"Ephphatha! Be opened!"
by Karen Holland
How can we hear Your voice?
Be opened!
How can we see Your face?
Be opened!
How can we detect Your sweet fragrance?
Be opened!
How can we feel Your touch?
Be opened!
How can we taste Your goodness?
Be opened!
Ephphatha! Be opened and live.
The Word of Life
1 John 1:1-4 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at and our hands have touched--this we proclaim concerning the Word of life. 2The life appeared; we have seen it and testify to it, and we proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and has appeared to us. 3We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ. 4We write this to make our joy complete.
Lord, touch each of our hearts that we may be willing to 'be opened' by Jesus. Help each of us remain open to Your leading. Thank You that as we do this we will be fully alive. In the name of Jesus Christ our Lord.
John 10:10 ... I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.
