Morning by Morning, October 30, 2025 – “Come to Me.”

 

Morning by Morning, October 30, 2025 – “Come to Me.”

 

Good morning, Lord Jesus. I lift up my heart to You, as I’m watching and waiting for Your leading. ...

 

I hear in my heart, “Come to Me.” ...

 

Yes, Lord. ... To “Come” is a choice. To “Come to (You)” is a destination. To “Come to (You)” is a focusing of the center of my attention. To “Come to (You)” is to draw near to You. And Your Word promises, if I draw near to You, You’ll draw near to me. “Draw near to God and He will draw near to you” (James 4:8).

 

And now Your Word comes to me, to confirm by Your written Word what I believe I’m hearing my heart as Your spoken word:

 

“Incline your ear, and come to Me. Hear, and your soul shall live” (Isaiah 55:3).

 

To “Come to (You)” is to actively, intentionally, deliberately lean in with the ears of my spirit, to listen in with the ears of my heart, to “hear” Your voice and sense Your leading. It’s in this posture of positioning myself near to You, that the Words and Promises of the Invitation of Your Scripture come alive to me:

 

“My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me” (John 10:27).

 

Leaning in and listening in the intimacy of this communion of trust and personal relationship is where You “know (me)” and empower me to “follow (You),” Lord Jesus.

 

And now Your famous Words come to my heart:

 

“Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light” (Matthew 11:28-30).

 

So by the power of Your grace, at work within me by Your Spirit, I “Come to (You).” I rest in You. I rest in the peace of knowing You and knowing You know me. I rest in the peace of knowing as I incline my ear and come to You, I will hear and follow and find rest for my soul to live in You as You live in me. Thank You, Lord Jesus. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.


 

Be encouraged today. In the love of Jesus, Tommy Hays

Morning by Morning, October 29, 2025 – “Being Transformed” into the “Image” of the Son of God “from Glory to Glory”

 

Morning by Morning, October 29, 2025 – “Being Transformed” into the “Image” of the Son of God “from Glory to Glory”

 

Good morning, Lord Jesus. I fix my gaze and direct my focus to You. ...

 

“But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord” (2 Corinthians 3:18).

 

“With unveiled face.” Unveil my face as I behold You, Lord. Unveil my heart as I draw near to you in worship and prayer, in surrender and trust. Reveal and remove every barrier and blockage that would hinder me from seeing You as You are and seeing myself as You see me. Replace all of that with all of You in Your abiding Presence, uncompromising Truth, and abounding Love.

 

“Beholding.” Stir in my heart to lift up my face to behold Your face. Heart to Heart, face to Face, spirit to Spirit. “Deep calls unto Deep” (Psalm 42:7). As I draw near to You, You draw near to me (James 4:8).

 

“Being transformed.” Keep transforming me, changing me, making me more like You as I seek You, behold You, and embrace You. As Your Word invites me, “Look to the Lord and His strength; seek His face always” (1 Chronicles 16:11). “Now devote your heart and soul to seeking the Lord your God” (1 Chronicles 22:19).

 

“Into the same image.” It’s Your Image I seek; It’s You I seek. And You seek to make me more like You, to be conformed into the image of the Son of God (Romans 8:29). As You are, so am I to be in my world (1 John 4:17).

 

“From glory to glory.” Not in an instant, but in a process. Even though it’s done immediately in the heavenly dimension of my being from the moment I’m saved (Ephesians 2:5), here in this earthly dimension it’s a spiritual journey that unfolds “from glory to glory”, layer by layer, step by step, day by day, moment by moment all along the way. You will be faithful to bring to completion the good work You have begun in me (Philippians 1:6).

 

“By the Spirit of the Lord.” I can’t do this own my own, not in my power, my wisdom, my righteousness, my good works or good intents. Apart from You, I can do nothing (John 15:5). But You can and You are. You’re moving in me by Your Spirit, giving me right desires and Your power to do what pleases You (Philippians 2:13). And what pleases You is for me to focus on You, to behold You, to allow You to keep changing me into Your image from glory to glory, secure in my identity, fulfilling my destiny, as a child of God and disciple of Christ.

