Scripture reference;
“1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2Â The same was in the beginning with God.
3Â All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4Â In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
5Â And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.” John 1:1-5 KJV
“For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” Hebrews 4:12 KJV
“These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:
2Â As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.
3Â And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
4Â I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.
5Â And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.
6Â I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word.
7Â Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee.
8Â For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.
9Â I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.
10Â And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.
11Â And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.
12Â While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.
13Â And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.
14Â I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
15Â I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.
16Â They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
17Â Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
18Â As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.
19Â And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.
20Â Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;
21Â That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
22Â And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:
23Â I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.
24Â Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.
25Â O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.
26Â And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.” John 17 KJV
And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.
2Â And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?
3Â And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.
4Â And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.
5Â And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.
6Â And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.
7Â And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.
8Â And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.
9Â And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;
10Â And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.
11Â And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands;
12Â Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.
13Â And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.
14Â And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever. Revelation 5 KJV
“The Open Book” by Theresa Anne Moore
I am “The Living Word”
Alive and quick to aid.
All who feast upon me
The Spirit did persuade.
I alone am worthy
And filled with Perfect love;
I’ve opened up the book,
and loosed the seals thereof.
All who call upon me;
All who do believe
Shall behold my glory
Their praises I’ll receive.

Image description for the blind and visually impaired: a photograph of a little girl pouring iced tea from a ceramic tea pot that looks like a lemon that has been cut in half. She is faceless, because the picture is from the shoulders down, but she is wearing a pastel floral printed dress, and is seated at a small table outdoors that is spread with a white table cloth as she pours the tea into a mason jar that has been painted with little yellow flowers that are blooming atop green strappy foilage, and is resting on a pale yellow towel. To the left of the towel is a small vase containing what might be yellow daffodils. The entire picture is intentionally lacking the sharpness of an ordinary photograph, so that it evokes a mood that readily embraces that which is nostalgic, ethereal and surreal.
