Jesus said to His Disciples,
"Happy are your eyes because they see, your ears because they hear."
Matthew 13:16

Happy are the faithful and the true of heart, for they shall see the glory of the Father. The Word made flesh became the joy and hope of all mankind. His coming was the Father's loving purpose and through the obedience of the Father's Word man was redeemed. And those who looked and waited for the fulfilment of the Father's promises, faithful in life and witness to the Father's word, became the vehicle of the Father's glory, the means by which the Son redeemed the world.

And so it is for all men of all times. In different times and circumstances the Father's children are called to become His indwelt manifestation of His love and loving purpose for them and all mankind. As each one of His beloved children responds in faith and trust and love to Our approaches, so does he experience and reflect Our saving, sanctifying love.

And though sorrow may abide for a season, as for all the sons of men whoever lived, yet joy is the reward of all the faithful and the true of heart. And they shall see the Father in His glory through Our saving, sanctifying love.
