IT'S NEVER TOO LATE

February 26, 2012~~


(All of these precious words that were spoken to my heart were said so softly and tenderly~~just above a whisper, yet with such power and sureness. Bless the Lord!)


It's never too late...it's never too late~for My work and My vision~it's in the working. I want you to rejoice today in My plans and goals for you and let your ideas of success fall by the wayside. Remember, it's never too late wherein I AM working and loving...never too late.

MY LITTLE CRY

February 19, 2012


In worship to our Lord, I desired so much for His Spirit to flow thru me in a brand new way so as to bless others by the Holy Spirit's workings in me. I was praying , in particular, about receiving inspiration from our Lord's heart in paintings. Also, my heart wanted wisdom in knowing when to speak & when to be harnessed in wisdom. This is what I cried out to Him:


O Holy Inspiration of all beauty
Inspire me~~move my heart and my hands
That I might paint what You desire
And give it all over to You
So as to inspire many others...
That they too, might be
Drawn in the embrace
Of Your loving arms
And satisfy Your longing
For them in all things.


I pray You will harness me in wisdom
Yet let Your Holy Wind blow thru me
To those you have prepared.


Open the eyes of their hearts
To see, really see
Who You are~~
So near~so present~
So caring~so loving...
And embrace You!

COMMUNING WITH THE ALMIGHTY

12/4/2011---




Communing with the Almighty
For this we were created
To bask in His lavish love
To be aglow in His Light.


Flowing with the Holy Spirit
As He guides us through thick and through thin
Learning of Him in deep places
Secrets of His Beauty revealed.


Only the Blood of Jesus
Can transform us on our walk
And He is fully committed and faithful to His own--
Surely, He will never leave nor forsake us.


Though we, at times, may think all is 'out of control'
He, in His Sovereign, Marvellous ways
Turns it all around to
Show forth His power and might.


Yes, HE IS the Shining One
He always was and ever will be
And to declare to Satan's kingdom--
SEE! I AM ever FOR MY OWN!


HE shines brighter as we look to Him
And thank Him IN all things
Trusting in HIS heart of Love
Having faith in Him forevermore!


Psalm 77;1-3, 10-14--I cried unto God with my voice, even unto God with my voice; and he gave ear unto me. In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord: my sore ran in the night, and ceased not: my soul refused to be comforted. I remembered God, and was troubled: I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed.


--And I said, This is my infirmity: but I will remember the years of the right hand of the most High. I will remember the works of the LORD: surely I will remember thy wonders of old. I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings. Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God as our God? Thou art the God that doest wonders: thou hast declared thy strength among the people.


Psalm 84:5-7--Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the ways of them. Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools.
They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appeareth before God.


Psalm 86:1-17--Bow down thine ear, O LORD, hear me: for I am poor and needy.
Preserve my soul; for I am holy: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee. Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily. Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul. For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee. Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications. In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt answer me.
Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord; neither are there any works like unto thy works.

All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy name. For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God alone. Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name. I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify thy name for evermore. For great is thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell. O God, the proud are risen against me, and the assemblies of violent men have sought after my soul; and have not set thee before them. But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, long suffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth. O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.
Shew me a token for good; that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because thou, LORD, hast helped me, and comforted me.

POEM--WHO IS THIS MAN?

WHO IS THIS MAN?

Who is this Man?
Who has no beginning and no end
Born here for me
His message of love to send.

Who is this Man?
Whom all have spurned
Yet He lives
That my life may be turned--
To gaze into His eyes--to see
His heart's desire
Delivering from my demise--
Bringing me through untold sorrows
Only to emerge on the other side.

Who is this Man?
He is my Redeemer
Who suffered that I might
Find Him
And walk in love and adoration
Aside the One
Who ever sets me free from sin.

Who is this Man?
He is my Lord--who longs to be
My All in all.
And He comes with His sword
To cut through all the walls and chains
Moving me forward into new places
To leave behind me all the past pains
Calling me to trust in Him--Christ in me--
The only hope of Glory.

Who is this Man?
He is my Beloved--
He is my Souse--
And I am His.

Romans 7:4--Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.

POEM--HIDDEN BEAUTY

POEM--HIDDEN BEAUTY 11/7/11

There is a beauty hidden deep within me
It's He, my lovely Jesus, Master, King and Lord.
And in that place He gives His call and invites thee
To meet with Him and rest, in love and to adore.

There is a jewel hidden deep within me
The Pearl beyond compare in all the earth.
There is a jewel hidden deep within me
And I found Him on the day of my new birth.

There is a beauty hidden deep within me
Filling and overflowing all those who love
O that I could express Him to you perfectly
This One who condescended from above.

Matthew 13:46 who having found one pearl of great price, having gone away, hath sold all, as much as he had, and bought it.

POEM--DEEP CALLS UNTO DEEP

POEM--DEEP CALLS UNTO DEEP 11/7/11

Deep calls unto Deep
I hear My Master say
So open up your heart, my child
For you--this is the way--
Not to hide, but to bare thyself to
One who knows but all and yet and still
Loves deeply--all of you and more.
"A Mystery", I hear you say
Your heart can't comprehend
And yet, I say again, my own
I love you deeply--all of you and more.

Psalm 42:7--Young's Literal Translation

7Deep unto deep is calling At the noise of Thy water-spouts, All Thy breakers and Thy billows passed over me.

8By day Jehovah commandeth His kindness, And by night a song [is] with me, A prayer to the God of my life.

POEM--YOU ARE THE POTTER

POEM--YOU ARE THE POTTER 11/7/11

You are the Potter
I am the clay
And on Your wheel I choose to stay.
Your work in me
That does mold and shape
This, I know, is for Your Name's Sake.
Yet surely there's no way
That I could perform
Any such marvels that indeed transform.

So when I buck Your hand
And frown and weep
And cry out for this
Pain to cease--
I pray, O God, You will be deaf
To all my earnest cries of flesh
And overrule my fears and strife
By Your holy hand and powerful life.

So have Your way
Knead and bend and press--
If You must
For I am but a speck of dust.

And make of me all that YOU desire
So that Your heart and mine--
TOGETHER...
Would burn in the fire of Your love!

Jeremiah 18:1-6--Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

1The word that hath been unto Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying,

2Rise, and thou hast gone down [to] the potter's house, and there I cause thee to hear My words;

3and I go down [to] the potter's house, and lo, he is doing a work on the stones,

4and marred is the vessel that he is making, as clay in the hand of the potter, and he hath turned and he maketh it another vessel, as it was right in the eyes of the potter to make.

5And there is a word of Jehovah to me, saying:

6As this potter am I not able to do to you? O house of Israel, an affirmation of Jehovah. Lo, as clay in the hand of the potter, So [are] ye in My hand, O house of Israel.
