John 1:43

Philip obeyed My call to follow Me and brought his friend Nathaniel to listen, learn and to become an agent of the Father's will and loving purpose. Not that he saw at once the series of contingent circumstances: it is enough that the faithful follower acts in obedience, faith and trust as he perceives the truth and light and guidance to pursue it. So he becomes, , through his obedience and his trust, the place where the Father's Incarnate Love comes to rest and work and minister in love both to the faithful follower and to the Father's world. So was it in My Incarnate life, so has it been down countless ages and will continue until the end of time.

It is so simple yet so utterly demanding. The cost is total, the reward surpasses all that the human mind could contemplate or the heart contain. The lives of Our loyal, faithful ones bear witness to the truth that absolute self-giving to the call of truth and love is the path to life eternal, through the light and power of Our Indwelling.
