Miscellanies 106: Jesus is my best thought

Jesus is my best thought by day and by night and always will be. O sweet Jesus, you will never depart from my heart, for you are the darling of my soul. Forever will I search your wonders. Your eyes like flames, unblemished in your character, tender in your patience towards me. O may I forever give you my attention and lovingly sit by your side. You wooed me with your grace, you showed me your unending beauty, and thus I bend my knees in adoration and in tears, that such a lovely being should love me, the worst of all sinners. O may I press on, may I eternally press on to behold you!

Come and see the wonder of all the ages. Come and gaze upon him who is irrefutably enthralling. O deny not your eyes the greatest vision in existence. Come and see Jesus Christ, the eternal darling of the Father. Hurry men and angels, you are invited to behold his glory. Usher him quickly into your heart, and see how rapidly your heart will be enveloped with joy, and your being ennobled. O delay no further, forsake whatever you think is sweet and ravishing, and put on Christ. There will be no comparison. His greatness is eternally great!

One day

One day I'll be old and frail

And in that day

I hope the world is kind.

There is a place for me

There is a place for me 
A place unbroken, 
Unbounded by my own reserve.

What have I done with your amazing grace?

I have wasted my days and nights in frivolity, in play, in indulging my fleshly appetites. I ought to have been busy in prayer in cultivating the fruits of the Spirit. I should have indulged in the scriptures, in the psalms and joined in with the melody of angels and saints above. Instead, I have been found wanting in righteousness. O, good, God! What have I done with your amazing grace? Is there still grace for me!

Jesus Christ is the treasure of my heart

  I am now going to live in such a way that shows that Jesus Christ is the treasure of my heart, that is that he is going to be the thing that I enjoy most in this world, for in the next world, yea, in the hereafter, he is my eternal portion, yea the whole Godhead. So, as I live from now, I am going to be an awesome spectacle for the angels, demons, and men that I am one who is truly sold out for Christ and his glory. I am not living to do my bid but his bidding. I have lived thus far a life that can be counted as dung for I have lived for myself and a little for Christ. But now I will cloth myself in righteousness and go about doing everything for his glory. This is indeed a lofty task, an ambition set up to fail and indeed so, but I am entirely dependent on the Power of the Holy Spirit and the daily mercies of my heavenly Father to see me through. I am secured in Christ, I am secured in his love. I just hate that I give myself to unrighteousness rather than righteousness. This is to be no more. And may you use me my good master in whatever way you please.


K.Oni

Let me see his beauty and more

Let me see his beauty and more,
As I do my duty until I reach the shore
Of everlasting, of the never-ending days
Of glory, wrapped in eternal love.
O my King, the faithful One,
Comfort me with your words of love,
I weep for the days I have grieved thee
I thank you for forgiving me.
May I rest in your love and more
And I'll carry my cross until I reach your shores.

Thank you God for saving me. Thank you for loving me with an everlasting love. My soul rejoices at your warmth. I know that you will never forsake me. You are my rock of ages, the One whom I depend on. You are my defender, you are my love. May I live a life worthy of the life in which you have called me. I am nothing, but out of nothing, you create beautiful things. I am yours and you are mine. May I live each day in sweet fellowship, always feeling the joy of my salvation and the radiance of your love.
