This is my prayer, that your love may grow ever richer in knowledge and
insight of every kind
Philippians 1:9.
Jesus said, "By this love you have for one another everyone will know that you
are My disciples."
John 13:35
Jesus said, "The first will be last and the last first."
Matthew 20:16

It is not in achievement or fame alone that the greatness of the Father's children is measured, but in the measure of their loving and the completeness of their self-giving. Those faithful and true labourers in His vineyard who have listened to His voice, responded to His call, sought guidance and power, and given themselves in the totality of their redeemed, sanctified humanity, are the sons and daughters by choice and commitment and by grace. So do they know the joys of His Kingdom even as they identify with the challenges, burdens, and suffering of their earthy life.

And those who have attained, and those who even now are relating to the prize of their high calling, are they who have sought above all else the gifts of love, and receiving it have accommodated their whole lives to living in the light and power of it. And living and working in the power of love those who already rank high in the Father's Kingdom seek ever more searchingly the reward of all who continue faithful to the end, namely to be presented by Love to Love in the glorious fulfilment of all things.
