I trust the Lord with all my heart, sometimes I do not understand why things happen, but I believe the Word of God. My God is trustworthy.  He is all I need according to His riches in glory. The wise will rest in His care.

Trust Is

Trust, a small word that encompasses much,
As we examine its magnitude just a tip of it we touch.
Trust does not strive to reach its goal.
It is more like a rest that flows.
Trust does not accuse and does not easily turn away.
Trust stands firm and it cannot be swayed
When God requests trust He desires us to believe;
Even in harsh times; no matter how desperate the need.
Trust is not based on perfect knowledge of all things.
It is grounded on the reliability of the Most-high, risen King.
Trust is unable to survive
In the same vessel worry or fear abides.
For worry is the opposite emotion- it testifies distrust.
To truly glorify God, to renounce anxiety is a must.
Trust will expect the best, marching forward without pause.
Trust will rejoice in truth and integrity of God’s laws.
To trust your God and His ability and might
Is the greatest wisdom your soul can delight.

Psalms 9:10
And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee:
for thou, Lord, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.

Waves of Comfort

When your heart is hurting come,
Enjoy the holy presence of God’s Son.
The loving touch of the Holy Comforter
Will heal and fix your inner hurts.
When heavily walked upon and joy has fled,
Come allow the Comforter to show you how to forgive.
When confused and you do not know the way to go,
Allow the Word to guide you – so you can in the Spirit flow.
I fill hearts with gladness and mind with truth and power;
And with love in the world’s most troubling hour.
Waves of comfort flow to you and through you to lift and to edify.
Surges of God’s goodness are your eternal supply.
Beauty for the ashes, mourning is by joy replaced,
All are provided by God’s provision of grace.
Waves of God’s mercy flood the land,
Overflowing those who seek to understand.
Great, abundant, heavy showers of love,
Come from the Lord above
Whatever you need and desire that is well and fine,
Will be provided in God’s time.
Come allow the Holy Spirit to touch, 
You in your deepest place, with His waves of love.

2 Thessalonians 2:15-17
Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle. Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace, Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work.

Before I was allowed to marry I needed to take catechism classes.  I desired to find God.  I gained knowledge of all the necessary prayers and was faithful to confess my sins, but I did not yet know God.
After about five years of marriage my hurting heart was ready to call it quits.  My husband was just as needy as I was.  It was at this time I became fully aware of evil; the tormenters began an onslaught within my heart and my mind.
I had a battle to fight, and all I knew was there was a God; and I called upon His protection as I recited my formal prayers.  God is so good.  He saw me, He heard me, and He protected me from the evil ones as He continued to woo me and draw me to Him.

The Protector

Once upon a time not so long ago,
There was one with a yearning in the soul.
Life was a nightmare that never seemed to stop.
Every attempt to please seemed to be a flop.
The tender heart was broken; it seemed everyone turned away,
No matter how much she tried to obey.
The fear of rejection became uppermost in the mind,
So she hardened her heart and discontinued trying.
Even in this sad state when rebellion entered in,
And when her life was toying with sin,
The heart cried out in protest as eyes searched to see
What she yearned for deep within her being.
Over and over the nightmare returned.
She could not receive – love was spurned.
God sees and hears every sigh
He is aware from on high.
He hovered over and planted the seed of hope,
And gave her the ability to cope.
He wooed and called out of death’s wrap.
He saved the soul that was entrapped.
He picked her up and chased away the tormentors – not a few,
And He carried her, His kingdom into.
He asked her to be His bride,
And then He moved inside.
She is happily waiting the day
When He will arrive and take her away.

The enemy is constantly at work to convince us that we are not good enough, or that someone else is not up to par.  I am excited to learn more each day that though the enemy may try to rip us apart, we do not need to allow it to happen.  When we are one with the Creator, one with each other, and one in the Spirit, we are entwined with love.  I am sure we do not fully understand the beautiful truth of His full salvation.  We need to remember that our God is forming His masterpiece from the inside out, weaving His love in and through all of His creation!

Tightly Entwined

To take a basket apart is hard to do
For it is woven tightly and will hardly move.
It so retains its shape.
That to pry it apart, it will break.
Now this is silly, why would you try?
What good would the reed be so brittle and dry?
It would no longer be of use anymore.
Never again could it be as it was before.
This story is to show you another truth to see–
This is how hard it is to be separated from Me.
We are even more entwined than this
For we are fused together, a perfect fit.
The chosen vessels are woven together too,
So in unity they will move.
The destroyer causes divisions in the body of Christ
By doctrines of differences and unneeded strife.
Never is he able to end God’s work on earth.
Never is he able to destroy or dismantle the Church.
When you are feeling frazzled and falling apart,
Remember, you are entwined with the Father’s heart.
No one can separate you from His loving care,
And that He is of all things fully aware.
The Holy Spirit is busily mending each break
For God’s will is taking shape.
Soon the beautiful work is done,
The masterpiece prepared for God’s Son.
A beautiful bride that is so intimately entwined with His love.
A work that is very pleasing, it glorifies the Father above.

John 17:21
That they all may be one; as thou, Father art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us; that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.

I am a more loving person now that I know The God of Love. He is at work within me when I crucify the selfish desires of the flesh.

Great Love

A love that denies defeat, that does not listen to the enemy’s lies,
That sees good; but will evil recognize,
A love that reaches out and seeks to show the way,
To do good and to God’s Word obey.
This love is for the Master and from Him also comes
It is a supernatural love bestowed by God’s Son.
His love within seeks to serve and to give.
It is proof that God inside of you lives.
This love desires peace and harmony and hates strife;
This too is proof that God rules in your life.
The dedicated life stands tall and is not of Christ ashamed.
There is no sweeter sound than the mention of His name.
This love is not weak; instead it is strong,
For within, you hold the power to stand against wrong.
Your do not cower in fear when encountered, no indeed;
For you are a warrior that knows the battle was won at Calvary.
Your love for God is so great you would die to say it’s true;
For to love His love successfully, to die daily, is what you need to do

Deuteronomy 10:12-13
And now, Israel, what doth the LORD thy God require of thee, but to fear the LORD thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the LORD thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul, To keep the commandments of the LORD, and his statutes, which I command thee this day for thy good?

Psalms 18:1-3
I will love thee, O LORD, my strength.
The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower. I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.

I am so looking forward to this wedding party ahead. I love to think of its beauty, knowing full well it is much more elaborate and wonderful than the most imaginitive imagination!

A WEDDING STORY

Before the bride enters flowers are strewn on her path
A flower girl walks ahead adorning her tracks
A pretty picture is this scene brought to mind
At weddings it is seen many times
Then to the music enters the bride
With the one that represents the father at her side
All eyes are drawn to her, she is the one all must see
She walks to the one she’s chosen to be
Her companion for the rest of her life
She knows he is to be her husband and she is to be his wife
Know the air is filled with the aroma of heaven coming down
There is a celebrations like none other to be found
The bride is preparing for her Groom to return for her
She has made her decision…she has given Him her word
He is so fully committed to her that she is engraved in His heart
He has sent His Spirit to help her to her journey start
Her eyes are so beautiful as she searches to see His face
So precious is her image in His sight it can never be erased
A love so eternal it will never end
Soon the wedding feast begins
If you take a deep breath perhaps you may the aroma smell
If you are still and listen you may hear the wedding bells
If you lift up your heart with anticipation you will feel
That your Groom has touched it with His seal
With a love so gentle and yet so, so strong
That you know that you know to Him you belong

Revelations 19:7
Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
