Come and dine. John 21:12.

This morning the voice of the Beloved of our soul is heard giving us His invitation.

“Children,” He asks, “have ye any meat?”

We answer, “No; of ourselves we have nothing but hunger and starvation. O God, we cannot feed ourselves!”

Then it is that His own sweet voice replies, “Come and dine!”
