Jeremiah 17:5-10. Like 16:19-31

The present is child of the past and the heart grows by what it feeds on. Each child born into the world is part of the loving purpose of the Lord of all life; and life and light and truth are his heritage, which grow as response is made to Him who gives them and develop as they are related to in others.

The individual and community and people who are grounded in the life and light and truth of their Heavenly Father, creator of the world and sustainer of all that lives and has its being, live in the power of His love and constantly draw from the springs of renewal, growth and maturity.

Compassion, joy and loving kindness are the fruits in individual and people who have not closed their hearts and minds to the will and loving purpose of him who created them for joyous, self-giving life in Him.
