Jesus said
to His Disciples, "Be compassionate
as your Heavenly Father is compassionate........
The amount you measure out is the
amount you will be given back."
Luke
6:27-38
The Father's love encompasses His
whole creation and interpenetrates
all that is within it: it rests
within the heart and mind of those
who perceive, desire and welcome
it into their souls.
And it becomes the means and power
of loving others in the Father's
world, both general and particular.
Our Holy Spirit directs and guides
according to the Father's will and
loving purpose for the one and for
the many.
The Father forgives each child
of man who sins against His love
and seeks forgiveness. And He reinstates
him to a full relationship with
Him as it is faithfully sought.
So does He look to each and every
one of His beloved children to live
at peace with all his relatives
and friends and to forgive each
one who may offend or hurt him,
restoring him to a full relationship
as it is desired and sought.
