Come Away, My Beloved - by Frances Roberts

So this has become my new devotional - started because Emily was getting married and Shavuot (Pentecost) reminds us of our marriage covenant with God,

Here's what last night said - so very powerful that I was thinking about it again this morning, so simple that I don't know why it grabbed me. . .

"Only as you WALK will the waters of adversity be parted before you. Overburdened as the world is with trouble and sickness, I need those who have proved My sufficiency in everyday, personal experience to lead the suffering to the fountains of life. I need those who have found Me as burden-bearer to help bring deliverance to the oppressed.

Never begrudge time given to chronic complainers, but recognize in each encounter the opportunity to speak a word that may lead to their liberation. No case is too hard for Me. Never be taken by surprise when I use you to change a pattern. Do not judge a man by what he appears to be, but see him as what he can be if he gives himself unreservedly to Me."

wow. Matthew 9:29 - "According to your faith, let it be to you."
