What God has prepared for those who love Him
“Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard
nor has entered into the heart of man,
What God has prepared for those who love Him.”
First Corinthians 2.9
–
The above scripture was quoted by Paul
from the Old Testament, in Isaiah 64:4
–
In Isaiah 64, Jerusalem had been destroyed.
The Holy Temple had been burned to the ground. Isaiah is asking the Lord to come down and show the world His presence after the desolation. There was sadness and mourning in Jerusalem, but Isaiah knows to wait on the Lord.
–
He says in verse 8 “But now, O LORD, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou art our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand.”
–
No matter what our circumstances in life that we are in; God knows the end and we can trust Him for the victory. We are His; to wait on Him as we serve Him.
He knows the right time. His love will mold our lives and hearts to be more like Him.
Thank You Lord Jesus, for Your perfect, amazing, healing and fathomless Love.

Dear Lord, Give us more of Your Holy Spirit each moment of the day.
Teach us to know You more and live in Your perfect love, each moment, each step of the way.
Onward because of You. Already in the victory. Praise God

morning praise song
(Our Living God)
Great Northern
Great Northern fronts
Can be quite blunt
Blowing back and forth
With a kick, pass punt
–
Shock waves that sound
The chiming windmill
Which cannot behave
Then become still
–
With tears on my face
I tend to the mill
But I have fulfillment
In this long winters’ chill
–
Trusting in God
The key to my strength
Endurance, resilience
To go the length
–
Soft winter cloths
Caress nightly with salve
For this cracked deepened smile
At the frozen improv
–
Crisp sunny days
Leading love to the verse
Settling yesterdays’ bout
With the cold winters burst

Peaceful Prism
Windows glisten as they frost
I’m looking out at sparkling hues
Blue and yellow sun shines through
Fellow shades for warmer views
–
Geometric prisms serve
In patterns, turn kaleidoscopes
Eyes are rolling in an arc
Painting pretty isotopes
–
Beyond the specs of yesteryear
Tears still glow, and move on by
God, who stores them in the sky
Comforts with a lullaby
–
Soft and sweet, the tender beams
Filling longing souls with glee
Melting frozen hearts with ease
Holy Spirit heals and frees
–
Christ, who sprung the whole world wide
Bids us come without a fight
Holds our hand; and all is right
Wraps us in His bosom light
–
As we rise above each plight
Grow in His wisdom, strength and sight
His victory grins from ear to ear
His song with muffs so soft and bright
I’m looking out at sparkling hues
Blue and yellow sun shines through
Fellow shades for warmer views
–

Diamond Mining
Once my heart was overwrought
With stress and sought relief
The vise grip of the carbon fields
Gave utterance to my grief
–
I had to face the truth of truths
If only to myself
So I sat awhile in silence
To rest upon a shelf
–
A diamond tributary
Lay pressured and held down
As God, our loving lapidary
Designed a precious crown
–
In His timing, He beheld
By furnace hot and stoked
Shaped and crafted, then upwelled
The elegance, uncloaked
–
Seasoned in the facets
The strongest diamond mold
Now visible to the naked eye
For God reveals His own

Lessons
Time, it cannot melt the truth
Or wax itself unkind
I felt the pain, yet don’t regret
The love it left behind
–
The long long road
Built up in strength
Where God’s sweet mercy
Sowed in length
–
With needles hidden
Bound all wounds
Stopped the bleeding
Healed the pain
–
A place where all one’s pride
Must die
Where pity pays no mind to mix
Stupefying fights … all fixed
–
Where eye for eye and tooth for tooth
Give way for selfless mercies truth
One of loves greatest lessons
To be learned
–
On the cross
The work is done
The victory in Christ
Already won

A Prayer for the New Year
Wishing all my family and friends a Happy New year.
–
My prayer is that you will know how really beautiful you are; because God made you and fashioned you in His own Image.
You are precious in His sight. Your gifts, each one, equally as valuable, yet as different as all the many colors of the rainbow.
May His love shine on you, in you and through you, like a prism shining bright
–
When tough times come, and they do; we pray for each other in the Lords strength and protection. In your hope and waiting, fret not and trust in Him. Never give up and hang on. He’ll make a way; His time. Payday is coming. You have the victory!
–
We know that God will see us through all the seasons of our lives. After all that He has brought us though; we have become much wiser and stronger. After being seasoned in His wisdom and instruction; we are even more beautiful.
Jesus is the reason, for our bright future.
–
We can have complete confidence because we have Him and we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. Great and wonderful things, are in store for those who follow the Lord.
–
“For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord.

The Oldest Wooden Tree
If your feeling tuckered out
Lonely and quite blue
Be apprised of this fact dear one
Jesus wholly loves you
–
There’s a coat rack in the hall
Strong and tall and empty
Longing to hold your hat
Come one, and come all
–
Chorus
–
Hang all of your troubles, on the oldest wooden tree
Take a load off of all your weary bones …
There’s plenty of room upon the oldest wooden tree
Plenty of room on His settee
–
Hang your hat, breathe in …
Drop your troubles there
The coat rack waits quietly
For all your heavy cares
–
Close your weary eyes
The whole weight disappears
Upon the oldest wooden tree
Release to Jesus, all your fears
–
Hang all of your troubles, on the oldest wooden tree
Take a load off of all your weary bones …
There’s plenty of room upon the oldest wooden tree
Plenty of room on His settee

The Peace of God
Just thinkin, while drinkin my coffee today. Thankin God. Lovin this thought. When stresses suddenly creep into your day; My mother used to say,
“What’s God trying to teach you in this?”
Put it all into the Lords hands … and have peace. He’ll work it all out.
She also used to say, Nothins worth a nervous breakdown!
