Hidden Manna, White Stones, & New Names
Revelation 2:17 "He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give some of the hidden manna to eat. And I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written which no one knows except him who receives it."'
To those who have been resurrected, saved, cleansed, redeemed:
Grace to you, and overflowing peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ, Who lives, was dead, and now lives forevermore.
Today is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice! His goodness is displayed, revealing Love. My heart is burdened for you, the hurting child of God. Why do you let the past ravage you so? It is gone, discarded by your Savior. When you ask forgiveness, it is given. You are set free by God; why do you insist on creating a private cell? It is like being welcomed into a beautiful banquet, but choosing to close your eyes and face the corner. Why do you not desire the things of God? Why do you run from the Lover of your soul? He will not forget you. He will not reject you. Come back to Him, child of God. Do not fear the gentle Love that has sought you from the day you were born. He waits for your return, just as you wait for a hiding place. Why do you fear letting Him take your whole self? He has given everything for you. The cry, "It is finished," is spoken for you. Jesus finished it. There is no more punishment for the child of God. Do not punish yourself. God forgives you; why do you not forgive yourself? The Father in heaven offers His mercy to you; He offers His strength to you. It takes courage to let go, but HE provides that courage. Don't wait one more minute. Find your knees and kneel before Him whose birth the angels sing! Jesus loves you. Jesus, - Author and Finisher, First and Last, Alpha and Omega, Friend and Counselor, Lion and Lamb, Creator of Life and Destroyer of Death, Just and Merciful, Forgiving and Faithful, Promise Maker and Promise Keeper - this Jesus, loves - acts His love, speaks His love, displays His love, offers His love - You - poor and lowly, weak and hopeless, directionless and impatient, discontent and suffering. Find His presence as your fulfillment! He will give you hidden manna, sustaining your soul. He will give you a white stone, representing the eternal righteousness you now have, because you trust in the Rock. He will give you a new name, whispering this precious secret of perfect love. Kneel down and leave fear behind. Overcome by the Blood of the Lamb.
That's all I have for today. Read Revelation 1 & 2 for inspiration.
