Withdrawing
Sorry for not writing for a few days but really trying to seek God at the mo. Luke 9;10 "He took them with Him and they withdrew by themselves". I'm in the gospels again and I'm learning so much afresh about Jesus, His constant connection with His Father and how it was the main priority in His life. I so much want that to be my priority, WITHDRAWING WITH HIM. I was having a snigger today at how Jesus handled the religous people, He didn't give them the time of day really. This little poem was in Streams in the desert 2nd October, really blessed me.
Come with me by yourselves and rest awhile,
I know your weary of the stress and throng,
Wipe from your brow the sweat and dust of toil,
And in my quiet strength again be strong.
Come now aside from all the world holds dear,
For fellowship the world has never known,
Alone with Me and with My Father here,
With Me and with My Father, not alone.
Come, tell Me all that you have said and done,
Your victories and failures, hopes and fears,
I know how hardened hearts are wooed and won;
My choicest wreaths are always wet with tears.
Come now and rest; the journey is too great,
And you will faint beside the way and sink;
The bread of life is here for you to eat,
And here for you the wine of love to drink.
Then from fellowship with your Lord return,
And work till daylight softens into even:
Those brief hours are not lost in which you learn
More of your Master and His rest in Heaven.
