And the meaning, the name and the
purpose is love. Love is totality,
the means and the summit of all
things created and uncreate. Nothing
is which is not of love: all that
loves and is loved is of the nature
of reality.
But the face of love in the world
of men is marred by the alien taint
and canker of sin. This is the inevitable
circumstance of cosmic freedom;
knowledge of the menace of its limited
hold on the minds and hearts of
humankind was fully seen and known
before ever creation was. And so
was the means of its termination,
As I am the love of the Father,
so am I the termination of sin in
time, its negation in eternity.
Death seals the power of sin and
all who die to sin in life already
experience the mortality of sin's
power.
Joy is the destiny of all the faithful
in love and self-giving, and fulfilment
of all that is promised and purposed
by the Father since the beginning
of time. When pain and seeming loss
harry the heart and bemuse the mind
let the love of the Father suffuse
your whole being in the power of
My Indwelling.
