He came to bring the Mourners Joy

And He said, Come in, thou blessed of the Lord; wherefore standest thou without? for I have prepared the House, and Room for the Camels.

O come! honoured Guest of my Heart, the Provider of Refreshment for my Soul. Although I am a Den of Misery, You still come when You hear my plea.

I repent and pledge my Faith in Hope that I may be called Your own. Although I struggle with sinful Temptations, You still offer me Your Hand.

Your sweet Gaze of Grace sees the Sin in my Heart, and still does not draw away from me. The Sorrow in me remembers the Torment of Christ.

I open my Heart, Soul and Mind to You with great longing. To receive You with true Joy, would be my Rest and Gain.

Come! come and join this weak Child in communion, so that the wonderous bright Rays of Your Light enfold and cover me with Comfort.

Your Manna tastes like heavenly Delight. Your Wellspring flows into my Heart, and I am given a taste of what Faith will bring me in the Hereafter.

It is a hidden Treasure that brings Spirit and Life to strengthen Devotion. It leaves no Room for Sin.

God enters the Soul and with His Goodness and Mercy demonstrates His Power to those who are faithful of Heart and Mind.

Satan’s Power is scattered with the Wind, the Temptations of the World are overcome. In our desire for Spiritual Joy, we have locked up the sinful Man.

God shows what was given to us in those Hours on the Cross. We are freed from the Bonds of Sin and have newfound Freedom.

Now Self and God are united with trusting Love. That which makes a Mockery of something so Divine, cannot come before it and survive.

How light the Saviour’s Yoke is! how gentle His Burden. The Soul that has now reached Heaven sighs with relief.

My God! when will You draw me up to You? when will I stand with the Devout and behold You Face to Face?

I hope and believe I will find Joy and Goodness in Heaven. After I leave the worldly Commotion, I shall stand before Your Throne.

Let the Grace of Your Spirit stand by me, and not let me fall. Make my Path straight and free, and guide my footsteps all the Way.

Even though the Enemy wishes to see me fall, You, Lord, cannot be defeated. When You help me fight against my Enemy, I know I can and will win.

Therefore, wash my Heart clean and take it complete into Your Hand. Then I know I will in Happiness stand for ever before You. Amen.
