Acquaint Us With Unknowns of Your Love Songs

I move unhurriedly

 up and down life’s call today;

finding myself traveling like a song,

playing in everything I do. 

His Love

has Touched

the central part of my sensitivity. 

I am Bouncing

as His Hand Strums my heart

with His Vibrations

as a Fine Tuned Note that Rings

as I Float in this Solid Tone

until

He Changes the Pitch for me to Ride.

≈

Then another Note Catches me

and Swiftly Carry’s me to the next Tender Sound

He is Orchestrating

with Precision

as I surrender and fall to the Grace of His Catch. 

I have been Beckoned

to Become part of a Song

much larger than a single note Called to be. 

Merged in a combination of His Assortment,

the Fine Tuning of my clatter

will move the Master Instrumentalist

to Compose what ears have yet to hear. 

Yielding all my steps to His Will

and His Love,

 takes all my mistuned struggles into a Sensor

of His Holy Sound,

which will Pull and Stretch me

into a Precision of His Accuracy Working in me. 

What was incorrect will now Sound Exact

as His Fingers Form such Reverberation

it can only be heard

by a Silent Profound Supernatural Listening. 

For His Name Chimes Ferociously

as the Name itself Thunders of its Power. 

Bolts of a thousand lightening flashes

do not come close

to the Piercing Explosion of One Sound

of His Name. 

Escalating, Rising, the Soar of just a Whisper ,

deafening to the human ear,

but by His Spirit it Becomes a Work of Art,

an Arrangement Organized

by the Master’s Structured Discernment. 

His Song, Singing through me,

one He Loves;

He Proved nothing was too much

to Give

to Win me to His Life. 

Sing, Jesus;

Play Heaven’s Song upon earth

through the instruments of surrender. 

Acquaint us with Unknowns of Your Love Songs.

Awakened

The Awakening of our God… what a thought running around in my heart so full of Your Joy!  This morning Poppa, I feel so Awaken.  I think in reverse and oh how breathtaking the Journey has been and remains with You, as Your Jealous Flame Burns so Forcefully within my soul.  Taking me to such Remarkable Countenances of Your Emotions over me that Frees me to Exist as a lover of Your Name.  I Run and Dance the New Name Given me by such Love Transferred to my account.

I’m wondering; have I been asleep?  Have I been insensitive in the past to the Magnificent of such Love about me?  Have I floated in ignorance while Your Work Successfully Accomplishes the Winning of my heart to You.  For I feel  Awakened  to something Incredible, something Startling to all my senses. I have become so Zealous towards You and the Miraculous You are.  Oh Poppa, Lover of my soul, I can only try to imagine what real Truth I’ve yet to Discover…!  My understanding is held by such a small Portion, yet I find Your Loyalty Amazes me with the Brilliance of Life Encountered a midst such Love.

I am Aroused to be Faithful, I am Stimulated to Seek so that Finding Treasures of You are in Constant Delivery.  I am Stirred to Fan the Flame of a heart on Fire.  Your Love has Provoked my Lovesick soul by Your Kindling Set beneath my heart.  You have Initiated a Friendship that Intimate Love only Knows.  You have Furnished all the Sources to Take me to that Secret Place where Songs are of Constant to Stream Forth the Playing of Your Love upon me.  You Hold back no Reserves but Burst Open the Door of Your Pleasures toward me as I indulge in the Abundance.  You Guarantee more than I can hold so that my heart is always in Plentiful to Scatter what I Receive.

Find me Poppa, Find me Awaken and Waiting as Your Army is Released to Show Your Power around my life.  Waiting in anticipation like a bride awaits her day of union. I Wait while I Dance for Your Promise is to Return for me.  Your Love Keeps me in the Safety of Your Name.  Your Hopes have been Deposited into my soul and I sing.  I am Waiting in the Chambers of Your Love and I smile.  Your Face has been Seen and I am Awakened to such Abundant Life…!

