Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity

Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me. Revelations 3:20

Come in, Dear Jesus. I open the door. I’ve been lonesome, but didn’t know it was for you. Thank you for knocking. Thank you for seeking me. Make me new. Wash away my sins. I repent of the mess I’ve made of my life. Change old habits of thinking, mistakes and patterns of selfishness. Come to me, Lord Jesus. I welcome you.

Come in. I receive you, Jesus in your Body and Blood. I taste you. I swallow you. I incorporate you into every cell of my being. Sweet Holy Spirit, my body absorbs you. The dead, empty spaces are filled with your light. My desiccated cells absorb your living water. The life of your presence restores life in me. Change me. I receive you.

Fill me with your love. I receive it. I permit you to flush away hatred and bitterness, I allow you to heal the broken parts of my life. You offer yourself freely, and I take you in. Your love is sweet on my lips, life-giving on my tongue. Dear Lord, I receive you.

Send courage, Lord, that stoutness of heart and focus that comes only from you. In me I find weakness and cowardice, fear of the future, and dread of what might happen. I ask for your courage, and receive it into my life. I choose to follow you, and allow you to fight my battles. I hide within your wounds and take courage in your strength. I receive your courage, Dear Lord. I take you in.

Bless me with faith to move mountains, and to remove the mountain of doubt within me. I ask for the grain of faith no bigger than a mustard seed. Plant it within me and let it grow into a mighty tree that withstands every test. Give me strength to provide shelter and shade for others. I receive this gift of faith. I allow you to plant it within my heart.

I need hope. Father, send your gift of hope to my spirit. In the face of troubles and circumstances, the hope within me has withered. The light in my heart has grown dim. Stoke the flame and let hope rise up in my being. Give me hope to believe your promises. Grant me the hope and faith needed to receive from your hand.

Although I am unworthy, I receive you into my life. I lay all that I am at your feet and ask you to recycle it into something better. Come in. Come in. I’m so glad to receive you. Thank you for knocking. Thank you for coming to me.

My child, as I come into your life, I do not come empty handed. I carry the gifts and fruits of my spirit. I long to bless you, and long to fill you will all things good. I dreamed a wonderful dream for your life. Dream with me as we journey together. Jesus
