Jesus took
with Him Peter and James and John
and let them up a high mountain where
they could be alone by themselves.
There in their presence He was transfigured,
and there came a voice from the cloud,
"This is My Son, the Beloved.
Listen to Him."
Mark
9:8
Let every beloved child of the
Father who seeks to love and serve
Him and their fellow-men in and
through Him seek His Presence increasingly.
And as they desire it with purpose
and commitment, so will they be
rewarded in time. Time must be set
aside with opportunity for quietness,
for the Father speaks in the sound
of gentle stillness. Frequently
and regularly should time be made,
and each is led into a pattern of
listening in depth as he commits
himself to the task of self-giving
in love.
So will he become, in the process
of time, that unique person who
was designed before time was to
glorify the Father and rejoice with
Him in eternity. For this end he
was created, and to become a means
through which the Father reaches
out to the uncommitted and unfulfilled.
And to this end have I come to
earth: I lived and died, rose again
and prosper in the lives of those
who know and love Me and the Father
in and through Me. So the Father
calls each and every one of His
beloved children to listen to My
voice in whatever context they perceive
Me, and respond to that which they
hear in the heart of their being.
