Precious Dove

Posted on by Marla
Precious dove, of gentleness, calmly descending
Love, in its purest form, no need of defending…
From Ark, tossed upon the sea, with olive branch from dry-land’s tree,
Over centuries…
To Jordan’s river-bed, being seen as lighting above the head
Of the promised Messiah…
God said, This is my beloved son in whom I am well pleased…
Holy Spirit, received not grieved…
Holy Spirit, given only believe!
Waiting in an upper room, not gentle but with sounding boom…
A mighty-rushing-wind and fire, light the tongues of men…
Now centuries passed, Holy Spirit lasts…
Children of God, be filled to overflowing,
In Jesus name, he’s given, to all who ask…

Luke 3:22 New King James Version
22 And the Holy Spirit descended in bodily form like a dove upon Him, and a voice came from heaven which said, “You are My beloved Son; in You I am well pleased.”

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
