Jesus said, "Without Me you can do nothing."
John 15:5

And where nothing constructive is accomplished there is joylessness and unfulfilled living. For such you were not born into the world but to be a jewel in the crown of the Father, shaped and refined by His Holy Spirit, polished and made clear and refulgent by my saving love, reflecting light to all that lives. What a glorious fulfilling, rewarding destiny, and predestined for all who live in loving obedience.

But there is need for careful, disciplined progression in Our Holy Spirit; first the willed commitment, then the continual search-lighted conscience and always the faithful looking for the path of integrity, the way of fulfilled discipleship, not straying nor deviating. And when trials, temptations and failure do come, there must be the speedy acknowledgement and return to the path in contrition and faith in the loving forgiveness of the Father.

Above all, there must be a sense of, and receiving of, life, of point and purpose and responsibility in activity, of forgiveness, of love, of friendship, of coming and of going, and of the joy of belonging to the family of the Father which stretches from time immemorial through time and into eternity.

Without me you have none of these things. So stay close to me, believing and loving, nothing doubting. And all will be well for you, for the work you are given, and for those with whom you have to do.
