A "Word of the Lord"
through and to Pastor Tom Marxen, 07/30/04.
@ Lake Superior, Two Harbors, Minnesota _____________________________________________________________________________
How far are you willing to go to see the beautiful
things?
The rare, exquisite,..
the unique,
The deep things
That nourish and replenish
your soul.
What are you willing to leave behind?
What things are you willing to do without
For the sake
of the journey
For the sake
of the treasure that is already there, waiting
for you
To see,
To possess,
And have welded and woven into
the fabric of your Life?
Gold, crimson, azure blue
Seashore waves that calm and reassure…
Strength as stone, unyielding.
It will come out of you after it goes in, and
they will know that it is Me,
And be attracted and changed because,
I AM GOOD.
AND I AM GOOD
FOR YOU.
It requires strength and effort to get to this
place -
The destination
is worth the price.
Spend your labor to enter this resting place,
a Sabbath apart.
And intimate,
And quiet,
And satisfied,
And expected
throughout the climb.
The strength that has been given to your legs
is given so that you would climb
And attain
Succeed.
The disease has been driven way so that infirmity
cannot withhold you.
Your wealth has been multiplied so that poverty
can no longer
keep you in short
supply.
Spend your money wisely -
- on treasure that has no
capacity to fade or fail.
Will you come as far as the crowds?
Those who are
set apart, who come to see my treasure?
They eat to fullness
quickly, and they are satisfied,
Contented with
only a little
Of REAL TREASURE.
Comfortable Love.
There are many who come to that place - Out
of LOVE they have come,
They have received,
They recognize
one another, and it is a good and pleasant land.
It is a Land
of Life.
But it is not the Land of my Riches and My Wealth.
Come TO ME ---
---OUTSIDE the CAMP.
Come TO ME--
--- with Discipline and Freedom.
Freedom to believe what you see Here.
Freedom to believe the Desires of your Heart
--
--Are Real and True.
To be fulfilled in Your days,
In Your time,
All of it.
Come TO ME
Come
Come to
the Place
Where the others will not come -
Without care, or worry, or judgment against
them
In their own time I will Call them
By their Names, I will Call them
And in you, they will see ME--
-- if you Come now.
They will see ME as never before, and they will
be stirred to LIFE,
To seek
ME with all their heart.
If you will
Come TO ME
Come
TO ME Now.
And spend all that I have given you.
I will never leave you short handed
My
well is deep and my mountain is deeper
than
any imagination, or mine of treasure.
My Secrets are Deep Treasure,
Dig
deeply,
Relentlessly,
Spare
not for the labor,
I
will sustain you as you dig.
How far will you go?
I will take you there.
Come TO ME,
It is My pleasure to walk with you alone,
And fill you,
Transform you,
In the cool of one short evening,
We will Speak to one another
Our Words will be Heard,
And it will be just as we have Spoken--
--and Agreed.
