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

romanced by Him...

The current study with sisters introduces a beautiful... but challenging... thought...
Every song you love, every memory you cherish, every moment that has moved you to holy tears has been given to you from the One who has been pursuing you from your first breath in order to win your heart. God's version of flowers and chocolates and candlelight dinners comes in the form of sunsets and falling stars, moonlight on lakes and cricket symphonies; warm wind, swaying trees, lush gardens, and fierce devotion.
---John & Stasi Eldredge, Captivating
God is a the Great Romantic... and He is pursuing you... and me... with a passionate love...
What is it that God wants from you?
He wants the same thing that you want. He wants to be loved. He wants to be known as only lovers can know each other. He wants intimacy with you. Yes, Yes, he wants your obedience, but only when it flows out of a heart filled with love for him. ...
You. You are meant to fill a place in the heart of God no one and nothing else can fill. Whoa. He longs for you.
 ---John & Stasi Eldredge, Captivating
This thought it challenges... How can God have a place in His heart for me...? He doesn't need me to be fulfilled...?!

But the Scripture... His Word... it says...

Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes. God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure.
Ephesians 1:4-5 NLT

God carved out a place in His heart for us... even before He created the world...

He made the world... the universe... in response to His love for us... even before we were...

Quite a thought...

The sisters in study... we have been sharing the ways He has romanced our hearts... through creation... and gifts... help... and a new name...

So the thought today... How can we romance Him...?

How would you romance the One who made you...?

Think about how to run after Him... and do it...

I believe as you run after Him... you'll run right into Him... running after you...

Dear Lord... show me how to romance You...
