Grace Has a Face is an intimate worship ballad that invites listeners to look beyond the concept of grace and encounter the heart behind it. Through gentle melodies and reflective lyrics, the song reveals a simple truth: grace is not merely a gift from God...
it is found in the face of Jesus Himself. A tender reminder that we are known, loved, forgiven, and never beyond the reach of His mercy.
But it's something we all have in common, no matter what our differences may be. Perhaps we could all share a little more kindness, humility, and love. Forgive Me, Lord, If My Human Is Showing is a quiet reflection on the daily journey of becoming more like Him while learning to navigate this beautiful, messy thing called life.
Distance is the amount of space between two things or people.
Sometimes I feel you so close… but I cannot see you! I cannot touch you… What is this chasm between our worlds… you are so close yet so far!
Do we have the resilience to go the distance? Can we persevere and reach our full potential? Your world seems so enchanting, so ideal, and so beautiful! Can we ever transform ourselves to be deserving of walking alongside you? Where we can devote our time to getting to know your every step? Where we can be moved by your soothing voice? And where we can feel your indescribable touch.
How can our minds even hope to understand the magnitude of what we will experience? Will my heart swell with a love that cannot be put into words? How is it that you are so extraordinarily wonderful? I would find such delight in keeping you all to myself, but sharing you brings me a joy that is beyond measure. Is that part of your master plan?
Oh, my beautiful one I humbly pray that I can endure this earthly life and go the distance. Give me the strength to live a life that will lead me to you.
This love you have shared is my guide, my strength, my soul. You are my North Star!
It’s you! It has always been you!
Love knows no limit to its endurance, no end to its trust, no fading of its hope; it can outlast anything. It is, in fact, the one thing that still stands when all else has fallen. 1 Corinthians 13:7-10
“The fears we don’t face become our limits.” – Amy Elizabeth
Meaning of lost: unable to find one's way; not knowing one's whereabouts.
The word lost is in the Bible forty-nine times.
Lost, have you ever felt lost? Have you ever witnessed a child when they have lost sight of their parent and panic sets in… They are afraid, tears stream… cries can be heard!! I do believe we still can feel that panic and anxiety as adults. However, as adults, we learn to internalize those emotions or choose to suffer in silence.
The lost feeling can manifest within for many reasons. This life can be unpredictable and difficult at best. Each day is a difficult hill to climb. But how do we cope? How do we hold on to a rope that seems to be unraveling? Darkness and doubt can overcome our very existence.
Where do we turn when our hearts are longing for relief? Where do we go when our souls are aching for answers? It sometimes seems to hurt so bad that we bleed.
I am not a doctor or even qualified to give medical or clinical advice. But I can share my heart. I have found a healer, a therapist, a friend and a lover of our souls. That if you will open your heart and let His light in He will heal every scar. He will fill every void. He will bring peace to your soul that you will have difficulty in understanding. Where there was once darkness, you will feel a warmth from the love that will glow from within.
There is no medical insurance needed, no copay. His heart is open 365 days a year, rain or shine… I can’t recommend Him enough.
So, how do you contact His office? Go to a quiet place. Close your eyes and call His name and wait on Him… Open the life manual He provided. It’s a best seller and holds a wealth of information…It’s called the Bible. Meditate on the words between the pages day and night. The most important action is to chase Him with all you are worth. Never give up, the rewards are endless…
The only true cost is to LOVE Him… He will return love to you, far greater than you ever knew could exist. So, now I will ask you who in our troubled world could not use this type of LOVE.
It’s Him, It's Always Him!!
For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence, for my hope is from him. He is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not be shaken. Psalm 62:5-6 ESV
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. John 14:6 ESV
Therefore, whatever you have said in the dark shall be heard in the light, and what you have whispered in private rooms shall be proclaimed on the housetops. Luke 12:3 ESV
I have found my first love in the sanctuary of my spiritual mind, body, and soul. He is my escape from the outside world and my forever hiding place. With Him, I am embarking on a wondrous journey of self-discovery as He patiently guides me through the intricate labyrinth of my soul. He is the missing piece to the earthly void that chases me. He is the one who completes me and makes me whole. With Him, I am never alone.
He patiently awaits… with open arms, yearning to listen to my deepest thoughts, secrets, and desires … He accepts me as I am, even with all my frailties and flaws… He guides the vulnerable child within me as I stumble through each God-given day… He fills my heart with an intoxicating love that breathes life into the mundane existence of human life. He is a spiritual experience that radiates a peaceful state of soulful surrender, satisfying every fiber of my restless soul… He is the Master of hearts, holding mine gently as I forge a path.
I will always wonder why it took me so long to find Him!!! I was not blessed to know Him as a child… I only knew of Him. I will admit, I found His beauty in the latter years of life… However, I cannot take the credit because He found me. Silly me, I didn’t even know I was lost.
