The Choice

When I make the choice
         to look up, 
         to gaze upon my God,
         to strengthen myself in all that He is,
         to seek direction from the King of Kings and Lord of Lords,
         and allow Him to comfort me in my sorrow, loss, or pain...

It is then that I choose Him.

Even though I do not understand...I choose Him,
And He opens the heavens with His Father's heart,
And gives out of His rich treasures,
Giving me grace for the circumstances of the day,
Strengthening me from the inside out,
Allowing me to see and know His love, His greatness, His goodness.
He goes ahead and prepares the way for victory...

And then He says, "Come and rest!"
"Come and rest in all I am for You.
 Allow Me to reveal My love to you.
 Allow My love to touch, mend, soothe, and heal all your pain, and aches of your loss."

"Allow Me to come into your garden and reveal My love to you."

"I am with you, I am for you,
 We belong to each other!"

The Seeds are Sprouting

The seeds are sprouting,
The seeds that were sown in love, in faithfulness, in perseverance...
Those seeds are sprouting.

The hours of travail in prayer for a loved one,
The seeds that were planted in childhood,
The seeds of simple trust in a big God,
The seeds of generosity and kindness,
Even the seed that was planted that you were unaware of planting...

They are sprouting...
All throughout the land.

My confidence in this declaration is in our gracious God.
Our gracious God, who out of His fullness we have received:
     grace upon grace,
     spiritual blessing upon spiritual blessing,
     favor upon favor,
    gift heaped upon gift.

This God who has heard our every prayer,
His hand is moving...
He has watered the fields with the abundance of His rain,
Showers have soaked the earth softening the clods of dirt,
He has fertilized the ground with His goodness, 
The tracks of His chariot wheels have dripped the oil of passionate love into the depths of hearts...

And now,,,
The seeds are sprouting throughout the land.
He is pouring out a visitation of His glory,
For He answers our prayers with amazing wonders,
Blossoms of joy are emerging, along with shouts of praise...

Yes, we celebrate,
And sing our song to You, our Gracious, Magnificent God../
Who helps us like a Father,
Caring and providing for our every need!!!

Psalms 65

Fountain of Grace

Your fountain of grace, God,
Is a delight to behold.
Longingly I gaze upon the splendor and beauty of this fountain as I observe the joy
    of those who have entered and partaken of its life.

"But you, my child, have been granted permission to enter also.
 Please come,
 I had you in mind when I poured out this fountain.
 I paid for this fountain with the price of My Beloved Son's blood.
 As He was bleeding, I saw you set free,
                                 I saw you at rest,
                                 I saw you joyful, with a sound mind,
                                 I saw you whole,
                                 I saw you passionately using your gifts and talents that I had given you...
 My heart burns with passion and longing for you to come and partake,
 My heart burns for you to enter and receive,
 Receive the abundance of My grace that is for you too!!!

 Let all the walls you have placed around yourself crumble...
 Let the box you put Me in, of what you thought I was like... disintegrate.
 Come and receive My love,
 My heart is passionately burning for you to obtain My grace...
 Come... the fountain flows freely...
 Come... the fountain flows abundantly...
 Come... the fountain flows with passionate desire for you...
 Come and receive."

An Ever-fresh Lily

An ever-fresh lily
Keeps blooming and blooming,
It keep blooming when the storms of harshness come,
It keeps blooming in and out of season.
It is an ever-fresh lily.

The Beloved calls you, His child, His ever-fresh lily.

The ever-fresh lily hears a song,
The song of its Maker,
The One who created it in all its beauty with intent and purpose.

This lily hears the song of the One who is delighting in him/her,
It hears the song of its Creator, the One, who is taking pleasure, delighting in its shape, brilliance
   and fragrance.

The song keeps the lily ever-fresh, ever blooming
Even in the storm, the valley, the off seasons.

The song lifts the lily's face to adore it's Maker,
To display more of its beauty,
Emit more of its fragrance.
The ever-fresh lily hears the song and knows purpose in life...

Your Maker desires for you to hear His song of delight,
His song of delight over you.
His song will bring you to be an ever-fresh lily, emitting a brilliance of fragrance and brightness for Him,
That keeps blooming and blooming in and out of season.
Ever-fresh!

Sandaled Feet

"How beautiful on the mountain are the sandaled feet of this one,
 bringing such good news..." Song of Songs 7:1

These are the feet of the beloved,
They are the feet that know,
They have been over this mountain path before...
These feet are not tender, offended with the stony path, the fallen trees, nor the muddy track,
No, they are quick,  light, they make the way look easy...

These feet are beautiful because:
They are child-like with delight, not fear trodden,
They are trusting with confidence, not stumbling along heavy with care,
They are gay, light, happy, not sad and worried...

These are the feet of one who looks up, not down,
Who is lead by an invisible strength.
These feet have purpose,
They display the beauty of one who is well cared for.

These feet carry a voice of good news.
They carry the voice of royalty,
Of the daughters and sons, of the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords.

They carry the beauty of promise...
                                      promise of provision,
                                      promise of care,
                                      promise of protection,
                                      promise of strength and energy,
                                      promise of hope and a destiny,
                                      promise of direction and wisdom,
                                      promise of a new creation,
                                      promise of unmeasured grace.

A promise of a Good God,
                     a Father's Help
                     a Beloved's Love.

"How beautiful on the mountain are the sandaled feet of this one, bringing such good news...
 you are truly royalty..."Song of Songs 7:1

His Words

The words that my Beloved speaks
Drip with honey,
Drip with desire and longing,
Drip with power and majesty.
They are encased in solid gold TRUTH.

They are not words spoken flippidly, or words of flatter,
Nor are they spoken without intent of fulfillment,
They are not spoken in order to impress, boast, or with self motive...
No they are spoken with intense desire and longing to bring me to wholeness, to fullness.

My Beloved has all of the power of heaven behind His words,
His actions of suffering love, back His words!

His words are not fairy-tale bluff...
Something never to be realized or experienced.

He speaks words of love to me with true intent and desire.
He speaks words of hope to me showing me what He can see.
He speaks words of peace to me out of His unlimited knowledge, power, and love.

Yes, His words pierce and heal,
But they all bring me to freedom, wholeness, and fullness.

Words encased in solid gold TRUTH...
Words from His Daddy heart...
Words of love