Cherry Is My Fragrance

The last time I was in Oklahoma my daughter in law, Jerrie, had purchased some really nourishing lotions that had different sweet aromas from Bath and Body Works.  She was so impressed by the scents and results they gave, she wanted me to have one of her bottles for she had many scents.  She gave me one called Cherry.  Ohhhh, I have loved it!  It’s like silk on the body and the smell fills the room with its almost taste-able aroma.   With the advantage of it being such a nice scent, it is so delightfully engaging that it came from someone special and a gift for no particular reason… just wanted to share the enjoyment of what she found with me. 

This morning I was applying my gift from her love, this lotion used on special occasions; for today I’m taking piano lessons to play the keyboard by spontaneous chords rather than notes.  I absolutely love to worship, obviously from my blog, and I have begun to cherish times sitting at my keyboard singing unlearned, spontaneous songs from my heart to the Lord, much the way I write. 

I am so excited to learn this new process of praise.

 So as I applied this luscious scent to soak into my parched skin, what it was pleading for, something unexpected happened.  Of course the smell of sweet cherry filled the room but with it came His Sweet Holy Spirit that began to Speak to my heart of the Father’s Glee over the praise of His Beloved. I could Feel His Gratitude.... His Gratitude...! What Love the Father has, oh what Love...!

I wept as He Wined and Dined me

with this Gratitude for my heart of praise. 

I wept for I can only give back

what He First Gives me…!

God Loves to Give, oh how He Loves to Give for no reason other than to Share His Life with us.  He Created us to need Love so that our lives would find Satisfaction and have Fruits of many Flavors.  He Gives so much, so much more than we can ever understand. 

But when we, in return of this Love, lift up our praise of Who He is and thank Him for what He does, it comes to Him and Fills the Throne with the Scent of our heart. It soaks into His Heart like Love’s Passion Produces. We, a scent that our heart expels, applied from His Love onto our parched soul, produces this Substance of Emotions and Dynamic Pure Silk that Creates the return of Union, one with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.  We offer our thanks, as we declare His Love and Beauty, and He Delights in our praise. 

It is a Sweet Smelling Savor unto Him.

Each of us make up individual Ingredients, of High Important to the Father, of a Rich Aroma that Saturates the heavens as His Throne becomes the Resting Place of our praise.  Our own praise brings Smiles to His Heart and gives Him Great Pleasure.  What a Constant Pouring back and forth where we can never out give God. 

My praise, oh God, one aroma of many, before You; Creating a unique Scent that constantly Changes forever.  Each our own heart (ingredient) to make up the Wondrous Fragrance He Deserves and Receives.

2 Chronicles 2:4 (NIV)

Now I am about to build a temple for the Name of the LORD my God and to dedicate it to him for burning fragrant incense before him, for setting out the consecrated bread regularly, and for making burnt offerings every morning and evening and on the Sabbaths, at the New Moons and at the appointed festivals of the LORD our God. This is a lasting ordinance for Israel.

Running

Written upon the palm of Your Hand,

Father, I come as one You Know –

not just my today

but You already Know the completion of this day.  

You have my heart, Father;

I am so resolved in hearing and knowing You

with deeper understanding each day. 

Your Sweet Love

often causes me to Rest

from my own struggle

and rethink silliness I might run to.  

For sometimes I find myself running,

just running into the need for the next moment

because I am not particularly fond

of the present and wanting more.  

I stop and think about it;

it’s pretty senseless. 

For You have set my feet upon a Solid Rock. 

One that will be exactly what I need

for the very moment I’m running from. 

You cause each moment

to Flourish

with the Sound of Your Might. 

You have no wasted time. 

Father, by Your Precious Holy Spirit,

Teach me

to Learn more about Waiting with You. 

I have only begun to learn

how Beautiful this can be

and I am already so excited

that even in its process,

I still find

I want to run to the next understanding.

 

Poppa, my Father that Keeps me,

oh how Solemn and Peaceful

Your Wait is. 

How the running of all my searches

and frantic busyness

will break down

to Slumber into Your Arms

of Conversation and Contentment

in the Waiting upon You. 

It’s like I can hear my heart beating,

my lungs taking in and expelling air.  

The worries of ‘what if’s’

vanish

while the Gardener begins the Work

of Beatifying ground and

RePlanting Sources for much Harvest. 

My eyes become windows

for my soul to see the Visions

Created by You

rather than my own portrait of want. 

