Abide in Me Forever

I sat down to read John 15 yesterday. I have lots of favorite passages of scripture and this is definitely one of them. After reading, I went about my day, but continued to dwell on what I had just read and the Holy Spirit literally overwhelmed my heart and mind with these words I am sharing with you today. It was as if the Holy Spirit was sharing with me the kind, loving whispers of Jesus. I know when these moments occur, it’s undeniable that God is speaking! I pray that as you read, it will bless you!

“Sweet child of mine, come stay, abide, and rest in me. Here in my presence you will find all you will ever need.

I have made an impossible way to lead you home, and to forever atone for that sin stood in the way. That iniquity that first was made, caused my Father to depart and go a separate way. Yet, grace and mercy continued to pour out from the heart of the Father, and He sent Me in your place.

Yes, I have made an impossible way to lead you home, and in my Father’s house there is a place waiting and ready just for you. I must forewarn, that the path that I will take you down is one least taken, but with this path comes an everlasting light and life. This light will show you the way in which to go, always revealing where every footstep should be placed, and will lead you to your forever home.

Abide in me a while. Let me grow a beauty I desire to place and produce within you. What is dry and has already perished in your life, I will at once remove, for it is only serving to block your view. And if what’s dead should remain, it would only be standing in the way of the many things I desire to do and bloom within you.

So sweet child of mine, come abide in me forever! Come stay and find an everlasting rest, and in my continued presence, you will always find all you will ever need.

Come, come sweet child and abide in me forever!”
