Deuteronomy30:15-20. Luke 9:22-25

Life is power and life is growth, and full life is faithfulness to the Father’s will and loving purpose. All who would receive the fulness which the Father offers every one of His beloved sons and daughters must offer all they have been, all they are, and all the Father wills and purposes for them in and through His love and loving purpose, and continue faithful and obedient even to the end.

Even so did the Father’s beloved and loving Son, the Father’s Word and Love Incarnate in His created world, live in faith and trust and in absolute self-giving.
Even He asked for the cup of suffering might be withheld: ‘Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from Me’ was My prayer in Gethsemane, ‘nevertheless, not My will but yours be done’ (Luke 22:41-44)

Live faithfully and constantly in faith and trust in Him who loved you into being. So shall we bring you to perfection and fulfilment in the Father’s glorious Presence in the fulness of eternity.
