Whispers of His Power – APRIL 3
Let us not waste one hour in fear, in dullness, in despondency, for He is never nearer than when we do not see Him…
Let us not waste one hour in fear, in dullness, in despondency, for He is never nearer than when we do not see Him…
However I mark this Salvation Day, in worship, in passion plays, in processions, I know that by day’s end I am loved. May you know that same deep deep love which called our Beloved to the Cross that He might die for love of our love.
In these last few days of Lent step closer. Try to stand at the cross and remember what it was the first time you stood there as a lost sinner.
Then, as the Laodicean Christians were encouraged, listen for the knocking of the Light of the World on your heart’s door and let love in.
…I learned to pray, ‘Love through me, Love of God’.
To understand the force of any Scripture, a good plan is to put it into opposite words….
Cherished by the One we cherish we are transformed and enabled to love the unlovely with the same love which turned our inner beast into beauty.
Easter has always been BOGOF – Buy One Get One Free.
…not deserving this the greatest of all gifts, have the love of the One Who Loves us Best lavished upon us not once but twice! We are saved by the death of our Beloved and we are saved even more by His Resurrection.
When two people who love the Lord misunderstand each other and get into a tangle, there is generally a mistake which a few honest words will clear up.
What we need is a Saviour.
Someone who knows about the costly price of making peace.
Someone who can carry this cross for us.
Someone who we can gaze upon, be captivated by, and try to imitate.
O Breath of Life whose winds blow about me now, let me be all open to Thee today.
