This
is my beloved Son: hear Him
Mark 9:8
Never was there a time
in the history of man when
the listening ear was of
greater imperative. But
the listening must needs
be applied to the right
Source and practised in
commitment, faithfulness
and love.
First each child of the
Father who has committed
himself to honesty, integrity,
unselfishness and service
must create for himself
a pool of quiet every day
, however small, where he
may rest and receive. Those
who practise this faithfully,
after they have been aided
in battle against extraneity,
discover the discipline
as an exploration into eternity,
an occasion of joy and a
means of gradual growth
and maturity. How could
it be otherwise, for are
they not ministered to in
the depths of their being
by the Source of all life
and joy?
And those who in their
singleness of mind and purpose
dispose themselves in this
way earnestly desire a corporate
commitment where they can
identify and progress as
they believe they will be
led and shown.
Now is the time for this
corporate identification
with the Source of all life
and love. Seek and you will
find. Ask and it will be
given. Knock and it will
be opened to you and to
all who in faith and hope
and love offer themselves
in each and every aspect
of life and living
