How the blessed Lord desires our fellowship! The divine, eternal Son of God, Creator and Sustainer of all, delight of the Father’s heart He who fills all heaven with His infinite glory this Jesus longs for your company! Oh! that we might daily respond to and supply the sweet desire of His blessed heart.
He requests us to “watch with Me” (Matt. 26:38), desires that we would remember Him in death—“With desire I have desired to eat... with you” (Luke 22:15) and has asked the Father that each of His own “be with Me where I am” (John 17:24). Is there anything sweeter than being with Him? Do we long for His company each day?
