OUR TODAY’S     You’ve met all your needs    by you being lord; Now you’re trying to    meet Mine too.  Is this not expecting    My knee to bow to the Me that you’ve found in you?   My knee had to bow,    when you sunk so low, to pick you up out of the mire.    But make no mistake, rebellious child,    you are not My heart’s desire.   The directive I gave is:    Delight yourself in the way that I told you to go.    Anything less is you being My lord;    Again, a crown of fool’s gold.   Do you think that    that kind of a heart can respond to a love that won’t bow its knee?    Wherein then, is trust in that assumption,    that makes you lord over Me?   So far has your search    really been for Me? Am I really your heart’s desire?    Do you let Me invade your plans for today?    Be careful! You’re playing with fire!   Then you think, But is love    perfected in fear? Well, if that’s the cord that it strikes,    you’re admitting then, this is found in you    and everything isn’t alright.   Be very careful from this point on    and don’t call the Truth a lie. The truth searched your heart    and I won’t receive any part of your impudent cry.   Religious rules won’t work either;    That’s not what I’m all about. It’s time to lay My axe to the root    and kick this foolishness out!   Now straighten up;    Do what I command; I Am the Sacrifice.    Your heart’s in My hand; Only I can mold.    All else is sinking sand.   There is no mystery,    to know this is right; I’ve written it down    in black and white.   Are you doing the things    that I’ve instructed? Oh, you think that you’re    beyond this? Well, think again,    My rebellious child; The treasure your way    can be missed!    Now, nail it!    And, by the way, here’s some nails    that I saved for you from My Cross.    You must decide, right here and now:    Who is it that’s going to be Boss?   There’s only one Cross    that’s anointed like this; It’s One that you couldn’t endure;    So I went there for you and, because of this,    I’ve purchased your total cure.   But if you won’t do    what I’m telling you, for you, the solution’s not there.    Now, don’t even try persuading Me;    That I must not really care!   You are My dear child;    But I won’t put up with rebellion that tries to be Lord.    Don’t think that I’ll wink or let this go by;    This, I will never ignore!   I have treasures for you;    But this does require that I Am your total heart’s desire. Anything less and it    wouldn’t be free; This love that we had in eternity.    You then, would have    to make yourself young; And then, there’s the clothes and food.    You’ve been that road and it doesn’t work; I’m not going to let you loose.   Now, it’s that kind of love    that you’re trying to rule; I’ve decided to not let you    play “the fool”.   Oh, you can say, “No”;    But not by Me. My intention for you    is that you will see: All that My payment    has laid up in store; Ready to burst as I open    The Door;   For My loving child    that cries, “Abba, Father”, Instructed right here at My knee;    As I take your hand, then you’ll understand    the mysteries that you see.   My mighty hand is    upon your Today’s, as you submit yourself    to My order. Your obedient walk    will now grow very fast because I have expanded your border.   Now, isn’t this better    to sit at My knee and respond to My direction:    A burden free walk right now with Me,    as your face shines with My Reflection.   My love is timeless;    There is no zone; from the past to right now    and beyond. Your belief will keep growing    as you say, “Yes,” to Me; And, of course, I will surely respond.
