I wait, wait with a hungry longing to be called upon; and I, who have already seen your hearts\u2019 needs before you cried upon Me, before perhaps you were conscious of those needs yourself, I am already preparing the answer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Day\">It is like a Mother, who is setting aside suitable gifts for her daughter\u2019s wedding, before Love even has come into the daughter\u2019s life.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Day\">The Anticipatory Love of God is a thing mortals seldom realize. Dwell on this thought. Dismiss from your minds the thought of a grudging God, who had to be petitioned with sighs and tears and much speaking before reluctantly He loosed the desired treasures. Man\u2019s thoughts of Me need revolutionizing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Day\">Try and see a Mother preparing birthday or Christmas delights for her child \u2013 the while her Mother-heart sings: \u201cWill she not love that? How she will love this!\u201d and anticipates the rapture of her child, her own heart full of the tenderest joy. Where did the Mother learn all this preparation \u2013 joy? From Me \u2013 a faint echo this of My preparation \u2013 joy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Day\">Try to see this as plans unfold of My preparing. It means much to Me to be understood, and the understanding of Me will bring great joy to you.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Scripture\" style=\"text-align:center;\"><span style=\"color:#008000;\"><em>Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly\u00a0<\/em><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color:#008000;\"> <em> above all that we ask or think, according to the\u00a0<\/em><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color:#008000;\"> <em> power that worketh in us.\u00a0 Ephesians 3:20<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>January 19 \u2013 Love Anticipates Lord, I will seek Thee.
