St John
the Evangelist
What we
have seen and heard we are telling
you so that you too may be in union
with us as we are in union with His
Son, Jesus Christ
1 John
1:3
This is no idle boast but fact
experienced, experience known, fulfilled
and perfected because the loving
Heavenly Father purposed it, Our
saving, sanctifying love enabled
it, and countless faithful souls
attain to it.
Let every living soul who loves
pause to consider where and how
the power to love originates. Does
it come from mind or heart, or is
it an amalgam of the two? Or is
it just a physical reaction? Supposing
it is none of these but the Father's
gift, individually purposed, fashioned
according to the life and character
of each beloved child. Suppose it
is the Father's Very Self, His life
eternal, beckoning every soul responding
to His gift increasingly to know
and share that life eternal which
He is yearning to impart to every
one of His beloved children.
I am the Father's Love Incarnate,
His Word made flesh. Let Me become
His Word in you that love may bring
you to the Father through the power
of My Indwelling and make your joy
complete in one another.
