Ephesians 6:10-13. Matthew 19:16-26

All you have and all you are is given you by the Most High, father of all in earth and heaven and ruler of all things. And it is offered to fulfil in you the good purpose of the Father’s will and service in His Kingdom of eternal life and light and love. And so it is for every one of the Father’s beloved sons and daughters.

But you have no power of your own to do the Father’s will or to know it unless you seek it at His hands. Pray to know the Father’s will and for power to do it in the grace and power of Our love. Through absolute self-giving and perseverance in the way you will be brought to perfection and fulfilment which the Father yearns to give to each and every one of His beloved sons and daughters through My indwelling and the light and guiding of Our Holy Spirit.

I, the Father’s word and love incarnate am the Way, the Truth, the Life. Follow Me in and through Our redeeming, sanctifying love.
