I am joining Suzie Eller in the 21 Days to Living a Life of Thank You adventure. #livefree https://ctt.ec/ehEiU+
Please join me in this adventure. Click the link to read and find out about it. It starts March 6th.
Each day I’ll post on this blog my experience and challenge each of you as well.
It’s time for a change. It’s time to be more grateful.
Who’s in?
The church yearns for the continuous friendship and liberty with the Lord Jesus that siblings have. That they may be like His brother, and so they are when by grace they are named participants of a Divine creation.
Christ is represented like our Brother; anywhere we witness him, let’s be mindful to keep our bond to Him, and desire for Him, and not worry about being hated because of it.
Do we have within us a faithful desire to serve Christ more and better? In that case, what do we have stored up, to display our devotion to the Beloved of our hearts? What fruit toward righteousness?
The church should require all her children to never upset Christ to leave. We should reflect within ourselves when tempted to do what would break the Spirit’s heart.
What do you do to keep a constant desire to be Christ’s friend? If you don’t, then what? What will you do to have that desire within you? We must not be worried about what others think of our relationship with Christ. We must be the example to draw people to Him.
Comment your response. I’d love to hear from you.
The church, the believer, is victorious in its relationship to Christ, and appeal to Him.
She simply craves fellowship with Him. Let’s amble together, that I can get counsel, guidance, and encouragement from You; and can share my wants and my objections to You, with ease, and without interference.
Fellowship with Christ is what the righteous sincerely live for. And the ones who will speak with Christ must break away from the world.
Wheresoever we are, we will keep up fellowship with Yahweh. We should never go where we can’t, in faith, invite Him to go with us.
The ones who will go with Christ need to begin first thing in the morning about their days; must start every day with Him, look for him first thing, look for Him eagerly.
A loving soul can reunite itself to the most ordinary places if it will have fellowship with Yahweh in them, but the very pleasant area won’t be complete except that the Beloved is there.
Let’s not think to be pleased with any earthly things. Our own souls are our grapevines; they should be planted with suitable trees. We should regularly explore whether we’re fruitful in honor and integrity.
Christ’s nearness will give life to the vine to thrive, and the young grapes develop, while the rising sun renews the gardens. If we can say to him, You know all things, You know that I love You; if His Spirit bears witness with our spirit, that our souls thrive, it’s complete. And we must beg of Him to examine and test us, to observe ourselves.
The consequences and actions of mercy are acceptable to the Lord Jesus. These must be stored up, and always available; that by our helping others in need, He may be honored. It’s all of Him, since, it’s right, it will be all for Him.
What’s your fellowship with Christ like? He longs to spend time with you. Do you crave time with Him? Tell us. Bless others and bless yourself.
Me: I could do better. In the meantime, I enjoy fellowship with Christ. He listens as I talk and as we walk through life together. Your turn.
The similarities here are uniquely different than what they were previously, and in the beginning, relate to magnificent and elegant raiment. Such esteem is all His saints; and are clothed with Christ, they are marked by their elegance and radiantly beautiful garments.
They make the teachings of Yahweh their Saviour more pleasing in everything. Steadfast believers pay tribute to Christ, exhort the gospel, and persuade and revive sinners.
Read today’s full scripture text here.
The church compares to the grand and extending palm; during her love for Christ, and the obedience came about accordingly, are a cherished fruit of the true Vine. The King is maintained in the chambers.
Christ takes pleasure in the gatherings and commands of His people; and cherishes the fruit of His grace in them.
When applied to the church and to each faithful Christian, all this symbolizes that grace of holiness, in which they’ll be given to their divine Bridegroom.
The church’s beauty is from Christ! When we are obedient and allow the Holy Spirit to work in and through us, for His purpose, our beauty shines through. It greatly pleases Him. In doing so, we’re blessed.
Comment how you’re blessed in your obedience to Christ.
Me: Well, we know that nobody is perfect in this fleshly vessel. We all stumble, even I. However, that being said; I do my very best to be obedient to Christ’s call on my life. I stumble along the way, but, He catches me and helps me keep going. Your turn!
In quiet and in thought the Christian character is formed and perfected. But not in the quiet of the still, the self-gratification, or the pretender. When the Christian is freed from the removal of his responsibilities in life, the world has no draw for Him. His prayer is, that all matters relating to the Spirit can live and grow in Him, and surrounded by Him.
So are the fascinating interests and pursuits of him who the world unfairly assumes unhappy, and ignored his true interests. In obedience and meekness, the humble Christian chooses to turn away from the view of all; yet the Lord takes pleasure in honoring him.
Mainly, though, may the source be the administering angels who will be sent for the soul of the Christian. Their coming may alarm, though the leaving soul will find the Lord its power and its share forever.
The church is named the Shulamite: the word implies fulfillment and peace; not in herself, but in Christ, such that she is complete, through his honor; and has contentment, that he made for her by his blood, and gives to her by his Spirit.
Amazing! Because of Christ’s gift of salvation we’ve been made complete, we choose to live our lives in Him, for Him, and be content in doing so.
Comment how Yahweh has blessed your life. Let us know. We want to celebrate HIM with you. Praise Yahweh.
All the real greatness and godliness on earth focus inside the church/the body of Christ.
Christ goes out defeating His enemies, while His followers achieve victories over the world, the flesh, and satan. He shows the care of a Redeemer, the joy He gives in his redeemed people, and the accomplishment of His own forgiveness in them.
Read today’s full scripture here.
True believers, singly, can have the character of holiness. And when their real nature is recognized, it will be accepted. Both the church and believers, at their initial conversion, look ahead as the morning, their light being tiny, but growing.
