Loved So Deeply

I offer now,

early this Sunday morning,

something in my heart that smiles. 

Something that one might even call cheesy…

it’s just so full of mush. 

I have a grateful heart this morning

and from that attitude

I find all sorts of giggling thoughts. 

Loved so deeply,

I keep finding my walk more like a skip! 

Loved so deeply,

my conversation seems more

like a song

rather than just a combination of words! 

His Name that brings such Rewards,

has this Melody

that rolls around in my mind

as if a waltz

in step with the Melody. 

The Foundation and Strength of so much Love

causes me

to feel consumed and satisfied

as the total Life Source for my existence. 

As my eyes began to open this morning

I pondered

this Miracle of Life so Abundant. 

With a childish acceptance

I realize I didn’t deserve it

but was Awarded its Gift just because. 

Just because He Is...! 

Just because

He has this Abundant Supply

and long ago,

He Gave it to the world...!

:-) 

I didn’t do anything

to earn it. 

I didn’t do anything

 to own it. 

I am just His and so I get it. 

I am so Loved…!

I Love You, Nana

I stare before me, my Lord, a note upon my monitor that says, ‘I love you Nana’ and a drawing of a heart to represent this love from a portion of the center of my precious granddaughter’s feelings, her heart. 

She placed it on a door

and then decided that her choice of location

was extremely too far away from my eyes. 

She wanted it to be

at the utmost prominent place

where I had no choice

but to get this message she did not take lightly. 

For as a child,

they are quick to say or expose

those they do not like also;

so if you are loved by a child…

you are truly loved.  

And what brings them such delight

when sharing this message with you

is to see your response in return…

your love. 

This morning as I look at this note,

I am reminded

that Jesus has written me so many notes

and in that same hope of my response,

to favor His Gift of Love to me.   

Oh Jesus,

I do,

oh yes, I do! 

How many times

have You wrote upon my heart

and placed it so I would not get through

without stumbling into it. 

How many times have You placed it

on the very objects of my affections

so that You could

Shine Your Presence

and very Heart Beat of Love

where I could not possibly overlook it. 

How many times

have I simply walked my day

to find Your Fingerprints

upon my work and play. 

Oh Jesus, I Love You too. 

So much,

I love You too…!

Open My Blinded Eyes, Oh God

Matthew 20 (Amp bible)

  ²⁹And as they were going out of Jericho, a great throng accompanied Him.

    ³⁰And behold, two blind men were sitting by the roadside, and when they heard that Jesus was passing by, they cried out, Lord, have pity and mercy on us, [You] Son of David!

    ³¹The crowds reproved them and told them to keep still; but they cried out all the more, Lord, have pity and mercy on us, [You] Son of David!

    ³²And Jesus stopped and called them, and asked, What do you want Me to do for you?

    ³³They answered Him, Lord, we want our eyes to be opened!

    ³⁴And Jesus, in pity, touched their eyes; and instantly they received their sight and followed Him.

Great and Mighty Creator and One who Called even sound and sight into existence; how Wondrous it is to think and ponder Your Works with such detail.  I am troubled today with blindness… oh no, not with the eyes that easily see the world and what is in front of my steps, but what is Deeper and Greater than these events.  I find myself at a rock, bent with the weight of sin and troubled heart which blinds my vision from the Son and His Light upon my life.  In darkness my eyes are closed to what is around me that will make me stumble; make me fall as I carelessly run for safety I can’t find.   This morning I am crying as the blind men did for that same Mercy and Pity upon my life.  Your stop my way has given me the boldness to ask for Your Pity and Mercy upon my life so that my eyes are opened as I have known Your Love and Greatness.  Open my eyes to see Your Light.  Open my eyes to have Vision of Your Walk.  Open my eyes today so I will receive my sight and follow You…!!!   Have pity on me, I really want to see..!

Reading Like A Child

Oh God choose me today…

Choose me moment by moment,

daily as I come before You. 

Yesterday I pondered the Worthiness of You

and broke that word

Worth-y

down slowly as it came out

Worth It.

Oh God, You are worth it. 

For me and in my doing,

You are worth whatever my flesh has to go through

to find You there,

Choosing me.   

