Luke
5:33-39
The word imparted by the Father
to His beloved children to lead
them into truth, conserved down
countless ages and welcomed in the
heart and mind, will always have
its value for those who seek the
perfect life.
But it should be regarded and employed
in tandem with another even greater
gift the Father offers, namely His
Holy Spirit. All who desire to know
the Father and to serve Him and
their fellow men receive His gift
increasingly. Those who seek the
Father's will and give themselves
to His all-loving purpose are given
greater discipline for their hearts
and minds and lives than any rules
or regulations. Rules have their
place in life but are but aids along
the way: the discipline of love
is far more searching and rewarding.
And so the Father gives His Incarnate,
loving Word to all who seek in depth
and follow with self-giving. I,
the Father's Love Incarnate, become
the Way of perfectness to all who
seek to serve the Father and their
fellow men. And I reveal the way
for each to find the end in all
its fullness and reward, namely
the Father's Presence.
