Fire Of Your Breath Blows Me Upward

Father, God, King, Great and Mighty are Your Wonders.  I have seen only a

Microscopic Portion

and I can scarcely stand how it Floods my mind with Desire.

One Look Creates a Need for another Look;

One Taste and I am

Scrambling for another Morsel. 

I have been Risen likened as in a

Grand Balloon

while the

Fire of Your Breath Blows me Upward

and the Sights Increasingly Splendid. 

I find familiar places and yet taking on a completely

New Perspective. 

You Give a New Look to an old thought. 

You Give a New Taste to worn out taste buds. 

I know only to cry out for More,

oh Prized Beloved

that has become the Treasure I seek;

Fill me with

Cherished Sights

from the Air of Your Heights. 

I Sing to all…

Come Join my heart to

Blend the Sounds of Costly Surrender

and Watch the Essentials

become the Crucial Significant for breathing. 

Make Sounds of Great Magnitude

as the Holy One

Makes the insignificant of

Influential Value for

His Son. 

Be the Central One’s laughter

as You Dance before His Eyes so Pure. 

Be the weight of His Crown

as you give your life to His Pleasures. 

The Brightness of the Son

will Guide you and Hide You in all storms. 

You will Dance as His Love

shuts the mouth of those looking for trouble;

Hiding you in

His Blushing Color

as you delight in His Streams

Clear as a mountain river. 

Come Soar in His Adventures. 

Come to the Edge

with One who Created this Place. 

Find the Brilliance of His Love

as you allow all the

traffic of worries pass you by. 

Hand over the Control

to the Son

who Chauffeur’s you

in Magnificent Air of Beauty;

Slip Away with Him. 

As He Compels the broken hearted

and the down cast

to the Joy Ride of His Passion,

see what Comes when you

Adopt His Plan and lay down your own.   

Ride

the Grand Balloon as the

Fire of His Breath Blows you Upward.

Fearless To Climb

God, oh my Place of Comfort, my heart that breaks has no fear… no fear anymore to come to You with it all.  Unsharpened by my state of sorrow as I see too many pains and know too many bruises upon the body! 

I have been set to Know that Your Love is eternal and without flaws of disappointment. 

How do I comprehend Your Testimony of Endurance, Your Constance, ever Abiding Love; Love that does not run from me but Covers me with an Adoption by Your Blood?  I am

fearless to climb

up to the Mountain where I know I find the Gift of Your Countenance. For I have Your Harness around my life to catch my falls and Place me back upon the Sure Steps. 

I have lost the fear that You are out to cause me harm. I am found guilty of knowing You are in

Eye to eye contact

with me to Develop me in Your Love.   

To Prove to me that my jumps remain Enclosed in the

Gym of Your Garden

so that even Your Ears hear the flicker of each of my moves.   Ready for a twinkle of my cry! 

Father, God of Comfort to the soul, how do I show such Love; for I find it from You

 but I feel I fail

so desperately in pouring out the same upon others. 

Fail in reflecting the Walk I live with You. 

Oh the joy of realizing that You have the same Love for those I love and seeing Your Love far outweighs and outlives any I have. 

What a walk we walk in… the Abundance of Unmerited Love.   

I continue the climb for the Closer I get I find my own eyes opening more and Your Grace Covering all weak and broken people like myself. 

Thank You for Keeping me and those I love in the

Gym of Your Garden

where Your Eyes and Ears are Set upon our journey to Your Mountain as we are

 fearless to climb,

fearless to speak of all things; committing our thoughts to You for Love, Correction and Direction.

 

1 Timothy 1:15 (The Message)
Here's a word you can take to heart and depend on: Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners. I'm proof—Public Sinner Number One—of someone who could never have made it apart from sheer mercy. And now he shows me off—evidence of his endless patience—to those who are right on the edge of trusting him forever. Deep honor and bright glory to the King of All Time— One God, Immortal, Invisible, ever and always. Oh, yes! I'm passing this work on to you, my son Timothy. The prophetic word that was directed to you prepared us for this. All those prayers are coming together now so you will do this well, fearless in your struggle, keeping a firm grip on your faith and on yourself. After all, this is a fight we're in.

