Deut.
30:15-20. Luke 9:23-25
The way of truth and love
is challenging and demanding.
But it is safe and sure
and brings all those committed
to it into freedom, wholeness,
and - in the end - perfection.
I am the Way, the Truth,
the Love, the Father's Gift
to all who commit themselves
in truth and love and faithfulness.
But though its safety is
assured it is not easy or
without pain and suffering:
how could it be when many
use their freedom for their
selfish ends , and some
delight in wickedness ?
But I have shown the way:
through My self-giving to
the Father's will and loving
purpose I have redeemed
the world and all who seek
for truth in love are guided
into it. The suffering which
they encounter in the way
will strengthen and mature
their purpose as they continue
faithful. And it will contribute
to My perfect offering to
the Father as I increasingly
grow within the heart and
mind and soul.
