Broad Place Just one call out to our God and He will save us! Cry out to your God because when you do He hears from heaven and sends out the troops. When the battle is raging, He waits When death is near, He waits When floods of ungodliness bring fear, He waits When surrounded by sorrows, He waits Cry out child, Cry out In my distress I cried out to My God And when my cry reached His ears...

I was acutely aware that hers had a different smell than mine. She really liked the way mine smelled, but when I offered it to her and her husband they backed off with hands raised against me replying an emphatic "NO"   I was awaken by Russell kissing my cheek and I said to him "Not everyone wants to smell like us," in my heart I could hear the Spirit whispering  "You have the smell of Christ."

Only those who desire to know their creator and believe in Him, will actually put on that sweet smelling perfume.  It's the scent of heaven that permeates the room whenever we, His daughters enter. It's the scent that poured out of Mary's alabaster jar, as

                                                                   Your Pearls Your Pearls are hidden in your heart.  Protect them! Just as the oyster  is protection,  so is your heart.   It will protect my Word. No one can pry it open and steal it from you. It is my priceless gift, given to you. Don't be careless,  allowing it to fall and be trampled. It has great value.  That's why I've hidden it. Placing it only in the hearts of those I trust and called before the foundations of the world. You are one of them! One that will carry it,   protecting it with love and commitment. I will tell you who to share it with. So listen intently. Train yourself to have an ear toward my voice that calls. This training will shut out all other voices that vie for your attention. You are a gift to those around you. But not to all that are near. I will guide you to the ones who are prepared. The ones prepared to receive my truth

The Finished You   Jeremiah 18:1-4 The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying:"Arise and go down to the potter's house, and there I will cause you to hear My words." Then I went down to the potter's house, and there he was, making something at the wheel. And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter; so he made it again into another vessel, as it seemed good to the potter to make.  Looking into the mirror I see all the imperfections on my face; the brown spots that have developed over the years, the lines and bumps, and the uneven color of my complexion. And every morning I go to work at covering up these imperfections with my miracle working "concealer." After a little dab here and a little dab there "voila" they almost disappear. One morning as I was applying the concealer I heard the Lord speak to my heart saying "It's the blood of Jesus that covers over