I have missed so much by knowing Him only for such a short time. So, the hunger you see to know more about the Soul that has impacted my life wondrously is fueled by the knowledge that my life is ticking by, and I do not want to waste another moment without growing my knowledge and love for Him.
With every tear that falls upon my face, I am reminded of His unwavering love and awe-inspiring presence.
I humbly hear Him gently whisper to my soul …
“My child, there is so much more to discover. The sweetest gift lies beyond your world." "It lies within me… Close your eyes, take my hand… and let’s embark on the journey written for you alone!”
And my heart whispers …
It’s Him! It will always be Him!!
And I am undone…
He is...
My sanctuary! My spiritual love from another world. He is my spiritual guide home…There is so much I have yet to comprehend fully!!
I am beyond grateful for the opportunity to love Him!! My Elohim!

My hope still is to leave the world a bit better than when I got here. Jim Henson
Meaning of Foster: To encourage or promote the development of (something, typically something regarded as good).to cherish (a plan, hope, etc.) in one's mind.
The word foster is referred to approximately 6 times in the Bible.
When I started my discovery of this word, I found that the word Foster is typically paired with the word child. I am not sure where this word will lead me, but I know our Heavenly Father has a plan... The word seemed to make its way into my thoughts while I was driving… How does He do that??
While studying the meaning above I began to ask do I foster anything or anyone in the world… Do I take the time to encourage dormant souls? Am I a small part of developing a message that can help someone find hope? Do I cherish the one who gave me life? He is teaching me so many things about life and love.
But do we share our hearts and love with others as He has asked? Has that word vulnerable made a home in our souls?? Do we foster goodwill toward all men? I cannot be the only one that wonders… Am I listening to my Heavenly Father's voice? Or am I out here flying solo?? Are we helping Him touch others in His name? Or do we do things to show the world we are Christians? Instead of helping without praises. He knows our hearts… and our every thought.
“Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.” Matthew 6
I know we all think He is omni everything and can do it all…
But since the beginning of time, He engaged man, in His master plan because of love not because of need. He wants to foster relationships with His children… These relationships cannot be formed in a vacuum it takes two loving souls. I invite you to ponder these thoughts and see where He leads you... I can only speak for myself.
I asked Him to be a part of my life a few years ago… And I have been building a relationship one brick at a time, with one of the most incredible souls I have ever encountered. Every day is such an amazing adventure… However, I am afraid I have only begun to scratch the surface… He is so beyond our human comprehension...
But the one thing I am sure of is, He gave me a message of love to share… I can only pray that these words I have written penetrate your soul…
If I sound zealous in my delivery it is because I have felt His great love stirring within my heart. There is nothing that compares. He placed a burning desire within me to share His great love… I personally want anyone that reads this or hears His voice to receive His amazing gift…
So, open your heart and invite Him in… And wait... He will take you in His loving arms and He will help you build your relationship one brick at a time… And your life will never be the same.
He WOWs me
It's Him, It's always Him.
But those who embraced him and took hold of his name., he gave authority to become the children of God! John 1:12
“The more easily you get offended, the less developed you are as a human being.”―Robert Celner
Meaning of offend; cause to feel upset, annoyed, or resentful…
We located 44 verses that deal with this annoying word “offend”
We have kicked this word around for weeks. And we have the bruises to prove it. The first thought that came to mind is one that every child has said at one time or another… “Sticks and stones may break my bones but words can never hurt me!” Oh but contrary, words, and actions do create damage … Damage that goes far deeper than any physical pain.
Our world needs help…I see so many people getting offended for so many things both small and large..
Have we become so callous that we no longer care? Or have we become so self-centered that we now wear our feelings on our sleeves???
Sometimes we need to take a breath and think before we strike out and leave the damaging winds in the wake of our words and or actions…
So how can we bring about this change?? How can we bring peace and understanding into our lives??? The only answer I have is let's study the man who showed us how to love when offended? How did He demonstrate this unshakable power and strength when challenged by hate and ridicule?
Again I can only share my thoughts… I do feel He has this humble confidence in knowing who He is… He did not have to flex His muscles to prove a point… He was true to His convictions and He knew that diminishing His opponent's self-worth was more damaging than just loving them…
That is what I love about Him. He loves without judgment. Even when we are wrong. He wears the armor of His Heavenly Father, And that my friend makes Him unoffendable!
Let’s study the master and become more like Him.. Be confident in who you are. Sometimes proving a point is not worth your salvation or peace. Wear your Heavenly Father's Amor.. and strike out in LOVE… I hope you agree our world needs more love and fewer people being hurt by undesirable words and or actions.
Be the child He knows you can be!!! Be more like Him!!
It’s Him. It’s always Him!!!!
Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them. Psalms 119:165