I know I am a child before Your Throne. 

I see my childishness and I am so humbled. 

Working at a medical clinic I came in yesterday

from a business luncheon;

walked in the waiting room

and a child about 4 years old

looked at me that captured me to a

standstill. 

She showed me her book. 

I stopped to ask her if she would read it to me. 

Without hesitation

she began reading the pictures,

not the words,

but the pictures. 

The story was changed but she was confident

to share every page

even though it was far from the written words. 

Father, this is me too often

as I read Your Word;

sharing and reading the pictures

rather than the Written Word of Truth. 

As a child, with confidence and without fear;

Father, I want to grow up. 

I need to grow up

and not just share what my worldly eyes see. 

I need to have Knowledge

inside my spirit

and declare with the Boldness of Your Life

the Written Word of Truth. 

Reading with eyes of Your Understanding

the Precision of Words from Your Mouth

mixed with Your Spirit within me. 

I release this prayer of my heart

as I grow

in Your Wisdom and Power

by the Life of Your Word Working in me.   

Jesus, continue

to Enlighten me of Your Walk on earth

as it Points to our Father

and the Riches of His Will and Kingdom Come. 

You are Worth – IT..!!! 

Worthy of all praise

and in Your Name

Jesus

I find Truth…!

They Brought Their Children to Jesus

Father, I love the dealings of my heart as I search it and find stirring that seems to gush out.  Oh to find Your Sweet Spirit so Alive and working beyond my mind’s ability to Know Your Master Plan, not the one we design but the one You Design.  The ‘MASTER’ Plan…!  Wow, it causes my soul to leap with such expectations of Heaven’s Realm Manifesting on earth as the Light that brings our footsteps to Your Throne.  I have reached the top of something this morning that gives me assurance of who You Are past my own flesh which may crawl and become weary and even wonder of Your Reality as my earthly eyes see so differently than the eyes of my spirit from which You Dwell; but inside where the Word has made its residence and inside where Your Master Plan has the Blueprints for my day, I sing loud with a push of my own words to Your Throne.  I am taken to somewhere Glorious.  Here in Your Presence I bring again a parcel, my request; that which is more real than my breath.  I bring my request that takes in the existence of where my love has scrambled since 1972 from the birth of my first born.  Now holding two more births since then that continues to raise my level of understanding Your Mighty Abundant Love.  Father, while Jesus walked the earth the people began to see the Wonders of Your Son and mothers who knew the Value of Jesus’ Touch upon the heart of their beloved began to bring their children to Him.  Knowing it would Change the lives of those given to their womb. In the center of their soul, where the Life of Jesus was stirring them as mothers and servants, they boldly began to take their children to the lap of Jesus.  I am stirred this morning as I remain in prayer for my three boys and while I am before You I bring them to You to Touch and pray for their lives as Jesus prays.  Jesus, You who rebuked Your disciples when they tried to push the children away, in this assurance I stand welcomed to bring my children before You for the Touch of God’s Love. Give Command over them, release Your angels to minister to them with the Master Plan You are stirring to be theirs.  Hold their hands and Laugh with them as they play, Reach into their thoughts and Give them Assurance You are always with them as You continually Change them with Growth in You.   I am so grateful and find Your Warm Assurance as I ask for the TOUCH of the Master’s Hand upon my children just as the mothers so long ago pushed their way to Jesus.  I love Your Plan.  I love Your Changeless Essence as we so weakly bring before You the secrets and honesty of our heart.  Knowing Your Mercy, knowing Your Love and the Power of Your Master Plan against our burning flesh.  Finding Your Face and Hands Reaching to my children to Give Life, Oh God, I weep before Your Kindness.  I will sing of Your Love FOREVER.   Never of my own ability to conquer but of Your Ability in me that will bring Your Kingdom to my heart and to my children and to their children forever and ever AMEN..!

Matthew 19:13-14 (Amp Bible)

Then the children were brought to Jesus, that He might put His hands on them and pray; but the disciples rebuked those who brought them. But He said, Leave the children alone!  Allow the little ones to come to Me, and do not forbid or restrain or hinder them, for of such (as these) is the kingdom of heaven composed.
