Version 1.0.0

Chapter 1

It boggles the mind to think someone loves us enough to die for us.  But greater still is the mind-blowing realization the Creator of the universe loved us enough to not only die for us but also chooses to live in us.  His love is never ending.  It is indeed extravagantly elaborate; He is willing and able to provide for our every need.  He is truly our prince charming! He is Lord of lords and King of kings.

Extravagant Love

Love created – those created rebelled,
Evil entered to lead the way to hell.
Love had a perfect plan,
But it needed to help the blind to see His plan.
Love reveals Himself to those who will obey;
To tell others in need and to lead the way.
It is an extravagant love that never stopped its flow.
Only an extravagant love would choose to die to save every soul.
This love will not force His self upon those He desires to touch.
But He will never stop demonstrating His love.
The free choice to choose or reject Him is His first gift given to all.
But He will never stop wooing the one who will hear His call.
Extravagant love tasted death so death would lose its sting.
Extravagant love makes a pauper a child of the king.
Jesus is the love-word spoken from the cross of shame.
A love-proposal to offer His name;
An over-the-top expression of devotion to call His bride.
When He said it was finished, He for them died.
But this love could not in the tomb stay,
He arose conqueror, alive in every way.

Ephesians 2:4-5
But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)

His Far Reaching Thoughts By Brenda Drake

            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.