As to their anointing, they are bright as the moon, receiving all their light, mercy, and grace from Christ; and as to justification, pure as the sun, robed with Christ, the Son of righteousness, and fighting the good fight of faith, under the flag of Christ, opposing all spiritual rivals.
Most flaborious {fabulous & glorious, I made up this word… ;-)}!!!
It’s flamazing {another of my made up word for, fabulous & amazing}!!! I love this word picture created. As you read picture it! Stunning! Yahweh is amazingly stunning and awesomely magnificent. Don’t you agree?
Comment your experience with Yahweh. How does He impact your life?
Me: I’m continually blown away by how awesome and amazing Yahweh is. He never ceases to amaze me daily. He wakes me with His glorious Holy Spirit giving me life. He presents Himself to me in everything I see and do. For example, the sun rising; sun setting, the flowers, the wild creatures that scamper and fly about, the rain, it gives life to everything, the great smells and everything living.
The ones made familiar with the greatness of Christ, and the advantage of a pursuit in Him, wish to know where they may encounter Him. The ones who will discover Christ must seek him first and tirelessly.
Christ’s church/believers is a garden, surrounded, and set apart from the world; He takes care of His garden, relishes in it, and attends to it.
The ones who will find Christ must serve Him in His commands, the Word, communion, and prayer.
When Christ appears to His church, it is to welcome His friends. And to lead believers to Himself: He picks the lilies one by one; and on The glorious day, He will send ahead His angels to collect all His lilies, that He should be forever admired by them.
The passing away of a believer is not higher than the owner of a garden picking a choice bloom; and He will save it from wilting, yes, and cause it to thrive unendingly, with growing beauty.
If our own hearts can see for us that we are Christ’s, do not question His being ours, because the promise never fails on his side.
It’s the solace of the church (believers), that He toils among the lilies, that He takes pleasure in His people.
Yahweh delights in His flock in His garden. What garden to you spend time in? How do you experience Christ? Comment your experience. Let me know.
Me: I delight in Him. I do my best to spend time in His word, in communion with Him, and in prayer. I love sharing Him with others. Your turn!
Even those who only have a slight familiarity with Christ can’t help but see gracious virtue in others who are an example of His image.
There is satisfaction for those who begin to study about Christ and His virtue.
Christians, who are fully informed of Christ, must do everything they can to bring others into the knowledge of Him.
Supreme majesty makes Him absolutely beautiful in the eyes of all who are trained to recognize holy things.
He is white with the pure honesty of His life, reflected in the painful suffering he went through at his death.
This story of the person of the Beloved, would produce, in the symbolic language of those times, a representation of loveliness of character and the dignity of behavior; but the appositeness of some of the references may not be apparent to us.
He wants to appear to be magnified in his saints and to be honored in all that believe in Him. May His love force us to live under his sovereignty.
How does your character bear Yahweh’s image? He suffered, died, and is now alive so that we may love all and spread His Good News to all we come in contact with. He is our Supreme Majesty! He is mind-blowingly awesome!
Comment with your story and bless others as you bless yourself.
Churches and believers, by carelessness and self-reliance, aggravate Christ to go away.
We must notice our spiritual inactivity and deranged circumstances. Christ knocks to rouse us, knocks by His word and Spirit, knocks by difficulties and by our moral principles; hence, Revelation 3:20. See full scripture text for today’s word here.
When we are inattentive of Christ, he still thinks of us. Christ’s love to us should draw our love to His, even in the most unselfish situations; and we can only be victors by doing so.
Reckless souls insult Jesus Christ. No other could be given to open the door. Christ cries out to us, but we are not mindful or pretend we’re weak, or we’re too busy and think we are honestly justified.
Making justifications is making Christ insignificant. The one’s who put dishonor on Christ, who can’t find it in their hearts to bear a heavy storm, or to leave their comfort zone for Him.
Notice the powerful importance of Divine grace. He unlocks the door, as one tired of remaining. This indicates a job of the Holy Spirit on our soul.
The believers rising above their own will, asking by prayer for the sympathies of Christ, and to shed off every obstacle to having fellowship with Him; these depictions of the soul are expressed by the hands dropping sweet-smelling myrrh on the handles of the locks. But the Dearly Loved was gone! By removing Himself, Christ teaches His people to value His loving and gracious visits more deeply.
Note, the soul still cries out to Christ the Dearly Loved One. Every rejection is not hopelessness.
Lord, I believe, although I must say, Lord, help my unbelief. His words forgave me, except, the hateful person that I was, I made up reasons.
When Yahweh opens our eyes, though, the suffocating and despair of judgments will be very harsh to imagine and take in.
The soul went in pursuit of Him. The guards injured me. Some attribute this to those who distort the Word for their crazy beliefs.
The speech to the daughters of Jerusalem appears to mean the troubled believer’s hope of the prayers of the weakest Christian.
Souls on fire for Christ are more tolerant of Christ’s leaving than of any other circumstances.
Is your soul on fire for Christ? If so, share how He is working in your life and bless others as well as yourself. Comment and let me know.
For those who’s souls are in despair and in need of prayer, contact me for prayer here.
Notice how prompt Christ is to receive the calls of His people.
Any tiny bit of good we have in us would be wasted if he didn’t protect it.
He also invites his dearly loved people to eat and drink freely.
The commands that they obey reverently of Him, are the way of grace, mercy, and love.
As today is Valentine’s Day, let’s show our love to everyone and Christ, not only because of His gift of Salvation but, because he cares for each one of us. His grace, mercy, and love overflow with no end, for us.
How are you celebrating Valentine’s Day? Comment your experience.
Me: Yesterday, the 13th, was our 18th wedding anniversary. We celebrated that and Valentine’s at the same time. We had dinner and went a movie together. We don’t do that often. It was very nice to spend that time together.
Now, it’s your turn!
