1
Love’s Brightness
My love, though often only dimly realised, will always grow in the hearts of those who, at all costs, abide in it.
My love is the only true source of lasting light for the journey through this world.
My purpose through the ages has always been the awakening of a sense of My love in the hearts of My children.
Yes, there are forces dedicated to opposing this purpose, but it will not be denied.
My child, where My love is not realised there is darkness, and the outcome is disillusion.
The light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ Jesus.
(2 Corinthians 4.6)
My child, My universe is constructed as it is, so that in all its apparent imperfections and contradictions, My love may be seen the more sharply, once it has been realised.
My love has to be in contrast to all the manifestations of a fallen world in order that it may have power in the lives of My children.
The light shines in the darkness.
(John 1.5)
It may be hard for the human race to understand, but My love gains power and poignancy as it is filtered through the pain and the apparent inscrutability of the created universe.
Love is made complete among us.
(1 John 4.17)
My child, there are many false roads to knowledge of the Godhead. All of them prove bitterly disappointing.
The world’s need is only met in Me – its light.
I came to earth not merely to ‘reveal’ the Father, but to demonstrate His love for all time.
Let it content you that, in Me, you are truly enfolded by the love of My Father.
The only-begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.
(John 1.14)
The uniqueness of My love is increasingly realised as you rely upon it! It begins to go beyond intellectual grasp and becomes your life’s motivation.
You are able both to rise to effort and achievement and to be utterly rested in spirit by the same love.
As you feel more and more ‘at home’ in My love, you will reach the state of desiring nothing else … which is the ultimate state planned for My chosen ones.
I count everything as loss compared with the all-surpassing knowledge of Jesus Christ My Lord.
(Philippians 3.8)
If you are able to see beyond that which has been marred by the original rebellion against Myself, you indeed discover that all creation is love’s expression.
My child, love is still triumphant in creation and you can know that, as you yield to that love, you are a part of that triumph.
All things were created by Him and for Him.
(Colossians 1.16)
Love, as seen supremely upon the Cross, now ceased to be abstract, and apart from the struggles of mankind.
Such love now became a power in human hearts …
By His wounds we are healed.
(Isaiah 53.5)
At the Cross, the essential darkness of a world from which I am so often excluded, could no longer be denied.
All the sense of life’s futility, and all the heartbreak that can be the human experience, was seen there.
There, too, could be seen the bewilderment and the unfulfilled longings of mankind.
As it is contemplated, the Cross permits no lie about the reality of life on earth.
