And she had a sister called Mary,
which also sat at Jesus' feet,
and heard his word. Luke 10.39

As she sat before him
his words washed over her like a gentle rain

like dew on the morning grass

Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak;
and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth.
My doctrine shall drop as the rain,
my speech shall distil as the dew,
as the small rain upon the tender herb,
and as the showers upon the grass. Deuteronoomy 32.1,2

Her heart became enraptured by the glory of his countenance

One thing have I desired that will I seek after
that i might dwell in the house of the Lord
all the days of my life to behold the beauty of the Lord
and to enquire in his temple. Psalm 27.4

Her eyes are fixed upon him drinking in of his essence

I said,"Behold me..." Isaiah 65.1

As she sat there a peace came over her
and a rest as she ceased
from her own activities and thoughts
while her sister busily and worriedly
moved about the room

For he that is entered into his rest,
he also hath ceased from his own works,
as God did from his. Hebrews 4.10

AS his words entered into her
she felt a uniting of her heart
towards one purpose and one desire
like she had never known before

And I will give them one heart, and one way,
that they may fear me for ever,
for the good of them... Jeremiah 32.39

Her heart swellling with love in his prescence
you could even sense something special
going on in the room

While the king sitteth at his table,
my spikenard sendeth forth the smell thereof.
Song of Songs 1.12

It followed that she said within herself
that this shepherd
she would follow all of her days

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
all the days of my life:
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
Psalm 23.6

The blameless son of God
rejected
spat upon
lied about
brutalized

He who helped and healed so many

Its all kind of hard to take in
this bloodied one upon a cross

not cursing...... but praying
saying Father forgive them
they know not what they do

Its all just a little bit out of reach until....

you--- full of the same spirit
and of the same love
reaching out to help and to heal
and share the same truth and then...

it happens…
they do the same thing to you

"Remember the word that I said unto you, …
If they have persecuted me,
they will also persecute you…" John 15:20 KJV

Go to the ant O seeker
and find words that prophets sing

Look to the heavens and hear the unmistakable whisperings
and the residue of the song the angels sang at the beginning
And amidst the breathings of nature all around

Yea, go to the tree and find fruit and words abundant
so much so that they would fill volumes upon volumes
And stacks upon stacks
books without end

Even so with all things which thou canst see and know
There be words abundant
even with melody

And who has the power with such as these?
Who has skill with the same
amongst all the creatures that God has created?
Only thee. O man. Only thee.

For many years I received of heavens wondrous attention
like the love of a Father to his son
I recuperated in comforts from above
as through the salutary effects of the love of a Savior

“Give ear O heavens!!!

I poured over the writings awash with oils,
hungry for more,
only to be baffled by the concept of ministry to the Lord

One who daily needed such heavenly ministrations
How can I be expected to minister unto Him?
And now having experienced conversion-
that long process that tore me out of myself alive
I can’t imagine not-
that ministry should flow from my heart to His
as thanksgiving and praise rise from within
like rivers of an inexhaustible wellspring of the deep

And when I find language insufficient
those who are best suited to know
from ageless ministry before so great majesty
yea, angels of glory and great power
share their tongue with me
and through me
to Him who alone is worthy of all praise
for ever and ever world without end

How shall I retreat to the shallows and narrows
when this, to dim eyes so strait,
is place so large and rich beyond imaginings

Thankyou Lord for garments of Prisethood
and of Praise
In which I now bring to you my offering
and my ministry unto you

And of his fullness have we all received...John 1.16

To have fullness
where once there was painful emptiness
creates the perfect environment for heartsongs.

...singing and making melody with your hearts to the Lord.
Giving thanks always.... Ephesisans 5.19,20

Instead of a cry of hunger , a song of praise.
Instead of a moan of pain, a melody of rejoicing.
Aaahh, this is good. O! God is good!!!

He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said,
out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. John 7.38

There is a flow of fullness from within unto God.
Instead of a sucking vacuum as a foundation
of need and lust and a whoring heart-
we find an everlasting flow of grace and mercy
like a river of living waters.

There is a river, the streams whereof
shall make glad the city of God,
the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High.
Psalm 46.4
