Sisters God is Calling

God is calling His daughters

 His voice is soft as the wind

God is calling His daughters

Whose beauty and grace reflect

              His love

God is calling His daughters

Whose touch of gentleness and kindness

               Prevails

God is calling his daughters

      where His peace dwells

Come sisters our Father is calling

Listen His voice is soft as the wind

Come sisters it is time to connect our spirits

God our Father is calling

My Reflection:

His love prevails where His peace dwells.

Heartfelt Love

Heartfelt Love

The Father requires of His children to have heartfelt love

The same love they receive from heaven above

 Loving the Father with all one’s heart, soul, and mind

 And your neighbors as yourself that’s the kind

 Of love that the Father commands throughout the lands

 Love the Lord for He has compassion and mercy

When He hears your cries and prayerful voice

 Shower your love and praise upon Him

Your grateful response as sons and daughters

 And a heartfelt choice

 He has declared and given us His Spirit of love

 The red fruit we must consume every day

 Rich in nourishment that helps us walk in His ways

 Demonstrating heartfelt love.

Reading: 1 Corinthians 13:4-5

 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.

the Red Rose

The blood trickling down His face

 Him nailed on the cross for the human race

His head hanging as he whispers it is finished

Such passionate, redeeming, justifying, and regenerating love

 The sinner saved, three days later He walked out of His grave

 His appearance too many, they were amazed

What amazing grace, what unselfish love written all over his face

 He speaks among the multitudes

Gazes upon them with overwhelming compassion

He has healing in His heart, He touches them

Oh how compelling to the hearts of those failing

 Locked in bondage of a life of sin or oppression 

Amazing love, amazing grace written all over His face

Reconciling mankind to their rightful place

In the arms of the Father  

What amazing love, amazing grace written all over His face

His peace and His sweet-scent seeping through His pores

Bringing the faithful closer, to learn more and more

Mankind’s red rose, each petal dripping with His blood

Filled with His amazing grace and His amazing love

He is the Rose that will never wither and die

The rose that is rich in life giving blood

The blood that makes one white as snow

The Red Rose

King Nebuchadnezzar

   Daniel 4:1-36 (NKJV)

King Nebuchadnezzar esteemed Daniel highly as having the indwelling of the “Spirit of the Holy God” (the doctrine of the Trinity) who could interpret dreams that others could not therefore, he made it a point to always ask Daniel to interpret his dreams and visions. The king had a second dream that pictured a tree which was explained by Daniel to represent the king. After interpreting the dream, Daniel gave the king some sound advice that he hoped would be acceptable. One would say that Daniel was giving him feedback regarding his arrogant pride, conduct, and actions. The feedback or advice was to lead the king to repentance of his sins by breaking away from his inequities and showing mercy to the poor and being righteous. Daniel expressed to the king if he would follow his advice his time of prosperity may be lengthened.

The dream represented something more serious which Daniel had explained in his interpretation.  Apparently, a year later the king had not changed and was exalting himself. Matthew 23:12 informs the reader that those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted. In the midst of king Nebuchadnezzar exalting himself, God spoke to him and made a not so pleasant decree (related to the dream) in that the king would realize in time that God rules the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomever, he chooses. After the dream’s negative fulfillment and King Nebuchadnezzar humbling experience, he reasoned and understood who holds all the power and honor in the kingdom. Then he praised and extolled God as eternally sovereign and omnipotent of all the universe. In addition, King Nebuchadnezzar learned that God has the power and capability of humbling those who walk pridefully, His ways are just, and works are truth. God humbled King Nebuchadnezzar before exalting him again for a helpful and holy purpose.  

Moral of the Story: Be attentive to your dreams, reflect on God’s word and feedback, be righteous in your doings, show mercy to the poor, understand that God is sovereign, and His kingdom is everlasting, and He will give you a chance to repent before He humbles you.

The Beauty of God’s Love

The sky is navy blue a blanket of serenity.

A purple horizon marking the trail of the King’s Royal Robe.

Wild grass blowing in the wind and stopping to bow as He passes.

What bliss what favor to see what God sees.

The beauty of God’s love in you and me.

Directing our hearts in joy, peace, and love.

Come here! You will see, the beauty of God’s love in you and me.

Prayer: Father, may we be at peace in the beauty of Your love.

                                                                                               

Psalm 30:1-3,11

I will exalt you, Lord, for you lifted me out of the depths
     and did not let my enemies gloat over me. Lord my God, I called to you for help,
    and you healed me. You, Lord, brought me up from the realm of the dead;
    you spared me from going down to the pit. You turned my wailing into dancing; You removed
my sackcloth and clothed me with joy.

In the Rhythm of the Spirit     

My life sustaining movement of the Spirit. 

The rushing breeze of the wind lifting me.

I feel like I am floating on air,  

When I’m dancing to the rhythm of the Spirit,

The thematic sound of the timpani and conga drums.

Making His presence grand. My soul hums.

The wistfully sounds of a symphony hallowing His name.

Violins playing my soul is swaying so quiet, gentle, and sincere.

So melodiously near, there is nothing else I rather hear.

Other than the music He brings when we are embraced in dance.

Dancing to the thematic sounds of timpani and conga drums.  

In the rhythm of the Spirit.

the Rock

              A pRecious cornerstone.

                The LOrd knows who is His.

He is our spiritual RoCk.  

                     King of Kings, Lord of Lords.

Build your house on the rock, the solid rock of Jesus. Say “He alone is my Rock and my salvation, my fortress, I shall not be greatly shaken. Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock (Psalm 62:2: Matthew 7:24).

Anointing Grace

Anointing grace is on His lips.

With words of wisdom I can not resist.

His power confirms and ignites my Spirit’s fire.

Clothed and dancing in my spiritual attire.

His favor my shield keeping me from all harm.

I find comfort, peace, joy, and love embraced in His arms.

Anointing grace is on His lips. His words I can not resist.

Reading: Ephesians 6:24

Grace to all who love our Lord Jesus Christ with an undying love.

Psalm 68:32-35

Sing to God, you kingdoms of the earth,
    sing praise to the Lord,
 to him who rides across the highest heavens, the ancient heavens,
    who thunders with mighty voice.
 Proclaim the power of God,
    whose majesty is over Israel,
    whose power is in the heavens.
You, God, are awesome in your sanctuary;
    the God of Israel gives power and strength to his people.

Praise be to God!

Treasured Possessions

God’s children are His treasured possessions.

No weapon formed shall prosper against them.

Set aside as His holy ones, dedicated to Him.

Calling each other brother and sister.

Sharing their faith in Jesus Christ.

Heirs, receiving benefits through the power of the Holy Spirit.

Now and in the future, His children.

Abba Father’s treasured possessions.

Reading: Romans 8:19

For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed.
