Jesus Calling

     Rev. 22:12-17   "Behold I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End. "Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city... I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star." The Spirit and the bride say, "Come!" And let him who hears say, "Come!" Whoever is thrsty, let him come; and whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of the water of life.
     
    I am thirsty, I am thirsty for you. My thoughts are all in a tangled mess. I am thirsty for your presence in my life - in my moments, my hours, my days. The world is too much with me. Thank you for your invitation even in the last chapter of your Word, the end of the age. 
            I am so prone to wander.
     
    I am your wayward child. Forgive me for chasing whatever catches my fancy. All those philosophies and ideas that sound so exciting but ignore you - your grace and truth. 
    You are the First and the Last ~ the bright Morning Star. There you are, standing with your arms open. Welcoming, bidding me to come and drink of the free gift of the water of life.
