It means to be absolutely certain that HE+ will do what HE+ says HE+ will do .
ADVENT MEDITATIONS
to remember the Incarnation of the LORD JESUS CHRIST,
EMMANUEL ~ GOD with us.
But as many as received HIM+,
to them gave HE+ power
Authority
Literal Greek: exousian
to become the sons of GOD,
children, not "sons"
Literal Greek: tekna, not huious
even to them that believe on
His+ Name:
Which were born,
not of blood,
nor of the will of the flesh,
nor of the will of man, but of GOD.
John 1:12-13

To believe
on ... into ( Greek: eis ) ... His+ Name means to
trust that HE+ is Who+ HE+ says HE+ is.
It means to be absolutely
certain that HE+ will do what HE+ says HE+ will do .
It means to place our
very life into His+ Hands, trusting that HE+ will not destroy us when HE+ sees
how little we really are.
His+ Name is
WONDER- FILLED . . . for all who entrust themselves unto HIM+. Like a
good parent, HE+ will NEVER hurt his little one who turns to HIM+ when he has
been bad. Or when he has been hurt. Or when confused.
HE+ treasures us and
holds us dearly to HIM+ when we lower our defenseless defenses and become
helpless and vulnerable before HIM+.
We ARE helpless and
vulnerable anyways; only we alone do not know that.
HE+ is totally aware of
our frame; HE+ became like as we are, yet without sin.
For unto us a CHILD+ is born,
unto us a SON+ is given:
and the government shall be upon His+ Shoulder:
and His+ Name shall be called
Wonderful,
Counsellor,
The Mighty GOD,
The Everlasting FATHER,
The PRINCE+ of Peace.
Isaiah 9:6
Let Us
Pray:
Dear Heavenly FATHER, to
Whom all hearts are open, all desires known, and from Whom no secrets are hid .
. .
It is such a relief to know
that YOU know me , that I don't have to explain myself to YOU.
No, rather, YOU explain my
Self to me!
Thank you for calling me to
come be with YOU; how could you want me ? I have nothing to give YOU but my
Self, which doesn't seem to be worth much to others or even myself.
O dear SAVIOR+ ! If YOU+
want this Self of mine, YOU+ can have it. Change me any way YOU+ want. I come to
YOU+
Amen.
+ + +
Come unto ME+,
all ye that labor and are heavy laden,
and I+ will give you rest.
Take My+ yoke upon you, and learn of ME+;
for I+ am meek and lowly in
heart:
and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
For My+ yoke is easy, and My+ burden is light.
Matthew 11:28-30