Hebrews 13:5 (The Message)
Don't be obsessed with getting more material things. Be relaxed with what you have. Since God assured us, "I'll never let you down, never walk off and leave you," we can boldly quote, God is there, ready to help; I'm fearless no matter what. Who or what can get to me?

Let Them Go Around

Holy, Holy, Holy One, I speak with a heart in need and I rarely know how else to come. 

I see You as so High, so Abundant, with the Tap of a Toe a whole mountain crumbles.  With just a Glance of Your Eye all Creation stands still. 

And within me, within me… You, You Who Builds the Layout for today’s Projects;

You Placed within me a ‘Need’

to understand this, to want this answered, to have Who You Are Strong and Operating from my heart.  How does this

Raging Need

happen without my heart in a speed I think I should go? 

This morning in early devotion time, I could hear Your Love Cautioning me to Slow Down. 

SLOW DOWN??? 

I don’t understand.  Slow down how and in what area? 

Where is the Speed Limits Posted?   

Today is a journey with the end results of either finding or wasting the Precious Moments of Your Rainbow Encircling the Realm of my steps. 

The dream You Gave me this morning is so worthy of note. 

I was in a large vehicle on a scenic road. 

I was stressing to keep up with the traffic before and behind,

and then I heard Your Sweet Voice say,

Let them go around.  

Oh Holy God, who Wants me Close, I hear Your Suggestion but I wonder, why? I hear You Reminding me of Your Cargo I am carrying; to be Careful for I do not travel alone.  Take the Corners Carefully and do not miss the Purpose of the Trip. 

My Sweet Beautiful Father, who Sees me and Reaches Out to Give Advise so that You can Change dull flavorless water to Rich Flavored Wine.  One Who Travels to the events of my raging needs and Amazes the eyes of many through one; I slow to the Traffic Officer Bidding me Directions, for past Obedience has Uncovered my blurry eyes to  catch a Glimpse of Your Glory Gained that still Gives. 

Today You Declare a Slow Day Designed to let the traffic pass.  What an Especially Different Coaching of my footsteps that obey my heart. The Order of the Day so that all my raging needs are met and

I Witness Your Glory in Unspeakable Measures. 

Intoxicate my soul with Your New Wine as I Slow Down my hurry to enjoy the Festivity Given and surrender to

let them go around

for Jesus is in my vehicle and Wants to Show me Things. 

So be it,

I slow with excitement!

(Message Bible story or water to wine) John 2: 

^6-7Six stoneware water pots were there, used by the Jews for ritual washings. Each held twenty to thirty gallons. Jesus ordered the servants, "Fill the pots with water." And they filled them to the brim.

⁸"Now fill your pitchers and take them to the host," Jesus said, and they did.

^9-10When the host tasted the water that had become wine (he didn't know what had just happened but the servants, of course, knew), he called out to the bridegroom, "Everybody I know begins with their finest wines and after the guests have had their fill brings in the cheap stuff. But you've saved the best till now!"

¹¹This act in Cana of Galilee was the first sign Jesus gave, the first glimpse of his glory. And his disciples believed in him.

James 5:7
Meanwhile, friends, wait patiently for the Master's Arrival. You see farmers do this all the time, waiting for their valuable crops to mature, patiently letting the rain do its slow but sure work. Be patient like that. Stay steady and strong....

Tangled In The Storms

Papa God, I am coming as a child and a parent today.  I see myself as a child before Your Mighty Hand and then as an adult on earth, I am a parent of many and find my family so

tangled in the storms. 

Like me, we are scrambling to find each day’s comfort and avoiding all the storms we can.  I know only to ask You to Save us when we get caught in a storm that blows us aside and our eyes have become fixed on the storm rather than the need to run to the Shelter of Your Arms.  Papa God, You are the Daddy that with just a Finger moves the sky from dark to light no matter what it appears.  You Breathe and we catch the warmth of summer on a cold chilly evening.  Come to my aid, for my heart gets

tangled in the storms,

or what I think is wrong, rather than Your Son Shining while I wake to each moment. 

