Ezekiel
24:15-24. Matthew 19:16-22
Each child of man is called
to seek truth and justice,
integrity and honourable
dealings with his friends
ands neighbours. So is it
with all families and groups,
communities and nations.
Where the code of honour
and respect breaks down
and men and women begin
to serve their selfish interests
the peace is threatened
and eventually fractured,
and disaster comes to individual
and communities and peoples.
So has it always been upon
the earth the Father offers
to the sons of men. The
way to safety and salvation
in all times and places,
in peace and war, in ease
and plenty, is in the offering
of all you have and all
you are to Him who has created
and is continually creating
you, and to live each moment
of each day in the power
and joy of Our saving, sanctifying
love.
