Reciprocation

11/30/23 THE JOY OF RECIPROCATION WITH THE LORD

2 Chronicles 16:9 For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is PERFECT toward him. In this you have done foolishly: therefore from now on you shall have wars.

I was thinking about the fact that the Hebrew word PERFECT in the above scripture has a context of friendly reciprocation. For instance in giving again, making amends, restitution, perform. Notice this as to do with our hearts and how we respond to Him by being reciprocal WITH Him. Our mutual love is a completed circle of mutually sharing with the Lord.

As I pondered this I heard Him say, My eyes are on YOU.

I also noticed scripture points out that it is possible to do what is right in Lord’s sight, but not have a perfect heart. When a believer follows the Lord, but is not fully reciprocal in either relationship or following His Word it becomes compromise.

2 Chronicles 25:2 And he did [that which was] right in the sight of the LORD, but not with a perfect heart.

WORD TO PONDER: TO WANT ME ABOVE ALL ELSE 3/17/21

Dear hearts, I understand your longings and yearnings to hear from Me. I miss you too. Your feelings are a reciprocal response to My own, for I am drawing you to Me. Yes I am always with you dear one. However fellowship is a two way reciprocal love and only in the 2 way exchange can true intimacy take place.

I did promise that if you seek Me, you will find Me. My friend, I always hear your knocking on My door and I promised it is always open to you. However the tools of knocking are not what opens My door. Your knocking only prepares your heart to receive Me and what I want to share with you. It is the longing in your heart, the deepest desires of why you come to Me, that I respond to. I hear, feel, and need your heart just as you need Mine. Do you understand this?

I give My people 3 places to dwell. In the outer court among the people, the inner court, or the holy of holies. You have the options to leave the courts behind, closing the door to their distractions and demands, and coming into your secret place with Me. We both find satisfaction as we commune together and find the love our hearts long for together. Come dear one, the door of My heart is open to you always.

Mt 6:6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

HIS ANOINTING: POURING OUT HIS RIVERS OF OIL

I saw that I was in a restaurant and people were preparing to serve there. I was waxing the floors with my socks. The “wax” was a mixture of oil and honey. The floors were so liberally waxed that I had to mop some of it up. The floors were so shiny and lovely!

Job 29:2-6 Oh that I were as [in] months past, as [in] the days [when] God preserved me; 3 When his candle shined upon my head, [and when] by his light I walked [through] darkness; 4 As I was in the days of my youth, when the secret of God [was] upon my tabernacle; 5 When the Almighty [was] yet with me, [when] my children [were] about me; 6 When I washed my steps with butter, and the rock poured me out rivers of oil;

9/27/23 HIS SWEET ANOINTING TO BE POURED OUT

I looked up at the clouds and saw Aunt Jemimah smiling at me. It was a surprise because this was not a vision, she was actually alive. Her eyes were moving and watching me, her smile became huge and I felt a little sparkle in her eye when she saw that I saw her. Her head was so big, it filled almost my entire vision. I immediately remembered Ann Golls Word from many years ago about Him pouring syrup out upon our meals.

I love you dear one. Such treasures await. For your finding. Joy in relationship. Ours. Seek and you shall find. I rejoice in watching over you. I listen to you. Thank You for trusting Me.

WORD TO PONDER: MY UNIQUE LOVE FOR YOU 10/20/10

My precious children, how I love you! You are forever sealed upon My heart and I AM always thinking of you! I want you to know, feel and experience My love first hand. So many of you know about Me and believe in Me, but simply cannot grasp that truly I AM in love with you! Even as I have asked you to love Me with your whole heart, soul, mind and strength, can you understand reciprocal love? Yes, precious ones, that is I how I love you. The love I have for you, is created just for you. Even as I created no one else to be like you, and you are uniquely you, so is My love for you. I love you in a way that I love no other! I AM truly in love with you, My precious child.

Song 4:7,9-15 NKJV

You are all fair, my love, And there is no spot in you….. You have ravished my heart, My sister, my spouse; You have ravished my heart With one look of your eyes, With one link of your necklace. 1How fair is your love, My sister, my spouse! How much better than wine is your love, And the scent of your perfumes Than all spices! Your lips, O my spouse, Drip as the honeycomb; Honey and milk are under your tongue; And the fragrance of your garments Is like the fragrance of Lebanon. A garden enclosed Is my sister, my spouse, A spring shut up, A fountain sealed. Your plants are an orchard of pomegranates With pleasant fruits, Fragrant henna with spikenard, Spikenard and saffron, Calamus and cinnamon, With all trees of frankincense, Myrrh and aloes, With all the chief spices — A fountain of gardens, A well of living waters, And streams from Lebanon.

Mr 12:29-31 NKJV

Jesus answered him, “The first of all the commandments is: ‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one. And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ This is the first commandment. And the second, like it, is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”
