Matthew 19:16-22

Let not your heart be troubled or afraid. And know that I am with you in all you are given to suffer and to do. Obedience, faithfulness, and love in all things are the hall-marks of a saint: aspire to them as you continue in Our service and Our love. They are already yours in part: the part will be o'ertaken by the whole as you continue faithful.

Regard all that you have both spiritually and materially as held in trust awaiting due employment in the Father's use. So will you come to greater wealth and usefulness within the Father's Kingdom and become His sharp and ready instrument to do His will and fulfil His glorious purpose.

For this I lived a human life, suffered, died and rose again: that all who are in Me and I in them proceed to joy, perfection and fulfilment in the Father's Kingdom as they progress in faithfulness, obedience and love.

Love is the means and the fulfilment of all things and all people, and I the love with the Father and with the Holy Spirit.
