Sight Beyond the Surface

When I awaken by the grace of God and the Holy Spirit steps into the home of my heart, do I acknowledge His Presence with immediacy and receive Him sincerely? Is the strength of my desire for Him to take over every mental faculty and physiological feature apparent and abounding?  Do I recognize Jesus for Who He is, thus purify myself of every external hinderance to our relationship?  Does the fragrance of my worship fill the throne room of God, Who seeks those who pursue Him in Spirit and Truth?

He is worthy of it all.

May I be conscious of His abounding grace and perfect love that identifies me as His own and the blood of Jesus cleanse me of all unrighteousness that I may walk in a manner worthy of His call.

May His manifest Presence in my life testify of the reality of Christ and glorify Him in every instance.

May the few who read this know this very day that GOD lives in them, thus His love can flow through us like rivers of a strange and wonderous water.  We are not of this world, nor is the eternal power within.

May the Truth of His Word govern our lives as living epistles to those God places within our small sphere even while striving to remain faithful.

Great is Thy faithfulness Oh Lord.

Lk 7:44-50 And turning toward the woman, He said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I entered your house; you gave Me no water for My feet, but she has wet My feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair. ⁴⁵ You gave Me no kiss; but she has not stopped kissing My feet since the time I came in. ⁴⁶ You did not anoint My head with oil, but she anointed My feet with perfume. ⁴⁷ For this reason I say to you, her sins, which are many, have been forgiven, for she loved much; but the one who is forgiven little, loves little.” ⁴⁸ And He said to her, “Your sins have been forgiven.” ⁴⁹ And then those who were reclining at the table with Him began saying to themselves, “Who is this man who even forgives sins?” ⁵⁰ And He said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you; go in peace.”

Col 1:27 to whom God willed to make known what the wealth of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles is, the mystery that is Christ in you, the hope of glory. 

John 7:38 The one who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, ‘From his innermost being will flow rivers of living water.’” 

2 Cor:2-3 You are our letter, written in our hearts, known and read by all people, ³ revealing yourselves, that you are a letter of Christ, delivered by us, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.

John 17:16-17 They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. ¹⁷ Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth.
