Looking to the Glory

Looking to the Glory
watercolor by Dorothy Jean Bryars

How could it be,
most precious
Passover Lamb of God,
slain before the foundation
of the world?
Your body and blood was
enough to forgive my sins
and restore me back 
to fellowship with God.

How could it be Lord Jesus?
Death could not hold you
in that grave.
You arose from the dead,
and ascended back to
the Father, where you
now live to make
intercession for me.


Eternal God who spoke the world into being,
How could it be?
You stooped down to my level,
looked into my eyes
and said,
“My child I love you, and it was
for you I died.”

And in my heart, Truth whispers—
Love’s full redemption price was paid
in full through the grace of
 our Lord Jesus Christ.
Our loving Kinsman Redeemer. 

Have a Blessed Easter as you look to the glory
of the Cross and Resurrection. 

For God says, “At just the right time, I heard you,,
On the day of salvation, I helped you.” 
Indeed the right time is now. 
Today  is the day of salvation. 2 Corinthians 6:2 



Stop Doubting and Believe

I’ve always appreciated the honesty of Thomas. It mattered not when he heard the reports of others who had seen Jesus face to face the morning he rose from the grave. This doubting disciple wanted proof, and declared he would not believe unless he could see the nail prints in … Continue reading →

A Stronghold in Trouble

If clouds are the dust of your feet,
help me lift my arms in praise,
while the grace of tears pour out,
cleansing the dust around my heart.

If clouds are the dust of your feet,
help me climb the mountain with you…
hidden from the eyes of man,
 yet seen through the eyes of my Father.

When clouds are the dust of your feet,
help me remember,
no whirlwind or storm can ever
separate us from your love.

The Lord has His way in the whirlwind and the storm,
and clouds are the dust of His feet.
(Nahum 1: 3b)

The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble,
and He knows those
who take refuge in Him. (Nahum 1:7)

 

 

 




 

 

A Crown of Thorns

They placed a crown of thorns
on His head, forcing Him to carry
His cross up Golgotha’s hill.

The perfect Son of God, cocooned
in human flesh; nailed to the cruel
Cross of Calvary.

 “If He’s the Son of God, they mocked,
let Him come down and save Himself!

Jesus could have come down that day, yet He chose to stay and
 laid down His life for you and me. Then as his life’s blood ebbed away,
the Lamb of God cried out, “It is finished! Father into Your hands,
I commit my spirit.

Look beyond Calvary’s tree to the veil in the temple, torn from top to bottom,
making it possible for you and me to enter the Holy of Holies… 
The Most Holy Place of the Living God.

He descended into hell. But wait! On the third day, Jesus rose from the grave. Now with the Godhead’s Glory fully returned,

Jesus appeared to the disciples and more than 500 witnesses in His glorified body.

Forty days later, Jesus ascended back to heaven and left the message to go and make disciples.

The Son of God has come down to man,
revealed the love of the Father…
made forgiveness and restoration possible.
One day we shall know Him as He is.
We will gaze upon His face,
In the place He has prepared…
A place in the Father’s eternal house.
A new heaven and earth…
No more tears, pain, sorrow, or death. 


Who Am I?

Not who I am,
but Whose I am.
I belong to the great I Am,
Immortal,
Invisible,
Eternal,
Only Wise God.

Not what I’ve done,
but what He’s done.
For God so loved,
He gave grace
and forgiveness
through Jesus Christ,
Son and Savior.

Not where I live,
but where my eternal home is.
Not this is my home,
but heaven is my home;
and earth
my
dressing room. 

Not what I want,
but what He wants.
That I love Him with all my heart,
 soul,
mind,
and strength,
and my neighbor as myself.

Not what I will,
but what He wills.
Not my reflection,
but His glory…
shining through
broken places
of my life.

But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God. John 1: 12,13
