Jesus said,
"You did not choose Me, no, I
chose you to go out and to bear fruits,
fruit that will last, and then the
Father will give you anything you
ask in My Name. What I command you
is to love one another,"
John
15:16-18
Before time was the Father's will
and loving purpose was established.
The joy of His Presence and the
power of His Being He chose to share
with the sons of men whom He created
in His Image. And the only law of
the world of His creation was the
law of love ; and in the giving
and receiving of love as He conceived
it is the pattern and the enjoyment
of the world He has created (and
is creating) for His beloved children.
To offer a pattern and a perfect
way and to redeem from waywardness
and sin I came to earth, lived,
died and rose again. So all who
follow in My way identify with My
death by dying to sin and self-will
through the power of My sacrifice,
and receive the gift of My risen
life and inherit the Kingdom of
the Father's creation.
And that love which binds each
to the Father in and through My
saving love unites each faithful
one to all the Father's children.
And as each serves so do I enable
and direct in love, through love
and by love in the power of My Indwelling.
