I’d rather walk in the valley with Jesus, than on the mountain-top without Him. He gives a song both day and night, knitting our hearts together with chords of His sweet love. I’d rather walk through valley’s long trial with … Continue reading
See God in everything whether great or small.
Trust His Sovereign will to all who will call.
Trust Him to guide and keep, never let you fall.
See God in everything whether great or small.

Trust His hand to lead from darkness into Light.
Remember He has promised never to leave or fail.
See God in everything, His promises prevail.
See God in everything when human reason speaks.

Peace that passes understanding, joy to fill your heart.

Trust Him to guide and keep your heart from sin.
Cry out when you’re weary…He sees and hears your call.

Run the race before you empowered by His Grace.
See God in everything and give Him all your praise.
I focus on this one thing; forgetting the past and looking
forward to what lies ahead, I press on to
reach the end of the race (Philippians 3:10-11 NLT).
Love saw our need…
Beyond the questions of Nicodemus the teacher.
The woman caught in adultery.
The thief on the cross.
Saul the Pharisee and murderer.
The lost one in church, religious, but no relationship.
The Cross of Calvary is an invitation to all.
It doesn’t matter who we are or what we have done.
The religious teacher who seeks Jesus is born again,
and receives new life of God’s Spirit.
The immoral released from guilt and shame
now walks with a pure heart.
The thief enters paradise
and lives with Jesus forever.
The Pharisee is paroled from hell,
receives new life and vision.
The religious rebel redeemed from self-works
now walks with the Living God.
If we want to know God and live with Him eternally,
we need only look to the Jesus and believe.
Made right with God by faith in Jesus—
Peace with God through the blood of His son,
A place to stand in undeserved privilege,
A hope that does not disappoint,
God’s love poured out into our hearts.
For God so loved the world, He gave His only begotten
son that whoever believes in Him shall not perish,
but have everlasting life. John 3:16
For this is the will of My Father, that everyone who beholds the Son and believes in Him, will have eternal life, and I Myself will raise him up on the last day. (John 6:40)
When we see Jesus, the foot of the cross becomes the
Amazing Throne of Grace.
Will you meet me there?
Our Father in Heaven, we bow our hearts and lives before you, thanking you for eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. May Your Kingdom come, Your will be done. Forgive our sins. Renew our faith. Give us new songs of praise. In the name of Jesus our Lord, amen.
He still speaks… to hearts flung open wide, brought near like a child.
Am I listening?
He still reveals…shines light through lens of searching eyes.
Am I seeing?
He’s still longing…waiting from a distance, ready to forgive and heal effects of rejection and brokenness.
Am I receiving?
He’s still listening…for questions yet to be asked and answered.
Am I asking?
He still speaks.
Reveals.
Longs.
Loves.
Listens.
He’s still God and I am not.
This day I come as a child drawing near through the blood of the Lamb, acknowledging His holiness and my unworthiness. Grateful He gives the right to call Him Father. Grateful He’s still Savior and Lord after all these years and all these *bottled up tears, measured, and written down in His book.
I am grateful He still reveals light and love when I lift
the eyes of my heart, repent and return.
For God so *loved…He gave…His Son…
*the exact representation of all the Father is and does.
He never left us…we left Him.
He didn’t abandon us…we abandoned Him.
He didn’t lie…the tempter did…and does.
He still breathes new life, peace and rest, to worn and weary pilgrims.
He still promises weeping may endure for the night, but joy comes in the morning.
He still speaks truth!
What truth do you need to hear to be set free?
Jesus said: “And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free”
(John 8:32 NLT).
Lent Reflections:*Psalm 56:8, *John 3:16, *Hebrews 1
This was a trip of a life-time for Dave and I. A dream finally fulfilled. A great way to celebrate our 50th Wedding Anniversary!
We saw and experienced so much in the ten day trip to Israel. I am still trying to process it all, but here are a few pictures we took and some thoughts I’ve had thus far.
We spent the first part of our trip in Tiberias, touring many biblical sights while there.
Tiberious
early morning ride on Sea of Galilee
Sunset over the Sea of Galilee
I didn’t see Jesus there, as I looked out over the Sea of Galilee but in my heart and mind I saw Him…Choosing his disciples one by one. Giving them the call and challenge,
“Follow me and I will make you fishers of men.”
I didn’t see Jesus there, but I sailed on the Sea of Galilee I’d read about for so many years.
I thought about the night Jesus came walking on water and His terrified disciples thinking He was a ghost. His immediate words of comfort to those on the wind tossed boat; “Take heart; it is me. Do not be afraid.”
And my heart, in awe and wonder wept for the times fear threatened and unbelief spoke…and like the disciples cried. “Lord, don’t you care?”
I thought about Peter’s dare…“Lord if it’s you, command me to come”.
and Jesus’ quick response; “Come.” And I can just imagine the impetuous lover of Jesus, getting out of the boat of safety and walking on water…till fear replaced faith and shaky feet sank.
And Peter’s humbled desperate cry, “Lord save me”!
And our Lord taking Peter’s hand with a question as they got back on the boat;
“You of little faith, why did you doubt?”
No, I didn’t see Jesus there, but I felt His presence and marveled at the people whose pilgrimage had brought them to this place. And I knelt before the One who still offers peace and rest to weary pilgrims.
Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens
and you will find rest for your souls. Matthew 11:28,29
