TOTALLY ABANDON YOURSELVES TO THE SPIRIT OF GOD

{Revelation 1:17} "Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last. . . . {verse 4} "Nevertheless, I have this against you, that you left your first love. Remember therefore from where you have fallen: repent and do the first works. . . .


In this "revelation," Christ is saying to me, I was your First love and I am your Last love. I am forever with you.

NEVERTHELESS, abandon your SELF to my Will and my sovereignty.



Oh Lord, we cry out to you . . . . in our pride and search for self fulfillment - we resisted you - our Maker. We chose to not reflect when you told us "In this world you shall have distress, but have confidence in me, I have overcome the world," {John 16:33) .

REMEMBER. . . how trivial your lives have become without me. REMEMBER my sacrifice at the cross. While you were still sinning, I died for you.

Thank you for rescuing us when we abandoned ourselves to the fears of this world.

Return to me . . . . and I will return to you.



Forgive us Lord. Forgive us for choosing to forget your infinite love and goodness. Your mercy endures forever. Thank you for reminding us of your omnipotent presence and Your devotion to our wretchedness and weakness.


I return to your promise - your transformation of my soul.

Teach me again your truths in your Word. Return to me my joy of salvation. Transform us Lord to fulfil your will - for in our abandonment of self, your glory will prevail among the nations .
