"The dove came in to him in the evening."
Genesis 8:11
Blessed be the Lord for another day of mercy,
even though I am now weary with its toils.
Unto the preserver of men lift I my song of gratitude.
The dove found no rest out of the ark,
and therefore returned to it;
and my soul has learned yet more fully than ever,
this day, that there is no satisfaction to be found in earthly things--God alone can give rest to my spirit.
As to my business, my possessions, my family,
my attainments, these are all well enough in their way,
but they cannot fulfil the desires of my immortal nature.
"Return unto thy rest, O my soul,
for the Lord hath dealt bountifully with thee."
It was at the still hour, when the gates of the day were closing,
that with weary wing the dove came back to the master:
O Lord, enable me this evening thus to return to Jesus.
She could not endure to spend a night hovering over the restless waste,
nor can I bear to be even for another hour away from Jesus,
the rest of my heart, the home of my spirit.
She did not merely alight upon the roof of the ark,
she "came in to him;"
even so would my longing spirit look into the secret of the Lord,
pierce to the interior of truth,
enter into that which is within the veil,
and reach to my Beloved in very deed.
To Jesus must I come: short of the nearest and dearest intercourse with him my panting spirit cannot stay.
Blessed Lord Jesus, be with me, reveal thyself,
and abide with me all night,
so that when I awake I may be still with thee.
I note that the dove brought in her mouth an olive branch plucked off, the memorial of the past day,
and a prophecy of the future.
Have I no pleasing record to bring home?
No pledge and earnest of lovingkindness yet to come?
Yes, my Lord, I present thee my grateful acknowledgments for tender mercies which have been new every morning and fresh every evening;
and now, I pray thee, put forth thy hand and take thy dove into thy bosom.

If you are not a believer in Jesus Christ,
you can be accepted in to his kingdom.
I invite you to let him to make of you what
He always wanted.
"PRAYER"
Marvelous God Almighty,
I come to you in the precious name of Jesus,
who died for me to make me free of sin,
I come to you in the precious name of Jesus,
who died for me to make me free of sin,
I want Jesus to enter in to my heart and make me free.
I confess that He is the son of God.
I ask to change my heart and to give me wisdom to understand your Holy Word full of promises of eternal value, not only to live on this earth, but to be expectant of my life in heaven.
In the precious name of Jesus I ask.
Amen..

not in its fashion and manner,
but in the truth which it contains.”
