Chosen, But Why? A look at God’s Electing Love Offered by Doug Blair, Kitchener ON, 2021
Unprofitable but Still Desired on November 04, 2021
Of course you do not need me Or information from me Or power
1
Or nourishment Or empathy, comfort. But you say that you desire me Won’t stop until I am safely Home. And oh how I have wandered Stubborn to that “me first” itinerary. Finding myself in one mess after another. As the King in that parable said “My house shall be filled with celebration And exquisite joy for the union Of my Son and His fortunate Bride.” Simply come. Answer my Message. I desire to give, and give again.
That Perfect Hundred Comes to me so plainly now Seated in heavenly places 2
Not someday when, but now. Incorporated by resurrection power Into the circle of Triune Love Their agreement and empathy Their plan for the world With all long-suffering and kindness. Jesus asked the Father Might they all be One As you and I are One Together with Spirit. Their Indweller. Their Comfort. It’s done. It’s DONE. That perfect number for the gathered flock. Almost come, almost come. at November 04, 2021 Labels: presence of the king, right standing, seeing Glory

Lord might you Do it for me today Show You are near Hear as I pray. So much routine Stifles the thrill Happy new openings Hearing Your Will. Spirit available Wondrous Standby

Shares in my joy Knows every cry. Newness of hope this day Must be my stance. Challenge of partnership Endless Romance.
Through the Tunnel I, Yes I Matter
I matter, I matter Yes I matter. In this sordid mess That never should have come. I matter And I grumble 5
At misfortune. And I question God, Allowing in this mix A dreadful sum.
I wonder, I wonder Yes I wonder, Could the One Who moved The sea now let me drown? I wonder As I ponder All our history. And I know that He Has purpose in this pain Til help comes down.
I conquer, I conquer Yes I conquer. As I push aside Sad self who blocks the way. I conquer In surrender To a Father Who 6
Employs the night-time And its settling dews Before the Day.
Aloft on the Plateau
Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe
I am up on a high plateau
Of good thoughts.
No reason to step down.
7
Jesus gave the words in
His Last Supper with the twelve.
Let me serve you.
Do not fear
I go to prepare your place
Where I will be also.
This is best, for it
Will release the Holy Spirit
To your aid, wisdom and strength.
Others without the Call
8
Will chafe.
Will want to serve you up
To the world’s flames.
But I have overcome the world.
And you, in me have done it
As well.
I am praying that
Father will keep you always.
I, your Saviour
Am praying this.
9
Seize that thought.
So keep up on the Plateau. OK?
Have I, will I, not be true
To this the Father’s Plan?
With Glory that far outshines
All transitory hurdles.
Note: Since we know full well that God is Lord over everything, it makes sense that He should have pre-determined the perfect number for His family of faith. He does the wooing and drawing and keeping. Our response must be obedience, thankfulness and good report. He even promises to share His throne in Glory. No one ever worked or studied his own way into such a position of favour. Thank you Lord!
