Philippians 1
Holy Ghost, please lead my hand.
Father,
Thank you for this board and for the immense family you have given me here and on the garden discord that you've led me to through Your Holy Spirit. I've been blessed so intensely through all of them so thank You so much. In fact a favored verse of one of your children has been brought up by You today. "For me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. " Brother, if you read this thank God for the Holy Spirit in you. In Jesus name amen.
Today you showed me the fullness of that verse.
With what proceeds it.
22 But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not.
23 For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better:
24 Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful for you.
25 And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all for your furtherance and joy of faith;
26 That your rejoicing may be more abundant in Jesus Christ for me by my coming to you again.
That is to say this. Father, i too would be lying if i didn't say I wish i was already with You. I am sure many of us as well. We're tired; Exhausted; naked; broken; in the labor pains; always suffering in this present state awaiting the redeemed promise of being with You one day. Romans 8:18 (all of chapter 8 in fact).
The 1st verse you gave meto memorize is always driving me forward in Your Holy Spirit
Romans 8:18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
So as you tell me.. why do we yet stay here? For to be with you is better. Then why do we still suffer this world?
And I hear Your Holy Spirit say: "For each other."
Thank you that not only did Your Son Jesus Christ's death on the cross not only gave us adoption into Your family as children; but also gave us each other as siblings.
Thank you and please bless this bread and wine as Your Son's body and blood as the new covenant made with us for the remission of sins and reneged xD Rememberance of His sacrifice. In Jesus name, amen.
Amen! this is so beautiful to picture!!!!
