“I'm glad to be alive in a world where his gently awakening eyesnourish the morning sun.”-Sanober Khan...
The meaning of dawn is the first appearance of light in the sky before sunrise.
We located 24 verses that speak to the word dawn.
As the time of peaceful slumber fades, I can hear a whisper in my soul: awake, my love, awake… The darkness of night will slowly dissipate as the beauty of the sun’s new light breaks the horizon…
The room is quiet; there is a strange silence in my mind… my eyes are closed as I linger in the moment… It's a time of waiting, a time of yearning, a time of searching my heart, and of deep reflection.
I so long to hear His voice … I long to feel His peace. I long to feel His presence. He speaks of forgiveness… He speaks to my heart of supernatural love; He speaks of a joy that surpasses understanding.
He sees through me like a glass pane. He sees my strengths, weakness, and all my flaws… He holds my vulnerable heart and soothes my aching soul…
I will crave His spiritual presence until the end of time… Who is this marvel that comes to me so softly in the morning light... who has such power over my life? Who has willingly shared Himself with me? Who is this incredible soul that has found me when I did even know I was lost?
It's Him. It has always been Him.
It has been quite a journey, but I will admit it has finally dawned on me that my life will never be the same.
I have fallen in love, Dawn. And the stillness of His presence!!!
The meaning of vapor is a quantity of visible matter, such as gaseous water, diffused through or suspended in the air.
I located forty-eight verses that speak to the word vapor.
I played music, settled in, and began to pray… because I needed God's help in understanding where this white smoky substance would lead me… My mind drifted to a place where my God seems to appear in my mind… But as soon as I saw Him, He disappeared, and I heard in my soul the word vapor. And just like that, He vanished.
I did not understand. So, I sat up and went to where He has taught me so many things…. “His Word” … He delivers them to me with such mystery that my curiosity to discover more becomes overwhelming…
He began to speak softly to my heart. “I am yours for eternity... This life that so many desperately try to hold is truly just a vapor in the wind."
It’s not often I think of my life disappearing from this old crusty world…But today, He brought me here… Time is fleeting… Days are getting shorter … Are we fulfilling our destiny to love and be loved? Or are we so busy that we are missing our true purpose??? Love is a beautiful gift from our Creator that will stand the test of time!!
He is the Rauch of my life… He is the very air I breathe... He is the vapor that intertwines with my soul… His Holy Spirit dwells deep within the very essence of this borrowed life. His spirit of love is the gift for all souls for eternity!!
Do not let Him disappear like a vapor in the wind…Feel Him in your soul… Cling to Him… Tell Him you are His forever more.
It's Him!!! It's always Him!!
Ruach (pronounced roo-akh) is the Hebrew word for spirit, breath, or wind. When spoken, the word engages one's breath and lungs.
Psalm 39:5
You, indeed, have made my days short in length and my life span as nothing in Your sight. Yes, every mortal man is only a vapor. SelahPsalm 39:5
You do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away” James 4:14.
"God is Great'' means God is the greatest of all, and nothing is Greater than God because He is the Creator of everything, so he is above everything and, therefore, Greatest.
Meaning of great: an extent, amount, or intensity considerably above the normal or average.
We located 66 verses in the Bible that refer to the word great.
Oh great…. How have I been given this word to explain where my heart has traveled…
When we think of the word great, do we place the word in the same sentence when we speak of God, Jesus, or the Holy Spirit!!
Or do we let Him stand-alone…
Do we speak of His greatness? Or do we take Him and His amazing love for granted??
Many only call His name when they need something. Do we understand the magnitude of His heart… I cannot even begin to wrap my head around someone so great… I do not understand how He has loved and protected me since birth… He has never left my side… it was me who did not acknowledge His beautiful existence!!!
I will admit since I have felt Him in my soul, my life will never be the same. How does He do His work?? How does He have the power to sustain His presence in our world for so many decades? How has He had such an impact on humanity?? How has He created our world and the beauty of this vast universe??? How does everything point us to His beautiful Son… Jesus??? How does He send His Holy Spirit to live within each of His Children??? How did I fall in love with Him??? Is this even possible?? I say… without hesitation … yes!!!
It’s Him! It will always be Him.
It will not matter how “He” touches our lives… There will be a day when we will all fall to our knees and acknowledge Him, for He is the Greatest lover of souls… and I love Him more each given day!!
He still WOWs me!!!
For theLordis the great God,the great Kingabove all gods. In his hand are the depths of the earth,and the mountain peaks belong to him. The sea is his, for he made it,and his hands formed the dry land. Come, let us bow downin worship,let us kneelbefore theLordour Maker; Psalm 95:3-7
To all the people who stood by me during this amazing journey, we call life. I love you more than you will ever know just for being there... You will always have a special place in my heart. To the ones that did not take the time to understand and evaporated from my life like a vapor in the wind ...
I want to thank you, You taught me more than you will ever know by walking out of my life. So much more than you would have if you would have stayed...
However, I will admit it is a great loss for all parties not to share this beautiful wonder of life ...But, I am sure one day you will find Him for yourself, and then you will understand...
