Revealing the Heart

Aww...to Come back to my First Love!  What a busy and demanding week.  It's not good for the soul to be gone for too long in the busyness of life.  Though we feel death in the flesh, He always has a way to prick the soul alive with His love and grace! He reminds me softly by a song playing while I travel home for lunch. I often look and listen to the world around me, and I hear sarcasm through meaningless jokes and "noise"!  Does anyone genuinely love anymore?  It seems to be all about attention, about me, me and more me!  About sexual, bi-sexual, homo-sexual, hetero-sexual?  What about taking sexual out of the picture and lets talk about "REAL" love!  The kind of love that would die for YOU!  The kind of love that did DIE for YOU!  Lets talk about the LOVE that sacrifices, that honors, who respects YOU and the creation of mankind and everything around it?  What about the one who says we are "fearfully and wonderfully made"...

Who is watching?  The question is, who is watching?  Are you watching, am I really watching?  We say we are watching; but are we warning?  Warning those around us, because scripture says He is coming back!  Who is coming back?  If your a christian, God says all through the bible that the Son of Man is returning! And the Son of Man is Jesus Christ.  In Revelations 16:15 "Behold, I am coming as a thief.  Blessed is he who watches, and keeps his garments, lest he walk naked and they see his shame." Walk naked?  The person without faith is found naked, without righteousness!  Reading in Matthew 24:37,38, 39 - What does God tell us, who is watching?  "But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.  For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark.  And did not know until the flood came and took t...

In His Presence!  In my own pursuit of His presence, I found the beginning in Hebrews, chapter 11 - without faith, it is impossible to please Him.  In His presences we are framed by the word of God, this is our picture.  The picture is of Him and the frame is made from faith.  If you want to be in the Presence of an Almighty God, we need to be framed by His word.  I am a woman seeking after God's heart!  Revealing the heart of God.  However; I cannot be in the presence of God without first believing.  Hebrews 11:6 When I think about being in the presence of God, I often think about King David who was a man after God's heart!  David's heart reflected contrast, just like our heart, he was guilty of so many sins, yet he was passionately committed to God!  We can see our own weaknesses within the dynamics of David's own life.  He faced so many worldly frustrations, by living under the shadow of his brothers, than cons...

Pretty as a Peacock! P - Power - Zechariah 4:6 - This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: "Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit, says the Lord of hosts."  "Who are you, O great mountain?  Before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain!  And he shall bring forth the capstone with shouts of "GRACE , GRACE to it!"  Just a little history of who Zerubbabel was: He was the head of the tribe of Judah during the time of the return from the Babylon exile.  He was the prime builder of the second Temple, which was later re-constructed by King Herod.  He led the first group of captives back to Jerusalem and began rebuilding the Temple on the old site.  From some 20 years he was closely associated with prophets, priests, and kings until the new Temple was dedicated and the Jewish sacrificial system was re-established.  The second Temple was consecrated in about 516 BC which was 70 years after the destruction of the first Temple by the Bab...

Does your life resemble a tree?  Isaiah 61:3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil  of  joy for mourning, the  garment  of   praise  for the spirit  of  heaviness; that they might be called trees  of  righteousness, the planting  of  the  Lord , that he might be glorified. I couldn't decide today what to talk about? What I should blog about? So much going on in my mind.  My first thought was about a trash can.  I sometimes feel like a trash can where everyone wants to throw their garbage.  I was going to use an illustration of a trash can with garbage overflowing out of it.  Do you ever feel this way?  When someone is in a stressed mood, or angry about something, or something isn't going the way they anticipate, and they take it out on you!  Or they make you feel like a piece of paper with junk hanging off of it!  The...
