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

greater love...

"... Greater love has no one than this,
that someone lay down his life for his friends. ..." ---Jesus
John 15:13 ESV

Greater love...
I'm so far from this love...
highlighted on these days of expectation...
like Valentine's Day...

Greater love...
Not think about what I want...
lay down... to begin with... expectation...

Lay down my life...
Put aside my desire...
let others choose...
consider them better than me...

Lay down my life...
Convicted recently...
of taking the best for me...

My love...
still needs translating...
into something... greater...

My love...
still learning... to hold a word... that could wound...
receive what's given with grace...

But what I have found... in recent months...
a shift...
a result of His healing...

Learning to rely on His love...
for me...
recognizing Him... as all I need...

Trusting in... relying on... believing in...
His greatest love...
for me...

So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him. By this is love perfected with us...
1 John 4:16-17 ESV

Do you know... believe... God's love for you...?

Allow Him to begin... healing in you... 
translating your love... 
into something greater...