The world fades

and Reality of Life

takes a Dominant Place

and Extravaganza of God Detail

begins to Form.   

This is far from how I thought it would be;

far from my thinking. 

I had swallowed the worlds meaning

of success

and misinterpreted ‘wasting time’. 

For You have a Place

called Waiting upon You

and it has the Delights

of most fascination.  

Taking me into a Place

where Your Thoughts Rule

and Touch into every Emotion

You Gave for our enjoyment. 

I lay myself in Your Hands

with Joy

as I Wait upon You

with such Pleasure. 

It is such a Wonderful Place to be. 

All my senses are Vibrating

as the Wind of Your Spirit Carry’s me.

I  STOP  RUNNING

as I Wait with You...!

Waiting Is So Beautiful

Father, I am so full of Gladness.

And though my life is at major turning places ‘again’ and unknowns,

for I have not walked this Path before;

I am so Safe and have this

unbelievable Peace

from the Constance I have experienced since childhood. 

Learning that even the next moment

after a disastrous moment,

Life can come Crashing in

to make the scene an amazing Beautiful Secret

that my heart did not know

 just seconds before. 

For who Holds the Keys,

but You. 

For who Holds my days,

but You. 

Your Constant Watch

as Your Eyes upon me

has Kept me.

Waiting is such a Beautiful Place. 

What a Sensation,

Waiting upon the Lord;

I Love it. 

Or so today,

for I am finding it such a Blessed Place,

such Resting of Spirit

from all the turmoil of my unknown

yet still on the earth. 

What a Solid Place

for its Foundation

has Released the Warrior

You are over me. 

Should I fear? 

Should I fret? 

Should I check to see how Your Doing? 

Should I wonder who wins? 

≈No≈

 I Rest

for this is a Place within

that nothing touches

or takes from me. 

It has no entrance. 

It is Locked by Your Spirit

that has Sealed

Your Love within. 

I Rest, as I Wait. 

I find it singing,

I find it walking,

I find I just run straightforward into it…

You are Faithful to cause me to Find it. 

For finding of You,

is not me Finding You at all…

but You have Found me. 

You have taken the beats of my heart

and Given me the Beats of Yours. 

You have taken the breath that I breathe

and Given Your Air to Sustain me. 

I am no longer my own. 

I have found Gladness today. 

I have found Eyes of Fire

that has set me with Desire

that Lives from the inside out. 

I Wait with Your Love

Securing me with the eternal Flow

of Gladness. 

I Love Waiting upon the Lord..!

Love Chases After Me

Psalms 23:6 (MESSAGE)

Your beauty and love chase after me
      every day of my life.
   I'm back home in the house of God
      for the rest of my life.

Father, oh Father and Creator of Infinite Passion,

One that exceeds the walls of comprehension

of beauty, mysteries, affections,

of Love’s Passion.

This Outburst of Promise

to Chase after me

is outside my infinitesimal capacity to grasp!

Oh but it Fills me with Focused eyes

as it takes the central part of my heart. 

I Fix my eyes gazing intently upon You. 

For it is absolutely impossible

to find any thing of 'this world'

chasing us with such Luxury.

We are often poor and feeble

to recognize One of Constant Movement

to Cover us with Goodness,

to Chase after us

with Love. 

Love Running Swiftly, more Quickly than aware,

to Reach us

at every Opportunity. 

Chase me, my God,

Chase me with Beauty and Love

every day of my life. 

And Forgive me

when I get lost and seek drastically

to find self satisfactions,

not knowing You are there. 

Oh God,

Oh God who is the Lover of my soul,

I tumble

in gratitude

with this Persuasive Knowledge

and Smitten with this Touch

that Stops me,

I can not run.

Your Chase Draws me

as my emotions encounter Word after Word

Pulling all the strings

of my heart. 

Love so Dynamic

that everything within me

dances

as emotions Release

Your Pure Heart to Love,

my need to Receive. 

Eloquent Love with Deliberate Affection,

Aimed at me

as its Target

to Woe all of my being into Beauty

and Union;

the same Relationship

that Built the sun, moon, and stars. 

