"Let's dangle our feet and just laugh"

Image
Come my sweet, sit with me at creeks edge. Listen to the water gently tumbling over the pebbles in the stream. Let's climb up to the bridge and dangle our feet over the edge, swing them to and fro and enjoy the freedom of just being together. Cast aside all the cares in life. Look at the fish swimming below in the crystal clear water. Just take a big deep breath and smell the heady aroma of the forest floor.  Look at the doe and her fawn grazing in the nearby meadow along the forest edge.  See how she keeps a protective eye on her little one? That is how I watch you.  Do you know you are my treasure and the one my heart loves? Do you know that I always have time to listen to you?  I'm going to be revealing many things to you that I've been longing for you to know. But for right now let's just sit here, and for just these few moments dangle our legs, sing a silly song and laugh at the pure joy of it all! Your Father who loves you Scripture reference...

His Magnificence and Goodness

Image
In Flight Father I cannot begin to understand how magnificent you are, the birds in flight , each one so different. The details beautiful and unique; every beak, feather, and color combination, not one like the other. How is it possible to see and understand every situation, hear every cry and still hold the stars and planets in  place? You hear and give attention to every voice speaking.You are not overwhelmed by all the cries of your children, or the nations that rage. Mankind is killing while you are knitting the infants inside their mama's womb. You overwhelm me with your love. It's a kind of love I've never known before I met You. Let their be fresh, new beginnings in the world today, oh God. Let all mankind begin seeing what's always been ~ Your goodness ! It's your goodness we need eyes for, it's your wonderful beautiful and loving goodness that draws us near, giving us the desire to turn from all that's behind and accept your unfailing mercy. Let ...

The Sparrow

Image
The Sparrow God made so many beautiful birds! I have feeders for seed and nectar, birdbaths in several gardens and plants that provide seed and nectar that draws them to our gardens. We also have put out bird houses for them to nest in and raise their young. One jog around the place makes it plain to see "Bird lovers live here!" So how is it that I could march myself out to the bluebird house, open the door,  and angrily fling the nest to the ground saying, "You sparrows cannot build a nest in my bluebirds house?" Then looking to the ground I see 3 eggs... "Now my beautiful bluebirds can come build their nest." A short time after this event took place I looked out the window and low and behold another sparrow was perched on top of the bluebird house...only this time I heard the words of Jesus "I don't just love the bluebirds in my world... did you know that two sparrows are sold for a copper coin and not one of them falls t...

Scattered Seed

Scattered Seed Read Deuteronomy 28:1-8 Obey me and I will raise you above the circumstance. I will pour out my blessing and you will be overtaken with my goodness.  When you hear my voice, turn toward me - I want to tell you secrets that belong to only my children. Scatter, Scatter, Scatter Obedience to me will take you in and out of the city and into the country, a beautiful land that stretches out far before your natural vision. Plant this land with seeds taken from my hand. I will bless what you sow. There is no shortage of seeds for the crop I've placed inside your heart. So let go, toss them in the air. Do you feel the wind? It will carry your seeds to the four corners of the earth. The more you cast, the more I'll place in your basket, it will never be empty! Sometimes enemies will rise up in this land, but do not fear. I will defeat them right before your eyes. They cannot steal the seeds you've scattered, nor  keep them from sprouting. I have promi...

Gaze and Praise

Image
Gaze Into My Eyes Sing Praises Read 2 Chronicles 20:12-21 When your life sings the praises of who I am, I will send my armies to fight off every enemy that wants to overtake you. When you are at that place of overlooking the wilderness - cry out - sing - praise - worship and press through! I promise the storm that's coming just over the horizon will be called backup into the heavens, the skies will clear and your heart will be lifted to such heights. The wall cloud that was descending with all it's funnels will not touch your ground because I am there and it is holy ground. You are mine, my cherished bride and when your eyes gaze into mine, my love is reflected and all those who turn to look will see the love that I your bridegroom cherishes and protects. They will want to follow you right into my kingdom of safety and power so they too can overcome all that wants to overtake their life, will and emotions. Keep your focus, my voice will lead and gu...

Launch Out

Image
Launch Out Into the Deep Read Luke 5:1-11 What is it about Jesus? When we recognize He is near - everything changes - life springs forth in newness and love flows. Minding the task before me I feel a nudge - a little distraction so I ask "Is that you Lord?" Before I know it I am immersed in something so big, so exciting, so NOT of this world and unlike anything I've ever experienced. YIELD, YIELD, YIELD! Open up and do not let the Jesus of "OUR DAY" pass you by. He is speaking to you! Have you heard the story of the fishermen at the lake who were  cleaning up their equipment - (an everyday chore to be ready for  the next work day.)When a man named Simon looks up and sees a  crowd of people and a man climbing into his boat. The guy asks Simon to take him out from shore just a little. Then He sits down and begins to teach the crowd from the boat. When He finishes He says to Simon "launch out into the deep " and let down your nets ...

There is a clearing

There is a clearing Exodus 14:14 "The Lord will fight for you and you shall hold your peace" In the wilderness of the beast there is a clearing up ahead. Just keep walking, don't doubt or slow down. Don't look at what is chasing you. I am the Lord your God who never changes or leaves you abandoned or alone. I will accomplish for you what others have thought to be impossible.  Keep looking ahead, I will watch in front of you and behind. I will bring you into a safe place. A place where others stand amazed declaring "Surely the Lord is on her side." My goodness will draw them to repentance and they will journey with you, crossing through the sea on dry land because I have sent the wind from the East to blow all through the night preparing the passage for you to walk through. I am chasing your enemies to come close behind you…Don't look behind! The road is ready and guarded by angels. I know you hear  the enemy with all his horses and ch...
