The Lord remembers!

Hi again,
How beautiful it is to think that there is a book of remembrance which we have stored in the heavenlies. I have just been to a ladies group to minister to them, and that was one of the things that The Lord impressed upon me very strongly. There are conditions to that book being written though. It is found in Malachi 3:16,17 ….. those who feared the Lord talked often to one another; and the Lord LISTENED AND HEARD IT AND A BOOK OF REMEMBRANCE WAS WRITTEN BEFORE HIM OF THOSE WHO REVERENCED AND WORSHIPFULLY FEARED THE LORD AND WHO THOUGHT ON HIS NAME.
17 AND THEY SHALL BE MINE SAYS THE LORD OF HOSTS IN THAT DAY WHEN I PUBLICLY RECOGNISE AND OPENLY DECLARE THEM TO BE MY JEWELS (MY SPECIAL POSSESSION, MY PECULIAR TREASURE) AND I WILL SPARE THEM, AS A MAN SPARES HIS OWN SON WHO SERVES HIM.
I want to have storehouses filled with books of my thoughts toward the Lord…….. Wouldn’t it be sad to find one little page there, and the words written……. ‘Only thought of the Lord occasionally, particularly when she was in need.” I want to have storehouses filled with reams of paper and thoughts that were turned to God….. Forever beholding Him and His beauty and His majesty, forever extolling His endless Love and Who He is just because He is God….. I want my life to be a love story to the Lord. Let's purpose in our hearts to first reverence the Lord, worship Him, and have the right kind of Godly fear that "is the beginning of wisdom." Let's turn our eyes and hearts afresh to the Lord, and think about Him often, talk about Him often and wait with great anticipation to see how many times we actually thought of the Lord.... but of course we will not know that until we get to heaven!
I also ministered in song to the women who soaked in the Lord's Love and His Presence.... who knows the Lord's ways? His ways are much higher than ours.. He changes us from Glory to Glory as we sit in His presence. His work is not always displayed openly, sometimes there is a much deeper inner work that He is doing "by His Spirit," and it is only in time to come that we see and know the effect of that work.
One lady sent me an email yesterday, and said she was was still enjoying the presence of the Lord from the day before, so that is precious, others said that they went to "another place" with God, and did not want to come back to reality here. The Lord touched another lady in a mighty way, and I am sure she will never be the same again. To God be the Glory as He moulds us and makes us the way that we should be.
May God bless you abundantly, and let's remember to think of the Lord often..and worship Him, after all The Lord has a book of remebrance in heaven with our thoughts written when we think of Him, and talk about Him..... I'll leave you with that awesome thought!
'Til next time,
Love Linda

Every time I visit your site or blog, Linda, you have such great Bible verses picked out!
"AND THEY SHALL BE MINE SAYS THE LORD OF HOSTS IN THAT DAY WHEN I PUBLICLY RECOGNISE AND OPENLY DECLARE THEM TO BE MY JEWELS..."
I was writing about the jewels in His crown yesterday, in relationship to true and evolving worship and intercession - and the shine that will result upon the Bride... but yes, it is also wonderful to think that the Lord actually records our thoughts about Him - captures our adoration and is able to write that down, in a book!!! Now, those must be some words, and I'd like to see them, because it's a challenge putting that level of praise and worship into human words. Awesome!
Love you :o)