 

In seeking, there is finding. In finding, there is beholding. In beholding, there is embracing. In embracing, there is love. There is love because You first loved me (1 John 4:19). And in Your love for me, You are changing me from the inside out “into (Your) image from glory to glory.”

 

It’s not by my might nor my power, not by my goodness nor my worthiness, but by Your Spirit (Zechariah 4:6) — “just as by the Spirit of the Lord.” I can’t earn it or deserve it. But it’s available to me every time I seek You, pursue You, behold You and allow You to make me more like You. Morning by morning, moment by moment, “from glory to glory.”

 

Just as Your Word promises, You’ll be faithful to take me to my spiritual destination on my spiritual journey of pursuing You:

 

“Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him. Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure” (1 John 3:1-3).

 

Purify me. Change me. Make me more like You, more and more every day, Lord -- Father, Son, and Holy Spirit of God. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

 

Be encouraged today. In the love of Jesus, Tommy Hays



My friend, may you be transformed into the image of the Son of God, from glory to glory, as you pursue and behold Him, in Jesus' name. God bless you, my friend! And you have a great day!

Morning by Morning, October 28, 2025 – “Eternity in (Our) Hearts” in the Eternal Dimension of God

 

Morning by Morning, October 28, 2025 – “Eternity in (Our) Hearts” in the Eternal Dimension of God

 

Good morning, Lord Jesus. I welcome You here in my heart and every moment of my day. ...

 

“He has put eternity in their hearts.... That which has already been, and what is to be has already been” (Ecclesiastes 3:11, 15).

 

Eternity has no beginning and has no end. Eternity is. Just as You are “I AM WHO I AM” (Exodus 3:14). No beginning, no end. Just, You Are. You are “above all, and through all, and in all” (Ephesians 4:6). You’re not limited by anything at all. You are “Him who fills all in all” (Ephesians 1:23).

 

And somehow, in some way that we can only imagine, or try to imagine, You’ve “put eternity in (our) hearts.” In some way, the truth is that we also live in that eternal dimension, as we abide in You and You abide in us (John 15:4), as we are one with You and You are one within us (John 17:21), as our bodies are Your temple and Your Spirit lives in us (1 Corinthians 6:19), that the Spirit of God moves in our human spirit, crying out from our hearts Abba Father as children of God, for that is who we are (Romans 8:15), as the same Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead also lives in us (Romans 8:11), as we are joined with You and You are joined with us so that we are “one spirit” with You (1 Corinthians 6:17).

 

While we live here in this earthly dimension, we also, at the same time, live in Your heavenly dimension. “But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus” (Ephesians 2:4-6).

 

Eternity’s hard to grasp. But eternity is true. Eternity is You. And You’ve put Your eternity in us.

 

Father, Son, and Holy Spirit of God, help me understand more, help me embrace more — more of You, more of Your truth, more of knowing who You are in every dimension of Your Being and knowing who You’ve created me to be in every dimension of my being.

 

David said, “Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain it” (Psalm 139:6). Yet, at the same time, You put it in our hearts to seek the truth, to know the truth, to experience the truth of just how eternally glorious You are and even how, in the eternal dimension of our being, we are eternally one with You. As You expressed in the eternal, extraordinary truth of one dimension of how we are fearfully and wonderfully made, “You will know that I AM in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you” (John 14:20).

 

Thank You that You are fulfilling the Promise of Your Word, even if we don’t yet fully understand and grasp the depths of Your truth here in this earthly dimension of our finite minds, that “the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things” (John 14:26). “When He, the Spirit of Truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth” (John 16:13). “He will glorify Me” (John 16:14).

 

Eternally glorious One, thank You for putting eternity in my heart. Thank You for making me one with You, one with my Father, one with the Holy Spirit — for all eternity. “The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with (us) all” (2 Corinthians 13:14). In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.



Be encouraged today. In the love of Jesus, Tommy Hays


My friend, may you grow in understanding the truth of your position in the heart and eternal dimension of God, in Jesus' name. God bless you and you have a great day!