Untangle my thoughts,

Untangle the relationships for myself and my children as You change our conversation that Pushes back the enemies stumbling blocks.  Place us Safely in Your Shelter as the

lightening of anger only makes noise

but does no harm.  Cause the hail that wants to break our backs Melt before it ever comes close as we Display Your Love upon us. 

As a parent, I cover us with the

Power of Inheritance

Handed to me through the Son of Man, the Son of God,

as I attach the Worth of His Eternal Name,

Jesus,

to our Territory on this earth.   

I pick up the Responsibility Given to Carry on Jesus’ Plan in my family as I fight with His Might to Lock the Doors that would give the enemy entrance. 

As a child of Your’s,

I take my warrior’s armor and lay it down

to pick up the five stones and declare victory as Your Name’s Sake will Sound eternally by the Song within our hearts for You.  

I call for the War of Your Love to have Ground

in my family to reunite the broken pieces and

Gather us and Set us on Foundation of Safety in this storm. 

As His Light burns within the hearts of my family, darkness and storms have no substance.  Jesus, Your Work be done in my family as You Untangle us from the storms.

I stand at Attention…!

Gasping For Love

Found in the Sounds of Morning is the Rain of His Glory Trickling down the very yearnings of my heart for I am

gasping for Love. 

My thoughts wonder about, scattering to frantically find His Song to Meet my challenge for Wonderous Intimacy Favored with the Fruit of His Spirit. 

Love spills forth in search as my heart runs to all our

Favorite Places

to dare see if it should be nearby.  

I fumble with my own pursuit

for I know not how to request this visit without the concentrating of my fainting heart.   

I feel fragile; as if without This Love I die. 

I can not seem to un-focus upon my heart beats of irregularity.  Sharp is the pain that bites my soul as the wind of disappointment tries to speak its worry.   Hopelessness is waiting around the corner to catch me if I go its direction.  Despair whispers its haunting signals as it lingers to observe a possible fall. 

I am powerless to lift my eyes while

gasping for Love,

so I close them

to concentrate upon

His Face I Adore.  

There He is, my Love, my Wonder. 

There He is in a dark place. 

There in the trembling of my soul’s weakness, He Instantaneously Unites with my Reflection, and Voices His Love Promise from Ultimate Purest to be Absolute Always, never to leave me,

EVER! 

In a twinkling of an eye,

gasping for Love,

I found my Savior’s Enormous Force Smash my enemies’ lies and Rapture my heart to His as the Splitting of time was Instant. 

His Interruption of Devine Love Raining in His Glory, I was Caught up by His Radiance in a dark place.  His Illuminating Abundant Elegance was Mighty in Supply as my eyes closed to faint in the misery of my own chase;

Love Surprises me with His Unbroken Promise,

Firm Reminder I am Safe,

Sturdy;

for He is Complete Dependability.   

So I Dance with Love’s Romance

and find Continuous my morning’s Rain.  For I was

gasping for Love

and the Rescue of Love’s Promise Caught me.

Hebrews 13: …5,6…

…for He [God] Himself has said, I will not in any way fail you nor give you up nor leave you without support. [I will] not, [I will] not, [I will] not in any degree leave you helpless nor forsake nor let [you] down (relax My hold on you)! [Assuredly not!]

So we take comfort and are encouraged and confidently and boldly say, The Lord is my Helper; I will not be seized with alarm [I will not fear or dread or be terrified]...

Love Hunts For My Heart

Father, my heart has burst with Your Love. I struggle in my own desires to worship You. I long so deeply to see Your Face in the Secret Place where time has no meaning, we just are.  I want to speak and hear.  I struggle and the Wonders of Your OKAY comes…

Matthew 4:10 Jesus' refusal was curt: "Beat it, Satan!" He backed his rebuke with a third quotation from Deuteronomy: "Worship the Lord your God, and only him. Serve him with absolute single-heartedness."

