Comforting Love

Father, Your comforting love
Just wants to hug me and make everything better.

Your comforting love
Engulfs me
Telling me
You understand my thoughts, my emotions, my circumstances.

Your comforting love
Breaks through the pain, the grief, the sadness, the disappointment...
And soothes my heart with peace.

Your comforting love
Reprints the picture...
It erases the gloom, the ashes, the dirt,
And brings the sunshine.

Thank You Father, for Your comforting love
That comes...
Even when I can't give anything in return.

Your comforting love comes and holds me tight.
Til my ears hear the heartbeat of Your heart of love
As it softly whispers,
"I love you...I always will,
 I am here...everything is going to be OK.

A Heavenly Perspective

A Heavenly perspective

In the midst of "bad news, sickness, missed appointments, disappointments, unpaid bills, pink slips, death, clogged drains, arguments, misunderstanding, rage, panic.....

Is very difficult to maintain.

A Heavenly perspective in earthly chaos takes effort, abundant grace, and a renewed mind.

Yes, this is the reason the Savior came to earth, suffered and died, rose victoriously...
He came so He could lead us to victory...even in the midst...

A heavenly perspective:
 Believes the Word that was spoken and written.
 Gazes upon Jesus
 Sees as the Father sees
 Hopes and trusts
 And then
Hopes and trusts some more...

A heavenly perspective:
 Opens the heavens
 Sees and expects the blessing
 Releases possibilities
 Knows a battle is raging but is determined to win victoriously.

A heavenly perspective results in a different outcome...
An outcome of perseverance, trust, joy, peace.

A heavenly perspective is possible,
When we call upon our Helper,
Lean on our Beloved,
And saturate our minds in the Truth...

The fragrance of this perspective is
Peace, joy, health, rest...
Contrast that to the odor of just the earthly, seen perspective
Worry, anxiety, negativity...

Lord I need Your help to have a heavenly perspective!
