Isaiah
56:1-3, John 5:33-36
The Father loves inclusively
and comprehensively. He
has loved all that is into
existence. To man He gives
freedom to receive or to
reject His gifts to share
with Him the building of
His Kingdom in His world.
To all who fall or fail
in this great endeavour
He offers pardon, strength
and reinstatement in the
way, in the light and power
of Our redeeming, sanctifying
love. He has appointed Me,
His Son beloved and loving,
His Love Incarnate and His
Incarnate Word, to save,
and, through Our Holy Spirit,
sanctify each child of man
committed to the search
for truth in love and in
self-giving. And I lead
all the faithful and the
true of heart through all
sadness, pain and contrary
circumstance into the joy
and glory of Everlasting
Day.