He has taken me on the most amazing journey. It has been filled with special people, life secrets, and a LOVE that is so...difficult to contain.
I have been blessed to rediscover there is a greater love !! It’s one that has no comparison on earth... It transcends time and space and speaks words of LOVE to our souls.
During these months...I have learned the art of seeing the beauty of each new God-given day. I found loyalty goes both ways... I have found laughter is good for the soul... I found forgiveness frees our minds. I have rekindled friendships new and old. I found that (family) blood does have ties that bind our hearts for life. I owe my Creator a lifetime of Gratitude for teaching me and for the privilege of being able to feel the depths of His amazing love.
As time passed I opened the Bible and listened with an open heart to His written word. And with the wide-eyed wonder of a child, I fell in love with His majestic beautiful Soul...It's at that time I threw caution to the wind.And didn’t worry about what others would think. Because I discovered a love that is not from our world and there was nothing I could do but surrender my heart...
But if you stop and give it some thought... Our hearts have been His since the beginning of time. I do feel one day that we all will return to our amazing Creator when He whispers our name. Each one of us carrying our unique stories to share.
I have been blessed to rediscover His greater love in my lifetime. I found out it's never too late. His grace is timeless. He is the most gentle loving soul I have grown to know. Loving Him has been a heavenly experience. He gave us the most amazing gift! The gift of love...
(1 John 4:8)
It’s Him... Its always been Him
One of the lessons He taught me as I unwrapped this gift of love, is never dismiss anyone in your life...Everyone has value and plays a significant role in what makes us who we are!!! As they say, everyone in our life is either a lesson or a blessing ... And if you are really lucky there are those that will bless you and become both... Because they too feel A hunger for Him in their soul...
I do believe that during this spiritual adventure... I found me... But wait... I must ask, was I ever really truly lost? I think not! He has known my whereabouts since the beginning of time...He has gently taken the time to prove to me that He knows me better than I know myself. He knows my heart, my deepest thoughts... everything from the beginning to the end. (Isaiah 46:9-11)
It was me... I am the one that distanced myself from Him... He never left me! He has always been there! He has intimately reclaimed my soul. And I discovered He has lovingly engraved His very name “IAM” across my heart. He did this even before He loving placed me in my mother's womb... (Jeremiah 1:5)
He WOWs me ... And I ecstatically proclaim “My life will never be the same... “
Much love, grace, and gratitude to you all. I can only pray that you find Him soon...Because we are living in crazy times. And we are now enduring many challenges here on earth. Many of these challenges have proven that life is but a fleeting moment in time...
Eternity with a Greater LOVE awaits... reclaim and rekindle the flame with the one who loves you far beyond our own understanding...
It’s HIM... without hesitation, it’s always been Him.
Indeed, in the path of Your judgments, O Lord, We have waited expectantly for You; Your name, even Your memory, is the desire and deep longing of our souls. Isaiah 26:8
For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. Psalm 139:13-16
The first snow is like the first love. Lara Biyuts
Meaning of snow in the Bible It is a symbol of purity and cleanness but more importantly an example of transformation so we might reflect God in our lives. Scripture referencing snow is found in some of the most beautiful passages of the Bible. And the message it brings should amaze us.
The word "snow" is in the King James Version of the Bible 24 times. It is in 24 verses.
I awoke to it’s dazzling beauty. It’s marvel. It’s purity ... Snow so white, so fresh and new... Each beautiful snowflake carved so detailed. So uniquely different... No two are alike.
How does our Creator do it? I am amazed at His artistry. His vision.. Nothing is left to chance.. Every molecule on this earth has a delicate purpose.
The Bible uses the word snow as a descriptive word to point us to our Creator, His Son, and His very breath..
As I turn the pages of the Bible. My mind drifted to this very popular nursery rhyme. And I had an oh my goodness moment.. A light went off in my head, and made me smile.. “Mary had a little lamb His fleece was white as SNOW.”
He was blameless. Spotless and pure .. A beautiful gift from His Mother Mary and God to all mankind.. I will now recite that nursery rhyme to my grandchildren with a fresh new perspective.
As those nursery rhyme words rolled off my tongue. I could see Him. I see His beauty.. His brightness. His purity. His wonder nothing else compares. He is uniquely different from all the Gifts from heaven..
I will never see a snowflake without seeing Him in my mind.. And as I see Him and this beautiful white wonder, I have the urge to fall into that beautiful soft place He created just to remind me. “He is my soft place to fall in the midst of any challenge. “
And as I fall into the snow I will began to move my arms and legs back and forth ... Just like a bird that has found a new found freedom...Saying I am here! I am here! Count me in !! This is my gift to you ! This my snow angel, and it is calling you ! I am excited to feel you so close ... and if I close my eyes I can see your beautiful face!!!
Snow it’s a beautiful gift to connect us to heaven with love and purity. It even reminds us of His very breath as we can now see the cold air as it escapes from our own lips. We can see and feel His very presence as His breath kisses our soul..
It’s you LOVEs!! It’s always been you!!!
