1 John
3:14-18. Matthew 25:31-40
Let the welfare of your brother,
friend and neighbour be your concern
in all things, second only to your
faithfulness to your commitment
to the will and loving purpose of
your Heavenly Father. All who are
in Me and I in them gradually discover,
as they seek the way of faithfulness
and obedience, that these are not
two things but one. And as the true
disciple serves his friend and neighbour
and the needy constantly at his
door he discovers that he is serving
me and – through Me –
the Father too.
Let the faithful in Our love rejoice
in this. But let the selfish and
self-centred soul beware and turn
and receive the gift of Our self-giving
love. So shall We welcome him in
the Kingdom of Eternal Love at he
end of time.
