The Prodigal Returns Part 9

Being lesser than Angels, they served not the Lure, but the offspring of it--Evil--and became subject to Evil. They were made for Love, and in Evil found no Love, and it was an anguish and it tormented them.

And He put them in flesh, that He might limit their suffering and show them His Light again; covered them about with Limits like a merciful Cloak; hedged them in with Evil as a boundary, so they should have no will to fall away further from Him than Evil because of the pain of it.

But in flesh they continued to serve Evil, and the offspring of the serving was Sin: and they were miserable in their service, because of the pain of it; yet no soul could break the bondage of service, because no soul could be found that, being subject, did not serve, and in serving lose freedom by its own offspring.

Then He sent His Spirit to walk with them in flesh, and being proven as a Lover, was not found wanting, and being subject to Evil did not serve, and remaining Sinless had no offspring to destroy His freedom, and He broke the bondage and showed them a light.

He sent, because He repented Him of the Proving and of the Evil that came of it, and His fallen lovers repented and repent of their fall.

His travail and their travail--the travail of severed Love towards Reunion--is the anguish of the Ages: but the anguish will have an end, because Love is Omnipotence.
