Bottling the beauty of the Heart of God!

Bottling His Beauty

If I could only bottle the beauty of the heart of God!  It would hold every beautiful picture He has allowed me to take.  His hand and heart work together.  As I walk along the beach, he reminds me that it is He who calms the waters.  As I see the water hit against the rock,  again his whisper is like the wisp of wind, gentle to the skin.... I am your refuge and your rock, a very present help in trouble.  As I take a picture of the meadows, he reminds me that He can take the desert and make it bloom.  As I press my finger against the shutter to capture the magnificent beautiful Orchids, again He whispers with a still, small voice, I have taken your ashes and given you beauty!  He takes our tears, our torment, our tender hearts and turns them to lovely.  His lovely presents can be seen in everything.  His fragrance can saturate the soul!

We walked through the orchid green house, each orchid more beautiful than the next.  She gently brought the plant closer so we could breath in the fragrance.  The bottled beauty of the Lord, it permeates the heart and penetrates the soul!  Philippians 4:8.....a love letter to be read every day!

Day 3 - Revealing the Heart!

Day 3 - Revealing the Heart  Can we let truth speak louder than our feelings?  The longer we speak, read and live truth, our feelings will need to agree!  While reading my devotional today in (Ephesians 3:12) it talks about having courage and confidence in Christ.  The word used in the text was unreserved.   I wanted to look up the definition.  And as I read it, it created this boldness in my heart while I read the words out loud. You may want to try doing this yourself.   It started with unconditional, unqualified (no qualification required) without reservation, unlimited, categorical, unequivocal, unambiguous, absolute, complete, thorough, wholehearted, full, total and undivided.  This is God's love, his love is complete and unlimited.  There is only one way to interpret it, clear and concise.  It goes on to say in ( Ephesians 3:17) by faith we are rooted and grounded in Christ's love!  We often distance ourselves from the very source we need because of feelings

Day 2 - JOY

Image
Day 2 You might think there is a magic formula in obtaining "Joy".  Relationship and resolution to have a closer relationship with the one who provides joy, it is a simple formula, but few take it.  Psalm 33:22 "Let your loving kindness, O Lord, be upon us, according, as we have hope in You."   As we claim every promise that God has given us as our own, it deposits one more gem of joy in our heart.  As we take this journey of joy together, be patient as He shows us victory in every circumstance, no matter how it looks to us on the outside of our heart.  He can give us peace from within. Keep your focus on the beauty of His creative and magnificent hand.  And before long, you will feel Him holding your hand.  "We wait for the Lord.  he is our help and our shield.  In him our hearts find joy.  In his holy name we trust."   Psalm 33:20-21 The heart of gratitude!  1.) Thank you for sharing the Garden 2.)  Another beautiful day
