Love Letter from Christ

Are we beginning to commend ourselves again? Or do we need like some people, letters of recommendation to you or from you? You yourselves are our letter, written on our hearts, known and read by everyone. You show that you're a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.

Eleanor Agnes Lee (1841 - 1873): "A Statue in a Garden"

I was a goddess ere the marble found me.

    Wind, wind delay not!

Waft my spirit where the laurel crowned me!

    Will the wind stay not?

Then tarry, tarry, listen, little swallow!

    An old glory feeds me 

I lay upon the bosom of Apollo!

    Not a bird heeds me.

For here the days are alien. Oh, to waken

    Mine, mine, with calling!

But on my shoulders bare, like hopes forsaken,

    The dead leaves are falling.

The sky is gray and full of unshed weeping

    As dim down the garden

I wait and watch the early autumn sweeping.

   The stalks fade and harden.

The souls of all the flowers afar have rallied.

    The trees, gaunt, appalling,

Attest the gloom, and on my shoulders pallid

    The dead leaves are falling.

To the Angels, the Prophet Joel & to me

Blow the trumpet in Zion and sound an alarm in My holy mountain! The day of the LORD is here!

Then they will know that I, the LORD your GOD dwell in Zion, My holy mountain. Jerusalem will be holy and no foreigners will never ever pass through her again.

Amen ⚜️

The Holy of Holies

Psalm 40 - Book One

I waited patiently for the LORD;
He inclined to me and heard my cry.

He also brought me up out of a horrible pit,
out of the miry clay,
and set my feet upon a rock,
and established my steps.

He has put a new song in my mouth

-- Praise to our God;

many will see it and fear,

and will trust in the LORD.

Blessed is that man who makes

the LORD his trust,

and does not respect the proud, 

nor such as turn aside to lies.

Many, O LORD my God, are Your wonderful works

which You have done;

and Your thoughts toward us 

cannot be recounted to You in order;

if I would declare and speak of them,

they are more than can be numbered.

In the name of the Father ⚜️

Psalm 40 - Book Two

Sacrifice and offering You did not desire;
my ears You have opened,
burnt offering and sin offering
You did not require.

Then I said: " Behold, I come; 

in the scroll of the Book

it is written of me."

I delight to do your will, O my GOD,

and your law is within my heart."

I have proclaimed the good news

of righteousness in the great assembly;

indeed, I do not restrain my lips,

O LORD, You Yourself know.

I have not hidden Your righteousness within my heart;

I have declared Your faithfulness and Your salvation;

I have not concealed Your lovingkindness and Your truth from the great assembly.

in the name of the Son  ⚜️ 

Psalm 40 - Book Three

Do not withhold Your tender mercies from me, O LORD;
let Your lovingkindness and Your truth
continually preserve me.

For innumerable evils have surrounded me; 

my iniquities have overtaken me, 

so I'm not able to look up;

they are more than the hairs of my head; 

therefore my heart fails me.

Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me; 

O LORD, make haste to help me!

Let them be ashamed and brought

to mutual confusion

who seek to destroy my life; 

let them be driven backward 

and brought to dishonor who wish me evil.

Let them be confounded because of their shame,

who say to me, "Aha, aha!" 

Let all those who seek You rejoice

and be glad in You;

let such as love Your salvation say continually, 

"The LORD be magnified!"

But I am poor and needy; yet

the LORD thinks upon me.

You are my help and my deliverer;

do not delay, O my GOD.

and the Holy Spirit. Amen! ⚜️

Faith & Mountains

Jesus says today: Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to these mountains, ' Move from here to there ' and they will move.

Nothing is impossible for you.

Saint Matthew 17:20

Dante

No longer hindered remain below

Francis Thompson

All which I took from thee

I did but take not for thy harms

but just that thou might'st seek it 

in My arms.

From Thompson's poem "The Hound of Heaven"
