Friday, January 5th
Jesus said to Nathanael, "I tell you most solemnly, you will see heaven laid open and above the Son of Man, the angels of God ascending and descending
John 1:51

Heaven is laid open immediately to each child of the Father who offers himself in love and self-giving to his Father. Life is for learning what this means and for accepting the opportunities which we constantly put in his way. I am at the centre of all that is, revealing the way, enabling and fortifying in all things. And the horizons of the Kingdom of Eternal Love are increasingly perceived and felt and known by those who continue in faith and trust, for the angels of God are continually rolling them back for the true of heart.

Sorrows and sadnesses, failures and sense of loss - all are experienced by every child of the Father the world over, by those committed to Him no less than by those who are not. But those who follow in the way they are called are held, strengthened and illuminated in all things by their inner sight of the Son of Man, surrounded by His holy angels revealing the meaning and purpose the power, and the glory of the Father's Love.
