Luke 16:19-31

That man is blind who cannot see the richness of the fabric of the life the Father gives to His beloved children, and deaf who does not hear the beauty of its sound. The sound of birdsong, the beloved voices of the loved ones and the glorious melodies land harmonies that man contrives in differing ways convey the joys of living. And beauty, colour, form and texture vie together in presenting a pantechnicon of glory of all who desire and will to discover and enjoy them.

No eye has seen nor ear has heard what things the Father has stored up for those who seek His will and loving purpose and give themselves to become and do it. But those who respond to love and to love’s challenge discover that they are not asked to wait for Heaven to enjoy those things the Father gives to all who seek to follow faithfully: faintly they begin to hear the sounds of joy and see the signs and signals of the beauty and the glory of the Presence of the Father who created them for joy, fulfilment and perfection in the power of Our saving, sanctifying love.
