Matthew
14:1-12
Truth, integrity and love are partners
in the fabric of the Father's Kingdom,
and
love contains them both. Truth is
the fact of all that is and even
so the way of finding it. Integrity
is wholeness, goodness, reliability,
and faithfulness in all things.
Love is the Father's gift to all
who seek the truth: and as they
find they are enabled to apply its
absolute demands to all they think
and say and do.
No-one who walks in love can seek
to harm his brother. When all is
done each child of man will be required
to give account for his relationships
and actions towards his fellow men.
The Father's loving purpose is to
enter every mind and heart, fill
it with His Presence and establish
His Kingdom in both individual and
community. But each is free to choose
to put on love or to reject it,
and so to build the Father's Kingdom
or oppose it. I died to save each
child of man who seeks forgiveness
for his failure in love, and I suffer
in the consequences of all lovelessness.
