~ JOY in reception of Your Word sewn

From March 21st entry, main blog:

"Losing My Ground" ~ Fergie ~
The MOST amazing thing about You, Jesus....is that You don't ignore me when I want to learn...... ever. Some days, it seems that I receive no response from You. Yet, the key in that sentence is: "_I receive_ no response..." Usually, that's because You are busily answering my prayers behind the scenes and preparing me TO receive.

Yesterday was one of Your dispensation days for me. I received, after MUCH preparation, of your Words to my Spirit. THANK YOU. Help those gathered in to take firm root in me, for Your glory and my edification.

The COMMENTS on my "Joy in how safe WE are" entry from a few weeks ago, have helped me to express some of what You are ministering to me, Jesus. You are the King of me.

These passages, I read again yesterday. Thank You for the life of this monk, Jesus. Thank You for his faithful searchings and discoveries of you, for Your glory. Amen

THE EXCELLENCE OF A FREE MIND, GAINED THROUGH PRAYER RATHER THAN BY STUDY

THE DISCIPLE
IT IS the mark of a perfect man, Lord, never to let his mind relax in attention to heavenly things, and to pass through many cares as though he had none; not as an indolent man does, but having by the certain prerogative of a free mind no disorderly affection for any created being.

STRENGTH AGAINST SLANDER

THE VOICE OF CHRIST
... Where are true peace and glory? Are they not in Me? He who neither cares to please men nor fears to displease them will enjoy great peace, for all unrest and distraction of the senses arise out of disorderly love and vain fear.
