A Change of Name
"It shall be, in that day," says the Lord, " That you will call Me ' My Husband, ' and no longer call Me ' My Master, ' for I will take from her mouth the names of the Baals, and they shall be remembered by their name no more."
~ Hosea 2:16-17
"That day has come. We view our God no more as Baal, our tyrant lord, but as our Ishi, our beloved Husband, our Lord in love. We do not revere Him less, but we love Him more. We do not serve Him less obediently, but we serve Him for a higher and more endearing reason. We no longer tremble under His lash, but rejoice in His love.
Is it so with you, dear reader? Has grace cast out fear and implanted love? How happy are we in such an experience! Now we call the Lord's Day a delight, and worship is never a weariness. Prayer is now a privilege, and praise is a holiday. To obey is heaven; to give to the cause of God is a banquet. Thus have all things become new. Our mouth is filled with singing, and our heart with music. Blessed be our heavenly Ishi forever." (By: Charles H. Spurgeon ~ One Minute Devotions)
This book by Charles H. Spurgeon has really helped me out, infact I was so inspired that I wanted to be able to share this book with you, and just maybe it will touch your heart to.
