1 JOHN 4.7
Beloved, may we love one another, because love is of God, and everyone loving has been begotten of God, and knows God;
=====
MATTHEW 11.28-30
Come to Me, all you laboring and burdened ones, and I will give you rest; take up My yoke on you, and learn from Me, because I am meek and humble in heart, and you will find rest to your souls, for My yoke [is] easy, and My burden is light.”
=====
MATTHEW 7.9-11
Or what man is of you, of whom, if his son may ask [for] a loaf—a stone will he present to him? And if he may ask [for] a fish—a serpent will he present to him? If, therefore, you being evil, have known to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who [is] in the heavens give good things to those asking Him?
=====
MATTHEW 13.31-32
Another allegory He set before them, saying, “The kingdom of the heavens is like to a grain of mustard, which a man having taken, sowed in his field, which less, indeed, is than all the seeds, but when it may be grown, is greatest of the herbs, and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the sky come and rest in its branches.”
God’s Own Rest
God’s Own Rest! found of them who thus Come to Jesus to Abide in Him.
It is the Peace of God, the Great Calm of the Eternal World, that Passeth all understanding, and that Keeps the heart and mind.
With This Grace Secured, we have Strength for Every Duty, Courage for Every Struggle, a Blessing in Every Cross, and the Joy of Life Eternal in Death Itself.
Meekness
Meekness means flexibility.
He who is Meek is able to declare that only what God Wants him to have will he have.
Whether to possess a thing or not to possess it matters not at all, provided the decision is the Lord’s.
Having it in the Will of God, he can Thankfully Sing Hallelujah;
Yet not having it in the Will of God, he can do just the same.
Praying At All Times
EPHESIANS 6.18
through all prayer and supplication praying at all times in the Spirit, and in this, watching in all perseverance and supplication for all the holy ones
Willing Obedience
The truth or falsity of our Consecration and Service depends on our Willing Obedience to the Lord – both to His Command and to His Reproach.
By the Renewing of Your Mind
ROMANS 12.2
and do not be conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, for your proving what [is] the will of God—the good, and acceptable, and perfect.
