Glory Seed Devotional’s, 2017: Anticipating and Experiencing Jehovah-Jireh...
Jesus, you are my safe place
Shalom!
“Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28, NLT)
Jesus, you are my source of strength!
• I am weak, but my faith in your strength is strong.
• I may wonder why I become weak or why difficulties happen but I'll never wonder about the depth of your love for me.
• I rejoice in my weaknesses because through them I've come to know you.
Jesus, you are my Lifeline!
• Without you I am but a body with a heartbeat, just a little higher than an animal.
• But with you I am a valued child of God.
• Because of you Satan is jealous and seeks to take me away from you.
• But I am not afraid because I know you are my Lifeline, my connection with God the Father.
Jesus, you are my eyes!
• I need to see with spiritual eyes because I need to see into the hearts of people to see their pain, to see their weaknesses.
• I need to see the path upon which I can walk that enables me to witness to them your love, your strength, and your compassion.
Jesus, you are my hands!
• I need to see life from the cross.
• I need to look at my hands and see that they are the hands of a servant giving his life so others may live.
• I need to look at my hands and feel your pain and in some small way become apart of the Father's eternal plan.
Jesus, I need your heart!
• I need your heart so that I may center every waking breath proclaiming your life, your breath, your death and resurrection to those whose hearts are of stone.
• I need your heart because it is the center of your compassion and the center where forgiveness flows freely.
Jesus, you are my Home!
• When it’s raining and cold I can come in and get warmed and dried by the heat from your heart.
• When I am hungry I can enter your dining room and feast on the best heaven.
• When sin has done it dirty work and turned me filthy-dirty I can go in your laundry room and be cleansed by your sacrificial blood.
• When I am out of breath from struggling against overwhelming odds I can walk into your chapel and feel the gentle life-giving breath of the Holy Spirt.
Jesus, I am yours!
“Wait patiently for the Lord. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the Lord.” **
Grace and PEACE,
Gary
