Friday, September 6th

All that is in Heaven and earth is one in fact, expectancy or potential. That which deviates from this implicit law of all created and the uncreate through choice and perverse will cannot be received into the joy of life eternal. The loving Heavenly Father has individually designed each species of the natural world and every child of man for individual perfection. Joy is the ultimate condition of all that has been, is now, or ever shall be: but all must travel first through the demanding realm of growth and choice, of suffering, the referred wrong choice of others both present and remote. But the Father's love is ever present at all times: He sees and knows all that His loved creation experiences and suffers, ceaselessly offering His Presence and His help in all things.

I am the Father's Presence in the world. Not only have I lived and died and risen again, becoming life and power and love to all who give themselves to Him who loved them into being. But I identify in all experiences of joy and failure and sadness as I am looked for and invited. And I unite in joy and sorrow all who rejoice and grieve within the Father's committed family in every nation, race and tribe. And all are one in responsibility for each other.
