Thank you for your precious words of love, I needed that and it was timely, isn't just like Yeshua to speak through our brothers or sisters when we need words of comfort and encouragement. I do long to be conformed to His life that is awakened in my deepest place, the place of mercy and grace that he has birthed inside of us. I long for the spiriit inside to take precidence over my flesh, but I do thank God for the weakness I have in the flesh, for when I am weak He is strong, when I fail, He is faithfull, when I fall short He is righteousness to me, He is our righteousness. Praise you my Lord, King, my bridegroom. If you see my Beloved tell Him I long for Him to take me away. I long to follow Him upon the crest of the Mountain of God, and in the valleys of darkness, as long as I follow Him I am not afraid.
Your beloved brother,
Jeffrey
I love that last quote!! I remember how Jesus took me into His love when I was younger and gradually wrapped me in faith and life in Himself. I was also afraid of 'being too tender' with my Beloved. at times I still am shy about showing my devotion to Him. (which is why I love being here with all of you so that we can love Him together!! thank You God) I always feel the need for healing, that yearning for forgiveness. for all the times when I rejected God's holy loveliness as a child...the fact that He's forgiven me so that I can share this loving relationship with my precious Brother Jesus is a blessing, a miracle.
I praise You O Father, and You O beautiful Lord Jesus, and Holy Spirit who washed me in forgiveness, in love, in light and life. Blood of Jesus You saved me, hallelujah! I love You O Lord! You are my Friend, Lover, Brother- my All in All! Sweet Jesus thank You for Your special forgiveness! I shall glorify You forevermore in my soul! O Lovely Lord! O Life! O Jesus' beautiful Passion that drew me to You and set me free! I shall whisper Your name lovingly until I die and then forever bestow loving kisses upon Your blessed Body and Heart when You call me home to Your side! I adore and long for You Jesus! Come my precious Savior, come!
praise and glory, love honor adoration, be to our God forever!
God bless you always,
love, your brother in Christ's eternal family
Listen to these stunning words from Jesus...
He and I, pp 285
"My love is the source of everything. Did you think it was pity? My pity, yes, but moved by this love of Mine that is greater than all other loves. I can only teach you about it little by little, because you are so fragile. For you would faint like the beloved in the Song of Solomon, if more vehement words from My heart fell upon your ear, and if, as in beautiful books I added pictures. You're thinking, "He's talking to me again about Love." And I am thinking, "When can I begin to tell her about it?"
This is wonderful also!! I need to hear this today.There is a similar book called Jesus Calling, by Sarah Young. The devotions are written from the viewpoint of God, talking to His child. One of her devotionals:
Grow strong in the Light of My Presence. Your weakness does not repel Me. On the contrary, it attracts My Power, which is always available to flow into a yielded heart. Do not condemn yourself for your constant need of help. Instead, come to Me with your gaping neediness; let the Light of My Love fill you.
A yielded heart does not whine or rebel when the going gets rough. It musters the courage to thank Me even during hard times. Yielding yourself to My will is ultimately an act of trust. In quietness and trust is your strength.
"Close the eyes of this fear that paralyzes you and throw yourself into My arms. I am the very gentle Shepherd;you know that I'll give you rest on My heart. What matters most of all is the fusion of our two wills -'on earth as it is in Heaven'. No refusal then. Perfect acceptance, not forced but with tenderness and from desire to be more than ever united to Me."
Jesus help me with this...help me to surrender everything I think, feel, love, and all I am to You...I trust in You and love You...
Thanks for reading Ames and for your comments! I am going to listen to Jonathan's song!

wow this is beautiful AmyI'm so glad I came upon this thread!
I think one of the things that is very close to Jesus' Heart is wanting everyone to understand the depth of His love. This is something we can only understand through faith right now, because we can't experience all of His love on earth. You know those times when you feel really close to God...that's just a bit of it...and it's already overwhelming! Imagine Heaven? St Faustina had visions of Jesus... and one day, He told her that if she were to experience all of His love on earth, she would not be able to bear it. We're not ready yet.. I really can't imagine what Heaven must be like but that's what it is, union with God. There was another Saint, who during an ecstasy cried out: "O Lord, if this is Heaven, it is enough!"
But the Lord repled, "You have a poor perspective. The joy you feel now is as but a painting of the sky compared to the real sky."
So what I'm trying to say is we really can't imagine how much Jesus loves us!! His love is literally infinite! wow!
