Corinthians 4:7-15. Matthew
10:17-22
The Lord Creator, Father
of the sons of men, has
given you life and constantly
sustains you in your daily
life. Through My incarnation
and earthly life, My death
and resurrection and My
risen life, you are offered
eternal life through the
grace and power of Our Holy
Spirit, according to the
Father’s will and
loving purpose
Regard all changes and
chances of this fleeting
world as challenges and
means of growth and maturity
for those whose lives are
hidden in the Son of Man,
the Father’s Suffering
Servant. When suffering
comes – and come it
will to every one born into
the Father’s world
– identify with the
Father’s loving purpose
for each and every one of
His beloved sons and daughters
through My indwelling and
the strengthening of Our
Holy Spirit. Let all who
suffer recognise My Presence
in their suffering for I,
the Father’s Love
Incarnate, am with them
even to the end when the
faithful and the true of
heart will be brought to
the joy and fulness of eternal
love in the glorious Presence
of the Lord of All.
