As I have been experiencing worship this morning during my devotional time, I have over and over been deeply touched by God’s Spirit’s presence. Then, when I asked Jesus what He wanted me to know from Him for today, He tied His message to the worship song playing at the moment. The song was “There Is a River”. Our quartet has sung this many times over the years. The lyrics say, There is river that flows from deep within…. I heard the Spirit’s voice speak saying this river flows not from deep within me, but from deep within God Himself to me. He went on to say that the emptiness within me left from sin’s destruction is waiting to be filled with the healing beauty of God’s Spirit, God’s purpose, God’s Love, His Forgiveness and Grace. This is God’s Mercy at work in you.

Well, I had to quit writing for a minute as all of this has welled up once again within me. God’s Spirit’s Voice went onto say that I needed to let this truth be known to the scores of folks coming for help each week. This River of God’s Deep Love flows directly from Him to us. He so wants us to receive it and let it cleanse us from the lies sin’s deceiver has attempted to have us believe about ourselves and about others. This River flows directly to us from God’s own PURITY. Nothing can stand in its way if we will simply allow the walls we have built to crumble and let this PURITY cleanse and replace all of sin’s damage with this MERCY, LOVE and PURPOSE from GOD HIMSELF!
