Isaiah
26:7-9, 12,16-19 . Matt. 11:28-30
The thirst for righteousness
and truth is in the heart
and mind of man from the
beginning, and it is the
will and loving purpose
of the Father to satisfy
it with His word. His word
is both satisfaction and
fulfilment. But it is challenge
too, and it offers light
and life and truth for individual
and community.
I am the Father's Word
Incarnate and His cleansing
and enabling love. I teach
and train and tend all children
of the Father who offer
all they have and are in
love and trust and in self-giving.
So has it been from the
beginning and shall be till
the end of time. And I gather
all who give themselves
in love both to the Father
and their fellowmen into
Our enlivening and empowering
resurrection life in the
fullness of eternity.
