Shall Know: Grace in the Wilderness: Prayers and Poetry

                                               Shall Know

                                                All shall know

                                                each one

                                                least to greatest

                                                equal mercy

                                                forgiveness fresh

                                                end of condemnation

                                                know the Lord

                                                everlasting declaration

                                                release from sin

                                                eternity begins here.

Romans 8:34, “Who is the one who condemns? Christ Jesus is He who died, yes, rather who was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us.”

Each Know: Grace in the Wilderness: Prayers and Poetry

Jeremiah 31: 34 “And they shall not teach again, each man his neighbor and each man his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for they shall all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them,’ declares the Lord, ‘for I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more.’”

Each One,

From the least to the greatest the promise is given—no special privileges—equal ground.

Each one invited to know Him personally—to accept forgiveness—to begin a fresh start.

From an on growing relationship based on mercy and love instead of condemnation and misused legality.

One of the deepest things we crave is to be known—seen—cared for—and the Lord offers all to each one of us so that no one would ever be left alone unless they refuse. Which too often we do when buried in our own self-centeredness. But again and again, the Lord gives each of us new hearts that recognize His grace and forgiveness.

Thank you. Lord, for Your intercession—with the understanding of our needs that we cannot even recognize. Give us ears to listen and trust and accept Your gift of mercy. And to treat each other with Your mercy.
