The Lord is Himself the answer to our every question, the supply for our every need, the fulfillment of our every hope, the great Gift we each yearn to open. Attaining Jesus, is to have everything, for He is the fullness of our desire, the fulfillment of our faith, the reward of our surrender of ourselves to His loving hand.

He did not come for an elite group. He did not spend Himself for a select few. The Word makes it clear that anyone who wants Him may have Him. He is no respecter of persons so He does not discriminate by nationality or race or wealth or gender or politics. He opens His arms wide to embrace everyone who will receive Him.

In the ancient world, to be fat was thought to be an indication of God’s favor. Only those who could not afford food were thought to be lean. Even in that day, the Lord was trying to dispel that erroneous notion. In this regard, He said, “The poor and afflicted shall eat and be satisfied; they shall praise the Lord…”Psalm 22:26. Notice His inclusion of the poor and afflicted.

He goes on to say in that same verse, “May your hearts be quickened now and forever,” for it is in becoming alive to that truth that we are enlightened to the complete provision the Lord has made for everyone who will receive. He here apprises us that even those considered unblessed are in reality held securely in His hand of blessing if their hearts will but receive Him.
