He Is Calling Us
Song of Solomon 2
14 Come, my shy and modest dove - leave your seclusion, come out in the open. Let me see your face, let me hear your voice. For your voice is soothing and your face is ravishing. 15 Then you must protect me from the foxes, foxes on the prowl, Foxes who would like nothing better than to get into our flowering garden. 16 My lover is mine, and I am his. Nightly he strolls in our garden, Delighting in the flowers 17 until dawn breathes its light and night slips away. Turn to me, dear lover. Come like a gazelle. Leap like a wild stag on delectable mountains!
_____The Message
Ephesians 2
But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, 5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) 6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: 7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. 10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. ____KJV
Psalm 103
17 But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children; 18 To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them. ____KJV
How could I possible not go here often? What a incredibly beautiful description of the desire and passion and drawing to each other, our souls with the Lord. He calls us from His throne to be with Him in heavenly places. Look at what He desires for us in His incomprehensible grace. We are so unworthy to even speak His name, even speak His name! Or to come before Him and seek His face or search for Him that He would answer. His mercy is everlasting to everlasting and His righteousness is 'unto children's children' - that is all generations for those that keep His commandments. What an awesome place to love and live and abide in His love and awesome presence. What a communion!
