Jesus said,
"….if you have faith you
will see the glory of God"
John
11:40
The glory of the Father is the
joy of the whole earth, and all
created beings bear witness to His
wonderful magnificence through the
nature of their being. To angels
and to man the Father has given
the power to see and understand
and to participate in the constant
work of continuous creation as they
identify with His tremendous, glorious,
loving purpose.
From birth to death each beloved
child of the loving Heavenly Father
is brought along the way to joy
and to perfection as he reacts to
all that is offered to progress
his going: Our constant, loving
care is with him all the way unless
he wilfully rejects it. Progressively
he is led through all he experiences
and endures as he continues faithful.
We share his pains and sorrows and
from time to time he knows the joy
and glory of the Father's Presence
as dimly but increasingly his inward
eyes perceive the substance of Reality.
Our saving, sanctifying love brings
every faithful, trusting, committed
child of man into the glory of his
perfection at the last where he
will share with angels and archangels
and the whole company of Heaven
in the joyful glory of the Father's
Presence.
