Jesus said
to the leper whom He had healed, "Stand
up and go on your way.
Your faith has saved you,"
Luke
17:11
To act upon that truth which is
conceived as worthy of response
is to progress in the way of salvation.
So did the leper bring to Me for
healing his sick body and his searching
soul. It was his faith which brought
the others too, they half- believing,
he sharing his faith with them.
And all were healed as they obeyed
My voice and responded to My healing
power. So it is for all who walk
in faith and hope and loving trust.
For faith is the Father's love
in action, the hope held out to
His beloved children. All live and
work in some measure of faith save
those who have jettisoned life's
purpose or sought to impose their
will on the Father's world.
That faith which brought the leper
to Me led him and others to their
total healing, wholeness, and to
a normal life. One among ten only
returned to praise the Father and
to offer thanks for all he had received.
So did he progress and find his
soul's perfection and fulfilment
as he journeyed on the rode of life.
Live, work and love in faith, then,
receiving all from the Father through
the light of Our Indwelling, and
the power of Our loving Spirit.
