and the strengthening
of purpose can be found
in solidarity with others
of a like mind and heart,
and it rejoices Our Godhead
to see Our loving, committed
ones in communion together,
both with one another and
with all who rejoice in
The Nearer Presence . Some
who meet together in this
way fail to progress as
they might through their
fellowship ; many stay outside
and fail to experience the
value of solidarity but
find Our life.
Let the love which is the
life and the peace of Our
presence grow daily in you
and make you whole and perfect.
