Come and Stay

Posted on by Marla
 
I awoke at around 5:30 this morning from a dream. There was a young woman she looked to be about 30 years old, she was singing. I was in front of the Church and we were singing. Her brother and dad were on the other side of the platform also singing…
It was a song I had never heard before it was a little chorus.… “If you’d like to have this Bible, come and stay, come and stay, come and stay…” Then she walked over to where her brother and dad was singing and sang with them… “If you would like to have this Bible, come and stay, come and stay, come and stay.”
I got up and wrote it down so I wouldn’t forget it. I had a piece of toast, to bring my blood sugar up. I kept singing the song in my head…then I thought…”If you want to have this healing, come and stay, come and stay, come and stay…” “If you want to have Joy, come and stay, come and stay, come and stay…” and so on…
We get busy in our earthly lives thinking about all the things that need to be done. All the things we’d like to accomplish and our minds are consumed with tasks that seem insurmountable and we wonder, will they ever be completed…? Maybe because of moving into our new home and wanting everything to be unpacked and set up and trying to find a place for everything is the reason I had this dream. I enjoy doing this sort of thing, but, it can be overwhelming at times…I know, it will get done in time…and my mind is trying to tell me to relax…do it little by little, I know…I know… but the most important thing is to keep my heart on the Lord, and take the time to just sit with Him and not rush, in, and out…Holy Spirit is saying, “Come and stay, come and stay, come and stay.”
I felt a tugging in my heart that would not let me play…
It started when I awoke, just at break of day…
Boxes are waiting for you to unpack
They’re in the garage there’s many a stack…
One by one I open the task…
Where will you go? Bewildered I ask…
But there in the midst of all this disarray…
I stop and listen as I hear Him say…
Come and stay, come and stay, come and stay…
Oh Papa, it seems so long, I know…
Since I’ve taken the time, on you to bestow
Thanksgiving and praise, from here below…
Forgive me Jesus, right now I’ll go…
Sit in your presence and willingly sow…
Blessing and honor and praise to my King
Glory and worship; songs I will sing…
Staying with you is everything…
Jesus loves me this I know, for the Bible tells me so, little ones to him belong,
They are weak but He is strong…Yes Jesus loves me…Yes Jesus loves me…Yes Jesus loves me, the Bible tells me so…
If you’d like to have this Bible…come and stay, come and stay, come and stay…
Jesus is calling for us today…
Come and stay!

Revelation 22:17 King James Version (KJV) And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.

I love the Lord Jesus Christ and am passionate about writing. I hope you enjoy the blog and come to visit often. Then the Lord answered me and said: “Write the vision And make it plain on tablets, That he may run who reads it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry. “Behold the proud, His soul is not upright in him; But the just shall live by his faith. Habakkuk 2: 2-4

  1. “Come and stay . . .” Yes, Marla, Jesus loves us all. He is calling us to dwell with Him each and every day; not rushing on to new things, but abiding. You’ve captured that thought so well here.
    Blessings!
