Isaiah 11:1-10. Romans 15:4-9. Matt. 3:1-12

The Father offers peace to all within His glorious world. To each within his heart and mind and all together near and far it is His will and loving purpose that the children of His love should live in peace within themselves and even so with one another. But peace is founded on the rock of faithfulness, integrity and truth, and issues from the source Being and Becoming whom men call God. From that Source pours love and light and life continually, and all who turn from sin and selfishness and service of the self receive the enlivening and enabling which the gifts bestow.

All that is necessary beyond the turning towards the Source of Love is faithfulness to the word which constantly is offered to the faithful and the true of heart. The word is vibrant and dynamic and is found as it is sought with diligence and commitment. It is not far from every child of man and increasingly provides its own momentum. That word is spoken by the Father: it is the word of integrity, faithfulness and love. The Word was with the Father before time was: that Word was God and is the light and life and love for all the redeemed and sanctified and - with Our Holy Spirit - for all faithfully committed in The Way.
