Eat The Word

Turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am lonely and afflicted. The troubles of my heart are enlarged;bring me out of my distresses. Consider my affliction and my trouble, and forgive all my sins.

He is so faithful to come to us. Be with us. Make the Union he wants with us. He demands a covenant with us, and then he makes the promise for himself and for us. He stakes his life and loses, for us, for me. Matthew Smith. He forfeits life for me. Waging a war of submission. Three eternal days, he submits to total division from God to bring us total Union with God. It is finished.

Father, as Jesus asked, and promised in the word, bring us to be with you, with him where he is. Bring us near, draw us into you, into him, and into one another — one body together as we are one with you. Amen.
