I came tired and heavy-laden, dry and grimy, the light of Jesus dim within me. Wooed and led to this pool by His gentle voice, I was expectant but apprehensive, excited and yearning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLord,\u201d<\/em> I had cried, \u201cI want you to break me, cleanse me, refresh me. Put your arms around me. Enfold Your bride and whisper words of love to me \u2026 I miss you, Lord. Please hurry \u2026 find me!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI remember the times when I soared with Eagles wings, Every sinew alive, pulsating. Your lifeblood in me. But now \u2026 Lord, take me to the high peaks \u2013 let me fly again.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cStep into the water, child \u2013 this pool of life. Go deeper. Let the cool waters wrap around you.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThis is good, Lord!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMy child, trust Me, dive into the deep. Take your feet from the ground and plunge into the depths of My Love. Trust Me \u2013 Trust Me! Let My Spirit cleanse you.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Deeper and deeper I go \u2026 Peace. His Peace flowing \u2013 caressing me. There it is! There it is \u2013 that beautiful pearl \u2013 the Heart of God!<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cTouch it, child \u2013 take it \u2013 receive it \u2013 it\u2019s yours to cherish!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMy Jesus, my Lord.\u201d <\/em>Warm tears flow from me. Taking away the hurts that bound me. \u201cI\u2019m free \u2013 I\u2019m Yours. I give You all of me \u2026 Lord, I thank You that You\u2019ve forgiven me.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cLet me stay here in this pool with You, Lord, we can \u2026<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Sorry Lord, I know I must return to the battlefield \u2013 strengthened, refreshed, your fire burning and shining in me.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThis pool \u2013 Lord, how can I ever forget it. Inviting, welcoming, crystal clear and sparkling. Deep and steadfast. It's filled with Your love. It\u2019s brought Joy, it\u2019s brought Healing \u2013 it\u2019s brought ME back home to You.\u201d <\/em>Eddie Badger, Gartcosh, Glasgow. 1995<\/p>\n\n\n\n We first met Eddie at a men's conference. He appeared to be a lovely, unassuming man who was given this 'poem of life' one evening during his prayer time. We were all encouraged to 'share' the following morning, and when he shared this, it closed down the prospective morning sessions - leaving all 50+ men sniffling and reaching for the tissues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Are your ears awake? Listen. Listen to the Wind Words, the Spirit blowing through the churches. Christ-conquerors are safe from Devil-death.\u201d (Rev 2:11)\u00a0 NB - Thank you for your continuing prayer support for Jean and Ian. I got the following prayer update yesterday from Jean's brother in law: \"...<\/em>She (seems a lot better) as she's sending me to her home to go and get personal stuff to the hospital for her...<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Heavenly Father, giver of life and health: Comfort and relieve your sick servant, and give your power of healing to those who minister to her needs so that she may be strengthened in her weakness and have confidence in your loving care. We pray this through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/muchgrace\/ I came tired and heavy-laden, dry and grimy, the light of Jesus dim within me.
