Hosea 2:16-17, 21-22. Matthew 25:1-13

Let beauty, truth and goodness, music and the mind and heart of man be means of identifying the loving purpose of the loving Heavenly Father. So will the one and many gradually but surely grow in the knowledge and fulfilment and the joy prepared for them in the fulness of eternity.

Life is for garnering the gifts the Father offers, time for employing them according to his will. The faithful and the true of heart will, at the end of time, be received into the Glorious Presence despite all faults and failures for I, their Saviour and Perfecter, make all things good through the grace and power of Our love.

Let the reality of this truth, then, encourage and empower you in all things. Pray to be ready at all times for your Lord and Saviour’s coming: readiness is all in doing and becoming.
