Part of Speech: verb

Isa 61:3 (AMP) To grant [consolation and joy] to those who mourn in Zion--to give them an ornament (a garland or diadem) of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, the garment [expressive] of praise instead of a heavy, burdened, and failing spirit--that they may be called oaks of righteousness [lofty, strong, and magnificent, distinguished for uprightness, justice, and right standing with God], the planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified.

Isa 55:1-2 Wait and listen, everyone who is thirsty! Come to the waters; and he who has no money, come, buy and eat! Yes, come, buy [priceless, spiritual] wine and milk without money and without price [simply for the self-surrender that accepts the blessing]. [Revelation 21:6, 7; 22:17] Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread, and your earnings for what does not satisfy? Hearken diligently to Me, and eat what is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness [the profuseness of spiritual joy]. [Jeremiah 31:12-14]

John 6:27 (AMP) Stop toiling and doing and producing for the food that perishes and decomposes [in the using], but strive and work and produce rather for the [lasting] food which endures [continually] unto life eternal; the Son of Man will give (furnish) you that, for God the Father has authorized and certified Him and put His seal of endorsement upon Him.

Rev. 3: 20 (WNT) I am now standing at the door and am knocking. If any one listens to My voice and opens the door, I will go in to be with him and will feast with him, and he shall feast with Me.

Song 2:4 (Cev) You led me to your banquet room and showered me with love.

I have a table prepared and waiting. It is a table of My Love. A table of My provision. It is a table of fellowship and shared interest. Do you not know I am interested in all that interests you? And I desire for you to seek after my interests too! I long to share my heart, and feed you dainty morsels of choice meats. Babies cannot eat meat. So I meet and feed them where they are. But you My Love, I invite you inside My private chambers to dine in intimacy with Me. Will you step aboard my royal train of triumph and ride with me to the banqueting house? I will put you on full display before those who have criticized and mocked and set snares for you. They will gawk and gasp as I shower you with My Love and brush away the ashes from your face and adorn you with my Bridal Crown. They shall gnash in envy but they shall not touch you, for you are safely tucked in my arms! Do not be bashful and hang your head as if you are not worthy. Do not hesitate just outside the door. Come boldly to the Throne Room of Grace and let Me escort you to your special place and shower you with My Love.
