Infinite God, Personal God

2017-09-06 Devotional with Hymn No comments

Infinite God,
personal God,
You are the God beyond my highest thought.
You are the God nearer to me than my own breath.

You come to me in Jesus Christ.
You come in skin and fragile flesh and bone.
You make Yourself just like me.

You come because I came from You.
You come
to call me,
to draw me,
to bless me back to Yourself.

Infinite God,
personal God,
Father God,
I bow to You and
lift my hands to You.
Make us one again in Christ!

Life and Love

2017-09-04 Devotional with Hymn, One with Our Father No comments

from the book, ONE WITH OUR FATHER
John 14:15-26

“He who has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me; and he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will disclose Myself to him. 

“If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our abode with him.” (John 14:21, 23, NASB)

Loving and obeying God always leads to Him
coming to us and
making His home in us.
Our union with God is a union of love.
As we love Him, He comes to us.
As He comes to us, we love the more.

As we love God, we love others out of love for Him.
That love then unites us closer with Him.
God is love. (1 John 4:8, NIV)
Life in Him increases love,
which increases life,
which increases love,
more and more forever.

Life in God is a life of love.
Life in God flows from love.
Life in God flows into love.

Each Person in Christ

Father, You inspire me with this vision;
You lift my eyes toward this possibility:
each person around me,
each person I know and love
fully in Christ,
trusting in Christ,
loving in Christ,
holy in Christ,
joyful, free, and at peace in Christ,
whole and forever one with Christ.

Father, how thrilling a thought!
Stirred by You,
I imagine it.
I desire it,
for You desire it.
I pray for it.
I long for it.

And Lord, I offer myself as Your instrument toward
this glorious goal:
each dear individual
complete in Christ.
