The Lord says: “Dig Deeper into ME!”
Crying for Jerusalem…
“Love one another, as I have loved you!”

 

The Lord says: “Dig Deeper into ME!”

Oh, you who have known the Lord in an even more intimate way, but somehow have let the cares of this world push your love down and your heart has become a little hardened over the years…

The Lord says…

“Dig deeper into Me because my heart is still in you and I want to you to press past the dirt that has tried to cover it and make it cold….

My heart wants to come forth in this season but you must find it again!

I know you remember the first love, How can you not?

I remember the burning in your heart and how you heard my words of love to you and to those around you….

Find me again for I have not left..

I am here to set your hearts on fire to burn for Me and for a lost and dying world and for your family again..

I know that hopelessness has tried to set in but dig deeper, knock louder, seek further, just a little bit further for I am here and you will feel My burning love once again…..”

“Like an apple tree among the trees of the forest is my beloved among the young men.I delight to sit in his shade,and his fruit is sweet to my taste. Let him lead me to the banquet hall, and let his banner over me be love” Song Of Solomon 2:3-4 NIV.

Crying for Jerusalem…

“Truly I declare to you, all these [evil, calamitous times] will come upon this generation. O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, murdering the prophets and stoning those who are sent to you! How often would I have gathered your children together as a mother fowl gathers her brood under her wings, and you refused!
Behold, your house is forsaken and desolate (abandoned and left destitute of God’s help). For I declare to you, you will not see Me again until you say, Blessed (magnified in worship, adored, and exalted) is He Who comes in the name of the Lord!” Matthew 23:36-39 AMP.

I don’t know about you, but when I read this passage, I can hear the Lord’s heart breaking and I see Him weeping over Jerusalem and then I see Him weeping over all that will not come into the loving arms of a merciful Savior that is wanting to gather them under the shadow of His wings but they have free will to go their way….

He knows what is best for us but how many times do we run away from His love and forgiveness instead of running to Him the God of all comfort and mercy.

His steadfast love never ceases and His mercy is new every Morning. No matter what you’ve done or how far you’ve strayed.

“Love one another, as I have loved you!”

All along my path in life I have found that there is one thing that all people need to survive and that is to know that they are loved and to have at least one person that receives their Love….

Jesus Loves you so much and He loves to be loved by you, but people also need to have the God in you with skin on..

Let’s give that to Him, and receive it from Him… Then let’s love one another like He loves us…..!!!
