Song
of Songs 8:6-7 and Genesis 3:1-8.
Mark 7:31-37
Love gives power to identify truth,
to know the Father’s will
and do it in and through the grace
and power of Love’s indwelling
and the light and guiding of Our
Holy Spirit.
Response and obedience are looked
for in the faithful and the true
of heart; both give growth in life
eternal and - through them –
others are drawn into the orbit
of the Father’s Presence according
to His loving purpose.
Open your heart and mind, then,
to the Father’s Love and dedicate
your whole self to identify the
Father’s will in the comings
and the goings of your daily life
and in all commitments and relationships.
Though obedience the faithful and
the true of heart are brought to
the Father’s Presence in time
and - in and through His Love -
to perfection and fulfilment in
eternity, rejoicing in fellowship
with all made perfect in and through
His Love.
