Timely Tidbits of Truth 31

Timely Tidbits of Truth 31
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow

Jesus is such a wonderful friend. He shares His heart with us, walks beside us, encourages us, believes in us, loves us, listens to us, cares about us, is praying for us, and will come again for us to bring us to His home forever.
 
Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends (John 15:13 KJV).
 
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also (John 14:3 KJV).

He's Your God

He’s Your God
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow

He’s your God in the sunshine,
He’s your God in the rain,
He’s your God in the laughter,
He’s your God in the pain.

He’s your God in the springtime,
He’s your God in the fall,
He’s your God in the silence,
He’s your God in the call.

He’s your God in the quiet,
He’s your God in the test,
He’s your God in the battle,
He’s your God in the rest.

He’s your God in the heat wave,
He’s your God in the chill,
He’s your God in the whirlwind,
He’s your God in the still.

In light time and dark time
In the valleys and peaks,
He’s the God who holds you,
He’s the God who keeps.

“I will take you by the hand and will keep you” (Isaiah 42:6 AMP).

My Morning Prayer: God’s Love for You

My Morning Prayer: God’s Love for You
-Roy Lessin and Marina Bromley

God's Love for You
-Roy Lessin

Child of God, how does He love you?

He loves you—
With an everlasting love;
With a perfect love;
With a pure love;
With a sacrificial love;
With an unfailing love;
With a steadfast love;
With a kind love;
With a forgiving love;
With an accepting love;
With an all-embracing love;
With an enduring love;
With a truthful love;
With a holy love;
With a gracious love;
With a patient love.

The Lord has appeared of old to me, saying: “Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you” (Jeremiah 31:3 NKJV).

My Morning Prayer
-Marina Bromley

My gracious Heavenly Father, good morning! You are the only source of pure and perfect love, and although You surround me with it, I forget it so easily!

When I'm feeling unlovable, You remind me that You created me on purpose and according to Your plan for my life—and not according to the worlds' standards, but Your heavenly ones. When I'm feeling my heart turn ugly, remind me of the many ways I've seen Your love at work, and help me release the ties that entangle me to the sins of this world and to claim the victory because of who You are at work in my life.

When I'm feeling alone, remind me where You are in my life. Help me to invite You into every day, every moment, every situation—to know that You are with me and for me, not for my glory but for Your kingdom's growth and glory. Let Your light shine through me and point others to You...because of Your love for me and them...and Your desire to know us and be involved intimately in our lives. Lord, I need You...WE need You! We need MORE of You, every hour we need You. In Jesus' name, amen.

Timely Tidbits of Truth 30: 5 Ways Knowledge Can Create Humility

Timely Tidbits of Truth 30: 5 Ways Knowledge Can Create Humility
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow

1. There is nothing you will learn that God hasn’t already known.

2. Whatever insight God gives to you doesn’t mean you’re the only one God has revealed it to.

3. Knowledge you receive from God is not given because of your merits, but because of His grace.

4. The more you know about one thing, the less you will know about other things.

5. Most of the people who come to you with a need want to know how much you care, more than they want to know how much knowledge you have.
 
All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because, "God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble" (1 Peter 5:5 NIV).

Lord, Speak with Power, Comfort & Clarity

Lord, Speak with Power, Comfort & Clarity
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow

Lord, no one speaks with the power of Your voice–
You said “Come forth” and the dead lived again; You said, “Rise, take up your bed and walk” and the feeble could stand to their feet; You said, “Go wash in the Pool of Siloam” and clear images flooded darkened eyes.

Lord, no one speaks with the comfort of Your voice–
It calls me as a shepherd to its lost lamb; it soothes me as a mother to her hurting child; it woos me as a bridegroom to his bride; it reassures me as a friend to his companion.
it calls me as a shepherd to its lost lamb; it soothes me as a mother to her hurting child; it woos me as a bridegroom to his bride; it reassures me as a friend to his companion.

Lord, no one speaks with the clarity of Your voice–
You speak words of light to shine upon my path; You speak words of nourishment to feed my soul; You speak words of truth to make me wise; You speak words of vitality to make me whole.

Lord, speak, for your servant hears.
You who speak love, my heart is listening;
You who speak hope, my heart is trusting,
You who speak life, my heart is receiving.
You who speak love, my heart is listening;
You who speak hope, my heart is trusting,
You who speak life, my heart is receiving.

“Never has a man spoken the way this man speaks.” John 7:46
