1 John 5:1-5. Matthew 10:22-25

Open heart and mind to all the Father yearns to give to every one of His beloved sons and daughters – that is faith in His beloved Son and understanding of His life and death and risen life to all responding to His Love in faith and trust and absolute self-giving.

But let each and every one obedient to the Father’s Word and faithful in His Love realise that Truth invites response and that response varies according to the openness of heart and mind in those to whom it is revealed. The Son of Man invites the faithful and the true of heart to unite with Him according to the Father’s will and loving purpose in the grace and power of Our redeeming, sanctifying Love.

‘It is enough for the disciple that he should be like his teacher and the slave like his master (Matt. 10:24). And remember, ‘I am with you always, to the end of time’. (Matt. 28:20).
