We can
be sure that We love God's children
if we love God Himself and do what
He has commanded us
1 John
4, 5
As you fix your heart and mind
to receive the Father's love so
do you prepare yourself for Our
Indwelling. My saving love cleanses
and redeems, Our Holy Spirit sanctifies,
and eternal life becomes the ethos
of the soul. So love, which is Our
very Presence, becomes the power
through which Our faithful ones
perceive, receive, and exercise
the power of loving.
Let all who seek this power, the
ultimate in heaven and earth, in
time and through eternity, make
frequent offerings of praise and
thanksgiving as they pursue their
daily round. Let them make time
each day to contemplate the Father's
love and let Our love possess the
heart and mind.
So will the soul perceive and know
the Father's will and loving purpose,
and through the faithfulness which
We bestow on him who asks he will
be enabled to be and do all the
Father has commanded. Thus love
will be the means and the fulfilment
of love for God and for his fellow
men.
