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.
