Only by a Person

John 6:51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world."

I will bless you when your hearts turn to Me in earnestness and sincerity. From where shall your help come, except from the Lord? You search in vain for satisfaction from your worldly passions.

Your sould can be nourished only by a person- not by any thing, and the only person adequate to meet the hunger of your soul is the Person of the Lord Jesus Christ, throught the ministry of the blessed Holy Spirit.

God's Mercy

1 Peter 4:8 "Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins."

If it is true that human love covers a multitude of sins, how much more true is it of the divine love of God the Father? Knowing My deep love for you, your own heart will no longer condemn you. My mercies are everlasting, my kindness abundant.

My grace extends to the least of My children, and My tenderness shall make you strong. I go before you daily to prepare your way, and you will be accompanied by My goodness and My mercy.

Heart Purity

I will be reprinting Frances Roberts brief devotional thoughts here that I have found so helpful on my journey the past 6 months or so. I hope you find them a blessing! It is from his daily journal entitled "Come Away My Beloved"

1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

It is not in grieving over your sin that they are forgiven. My forgiveness is in constant operation and you need only to accept it. The cleansing of your heart and the restoration of your joy depends upon your full confession and willingness to repent and to renounce your sin. Excercise your soul toward the achievement of heart-purity. Until this work is acomplished (and maintained), you will not have inner peace.

Seek my face in repentance until you have yielded to Me all that distresses you.
