Jesus Calling: December 22
Come to Me, and rest in My Presence. As you ponder the majestic mystery of the Incarnation, relax in My everlasting arms. I am the only person who was ever sired by the Holy Spirit. This is beyond your understanding. Instead of trying to comprehend My Incarnation intellectually, learn from the example of the wise men. They followed the leading of a spectacular star, then fell down in humble worship when they found Me.Praise and worship are the best responses to the wonder of My Being. Sing praises to My Holy Name. Gaze at Me in silent adoration. Look for a star of guidance in your own life, and be willing to follow wherever I lead. I am the Light from on high that dawns upon you, to guide your feet into the way of Peace.

ReplyDeleteDo you have a KJV for the verses? I have the Jesus Calling Sarah Young from 2004 that you use. I just prefer KJV
ReplyDeleteHoly Father, how can we not fall down and worship you, for the wonder of your Creation. We see the corruption all around us, a season to make money. Lord Jesus, in the stillness and quiet of the night, hear our cry - to be enfolded in your arms, and to hear your voice speak to us once more : "Peace, be still, O weary one. Rest from your self imposed labours, rest in My arms, be comforted : that is why I came."
