How beautiful are the dancing feet of the rescued ones
As they climb the mountain...of their journey.
These feet  dance because they are free.
These feet are quick and willing to respond...
They respond out of joy, out of purpose, out of freedom.
These feet are not trudging along, barely making it,
No, they are child-like in nature, with gaity,
But experienced with a confident step.

These feet are beautiful to observe.
They are not strong in their own strength...
But they go forth in the strength of the One, whose footsteps they have stepped into...
The rescued ones have stepped into the supernatural gait of grace, peace, and favor of the One,
Who walks with them!

Yes, dear one,
Your actions, your faith, your joy as you step into the footsteps of the One who rescued you...
Is the poetry of God...His very handiwork...

"Yes, my darling beloved, even your feet are beautiful." Song of Songs 7

Always, He Has Cared for Me

The Eternal One is my Shepherd,
He cares for me always...

Always, He has cared for me.

Before the foundations of the world
As He thought me into being
As He held me in His heart and delighted in my specialness,

Always, He has cared for me.

As He planted me on earth
Carefully providing, and determining my going and coming...
Loving me unceasingly,
Protecting, opening and closing doors, providing treasures for me to discover,

Always, He has cared for me.

Pursing me with His faithfulness,
Leading me to Himself,
Into the arms of His Son, and joining me to Him...

Always, He has cared for me.

As He taught me about His kingdom
Allowing me to discover who I was...His daughter,
And who He is...my Father...
Graciously giving me His Spirit
For a constant companion, a constant help, a constant source of wisdom and strength,

Always, He has cared for me.

Providing me rest in green pastures,
Restoration in streams of cool waters,
Soothing my fears,
Renewing... transforming...
Continuing to steer me off the hard, worn path of worry, fear, unbelief, and strife,
To a road where truth and righteousness echo His name,

Always, He has cared for me.

Even in the darkness of the storm
He brings my heart to rest,
Reminding me of His presence, His help

Always, He has cared for me.

Laviously spreading a table before me
Of provision and protection
Even when those unwelcome inhabitants invade...
He provides and rescues...
Filling my cup again and again with His grace,

Always, He has cared for me.

Always, He will care for me
Whereever I go...wherever I am...

The Eternal One is a good, good Sheperd!!!

Psalms23

Revealing Truth

O Father,
What is the truth that is needed to be released
Into my soul at this moment
For freedom to reign?

Is it the truth that the Anointed One lives inside me
And the same power that raised Christ from the dead is alive in me?

Is it the truth that there is no condemnation for me now
Because I am in Christ Jesus?

Is it the truth that the Father desires for my soul to prosper in all things
Even in this difficulty at this moment?
Is it the truth that He has good plans and abundant grace for me?

Is it the truth that I am dearly loved, exceedingly blessed, and highly favored?

Is it the truth that because I am His
That as He is, so am I?

Do I know that no weapon formed against me can prosper
Because greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world?

My soul needs to know that I am royalty,
A daughter of a King
With provision from an open heaven.

It needs to know that the favor and glory of God is surrounding me...

My soul needs to know that my God hears my cry, knows my voice,
And is even acquainted with my sigh.
Yes, every detail of my life is known by my Father, my God.

Yes, my soul needs to know that God cares, God is fighting, God is moving!

But most of all,
My soul needs to know that it is the beloved one, the rescued one, the favored one...

As my soul embraces the truth
Light comes bursting through...
Freedom comes...
Joy rises...
Peace reigns...

Thank you Jesus for the privilege of being Yours!

But heaven sees,
And the angels are in awe and wonder,

Proverbs 11:10.

The Heart of the Father

Run, my friend, into the heart of your Father.
This is a heart that cares,
This is a heart that know all things,
This is a heart that is always there for you,
This is a heart that never gives-up on you,
This is a heart that has given Himself for you...

Hide yourself, my friend, in His heart.
You are safe there,
Safe from the accusations, the tormenting fears, the condemnation of the enemy...

In His heart, you will discover strength and comfort.
His heart understands, It has experienced your temptations, it has felt your pain,
His heart has experienced it all,
And has overcome in victory!!!

His heart says, "Rise up!"
"I have overcome, I am with you, I have paid the price,
 I have already established your provision for this need, for your every need."

His heart infuses hope!
It infuses a hope that is anchored to the mercy seat
The mercy seat that His Son, Jesus, has gone in before us
And prepared with His crimson blood.

His heart, that infuses hope
That is anchored, fastened to the mercy seat,
The love seat that is sprinkled with the blood of Jesus, His Son, the Lamb of God...

His heart, that infuses hope,
An unshakable hope
Found here...
In the heart of your Father,
Who loves you completely, perfectly, magnificently...

Run to His heart...
There you will be safe!

He Does Not Disappoint

I will never be disappointed believing in You, Jesus,
I will never be disappointed believing in Your Word,
I will never be disappointed believing in Your promises,
Oh, I will never be disappointed believing You are good, You are able, You are strong!

I will never be disappointed believing You love me,
That I am Your chosen one,
Your beloved, the one You take delight in...

I will never be disappointed waiting for Your best...
I will never be disappointed seeking Your wisdom, your path, Your advise...

I will never be disappointed resting in Your finished work,
Your finished work at the cross,
That brings me to victory, peace, joy and wholeness...

I will never be disappointed loving You, Jesus,
With all my heart, soul, and mind.

I will never be disappointed believing in You, Jesus, because You do not disappoint!

"Everyone who trusts in Him will never be disappointed." Romans 10:11

The Sound

There is a sound that the Father wants us to hear
It is the sound of joy, the sound of happiness, the sound of laughter
That comes straight from His heart, His being, His mouth to mine...

The Father wants me to hear His delight.
He wants me to hear the song of joy He is singing...
Singing to me,
The song He is singing about His delight and pleasure that He finds in me...
His song shouts His desire to bless abundantly, protect entirely, and provide profusely.
Yes, His song sings of His goodness...

If I could hear this song
And believe the words...were really about me...today...at this moment
If I could hear them in the storm and chaos of life...
How different my thoughts would be,
How great my praise, my laughter,
How free I would be of those intruders of anxiety, worry, frustration and offense.

Holy Spirit,
Give me ears to hear this sound
And a heart that believes it as Truth.

Yes, Father,
When my eyes are on your beautiful face
And my ears are tuned in to hear your voice,
The happy sound begins to sing...
