Elizabeth said, "Blessed is she who believed that the promise made by
her Lord would be fulfilled."
Luke 1:45

All life is promise and hope. Experience teaches that the sun that sets in the evening will rise when the time is right. Every child of man who breathes has no doubt that there will be air enough to sustain his life even to the end. Experience of the present gives informed expectation of future hope.

So the faithful child of the loving Heavenly Father knows, and believes where knowledge fails, that the Father's love will supply all his needs and provide for every encounter to which he is called. And where knowledge and faith are tested in life's way, there is the promise which endures for ever.

For the promise is both knowledge and power, faith and fulfilment. In His infinite love, the Father has provided all that is necessary for life and growth in the natural world. So does He bestow light to the mind and love to the heart that each may extend his being to love and worship Him and to serve his fellow men, and to love them too.

And above and beyond all gifts of the body and mind and human love is My Very Self: Incarnate. Redeeming, Risen, I am the Promise and Fulfilment to all the true of heart and mind in the Father's love and through the light and power of Our loving Holy Spirit.