To Engulf me daily

with Life Eternal

Placed with in by the Beautiful One.

Jesus is my Song.

I awake early. 

I sing through the day. 

I lay my head upon my pillow

in wait for each Son-rise. 

I fix my eyes upon the horizon

so that I will not miss

one moment

of Your Love Display. 

How could I have known

Love of such Spectacular

Exhibit Bursting

had You not Sent it. 

How could I have known

that Coming Away with Him

would bring

the Completion of all my yearnings

had You not set

my heart of curiosity? 

How could I have found

such Love

had He not

Chased me all the days of my life?

I am so at Home

in the House of God,

Your Love, Jesus Christ, Lives in me for all time.

Psalms 23:6 (MESSAGE)

Your beauty and love chase after me
      every day of my life.
   I'm back home in the house of God
      for the rest of my life.

Impossible Almost Unnoticed

Today I was sharing thoughts in an email to my sisters and without warning I was challenged with convictions over a claim I took credit for that was not mine to take at all, so I just stopped and repented...

God, I repent, for You are always showing us Your Love Unfailing by the Impossible Revealed.  But I believe God wants me to know the impossible is almost unnoticed, for Faith is built and we just ‘walk on water’ without thinking.  Oh God, You are so Amazing.  Keep me in Your Seasons of Transforming my mind to Yours.

This thought has remained throughout my day to rouse my thinking on faith building.  How is faith built?  One of the most amazing events in the New Testament is how Peter walked on top of water.  How would anyone take that first step out of a boat into the middle of a raging sea? 

I speculate… would it not merely begin to be common occurrences; running with Jesus, seeing miracles unheard of, sermons transforming people from one step to the next throughout.  It blows my mind when I read these events… I can hardly imagine what it would be like to actually be there…!!!

This is what I’m thinking.  I want to be surrounded by God’s Amazements so I will someday walk on water.  REALLY..!  I want to Grow in the Things of God in such a way that it can happen and I will step out before I even realize what the heck I just did.  Sure, I’ll probably sink just like Peter, but guess what… Jesus reached right down and grabbed him and what a transforming life event that Peter experienced and tells for eternity. Jesus His Savior in every storm…!  

2 Peter 1:5 (MESSAGE)

So don't lose a minute in building on what you've been given, complementing your basic faith with good character, spiritual understanding, alert discipline, passionate patience, reverent wonder, warm friendliness, and generous love, each dimension fitting into and developing the others.

Secret Love Songs

Singing my ahhhh’s and ohhhh’s with a lifted heart to the Highest - in perfect pitch, in perfect silence; how can it be?  Without a sound heard from those around me, I hum within my disguised countenance, my secret love song to my God who Hears every note I make.  Singing to the top of my lungs yet hidden away where no man can go, music and harmony come together where perfection has found Bliss.

I utter words of praise to my Jesus, my friend forever, as my heart now begins to dance with eyes closing and opening to something going on inside.  How Passionately He Bends His Ear toward my heart to Catch my thoughts so miss-matched and jumbled but carrying a smile for Him. 

I send out love seasoned with age. 

For as a child, barely remembered, I sat on a floor of red carpet and sang a song learned. 

Come into my heart, come into my heart,

come into my heart Lord Jesus.  

Come in today,

come in to stay,

come into my heart Lord Jesus. 

Love Shifting the heavens as the angels came rejoicing of my decision.  So excited to Announce the beginning of New Life in His Kingdom,

me – a child moved by Love’s Song Knocking

as I Sang – Please Come in…! 

Deep, Deep Love Planted as I cried,

nearly a baby of maybe 5,

as Real Life Held me Close to His Warm Heart Beat. 

“Come into my heart”, I sang, as I stayed on the floor wanting to remain, enjoying something phenomenon not experienced up to that moment. 

Tears streaming down my cheek as Love Came with just the Right Amount of Tenderness. 

How could I have known what this Song would do? 

How can I even imagined what my Songs still do to His Heart as I pray and praise and allow the tears fall that make my heart soft. 

I was Loved First and Love Stayed.

I am changed by Compassion that Bends His Ear toward my heart to Catch my thoughts so miss-matched and jumbled but carrying a smile for Him.
