A free gift!

Image
A free Gift My life has crossed paths with a man whom has studied the Torah and has been under the instruction of a Rabbi for the past few years and we have had several discussions concerning "Grace" and what it means when it comes to Christ as our Savior and Deliverer.  I have wanted to know more about the Torah since I do believe in Christ's birth, life, death and resurrection in order to give us life..."grace" if you will.  The Torah (first five books of the Bible) begins the story with the creation of the earth and man. And it describes the leniage of  how and why Christ had to be born in order for us to receive this precious gift of grace.  What does the Kings James Bible say about grace?  What is the definition of grace and does it mean the same thing as what the dictionary depicts?     the free and unmerited favor of God, as manifested in the salvation of sinners and the bestowal of blessings.

What are the Hebrew roots of our Faith!

What are the Hebrew roots of our Faith?  Some of this information I am just now learning.  I want and need the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth from God!  Please share your thoughts about this study!  If you weren't born Jewish but believe that a Jewish man was born to be our Savior and Deliverer -wouldn't you want to know more about who he was and the culture and character behind him?  For the Western world, we are now celebrating Christmas.  So what is behind this celebration? And what do we believe about the birth of Jesus, King of King and Lord of Lord!   He is  (I AM) Meaning "salvation" in Hebrew, it was also the most common form of the name Jesus hence the name corresponds to the Greek spelling Iesous, from which, through the Latin Iesus, comes the English spelling Jesus. The Hebrew spelling  Yeshua  (ישוע) appears in some later books of the Hebrew Bible. Yahushua Our Messiah!  ...

Be Held!

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 ...

The gift of the Kiss!

The gift of the Kiss!  I love the way Ann Voskamp puts it, as you unwrap the gift, it is but a kiss. Your story and my story and the story of the unborn begins with the simplicity of the kiss of love!  In the beginning is when the story came about.  It starts with a kiss from above.  The Father of the whole universe knelt close and closer until  His breath breathed upon our being and His life and love filled us warm and fully alive!  Our Father knows the greatest gift that our heart really needs and wants is the ultimate gift of love.  To feel safe and secure within His arms of compassion.   Our masterpiece in life is really all about the story, the real story of Christ!  If we take our focus off what is real and important, our focus becomes worthless instead of worthy.  There was a story of a man who bought a painting at a yard sale.  For a long time he thought is was worth very little and he hung it in his mu...

There is Sunshine within my Soul!

Image
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...

Finding Happiness

Finding Happiness!  Rejoice in the shadow of His wings…. Psalm 63:7; „Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.‟ As our destiny is fulfilled, through Yahshua, we will shine as lights, as fully blooming lilies, to the world. Matthew 5:14; „Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.‟ This is the theme of the Lily: By our human labour our carnal flesh life is consumed and assimilated in order that the true Life within will be brought forth.  After research and study of the lily, part of it's meaning is it consumes and assimilated, much like our teeth break down food to consume and create energy for our body.  So is the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, showing being consumed by death, but rising again in three days having victory over death and ultimately eternal life and victory over sin!  How is this achieved, through constant renewal of the mind, and death of the f...

A Journal to Jesus

Image
Journal to my Love!  What motivated my post for today was meeting someone online that told me they were preparing a journal for their future mate.  What a wonderful thing to do is to present your beloved with love letters from your heart. The ultimate love story.  Hasn't Christ given us the ultimate love story!  The reason for the butterfly is to signify the change in identity once you meet your bride or bridegroom. Oh how love changes our heart!  Oh how it changes our perspective.  If you find your love waning like the sparks that ignited the fire, stir it up...let the flame roar!  Stir it up with a love letter to Him!  A Journal to Jesus!  Preparing for my bride groom.  It seems in this world that our actions are never enough, there is always one more thing to be done, one more word to be said, one more change to be made.  Oh how things changed when I met my bride groom, my friend, the fairest, the Lily of the V...
