And
many more believed because
of His own word ; and they
said unto the woman "Now
we believe , not because of
thy saying : for we have heard
Him ourselves, and know that
this is indeed the Christ,
the Saviour of the world"
Luke
4:41-42
There is a hearing which
does not inform and instruct.
The fault does not lie in
the truth before the person
who fails to take the truth
to himself but in the failure
of the hearer. The word
has been and is being spoken
to countless millions the
world over. The Father looks
for loving response to that
which he purposefully expresses,
so that personality may
blossom and others helped
to know and understand the
word, the sick and the lonely
encouraged and healed. The
Samaritans were brought
to me by the woman at the
well. They besought Me to
stay with them for two days,
and during that time there
was the asking of questions,
the searching, the quiet
of joyful participation
in joy and rejoicing in
the embracing of knowledge,
the praising and glorifying
of the Father. Everyone
who seeks knowledge and
understanding must look
long and quietly at the
answers put before him to
the questions which confront
each and every human child.
Time must be set aside,
the mind disciplined to
quiet consideration of that
which invites their attention.
And regular time must be
made by those who are true
of heart who seek the truth
in depth, desiring to be
instructed and trained in
the way. And there I am
to be found, ready and waiting
to show all that is necessary
,as I am given leave. Our
Holy Spirit gives light
to the mind, strength to
the will. Patience and loving
perseverance attain to all
things. The reward is fulfilment
of person and work in the
loving presence of the Father
at the end of time.
