Sunday, May 27th
Jesus said,
"I am sending down to you what
the Father has promised. Stay in the
city then until you are clothed with
power from on high."
Luke
24:49
Look, listen, and wait. These are
conditions and attitudes which are
necessary for all who serve the
Father in and through the Son by
the power of Our loving Holy Spirit.
The Father looks for loving attention
from those who seek His will; how
else can they know His purpose for
them? They must direct their whole
being to His Presence, for in their
right orientation is their poise
and readiness for action when the
word is given.
And there must be attentive listening
to that word, constant attention
to that which is imparted in prayer
and in the quiet places of heart
and mind. The Father speaks to each
and every one of His beloved children:
the attentive ones hear increasingly
and grow through their response.
Faithfulness with obedience are
the traits of the Father's truly
committed, for they react only to
His bidding, waiting for His word
of action.
Those who persevere in the way
of this leading, in the power of
My life and the light of Our Holy
Spirit, are possessed by joy and
the Father's Presence.
