The Changing Table\n\nBy grace I heard your knock\nFaith opened up the door\nThat I might sup with you\nSweet Bread of Life, come down\n\nMy heart song was a cry\nIn need of Love\u2019s refrain\nThe power to cast out fear\nAnd guide me to the Light\n\nDeliverance from the sin\nOf lukewarm, carnal, flesh\nMy heavy-laden soul\nIs lifted from the mire\n\nSweet balm of healing grace\nI\u2019m humbled by your touch\nDestroyer of the yoke\nFor all that take your rest.<\/pre>\n
\u201cHere I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.\u201d Revelation 3:20<\/h2>\n
<\/strong><\/span>My Thoughts
<\/span><\/strong>When we receive salvation, it\u2019s only the beginning of a relationship with the Father and His Son. Our Savior\u2019s promise (Revelation 3:20) to sit down and dine with us is evidence of God\u2019s desire for divine intimacy with His people. But this intimacy has a purpose: that we be transformed into His image. Because Jesus does not come in to dine with us, empty handed. He brings the blessing of deliverance, healing, and loving conviction. There\u2019s no need to fear His touch (Revelation 3:19). Just as a baby is brought to the changing table to be washed and refreshed in the natural, we, as children of the most High God are privileged to have the blessing of spiritual cleansing and restoration.<\/p>\n
