Jesus
said, "Verily I say to
you, 'except a grain of wheat
fall to the ground and die
it abideth alone , but if
it die it beareth much fruit'
John
12:24
Just so, every child of
the Father brought into
the world in all times and
places is given a beautiful
form and structure which
glorifies the natural world
into which he is born. The
artist has so often grasped
the beauty and encapsulated
in line and paint the perfections
for posterity.
But that beauty is designed
to give place to a perfection
which calls out the willing
co-operation of each and
every child of the Father.
And that perfection can
be approached only by dying
to the natural self and
offering the whole of his
humanity to that which created
and fashioned his being
and challenged his potential
in the loving purpose of
his loving Heavenly Father.
The reborn entity which
arises from this death to
natural self men call 'the
soul'. And I receive and
nurse into wholeness, tend
and call into maturity this
new being as I am given
leave. For all proceeds
by free choice and consent.
The process is love and
loving commitment, the way
is demanding in every way,
yet charged with grace,
communion and the power
of Our Holy Spirit.
As I died ,and through
my willing ,surrendered
life and death draw all
men to Me, so do I joyfully
invite my loving friends
and followers to identify
with me in fulfilling the
Father's loving purpose
in drawing all the children
of men to him through My
saving act.
