Isaiah 1:10-17. Matthew 10:34-11:1

The Lord of All, creator of all that was or is or ever shall be, source of all holiness, calls the sons and daughters of His love to tread the courts of His most glorious kingdom and rejoice together in His eternal love. Welcome are the pure in heart and all who reveal the fruits of love’s indwelling in all they think and say and do.

The nature of true love is challenging, calling for sacrifice and single-minded devotion. Such love is liberating and fulfilling but demands not less than everything. Life comes from death to self, love grows by what it feeds on. The Son of Man was lifted up to draw all who are in Me and I in them to the fulness of the Father in the grace and power of Our redeeming, sanctifying love.
