Proverbs
2:1-19. Matthew 19:27-29
The Father, Lord of all in His
created world, the Most High God
and ruler of all on earth and in
heaven, speaks to His beloved sons
and daughters through creation,
through His Word to be found in
Holy Scripture, and in the silence
of eternity. But all who would hear
His Most holy Word, enter His Kingdom
of Eternal Life and Light and Love
and make progress in the Way of
life eternal must follow faithfully
as they are led and guided by Our
Holy Spirit and give themselves
to the grace and power of Love’s
indwelling and continue faithful
in the Way.
And if the cost is not less than
everything let one and all consider
and reflect that the Father, Lord
God of all on earth and in heaven,
gave His beloved and only Son to
live, to suffer and to die in His
created world ‘that all believing
in Him may not perish but may have
eternal life’. And the life
offered by the Father’s Word
and Love Incarnate is enlightening
and empowering to love and serve
the Father and know and do His will
according to His loving purpose
- as they continue faithful in the
Way.
(John 3:16, 10:10.)
And through the faithful and the
true of heart obedient in the Way
the one and many are brought to
the Father’s Presence in time
and eternity to share the joy and
the fulfilment according to the
Father’s will and loving purpose
in and through the grace ad power
of Our redeeming, sanctifying love.
