Within Me Still

“On that day you will realize that I am in My Father, and you are in Me…and I am in you.” John14:20

Blessed am I, that You would turn Your eyes to me. Though my presence will fade like the evening shadow, You desire to put Your Spirit within me still.

Though my body will become like chaff in the wind, Your desire is to reside in me! What King would leave His Kingdom, warm and secure beside His bedroom chambers fire, to go out into the cold winter’s forest, to search for an ant who has lost its way?

Only You my King, would leave behind all of Heaven to search for me in the darkness, and pick me up and hide me within the warm breast of your armor. As Your Heavenly Army watches in wonder, Your return from the forest of Hell, they whisper amongst themselves, “Where did He go?” And as You remove Your crown, sword, and breastplate, they watch in humble amazement, as You carefully reach within the cleft of Your breast to reveal a sleeping ant, and place him upon Your footstool, where Your feet had earlier laid.

Blessed am I that You would turn Your eyes to me. Though my presence will fade like the evening shadow, You desire to put Your Spirit… Within Me Still.

“The Spirit of Truth. The world cannot accept Him, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him. But you know Him, for He lives with you and will be in you.” John 14:17
