Heart Absorption
Luke 6:17-23 Hebrews 4:12 Luke 2:35

Jesus and His disciples came down into a plain in Judea and faced a mass of humanity gathered from the surrounding districts. This mixture of need and motive had one thing in common – their eagerness to be there.
The truth began to ring from Jesus’ lips penetrating through the maze of emotion, longing, and brokenness like a sharp, double-edged sword, alive and active with saturating life. The union of His words with each listening heart would tell a story as different as the features on their faces.
Blessed are you who are poor… pierced through the fervent air… For yours is the kingdom of heaven.
The words slowly made their way into the crowd’s effort to grasp them.
Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be satisfied... an answer offered to restless reaching hearts.
Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh... a validation of their pain and a release to express it.
Blessed are you when you are hated, excluded, insulted, rejected, because you follow Me… – A promise of great eternal joy!
Holy Spirit, I come to spend time with You, my Best Friend. I yield to Jesus’ words. Make my heart absorbent to Your pure Word. Infuse me with Your life and hope!
