I
am the Lord, that is My Name:
And My glory will I not give
to another, neither My praise
to graven images
Isaiah 42:8.
Truth, beauty, goodness
and virtue, love, integrity
and all that makes for wholeness
and holiness; these are
the attributes of those
that are faithful to the
life and work which is put
before them. The beauty
and the joy of the fulfilled
life, the soul who, having
seen and understood, faithfully
follows to the end in my
love and in the power of
Our Holy Spirit is wonderful
indeed. It is not secured
without pain and travail
but the sorrow is only for
a season and it is an intrinsic
part of the path to salvation
which is opened up as faithful
following progresses.
How I yearn for the faithful
following of all My beloved
children, how deeply grieve
for the many who are waylaid
in their life and trivialities
and vain and rewarding aims.
How can they even perceive
the reflections of the glories
of reality when they are
bowing down before the image
of banality? So many immerse
themselves in work and leisure
occupations which bring
no reward save to occupy
their time and effort and
so keep them from evil pursuits.
Yet their growth is stunted,
their image under developed
their progress in reality
stayed.
Pray that the children
of the West awake to the
great destiny to which each
and everyone is called.
Be willing to be used to
imprint upon those with
whom you associate the great
and glorious design which
it is the Father's loving
purpose to bestow on all
who look and work and live
for its pattern and fulfilment.
