2 Corinthians 12:24-26. John 12:24-26

The mystery of grace is known by those who follow in the way that they are led and guided . And it is recognised as the Father's love in action , ministered by My Indwelling and through the light and guiding of Our Holy Spirit .

But there must be response if there is to be progress and maturity in heart and mind : first a gentle pruning of that selfish and self-centred nature , and gradually the death of all that separates the soul from Love Itself. Each child of man is lovingly called to be Our love in his particular and unique way . All who progress in faithfulness are brought to their fulfilment and perfection through the power of Our saving, sanctifying love . And they will see the pains and problems of their earthly pilgrimage as training in love's faithfulness and privilege , in identifying with the Son of Man.
