The Presses of Pain
From the presses of pain
Comes the soul's best wine
For eyes that have shed no rain
Can shed no shine
At the Master's table is always the best wine because the Master has pressed the grapes and made the best wine from His tears and His pain
He bore for us. So when we commune with God at His table, the wine is His blood, shed for us and the bread is His body crucified and resurrected for us. Through this process of the "presses of pain" Jesus gives us eternal hope and life everlasting. If we partake from His table, we shine with His light.
Psalms 23
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures,
He leads me beside the quiet waters.
He restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil, for you are with me;
Your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.
You annoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. Selah

Have you tasted the best wine from the Master's table? Do you have eyes to see? Do you have ears to hear? Do you have an open heart so you can receive this message? The message is about the love of God. Do you have the love of God in your soul? Have you received your daily bread from the Master's table? Have you really ever tasted the sweet wine He has to offer
humanity? Knock and the door will be opened. Seek and you shall find.
Ask and you will receive.
My prayer is this:
That anyone who reads this will feel the Spirit of God and be touched. God can even touch the hardened heart., calloused by greed, hate, malious, revenge and things that keep souls from being in touch with God. Ask God for a clean heart. Ask God to open up your heart and let the Spirit guide your steps. "Thy" will be done, not "my" will be done. Surrender into the arms of Jesus. He is waiting for you.
I have tasted of the wine and bread. That is why I can shine with God's goodness. I can shine through any storm that comes my way because I know that my God commands the heavens and the oceans. He rolls all the storms away because He is my protector in times of trouble. My enemies shall flee for fear from the wrath of God. I am precious in His sight. I am a child of God. I am blessed because my God lives within my soul.
God is my provider!
God is my protector!
I will not lean on my own understanding.
I will trust in the Lord to take care of me like the sparrows.
I pray for my enemies.
I am comforted and feel the peace that passes all understanding when I am in His presence....
Thank you God for holding me in your arms.
In the name of Jesus....
Nancy
