Abundant Life

My Richest Gift

Jesus, Thou didst come that we might have life, and have it more abundantly.

Life, spiritual, mental, physical, abundant Life -- Joyous Life, Powerful Life. Yes! These I came to give you.

Think you not My Heart was sad that so few would accept that gracious gift!

Think! earth's richest, choicest gift held out -- free to all, and no man to care to stretch out a hand to take it.

Is that possible? My Gift, the richest Heaven has to offer, that precious Gift of Life, abundant Life -- man turns away from -- rejects -- will have none of.

Let it not be true of you. Hasten to take -- to use.

Whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him ... shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
John 4:13,14

God Calling Devotional, August 14

Be Sanctified

'We have been talking a great deal about sanctification - what is it
all going to amount to? It should work out into rest in God which
means oneness with God, a oneness which will make us not only
blameless in His sight, but a deep joy to Him."
Oswald Chambers

Knowing Him

His Spirit beckons
calls out to me...
'where are you beloved?'

'Savior' i cry out
'its me, over here
i am tired and alone
my heart stirred by Your voice
but my mind filled with fear...
Will you,
come Lord into this prison of pain...?
its dirty and ugly...
only you can make it right again...
Shine your Holy Light
into the dark recesses of my mind...
come and bring YOUR joy
YOUR Presence
in You alone i find delight...'

'Here I come beloved only an invitation
was I waiting for...
I am a Gentleman and like a loving groom
I wait patiently at your heart's door
knocking gently My Spirit moves...
calling you back from that scary room
Come into the Light
Come back to Me
i have come to lead you HOME
to set your spirit FREE...
BE still and KNOW that I AM GOD.'

"from now on every road you travel
will take you to God.
follow the Covenant signs;
read the charted directions...

keep watch over me and keep me out of trouble;
don't let me down when i run to You."

Psalm 25:10,20
