Invitation to fine dining

Invitation to fine dining
 
Jn.21: 12-13
[This is Jesus appearing to the disciples just after His crucifixion & resurrection. These guys are discouraged and have horrible feelings of failure they haven't fully dealt with yet.  They have pulled back spiritually, with feelings of personal failure, shattered dreams and expectations.]
Jesus said unto them, COME AND DINE. [move toward me and break your fast]

And none of the disciples ventured or dared ask him, Who are you? because they well knew that it was the Lord.

THEN JESUS CAME, and took the bread, and gave it to them, and so also with the fish.

Pray the Word:
Lord, thank You for the STANDING INVITATION to COME AND DINE.  You offer us a place where we are given nourishment and fellowship after a time of despair and depression. A place to find restoration when we have failed or were fearful. A place of new energy after life’s disappointments and disillusionments. A place where hope bursts in our soul again!

Thank you for reading my blog of thoughts, encouragement and instructions the Lord speaks about to me. It is simply my therapy to write down these things as I walk my journey out with Him. I would love to hear back from you. Each new day is a blessing! Dorothy
