Slow it Down

Slow it down

Slow it down today
Slow it down and say
I love you with the love of The Lord
Let’s bough down today
Let’s bough down today
Serve the love, without dubiousness
All that matters, is how one really feels
When touched by a warm shaking hand
As it builds up hearts
And it fills up charts
Nothing lifts up someone, quite like your care
Slow it down there
Slow it down there
And watch all the clouds disappear

His Water is Good

Listening to rain and thinking of the water
Have a beautiful day friend drenched in His love k

In the wells of our hearts, debris can form in the deep pockets and clog the well up turning the water a muddy color. Why not ask Jesus to come and clean out your well completely. Imagine in an instant you have just asked God to touch the water of your heart. You are so precious to Him that He layed right down deep into the mire and covered you filtering the water so that you could live and breathe and swim in spotless waters of love. Oh yes my friend just by uttering one little honest phrase. “Jesus, I need you.” He is there in an instant to cleanse your well. of all who diligently seek Him shall find Him. We are not only the Children of God, we are called friend. No greater love than He that would lay his life down for a friend. That friend is you.So come my friend and drink and see that the water is good!

Unfailing Love

Philippians 4:6-7
Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

We don’t need to worry about anything. We only need to express our feelings to God; and thank Him for what He is doing and will do. He hears our every call. We are His and He takes great care of us. His love is constant. Peace comes through knowing that He is always there with us, aware and in control and will always give us what we need.
If God seems silent; and He can be. That’s alright. We know that because He is taking perfect care of all of us under this great big sky He knows exactly what we need versus what we want. He loves us and will not give us a stone when we ask for bread. A man in the Bible asked Jesus “Help me believe, in my unbelief.” Are we uncertain that God is working in our situation? Be certain of this. Even if He doesn’t answer us, the way we think; He will not fail us and He cannot fail us.
I know that I have wondered when He would answer my prayer at times. I only had to seek for Him and look at the love of what He did for us on the cross. Just think of His creation all around us spinning in beauty, all for us from Him. He is building us (as a strong house that will withstand any storm.)
I’m trusting Him for my future; looking forward to being with Him in Heaven for eternity. His awesome peace is everything.
His omniscience, omnipresence, omnipotence is my security. His love for us on the cross, proof of His unfailing love toward us. We can rest in His care; leaving all of our cares past and present to Him.
We need not overwhelm ourselves with worry. We only need to trust God and give it all to Him.
“Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart.” “Cast all your cares upon Him for He cares for you”. Soon those cares will melt into peace because you place your trust in Him. You are so loved k

Jesus Leads

“My sheep hear my voice. They know Me and they follow Me.”

The rough sod we trod is preparing us
As we step safely; led by Gods Hand
To a place in eternity; following Him
Too beautiful to comprehend
-all
To Strangers, we are in the way sometimes
Backwards, the rocks sometimes pall
But ne’er alone or forgotten child
At days end let soft pillows fall
-call
His Name in the darkness before you
His light will burst; opening the doors
Lifting you and others on to the promised land
In Jesus who leads us all
-home k

Feeling Safe

When you pass through the waters
I will be with you
And when you go through the rivers
They will not sweep over you
When you walk through the fire
You will not be burned
The flames shall not set you ablaze
For I am The Lord your God

Isaiah 43:2

When waves come fiercely, quickly swoop
As if to drown, fret ne’er
God will wade you safely on
To shore, with time to spare

You’ll meet tempestuous storms of life
Carrying your cross
Through the fires, as they come …
Lose nothing but the dross

You will come forth, as finest gold
Mere mortal foes, fear not
Dear child of God, you’re safe forever
In the price, which you’ve been bought

So rest dear child; you are the treasure
Of His warm inviting hand
He died to tell you of His love
Praise Him in all the land
Kg.
Feeling safe

Romans 5:5

Now hope does not disappoint
Because the love of God
Has been poured out in our hearts
Through the Holy Spirit
Romans 5-5
Have a great day
In His love dear one K

New Day

It’s a great new day in the brightness and Glory of God
Thanking God for another day
To live and breath
Leave all your worries behind friend
Concentrate on His goodness and promise for you
Always trust in Him
No matter what the world throws at you
He will always pull your through
You have the victory with Jesus
He will always be enough
Have a beautiful, bright new day friend

Rest well

The sun has lowered over the horizon
A cup of Camomile tea and feet up
Out on the deck it’s calm. it’s nice to feel
The coolness of the night, as world quiets down.
The birds have settled in after their last musical score
The only sounds left are low tones of the owl

Rest well in Gods blessings friend
My head needs rest tonight
Lots of love k

Jeremiah 51:15

“He made the earth with His power; He founded the world by His wisdom and stretched out the heavens by His understanding.” Jeremiah 51:15

What a beautiful day it was. Took a long walk in the Countryside.
The sky was so bright and blue; the trees turning a myriad of yellows and reds and browns, painting the ground with color.
I let the wind blow in my face today … feeling the refreshment. Thank you Lord for showing me a glimpse of the wonder of your creation today and look forward to the day that I see You face to face.

At the edge of a Cabin side creek; I saw the brook, wrangling over rocks, cutting it’s way. After the dry season, the water returns and carries on, sprung by hope and furthers itself, getting bigger deeper, and stronger.
I love listening to brooks babble. So beautiful.
I can’t even comprehend the vastness of God’s love for Us.
God is so good and loving to let me enjoy it; He is wanting me to enjoy this life a bit more. To rest a bit more lately; in that I have been overwhelmed at times with many changes in life lately. Things aren’t always easy. Sometimes I go through the rapids; but I make it truly, because of Him. The only thing that gets me through, is knowing that God keeps me alive and protected. These eyes have been tired; my heart’s been broken many times; but my heart is alive and strong in Christ. To watch and pray, listening to the simple sound of a babbling of a brook stream flow down the line, is very much cathartic for me. I’m Thanking The Lord for every Moment. Endorphins of His love invigorate me.
I hope you make time to enjoy His vast love, too. Know that He loves you no matter what you’ve been through.

Have a beautiful day dear one, in the shelter of His arms; your Creator and Lover of your soul

Night and sweet dreams to my family and friends
