Who Can Satisfy?

Who can Satisfy? Who could ever be more faithful and true?

The water of Jesus Satisfies;
I will NOT dig at Artificial Reservoirs.

The Bread of Jesus Makes full my Hunger;
I will NOT Settle for Crumbs.

The Banqueting Table of Jesus is Extravagant;
I will NOT eat at the World’s Table.

The Presence of Jesus is Fullness of Joy;
I will NOT search for a Manmade Cure

The Peace of Jesus Passes Understanding;
I will NOT search elsewhere to Find Peace.

The Will of Jesus is Perfect;
I will NOT find a more Perfect Design.

The Wisdom of Jesus is Flawless;
I will NOT give consideration to the World’s Point of View.

The Grace of Jesus is Sufficient;
I will NOT settle for Temporal Benefits.

The Redemption of Jesus is Complete;
I will NOT pursue another Protector.

The Covenant of Jesus is Certain;
I will NOT believe another Lovers Promises.

The Provision of Jesus Meets my Needs;
I will NOT be in Pursuit for More.

The Kingdom of Jesus is Unshakable;
I will NOT find a more Trustworthy Place to Stand.

The Smile of Jesus is Enough;
I will NOT seek the Approval of Others.

The Life of Jesus is Glorious;
I will NOT look for another Fountain to Drink from.

The Return of Jesus is Sure;
I will NOT live anxiously. I will Trust in Jesus.

The Blood of Jesus Redeems my Soul;
there is no other Name under or above Heaven.

Jesus is my Rock, my Shelter, my very own,
Blessed Redeemer who Reigns upon the Throne.

You Are What You Read

When Christians truly spend time in the word…then I would say that this is one of the reasons we as a group of people shine with God’s Truth.

You were made to House the Fullness of God…Let your Light Shine!!

You are what you read….I have heard that over the years…

As I pondered that statement, I remembered advice given in a writing class: “To be a good writer, you must read everything you can and especially the kind of books that you want to write. As you read, the style, the voice of the author becomes layered with yours. It saturates your very being as you write, sleep, and act.” If you follow that train of thought, when you read good material on a regular basis -- like the Bible – you become saturated with God’s Word. You will write, speak, and act out His voice.

Is this too simple? Maybe? But it is a very good start towards finding the truth.

What have you been reading lately?

Pure In Heart

Make me pure  in heart
Make it faithful and true
May my prayers be as incense
Rising to your throne
May my life be pleasing to you
Make me pure in heart
I will run to you...
Under the shadow of your wings
I will find a hiding place
In a dry and weary land
there is a spring flowing to refresh me
I will lift my hands to you as long as I live
I have searched and can find no love like you
I will run to you...
I will find a hiding place
Under the shadow of your wings
I will sing and dance for joy
Fill me with your grace to see the wonder of you
No one can touch my heart like you do
Make me pure in heart
Make it faithful and true

FOR GOD...

For God, who said, "Light shall shine out of darkness"

He has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of

God's glory in the face of Jesus Christ.

Now we have this treasure in clay jars, so that this extraordinary

power may be from God and not from us.

2 Corinthians 4:6-7



YOU WERE MADE TO HOUSE THE FULLNESS OF GOD!

    LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE!

God Whispers

God Whispers:


Your life is a song I am writing, words of poetry fitting together, rhyming, and building to a crescendo of praise.

I delight to sing a melody made just for you. Can you hear it? It changes as you change; soft and lovely when you are contemplating my wonders; low, comforting when you face sorrows. The music at times can be loud, triumphant when you overcome; melodic when you serve in obedience and faith. Remember I am present and fill your space when you praise me.

Open your eyes and see the wonders I would show you.

Open your ears and I will whisper your name.

Be ready to follow when I lead and be ready to stop when I call you to service.

Keep your focus on me. I treasure and delight in you.

Please know, precious are my thoughts of you, they are innumerable! You could not count them; they outnumber the grains of sand. (There are approx 10,000 grains of sand in 1/8 tsp) Meditate on that my child.

Response:

I will proclaim and declare that God is Good! He brings joy to all the earth. There is none like my God.

You are awesome, your mighty deeds are known in the world. My life is in your hands. You keep me from stumbling. You have captured my heart and my life will never be the same. God heard my cry and my sins I have repented.

All I am is because of you and I give back to you all I am.

Praise God who did not ignore my prayer and did not withdraw his unfailing love from me.

You are my Hiding place; you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance.
