Jesus said,
"A man's life does not consist
in the abundance of his possessions."
Luke
12:15
Everything in Heaven and earth
created by the loving Heavenly Father
glorifies His Name by becoming that
which He designed. All in the natural
world spontaneously responds to
its Creator as it fulfils its natural
attributes and grows into the fullness
of it begin.
The sons of men the Father has
created in His image. He has endowed
them with the power to think and
reason, to join with Him in creating
and adapting all that is upon the
earth, in seeing with the artist's
insight, and above all in loving,
and through love to enable our redeeming
work and sanctification.
What, then, does man's life consist
in but a feeling for and making
towards perfection? Not that perfection
can be attained through man's own
striving. But it may be attained
through love and faithfulness to
that which is presented to the heart
which cares and mind that seeks
with singleness of purpose. I am
the Abundance of all that is, Our
Holy Spirit guiding and perfecting.
Love is the measure of all that
is in Heaven and earth, and those
who give themselves without reserve
to all the challenges that love
demands receive the Father's blessings
in abundance and their perfection
in Our saving love.
