Word of Appetizer
What is the the significance of loving the Lord?
To love the Lord is to allow Him to live in us and for us and is to realize that He desires a dwelling place so that He can be expressed.
To love the Lord is to be stopped from our doing and is to let Him take full possession of our being. The best way to express our love toward the Lord is to say, “Lord Jesus, I open to You. Take full possession of me. Lord, I love You. I present myself to You. I am open to You. Possess me more and more until You reach every part of my being and make Your home in me.”
Spiritual Burden
In the Lord’s recovery we need to love our Lord Jesus Christ in all the divine, spiritual, heavenly, and incorruptible things revealed in Ephesians concerning the Triune God, the divine life, what Christ is to us, what He has done, and the church.
The more we love the Lord in incorruptibility, the more we, as children of God, will walk in love and light.
