1 Corinthians 1:26-31. Luke 9:23-26

The Father has created you and every child of man to grow into both wholeness and perfection according to His will and loving purpose. Each one of His beloved sons and daughters is called to reflect the beauty of His Being, and to become and do all that He has planned for them from the beginning. And all is for the building up of the one and many in the fellowship of the Kingdom of eternal life and joy and love.

And I, the Father's Son, beloved and loving, came into this, the Father's glorious world, to be the pattern and the way to life eternal. I am the strength and wisdom, the wholeness and perfection, of every one who calls upon My Saving Name, and the means of sanctification and perfection through the light and power of Our loving. Holy Spirit.

Be faithful and obedient, then, in love and in self-giving.
