Revealing the Heart

Be Held! I have to be honest and share that sometimes it would be nice to be held by the arms of a man.  God did bless me with a son, who is now a man, who hugs me often!    Being single sometimes brings loneliness and when you deal with that and with the other issues of life, such as finances, health, and the burdens of others, it can be a difficult road, let's say impossible.  Some of you out there are married and still feel this sense of loneliness!  Loneliness prods me on to the exact reason why I can't walk this road alone.  I wasn't meant to walk it alone and I don't think you are meant to walk it alone either.  It isn't a choice for me, it is a necessity to believe! It is faith that finds it's way to my heart, through the flawless, unfailing, unfathomable love of a generous, gracious loving Lord!  I must have His living water and partake daily.  I need His words and His Holy spirit to penetrate my soul!  Lets just feel really held for a moment!

There is Sunshine within my Soul!  A remembrance of Him!  We have had so many beautiful sunrises and sunsets!  Have we thanks our Heavenly Father above for such a beautiful display of His love?  And he shall be as the light of the morning, when the sun riseth, even a morning without clouds, as the tender grass springing out of the earth by clear shining after rain.   2 Samuel 23:4 We often think of rain as a bad day; but is it?  When it rains it reminds me of God's living water!  When the water hits the earth it causes life, for the grass that withers, for the trees that grow, for the bloom yet to blossom and the rivers that flow!  Did you know that when a baby is born their body is composed of 78% water.  God's living water is so important!  There is another passage in the Bible that talks of this living water.  During one of Jesus' many journeys, he traveled through Sameria.  He came upon a Samaritan city called Sychar, near the plot of ground that Ja
