The daily growth and maturity of each committed child of the Father is, then, basic and material to the building up and the extension of the Father's Kingdom. Integrity in each and every action, loving regard for the interests of each and every person with whom they have to do, concern and constructive participation in the activity of the local and national community and in such international affairs as reflect the welfare of people - all these aspects are vital in the life of everyone committed to the Father's Kingdom . Where any one person or committed group fails in any aspect or matter the Father's Kingdom is diminished by that particular.

But this commitment must never be regarded as heavy and grim duty and responsibility. Rather it represents a challenge to joyful, positive participation with all that breathes life and love into the world of men. For Our Holy Spirit leads and inspires, informs and perfects. And I am the Alpha and the Omega, the vibrant love which is in every sentient human being. Wherever love is rightly ordered and orientated there am I present. And there I remain and grow and prosper in and beyond the person, even to the community and the world unless hindered or expelled by selfishness, lovelessness or perversity.

So all is working together for good where the Father's loving will and purpose prevails in the confines of His Kingdom which stretch even to eternity.
