Great is the LORD, and Greatly to be Praised. Psalm 48:1

God is great. God is not only great, but He is the only one who is great. God does not tell us that He is the greatest, because that would mean someone else was great and God was just greater. God has no competition to His greatness. He alone is great and that settles the matter of greatness.

God is great and He will always be great. No one will ever beat Him, outsmart Him, or outthink Him. No one will ever take away His crown, or dethrone Him. God’s greatness will never fade, it will never be weakened, or diminish.

But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. Ephesians 2:4-7

Because God is great, it means that His love is great, and He loves us more than anyone could ever love us. He greatly loves us today, not because we are great, but because He is great. His great love, loved us when we were in sin, in darkness, and in spiritual death.

What does His great love mean to us? It means that we, who are not great, can pour out upon Him great praise, great worship, great thankfulness, great obedience, great trust, and great devotion.

Romans 1:20

Look deep, deep into nature,

and then you will understand everything better.
~Albert Einstein~

For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.

IT IS TIME ...

When joyful and happy occasions abound it is time to Praise the Lord.

When demanding and complicated issues arise it is the time to seek the Lord.

When concerns occupy your mind it is time to ask the Lord.

In the choices you are considering it is time to follow the Lord.

In the soft, gentle moments that are sweet it is time to see the Lord.

When you feel friendless, abandoned it is time to know the Lord.

When you are listening it is time to hear the Lord.

In the times you are not confident and insecure it is time to believe the Lord.

When you are full of activity it is time to serve the Lord.

When you are waiting for an answer it is time to trust the Lord.

When you have been wounded and upset it is time to touch the Lord.

When your circumstances have been delightful it is time to adore the Lord.

For in all your moments, the Lord is there in goodness, in kindness and in love.

Acts 17:27, Psalm 22:26, Psalm 34:1, Deuteronomy 4:29, 1 Chronicles 16:10-11

I Remember

Sitting here looking at the meadow you painted many flowers for my pleasure. As I look to the river filled with awesome creatures that live there, the peace that surrounds me I wonder about the future. Deep inside a stirring, fear, hesitations, then I start to remember things you have whispered:

I remember the day you called my name and touched my heart. Lifted my head and took away the pain.

You loved me then and you love me now.

I remember when your Word first came alive in my heart and lit up the eyes of my understanding.

You loved me then and you love me now.

I remember when life was unfair and I cried out to you in rage, pain and suffering and you held me close and gave me comfort and peace.

You loved me then and you love me now.

I remember when I was betrayed by those that I trusted I thought I would never recover yet one touch of your love, one word of knowledge, and just one healing vision set me free.

You loved me then and you love me now.

I remember when the enemy of my soul stood before me and I stood firm and repeated your Word that I had in my heart for my victory. I knew then that I was becoming more like you just as you promised.

You loved me then and you love me now.

I remember when I felt the overflowing water of your love saturating me and I knew then that I would be made whole.

You loved me then and you love me now.

I remember when I thought I was a failure and missed my calling. Yet I felt your mighty hand take mine and pick me up and set me upon the rock.

You loved me then and your love me for me is steadfast.

I remember my love for you and that you loved me first. I remember your thoughts of me outnumber the grains of sand.

You loved me then and you love me still and call me beloved.

Help me remember our history together and to be always aware that your love for me is everlasting.

Stand up and Praise the Lord

Stand up and praise the Lord God of Israel with a very loud voice.


You will see the enemies destroy themselves.

Rise up early – Let everything that has breath Praise The Lord…

Listen to me, O Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem, and all who call upon the name of the Lord, put your trust in the Lord your God and you will be established. Put your trust in His prophets and you will succeed.

Appoint those who sing to the Lord and those who praise him go before the army and give thanks to the Lord, for His Lovingkindness is everlasting.

The sound of praise on our lips for the almighty God will go before us will stop the enemy in his tracks and the people of God will overcome. The battle is the Lords watch and see the works of the Lord in your midst.

Taken from 2 Chronicles 20:19-21

When you fall down...

I was listening to someone who was relating a message from a friend: her friend was down; her life was going nowhere and didn’t know what to do. She was told to meditate on her father’s works (her father was successful in his career) and to remember whose daughter she was.

Just like us, when we are down and do not know what to do, we need to mediate on our Father’s work. We can start with the mountains, streams, flowers, sun, moon and stars, the Word, many things big and small. We need to remember who we belong to. As a woman of God, my strengths, creativity and power comes from the Almighty God who is my Father.

You will not know Who you are until you know WHOSE you are!!!

 I am my Father’s Daughter

I can move mountains

 I am sister to the Anointed One

I can heal the sick

 I am a daughter of the King

I can seize opportunities

 I belong to Jesus

I can walk in Victory

 I was bought with a costly price

I can comfort those that mourn

 I drink from the Fountain

I can rest in green pastures

 I am a child of God

I can raise the dead

I belong to Jesus

I can step on serpents

 I am my Father’s Daughter

I can walk on water

 the Holy Spirit guides me

I can walk in Forgiveness

I drink from the Fountain

I can sing in prison

 I am a daughter of the King

I can seek Justice

the Holy Spirit resides in me

I can walk in Love

 I am a child of the Promise

I have all I need

 I am redeemed by the Blood of the lamb

Forever His Child I Am

When we discovered who we are in Christ we can believe the gracious, generous loving-kindness of God and can see the open arms of our Father just waiting to give us a hug.

In Loving Memory

My favorite aunt her name is Mary, full of mirth, full of merry

She took us for drives to the park and to Fiesta. Always on the go no time for siestas.

She taught us to laugh, to play for the camera.

To town we would go,

Calling her “aunt” was a no-no

And discreetly walk 20 paces back.

In case some guy would offer his hand.

My favorite aunt her name is Mary, full of mirth, full of merry

She took us for drives to the park and to Fiesta. Always on the go no time for siestas.

Encouraging she would be “Follow your dreams” she would cry,

She gave us a reason to have a dream and not be afraid to try.

She would show us love with a smile and a wink of her eye.

My favorite aunt her name is Mary, full of mirth, full of merry

She took us for drives to the park and to Fiesta. Always on the go no time for siestas.

She is now at peace away to a new life; new adventures and no more strife.

She has no more tears for the Lord has erased all her fears.

Sorrows multiply like drops of rain, drowning in the midst of the pain,

Left in the Masters hand to all who mourn He will give beauty for ashes,

Grace for despair, gladness for mourning, strength for fear.

My favorite aunt her name is Mary, she was always full of mirth, filled with merry.
