I will Come Again and Take you to Myself, that Where I Am There ye may be Also.
This Promise is as Precious to Christ as it ever can be to us.
The Joy of Meeting is Surely no less for the Coming Bridegroom than for the Waiting Bride.
The Life of Christ in Glory is one of Longing Expectation.
The Full Glory Only Comes When His Beloved are with Him.
You may not suppose that I came to put peace on the earth; I did not come to put peace, but a sword; for I came to set a man at variance against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law, and the enemies of a man are those of his household. He who is cherishing father or mother above Me, is not worthy of Me, and he who is cherishing son or daughter above Me, is not worthy of Me, and whoever does not receive his cross and follow after Me, is not worthy of Me. He who found his life will lose it, and he who lost his life for My sake will find it.

But you, when you may pray, go into your chamber, and having shut your door, pray to your Father who [is] in secret, and your Father who is seeing in secret will reward you.

He who is cherishing father or mother above Me, is not worthy of Me, and he who is cherishing son or daughter above Me, is not worthy of Me,
May we See that we only need to Come with our Emptiness to Him who has All To Give – and Delights To Give.
Let our one thought be not what we have to bring the Father but what the Father Waits To Give us.
Seated On His Throne, He Dispenses His Gifts, Bestows His Spirit, and Never Ceases in Love to Watch and to Work for those who are His.
Hold Fast the Beginning of our Confidence Firm to the End.
His Ways are Straightforward.
Prayer is an act of the Believer Working Together with God.
Prayer is the Union of the Believer’s thought with the Will of God.
The Prayer which a Believer Utters on earth is but the Voicing of the Lord’s Will in Heaven.
Prayer is NOT the expressing of our wish for God to yield to our petition and fill up our selfish desire.
Our head needs to be Delivered so that we will no longer be directed by fleshly thought but be Guided by Spiritual Will instead.
