Wooed into His Presence

Image
I was wooed into His presence this morning As I entered the upstairs room My prayer room I put on worship music Then inside I felt drawn to turn down the lights And go lay on the bed There are times our Father wants to just be alone with us To love and speak into our hearts This is one of His most precious gifts to us Here is the song that wooed me into His arms this morning Enjoy His presence Blessings of Peace  and His sweet love Terry Zephaniah 3:17 "The LORD your God in your midst, The Mighty One, will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing" Terry

Anchored

Image
I am anchored in you You are calling me to greater things Yes You are anchored in Me  And I am calling you to greater things Don't resist the tethering Stay Still Don't pull or struggle to get free I am your freedom I am your stability I am your all in all  Nothing will ever satisfy your longings Apart from M e Your deepest longing is for Me You see child I've anchored your boat to keep you still To keep you from all the distractions you've been facing Take in the fresh air Breathe deeply and freely and unrestricted Let the gentle waves rock you like a baby in his mothers arms Listen to the water  G ently slap against the side of your boat Let go of all resistance And look right here Do you see Me Do you hear Me You are anchored in Me   Tethered for a season So rest Breathe in the fresh smell of heavenly breezes And know this sweet one I will pull up the anchor at just the ri

The Iris The Hollyhocks and Lilies

The roaring waves came crashing over me But my God is the breaker of them all Does your soul long for Him *"The Lord on high is mightier and more glorious than the noise of many waters..." He comes like a slow soaking rain that waters my soul  Yes  He waters my soul and brings new life into my whole being Look  The Iris  The Hollyhocks  And lilies  Are sprouting up through the tares of life  Crowding out the stealers of peace These tares will not take me over    My Jesus  He is mighty to save  My God  He is the redeemer and giver of life  Sweet life  He is my helper  And will carry every burden I place upon His shoulders  His promises are sure  *"The Lord on high is mightier and more glorious than the noise of many waters; yes than the mighty breakers and waves of the sea." He stops them from washing me out to deep dark places, He carries me from the shoreline to safety He sets my feet on

So Now What?

So Now What? The lights all over my neighborhood are no longer lit up. The garlands and mistletoe have disappeared, and all the santa's, snowmen and glitter are gone! So Now What?                                                          A new resolve to live a little different, take off a few pounds, or maybe a fresh commitment to God, prayer, and to put away focussing on me, my life and all the I have before me?  I heard a speaker/Pastor say last night that we need to STOP trying to carry what God says is His, or something like that. And in order to actually push the wheelbarrow without it tipping over we need to not fill it so full!  Life is better when balanced! He also said we have to keep moving and actually got on a bicycle and demonstrated how hard it was to balance oneself without peddling and moving forward. We were not designed to NOT move, to do NOTHING.  God knows where each one of His children are in their life and no matter where I am o

I Don't Need Perfection

I don't need perfection All I need is a willing heart An open heart A heart prepared to receive love "For as the heavens are higher than the earth..." "My ways are higher than your ways" "...as the rain and snow come down from heaven, and do not return there without watering the earth..." I come to you I will water your seeds and they will sprout Will you trust me? Will you take me at my word? Close your eyes Quiet your spirit I want you to hear the sounds of heaven  Where the trees of the field clap their hands And the mountains and the hills break forth into shouts of joy before you Is your heart willing? Will you open up your heart to love? Is your heart prepared to receive my love? Listen Listen Can you hear me? "Fear not, you will not be put to shame; neither feel humiliated, For you will not be disgraced;" I don't need perfection All I need is a willing he

I Watched as your Eyes Opened

This is the day that My God has given to me Full of surprises and challenges But also time to rest in Him "It's through drawing near to me and resting in my arms That you will draw strength and confidence For all I place before you" "I know your thoughts are many and you are easily pulled  In the morning hours to get busy " I know too though That you hear me every morning  Whispering "I'm here" I want to pray over you and bless you, child of mine Come up here and lean into me" I have much to give you for todays adventures  I watched as your eyes opened and you stirred in your bed I've been here just waiting for you to respond to my voice "Come" "Come away with me" And I will tell you many things which you do not know. "Come"  Run into my arms of love and let me fill you up Many will have need of what I'm about to give to you So take from me

I Will Turn My Face Toward The Light

I will Turn My Face Toward The Light "Light is sown like seed  for the righteous..." (Psalm 98:1) "God, tell me what is it to be righteous?" He said "Have you chosen me?" "Do you choose to live by My standards?" "It's like a seed  Covered in darkness pushed down into the earth and covered up Soon it will die Soon it will push through Soon it will sprout new life  Soon it will turn it's face toward the light" Psalm 98:11  "Light is sown like seed for the righteous..." So let's think about this...  Light  Always is used as a positive symbol in God's word for Good Fortune, victory, j ustice  and r ighteousness*           Light sown will produce Good Fortune Victory    Justice                    Righteousness All these things are sown for you and me We who belong to Him Oh God help me to realize the depth of this truth and to not get d
