I love the Word of God and the wonderful work of the Holy Spirit. I am thankful He opens up blind eyes to see truth and causes new life with promise to grow stronger each day. He loves us so much and His thoughts toward us are good.

His Far Reaching Thoughts By Brenda Drake

Far reaching thoughts fall like rain;
And in awe and wonder they settle and remain.
When truth settles and is soaked in deep,
The value of life is increased.
New growth surely occurs;
Like a seed planted is the Word;
A seed of tomorrow with life anew;
A seed; full of potential inside of you.
Worship and praise rise up from inside,
Proving love and adoration is alive.
Jesus is the Lord of Lords and King of all Kings,
Only He is able to cause my heart to sing.
He is the Song of heaven that causes peace within.
He is the Word that comforts and draws to Him.
He is the truth like a seed grows strong and tall,
He is our future-promise and the anointing rain that falls.
He is Jesus, Son of God, the Light, and the Way.
He is the path I follow and the Word I obey.
Jesus is the high-tower and shelter from life’s storm,
He is my Savoir and the future for all the reborn.
He is in my thoughts day and night the same,
There is grace, hope and power in Jesus’ name.
His far reaching thoughts fall like refreshing rains
Words of adoration, honor, and praise to His glory proclaim.

Romans 12:2
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Ephesians 3:20-21
Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.

Torn Flower By Brenda Drake

I love this poem God gave me. Its message is a beautiful glimpse of the love bestowed upon us by the Lover of our Soul. When we practice loving like Jesus we will be aware of those that are used and abused or almost unseen in a busy, worldly, cruel world.

Torn Flower

In the rocky soil in the appointed place,
The little flower lifts up it face.
Perhaps no one ever notices but still it is there,
To offer its aroma to anyone that cares.
Now in this story you may begin to perceive,
That every bloom is important to Me.
Sometimes you get a glimpse of someone others pass by;
And you appreciate their touch upon your life.
Perhaps their aroma has sweetened the air you breathe;
And they have become very precious to thee.
What I want you to see is the one stepped upon;
The one that all their beauty is gone.
They are ragged from the cares of life and the world’s abuse.
They are forgotten and tossed aside like an old pair of shoes.
I desire for you to see the torn flowers, help them know,
That the God that so loved the world loves them so.
Put your arms out and gather them close and you will see,
They become a beautiful display: a bouquet for the King.
Love the unlovely, love the flowers torn;
For such are the ones in God’s kingdom and are the reborn.
Do you remember your condition before God came into your life?
How terrible was the condition of the soul before the touch of Christ.
You prove that torn flowers may be completely restored,
By the good work of love – becoming a glory to the Lord.

John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Steadfast Love By Brenda Drake

Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.

We get a revelation of God’s love when we recognize how far we have traveled from where we began. Great is our joy at the steadfast love of our Lord that keeps watch for things turn out as He desires for us.

Steadfast Love

Steadfast love follows, leads, and guides me to the place;
Where my seeking heart can seek His face.
Never-ending devotion has me in His grasp;
Encouraging me to walk ahead on faith’s path.
Faith that holds on tight.
That gazes ahead with His inner light.
Rock-solid truth is the foundation strong,
The divine hope that bursts into song.
Joyful sounds form within;
With sure knowledge I belong to Him.
His love has wrapped me carefully with His peace,
That surely promise great increase.
Steadfast love lifts me up when times are low;
It paves the way ahead in great comfort to my soul.
Sweet wonder fills me and overflows in the revelation of this.
My God is faithful and true and I am forever His.
Jesus, my Lord and Savior is truth, life, and the way.
He is the Light that shines in my day.
His love and devotion drew me to the place, I was freed.
His love and sacrifice drew me to my knees.
His love lifted me out of sin and shame’s hold.
And places upon me such favor that is yet left untold.
One day soon I will see the desire of my heart arrive,
Steadfast and true to draw me to His side.
Eternally to be with Him a part;
One forever as His bride and to a new journey start.

Hosea 2:19
And I will betroth thee unto me for ever;
yea, I will betroth thee unto me in righteousness, and in judgment,
and in lovingkindness, and in mercies.

Butterfly Kisses By Brenda Drake

I loved it when my children gave me butterfly kisses and I know they too enjoyed our loving times of affection. It thrills me to know our Lord enjoys it just as much when we draw close to Him.

Butterfly Kisses

Little ones like to place,
Their eyes close to their parents face.
They playfully open and shut their eyes,
And call their antics the kisses of butterflies.
Some children like Eskimo kisses too,
To get close they will use any excuse.
Love is precious when it is given free.
Its touch is kept safe inside as beautiful memories.
The One that is Love loves every moment of the day;
He never takes His eyes off of you and listens to all you say.
This One that has chosen you is never tired of your voice;
His love covers and over you rejoice.
Our heavenly Father proved His love as He sent His Son to pay sin’s price.
The Son proved His love by sacrificing for you His life.
The love of the Holy Spirit hovers over you and lives within;
He always is willing to prove His love again and again.
He comforts when you are hurting and guides when you seek,
He gives a flutter in your heart when His Word you believe.
Joy bubbles up within the redeemed soul,
When praise and worship overflows.
Butterfly kisses are also enjoyed by the God that loves you so much.
When you draw close you will also feel Hua touch;
