Reveal the Heavenly Mysteries

The Spirit Who is in you is prepared to:
(1) teach you
(2) to lead you to the cross
(3) and to make you know something of what the crucified Christ wills to do for you and in you.

He wants you to spend time with Him, so that He may reveal the Heavenly mysteries to you. He will teach you what is meant by:

(4) the denial of self
(5) taking up your cross
(6) losing your life
(7) and following (knowing) Him.
-- Andrew Murray

Lord, please reveal your Heavenly mysteries to me and through me.

Because God's Presence is With Us...

(12) Dear friends, don’t be surprised by the fiery troubles that are coming in order to test you. Don’t feel as though something strange is happening to you, (13) but be happy as you share Christ’s sufferings. Then you will also be full of joy when He appears again in his glory. (14) If you are insulted because of the name of Christ, you are blessed because the Spirit of glory—the Spirit of God—is resting on you.
-- 1 Peter 4:12-14 (GWT)

Because God's presence is with us and in us,
Hope and peace, joy and love, are here where we are.
God did not carelessly wind the world up and walk away.
He is intimately involved in every detail of our daily lives.

Our courageous choice to trust God totally will be rewarded.
The sufferings we now face are not cruel temptations to confuse us,
But tender invitations for us to Know God more and more,
So when we all get to Heaven we will not be strangers to Him.
