Dear Reader, I’m thrilled to
share with you the following quote, which I've paraphrased slightly. I found it in the April 13th devotional in The
Listening Heart by Judy Gordon Morrow. (Note: For each devotional, she writes the
words she senses Jesus saying to her.)
Spending
time with Me is like enjoying a banquet of My love. When you set apart time to
be with Me, to feast on My love, then I will fill you up with everything you
need: My love, My joy, My peace, My hope, My patience. You will be filled with
Me and My attributes. You will see the results of this time with Me in your
daily lives. For example, peace will replace anger, hope will replace despair,
joy will replace anguish...
As I thought about
those words, I recalled these words in the chorus of the old song, Come and Dine, written by Charles B.
Widmeyer in 1906:
“Come and dine,” the Master calleth,
“Come and dine;”
You may feast at
Jesus’ table all the time;
He Who fed the
multitude, turned the water into wine,
To the hungry
calleth now, “Come and dine.”
These two writers
discovered, as countless others have, that the Bible is a veritable feast for anyone who accepts the gracious invitation to partake of it--as often as we want to!
