You in me and I in You

John 14:20 In that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you.

At least, I dreamed, and there were beads of water going along some string, and Violet said, “How many do you need before you’re done?” and I said, “These are yours, first,” and she said, “How many do you need?” and I said, “You know. You completely know,” and she said, “That’s why I want to hear it from your mouth.”

Gen 17:1 …Jehovah appeared to Abram and said to him, I am the All-sufficient God; Walk before Me, and be perfect.

“We need to learn the meaning of the title of God in 17:1, the all-sufficient God. In Hebrew this title is El-Shaddai. El means the Strong One, the Mighty One, and Shaddai, implying the meaning of breast, udder, means all-sufficient. El-Shaddai is the Mighty One with an udder, the Mighty One who has the all-sufficient supply. An udder produces milk, and the milk is the all-sufficient supply, having water, minerals, and many vitamins in it and containing all that we need for our daily living. So El-Shaddai means the all-sufficient Mighty One.

Practically speaking, to be perfect means that we do not rely upon the strength of the flesh [i.e., self] but trust in the all-sufficient Mighty One for our life and work. We must always trust in God’s all-sufficiency for everything.”

Ben Jonson (1573-1637)

TO CELIA

Drink to me only with thine eyes,

  And I will pledge with mine;

Or leave a kiss but in the cup

  And I’ll not look for wine.

  We are the church - Ekklesia

Called out from the world, separated unto God.

  We are the bride, His counterpart.

He attracted us, now we love nothing else.

  We are a poem, God’s masterpiece

An expression of Him, a testimony of His love.

  We are one Body, one entity.

Connected to the Head to receive all that He is.

  We are the Lord’s recovery;

Philadelphia; holding fast in purity.

O Lord, keep us in Your Word, sanctify us.

Lord Jesus build up Your church.

Lord I love You, I am seeking after You

1) Lord I love You, I am seeking after You
Your love captured me from the world which I loved
Forgive me Lord, for trusting my ability
Blind and crippled, heart impure, Lord, transform me!

Chorus: I love You Lord, You have captivated me
Your love subdues me, I have seen Your beauty
Draw me, charm me, attract me, capture me more!
I cannot but love You; I submit to You

2) Lord, transform me from a horse to a lily
I would be trusting and dependent on You
Your divine attributes are like a string of jewels
You have given to me as my adornment

3) By Your mercy, crippled feet lie forgotten
Beneath the table: Your transformation feast
Unsearchable; these riches that I now enjoy
I’ll love You Lord with my all forevermore

“We are not where we are now because of our ability (or inability) to love the Lord. It is just His mercy to reveal Himself to us. (Not an excuse for laziness; He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him! – Heb. 11:6.) Without seeing His beauty, we will not love Him. Rather we will love the world. This seeing is on the one hand a once-for-all life-changing experience, such as what I was experiencing at the time when I wrote this song. But on the other hand, we Christians experience this on an ongoing, daily basis; when our view of the Lord grows dim, we start loving other things. Lord, draw me! Charm me! Attract me! Capture me more!”
