A personal contact
Delight thyself in the Lord, and He will give thee the desires of thine heart. (Psalm 37:4)
You must get into personal contact with Him. You must have personal dealings with Christ Himself. You must touch Jesus, for there are no gifts without the Giver, no blessings without the Blesser!
This touch is worth more than all the gifts. This personal contact is far more blessed than all the blessing, for it not only brings you the supply of your material need, it also brings the supply of your spiritual need, and throws open to the soul new vistas of glory, heights of attainment, and visions of riches in Christ Jesus never dreamed of.
Oh, that God would reveal to each one of us now, so that we can get beyond all secondary things quickly, that it is Christ Himself, Jesus only, that is the greatest need of our life, the only source of supply.
Reveal to us, O Lord, that we cannot have the blessings without the Blesser; the victory without the Victor; the light without the Sun of Righteousness; the fragrance without the Rose of Sharon; holiness without the Holy One; healing without the Healer; the life abundant without the Life-Giver, for Jesus is all and in all, the source of supply, the stream that never runs dry! —[1]
He cannot bless us until He has us. When we try to keep within us an area that is our own, we try to keep an area of death. Therefore, in love, He claims all. There’s no bargaining with Him. —C. S. Lewis
