Deuteronomy 33:27a “The eternal GOD is your dwelling place, and underneath are the everlasting arms!”
HIS Waiting Arms!
JESUS has waited with patience
o’erwhelming! Abundant — HIS mercy
and grace are displayed.
Though HIS wrath against sin is in our
thoughts — delayed. Yet! HIS timing is
faultless and flawlessly set.
What loving constraint HE has shown
which has saved us! With sovereign
restraint HIS hands have handled Time…
…so that we have been given the blessing
of Grace and unmerited favor. What rapture
is ours!
With the span called Longsuffering, HE
planned our soul’s rescue forever ago —
before forming the world!
Thanking GOD are we then for HIS
Love’s apprehending…with arms which
await you and I!
As HIServant eager for our SAVIOUR’s embrace,
Whitney
Devotional: Luke 15:20 “And he arose and came to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and felt compassion, and ran and embraced him and kissed him.”
Just as we see in this verse, the warming embrace with love of our FATHER awaits us. Oh what longing we share in expectation of our LORD!
John 6:37 “All that the FATHER gives ME will come to ME, and whoever comes to ME I will never cast out.”
What a beautiful guarantee: The transition is clear! Given from The FATHER to CHRIST the SON WHO then embraces each soul given to HIM by GOD the FATHER! We know and love HIM because HE first loved us, amen?
Matthew 11:28 “Come to ME, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”
So come to the LORD your CREATOR, all who hear HIS voice and are drawn by HIS call.
Come to the Bishop and Shepherd of your souls without any delay.
Yes! Stop circling the sheep pen and come out through the small gate which is CHRIST alone!
Yes! Come to the LORD even now!
Amen and amen!
