Would You Squeeze Through A Wide-Open Door!?!
Would You Only Eat One Grape A Day
When You Have Unrestricted Access
To A Flourishing, Abundantly Productive, Vineyard!?!
Would You Drink From A Sippy-Cup
When You Live Next To A Spring Of Sweet, Ice-Cold, Water!?!
If You Answer
"No, Not A Chance!"
Then Why In The Name Of All That
Is
Holy, Just, And Good
Are You, Me, We Visiting With The Lord Christ
Only When We Are In Dire Straits
And
Not Doing So As A Habit, A Practice, A Way Of Life!?!
Jesus Christ Spreads A Table Before Us!
Jesus Christ Is The Creator God
The King Of Love
The Good Shepherd
The King Of The Universe
And
Any Table That He Spreads Before Us
And
In The Presence Of Our Enemies
Is
Going To Be Beautifully Appointed
Infinitely Long
And
Abundantly Laid
So That We May Feast Now
And
Eternally!
PRAYER:
Dear Lord,
We Have A Problem!
We Are Looking Through Finite Eyes
With Fraught Feelings
At The Table Spread By The Infinite God!
Please Help Us To Look Up Higher
See Clearer
Smell Deeper
And
Taste The Unimaginably Good, Good
Very Good Things That
Come From Your Giving Heart And Hands!
Please Cleanse, Refine
And
Re-Educate Our Taste-Buds
So That We Will Ever Choose
With Knowledge, Wisdom, And Understanding
To Eat And Drink Deeply Of
Your Goodness Always!
AMEN!!!
