How I welcome My People to My Heavenly Table.
No one is left out of the invitation.
NO ONE.
No matter what you have done or failed to do, each of you will be invited to My Heavenly Table.
But just as I invited you to come aside and spend time with Me and just as you decline saying you have something else to do, that is how some of you will respond to My Heavenly Invitation to come join Me at My Heavenly Table.
Even if I suspect you might refuse, I will still joyfully extend the invitation.
I want no one excluded.
So do not ever point to Me and say I have excluded you. For I tell you right now that is FALSE.
The evil one will whisper that in your ear, blaming Me for excluding you --- therefore I am not really that great a Loving God after all.
But I tell you, I do not exclude you in the invitation.
Show Me the worst thing you have ever done and I still will include you on the list to be invited to join Me at My Heavenly Table.
Now this does not have to happen just when you die, but come to Me now and enjoy the banquet I have in store for you now.
If you say it, or you hear another say it “The Lord would not invite me to join Him at His Heavenly Table. Do you know the sins, the wrongs I have done?”
Do not miss the opportunity to tell yourself or another that they have absolutely no right to think He would not invite them.
He Loves ALL unconditionally. If He was a picky, choosey God then sure some of us might not make it to His Table.
But He is not.
He is ALL Loving, ALL Merciful, ALL Delighted when you join Him and let Him know you are hesitant but still so willing to respond to His Invite.
He does not mind if you are shy or hesitant. He does ache for you to come aside anyway.
So start small. Just step aside during your day and tell Me either with great conviction or great trepidation.
“Lord I want to join You at Your Heavenly Table.”
Just start with these simple words. Even if your heart is shaking and feeling sorry for itself, and unsure of the future --- come aside and say those few words.
Don’t you think that I won’t be delighted to hear from you -- perhaps for the first time in years.
I tell you right now that when I hear you whisper these words, even in trepidation, My Heart will leap for Joy.
A lost sheep has returned to fill My Loving Heart with their presence!
I tell you there will be great rejoicing.
You don’t even have to be the worst sinner --- No, No, No.
Ultimately though you have been lost in the busy world and may have just come to realize your true self in relationship to Me.
I am aching for you to return because My Love loves to be returned to Me.
