Conversational Prayer-Sonnets and Scriptures
January 14 ~
He who descended is Himself also He who ascended far above all the heavens, that He might fill all things ... I kneel before the Father ... and beg Him to grant you ... to be mightily strengthened by His Spirit in your inmost being, and that Christ in His love, through your faith, may make His permanent home in your hearts ... so that you may be filled with the perfect fullness of God ...Thee Only
A void Thou've placed within the soul of man!
It yields, according to Thy wondrous plan,
a vortex aching to be soothed and stilled --
a hollowness that cries out to be filled
but Thou alone can fill it! 'Tis for Thee!
Man seeks to fill the void in -
constantly -
but knows not it is Thee, O Lord, he needs
nor consul to that end hears he (nor heeds)
but endless seeks fulfillment in his Self
not grasping that there is a Person else
Whose gentle, loving Spirit waits within
Who can -
and would! -
the void fill fully in!
By grace, I pray, bring Thou his faith awake
so of Thee true infilling he can take!

For by grace are ye saved through faith ... And now, little children, abide in Him ... Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates? ... be filled with the Spirit ... looking unto Jesus ... the Lord is that Spirit ... Amen! Come, Lord Jesus!