So I step into a Space where You Fill me with the Surroundings of Your Trust; jumping out into unknown to the Solid of a Rock beneath my feet.   My eyes strike out to find and my ears reach to hear as I embrace a Longing that Entices me to Search, walk around, see the Sights of Amazements.  As Your Wing Beckons to Equip me with a Foundation to Fly for the escape of my soul, I allow my heart to take hold and declare to all else, ‘Rejoice, oh my soul… for the Gift of His Wing has Come.’  The Air made of His Grandeur Bids me to Admire the Magnificence of His Splendor as I move about in the Weight of His Love Lifting me to His Brilliance.   I catch a glimpse where I experience Sensation as I observe Strong Hunger Developing within and I become slain to a New Appetite.  Heavenly Love Forms and I stroke its Embrace and cuddle in its Atmosphere.  Love that Wants me; oh He Wants me with Great Intensity.  Wants me and I hear as

Love Hunts for my heart

for Love’s Sound is Piercing.  He Calls my name by the Desires He Started within me, Pressed Deep within my heart that inquires of such Ultimate Persuades from Love’s Passion.  I sing with enthusiasm for Love’s Life-Flow cause pictures of ordinary to become adoration of single heartedness toward the One I love.  My center of attention escapes my heart as I proclaim my weakness for His Irresistible Kiss upon my eyes for Him.  I have lost grip of worldly senses and insist of only feasting upon the Drink of Love’s Formations.  Designed by the Handiwork of its Nature, Purposed to Steal away any other craving and Establish It Self as Foundation for all remaining life.  I surrender to the Total of Love’s Purpose for me.  I surrender to the Wasting of my life to this Teaching as I ride upon the Wing that Beckons to Equip me as

Love Hunts for my heart. 

I lay to rest all resistance and allow His Love come Live in my heart as my only Savior and vow to accept His Request to Love me more.  I will take Love’s Nature as my own for it is all I want. 

Who Knows How We'll End Up

Lord,

excitedly I am looking this morning! 

Woke wondering where is the

House of the Lord today? 

As I got on the keyboard

and began to sing

this question

I heard myself sing in response,

‘I want to hear

Your Voice,

You want to hear

my heart.’

Knowing this is a Place

where Your Love Flows

and outside distractions seem to be

Directions rather than a hindrance,

it is such a wonderful

Place to be. 

As a child,

I remember waking

to the voice of my

mother

and she knew

 well

what she intended

for my day to consist of. 

Sometimes I got up with the

same heart

and sometimes I did not. 

This morning it feels as though

I am getting up with the

same heart

with just an eager question of

what (?)

is in store. 

How Sweet to read

Your Words

first thing this morning

after

having this conversation with You already. 

1 John 3:1-3 (The Message)

What marvelous love the Father has extended to us! Just look at it—we're called children of God! That's who we really are. But that's also why the world doesn't recognize us or take us seriously, because it has no idea who he is or what he's up to.

But friends, that's exactly who we are: children of God. And that's only the beginning. Who knows how we'll end up! What we know is that when Christ is openly revealed, we'll see him—and in seeing him, become like him. All of us who look forward to his Coming stay ready, with the glistening purity of Jesus' life as a model for our own.

So I will run and play

in Your Love

as John describes us as the

'children of God';

for I take this very seriously. 

I have found the

House of the Lord

many times and it is filled with

Your Treasures

that cause me to be Transformed,

Changed

like a child watching their parent. 

I have seen Jesus there

as I sit under the

Roof of His Love. 

Running with others

to Wonder and Play in the Thoughts

and Teachings of His Power. 

So today…

well, today -

Who knows how we'll end up!

But I am enormously energized

with excitement of

meeting

Jesus Christ

for the Highest Treasure,

for I have

His Life

as an example to explore

and the BEST PART….

Oh yeah, the

Best Part

of today is…

that's only the beginning..! 

Who knows

how we'll end up!
