John 2:18-25. Matt. 5:13-19
Truth is unchanging, self-fulfilling,
and challenges the faithful
and the true of heart in
all things. Our Holy Spirit
leads the soul in truth,
and Love's Indwelling brings
the faithfully committed
to their eternal destiny
as they continue faithful.
Be ready at all times to
respond to the word the
Father speaks to all who
seek truth and power to
walk in it. His loving purpose
has surrounded all that
is from the beginning. His
word, imparted to all able
to receive it, reveals the
part each individual and
community is invited to
take in love and in self-giving.
Such is the truth in all
times and places: many have
perceived the challenge
for themselves and for their
world as they paced out
their years in life and
living. Some tentatively
walk the path of service
and self-giving perceiving
dimly, failing often. To
all is offered the insight
and the power of Our saving,
sanctifying love to lead,
retrieve and reinstate through
grace as sin and failure
meets each some time in
the way.
All obedient to that which
dimly they perceive within
their hearts and minds are
salt and light in every
generation, witnesses and
signposts to the love which
has no ending and the peace
which passes knowledge.
