My dear people, let us love one another since love comes from God … God sent His only son so that we could have life through Him …. Since God has loved us so much we too should love one another. God is love, and anyone who lives in love lives in God and God lives in him
1 John 4:7-10

Let all the Father's beloved children receive the love which is His life and Being. This is His purpose for all humankind, to receive and to be His love to all in His created world. So shall they share in His creation and be His Kingdom upon earth, sharing His life in time and through eternity, knowing the peace and joy that passes knowledge.

For this I lived and died and rose again, to be the Father's love in all who seek to be His sons and daughters. All are created in His image but each must freely bring his selfhood to the Father to become and have His life eternal. I am His life on earth, His love, His loving purpose and His redeeming, perfecting power in all creation. Yet humbly I wait at the threshold of every human soul to be received and welcomed there, to become the Father's love to him and to His whole creation.
