Ephes. 3:8-12. John 15:9-17

Love is the dynamic of all that is in Heaven and earth - the Father's Presence in His world, His power in action. It is offered to the sons of men through My Indwelling : I impart it and reveal the open secrets of its power, the mysteries of its influence, as I am accommodated in the soul.

This one command I give, to love with every fibre of your being so long as you have life : live on obedience to the overriding law of love. So will you grow into union with Us in obedience to the Father's will and loving purpose and, through that faithfulness, be increasingly united with your fellowmen and women. The Father's will is done through love and absolute self-giving.
