Dwelling Among Us

 

All whose hearts
are willing

who are moved
to give

will be My
sanctuaries

where I choose
to live.

**********

I give my heart willingly, for You are with me.

**********

“From everyone who gives it willingly with his heart you shall take My offering.”

“And let them make Me a sanctuary, that I may dwell among them.”

Exodus 25:2,8. NKJV

Willing

 

I know You
will help me
do all You ask
me to

for You love me
and desire
my willing walk
with You.

You establish my willing obedience.

“So I spoke to the people in the morning, and at evening my wife died; and the next morning I did as I was commanded.” Ezekiel 24:18 NKJV

I Am Willing

 

I am willing
I am able

to reach out with
word and hand

to bring healing
to your body

and deliverance
to your land.

You establish healing in my life.

“And behold, a leper came and worshiped Him, saying, ‘Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.’ Then Jesus put out His hand and touched him, saying, ‘I am willing; be cleansed.’ Immediately his leprosy was cleansed.” Matthew 8:2,3 NKJV

As White As Snow

 

Come now and let us
reason together
so you learn to do good
and plead for the widow

though your sins are like scarlet
I will forgive you
and they shall be made
just as white as the snow.

Jesus establishes willingness.

“Learn to do good; seek justice, reprove the oppressor; defend the fatherless, plead for the widow. “Come now, and let us reason together”, says the LORD, “though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool.” If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land . . .” Isaiah 1:17,18,19 NKJV

Let It Be

 

Here I am
willing
waiting
expectantly

as the truth
of Your word
comes alive
in me.

A laid down life is filled with the Word.

“Then Mary said, ‘Behold the maidservant of the Lord! Let it be to me according to your word.’ And the angel departed from her.” Luke 1:38 NKJV

A Cup

“For in the hand of the Lord there is a cup,
And the wine is red;
It is fully mixed, and He pours it out . . .”  Psalms 73:8

I keep thinking of Jesus asking His Father to please take this cup from Him.
(saying, “Father, if it is Your will, take this cup away from Me; nevertheless not My will, but Yours, be done.” Luke 22:42)

Lord, may each of us be willing to take the cup You hand to us.  And here’s a simple poem . . .

Willingly

Just as You
took the cup

of Your Father’s
will for You

may each of us
be willing

to do what
You ask us to.
