Jesus
said, "If I wash thee
not thou hast no part in Me."
John
13:8
Consider the preparation
needed before I was ready
and prepared to wash the
feet of my disciples; the
decision was made to perform
the act ; Myself I prepared
for work and service, the
materials I sought and brought
together, and I knelt to
perform the necessary service
to my disciples. So the
act was performed, the necessary
service done, and - of overriding
significance - the relationship
between the Father's loving
committed children established
for all times. Happy are
those who live in the light
of this knowledge and regard
the service of their fellow
men as a joyful and fulfilling
duty, following in the steps
which I have trodden during
my incarnate life.
There is another lesson
which those with eyes to
see and ears to hear what
The Spirit is saying to
those who seek to progress
along the way and become
the children of the Father
such as He longs to see
and know. There is a washing
of the innermost parts of
the being, which is vital
and necessary for sight
for the way forward and
for progressing towards
the perfection that the
Father wills and purposes
for each and every one of
His beloved children.
Our Holy Spirit enlightens,
and where He enlightens
and reveals darkness, weakness,
and such rebellion against
the name of love which often
parades in other guises,
the true loving disciple
commits all in confession
to my saving forgiving love.
Thus cleansed and reset
on the path of faithfulness,
the disciple progresses
in growth and in loving
service of his Heavenly
Father and his fellow men.
And I live and love and
serve the Father and his
beloved children from the
heart of the heart, as I
am given leave.
