Ephesians 6:10-13, 18. Matthew 19:16-56

The Father yearns to pour His love into the hearts and minds of his beloved sons and daughters. But only those who open them to receive and give themselves to His will and loving purpose are able to respond to His love or set out upon the way that He would lead them.

Through prayer and through self-giving the Father's love is poured into the heart and mind: I am the Way, the Truth, the Life, the Father's Love Incarnate and his Incarnate Word. I am the Means and, with Our loving Holy Spirit, the End.

Seek nothing but Our saving, sanctifying love to flood your heart and mind, and in humility, patience and in trust follow where Love leads and guides in faithfulness and obedience. So will Love become your joy and your fulfilment.
