Jesus said, "This is my commandment, love one another as I have loved you. A man can have no greater love than to lay down his life for his friends"
John 15:12

All love is from the Father and it seeks, having accomplished that which He desires, to return to the Father : it does not return to Him void. The Father rejoices when His love , which is the substance of My Being, purifies and fills His beloved child, unites with His other beloved children, accomplishes that which He purposed, and becomes the vibrant, eternal bond with and in Him. Such love is free, independent , unself-seeking ,ready to be employed at all times for the Father's loving purpose and the service of the one and many.

And so the glory of life is not in the receiving of the Father's love and living in the light of it alone - herein is joy and a measure of fulfilment . But the greatest reward is in attaining that degree of self-giving in which love for the Father and for His children is deployed solely in and for the beloved. Herein is love fulfilled, the loving one perfected. So have I shown in My incarnate life and in My death which was the means of life. Pray constantly for this love that it accomplishes in you all that the Father wills.
