Dear friends,
let us love one another, for love
comes from God. Every one who loves
has been born of God and knows God…No-one
has ever seen God: but if we love
one another, God lives in us, and
His love is made complete in us
1 John
4:7-15
The Father prodigally bestows countless
gifts upon His beloved children
throughout the life of each and
every one. And every gift of love
is for growth, maturity and joy
in the building up of individual
and corporate life. Each need must
be held in reverence, tended and
shared.
But though it is for the bonding
in loving self-giving between individuals
and society, the priceless gift
of love is most especially the means
and the purpose, the perfecting
and the fulfilment of life itself.
Every gift of love between children
of the Father is for the opening
up and enlargement of channels of
loving between earth and heaven.
So let each loving relationship
be accepted and enjoyed as a trinity
of joy that there is growth in eternity
and in the bonding with the Father
in praise and service.
Thus it is for all who are in me
and I in them. Through My Incarnate
life, death and resurrection I dwell
in the heart and mind of all who
love Me. I am love in them, uniting
them to the Father and each to other.
Pray constantly to live and grow
in love that you may come to perfection
and joy through service. and self
giving.
