Develope a Palate

Develope a Palate
Daily intake of the Word nourishes the Spirit. Jeremiah's Menu is an exercise in recognizing God's Word made flesh in and around me. Eating the Word in a way that supplies the spiritual nutrients needed to grow. The Menu is offered with the hope of inspiring you to taste and see that the Lord is good. Bon Appetite!

Quote Du Jour

Quote du Jour
Christians may differ on a variety of points, but they have all one spiritual appetite; and if we cannot all feel alike, we can all feed alike on the bread of life sent down from heaven. At the table of fellowship with Jesus we are one bread and one cup. As the loving cup goes round we pledge one another heartily therein. Get nearer to Jesus, and you will find yourself linked more and more in spirit to all who are like yourself, supported by the same heavenly manna. ---Charles Spurgeon, Morning and Evening

labor pains...

...my little children, for whom I am again in the anguish of childbirth until Christ is formed in you!
Galatians 4:19
ESV
(my emphasis)

Christ formed... in you... in me... a birth process...

I experienced the pains of such labor... yesterday... yet again... an unguarded mouth... a dark... wounded... place in my heart... spewing words... without thinking... biting the one I most desire to love rightly...

The painful labor of bringing forth Christ in the heart...
recognition of sin...
acceptance of brokenness...
repentance...
seeking forgiveness...
obedience in the hard things...
freedom used to serve others... not self...

At times... a painful process...
intermittent labor pains...
the anguish of childbirth...
until Christ...
formed...
in me...
in you...