“Hast thou entered into the treasures of the snow? or hast thou seen the treasures of the hail, Which I have reserved against the time of trouble, against the day of battle and war?”Job 38:22-23 KJV
“But by my love and hope, I beseech you: do not throw away the hero in your soul! Hold holy your highest hope!”- Friedrich Hietzsche
The meaning of beseech is to make an urgent appeal.
We located 36 verses in the Bible that use the word beseech...
What a difficult word to wrap my head around!! This word originated from Middle English... I am so puzzled where are these words coming from??? Is He trying to be funny? Is He trying to make me stretch my vocabulary? Did I use these words long ago? I must seek His help to gain a better understanding of what He wants of me.
Please, Elohim, I beseech your help in understanding why you dropped this curious word into my mind this evening.
I did discover that out of thirty-six times, the word beseech is used in the Old Testament, but all but six are used to address God. This beseeching is an urgent request and a call for action on His part. A prayer is spoken in the inhalation of Oh, dear God. A prayer of longing and desperation.
I now have a better understanding... Because I have been in that very state of mind... I desperately long for His beautiful presence. There have been times that I have felt His presence so strong that I felt Him within the depths of my soul... I will confess it’s so easy to get deeply lost within Him... He is all-consuming!!
I have been so lost and consumed that I found myself engulfed in a state of His heavenly bliss… It’s the most incredible, heartfelt moment when our soul can speak to Him without uttering a single word... His love is not of this world and is so difficult to explain. I just know when I am in His presence, I am whisked away to a spiritual place of complete surrender!! It’s there I find myself humbly begging Him to stay!!!
Elohim, I beseech you to just linger here with me for a while… Open my heart and never stop whispering your love song to my soul!!!
It's Him! It's always Him, and I am undone!!
Then called I upon the name of the LORD; O LORD, I beseech thee, deliver my soul. Psalms 116:4
Will you ask God to bring you to the place where you're willing to be willing? - Johnny Hunt...
Meaning of willing ready, eager, or prepared to do something.
We located thirty verses in the Bible that point us to the word willing.
When I began to search my heart and ask am I willing … My thought drifted here. Am I a willing messenger for Christ? Do I share His love with anyone that comes within six-foot proximity of my personal space? If we have learned anything from Covid six feet apart seemed the magical number… Not really… There was more… always more to do…. more to share…
How much is enough?? Are we willing to listen? Are we willing to act? Just how much are we willing to sacrifice? It seems so simple. Yet so difficult to accomplish… When we deal with people, we seem to have too many choices? So many variables?
How can we become more? How do we as messengers know if our message falls into willing hearts? As I tried to unravel this word it seems that my heart got in the way and pointed my soul to a love that was willing…Willing to give me His all… Everything!! To the very last drop of His own blood. His last dying breath… He was willing to act…He was willing to love me for who I am. He was willing to sacrifice everything for my future, my love, and my heart...
I will admit He invaded my personal space… But was it truly an invasion? Or did I willingly surrender my heart?? At first, I did not understand the magnitude of His greatness?? I did not understand the depth of His love… Growing to know Him has made His sacrifice personal… And to think He willingly went to that degree for me… How can I match that kind of love…? Many say that it’s impossible!!
I am finding that we are so limited in our earthly bodies… But our soul can move our heart in ways we do not truly understand… Can we soulfully love Him deeper than anyone that walks upon this earth? Spiritually speaking, I am so willing to try… Are you willing to join me?
It does take commitment and a willing heart… But the rewards are heavenly…
It's Him. It's always Him…
And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.Deuteronomy 6:5
No one has taken it away from Me, but I lay it down on My own initiative. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This commandment I received from My Father.” John 10:18
Then the people rejoiced because they had given willingly, for with a whole heart, they had offered freely to theLord. David, the king, also rejoiced greatly. 1 Chronicles 29:9 ESV
Take from among you a contribution to the Lord. Whoever is of a generous heart, let him bring the Lord's contribution: gold, silver, and bronze; Exodus 35:5
"What we do in life echoes in eternity." The Gladiator
Meaning of tug: pull (something) hard or suddenly.
I cannot locate how many times the word tug appears in the Bible. because I feel this yearning in my soul to move on... I was fast asleep. But felt this gentle tug at 3:33 am.
What is this tugging in my heart I feel so deeply? What is the whisper I hear in my soul? What is this magnetic pull that takes me to places I could only dream of??
Is this a heavenly call that we are waiting for?? Is this a spiritual connection that has been put into play since God breathed His breath into my lungs at birth???
Do we feel His gentle tug within guiding His us home?? Is this our purpose? Our destiny?
If the Holy Spirit dwells within us. Then it is possible that this tug we feel is the Holy Spirit trying to pull the pieces of the much larger plan together? Are we such a small fraction of God's greater puzzle?? ...
So many questions? I feel like a child, so small, so inquisitive, so in love with this wonderous spiritual presence of my God. My Heavenly Father, my beautiful Creator. In the grand scheme of His amazing creations, I am just a spec in His eye. But He makes me feel like I am the most critical moment of His day? How does He do this? I know I am not alone. How does He give so many of His children His undivided attention?? I must say He still wows me...
Do you feel Him in your soul? Do feel His gentle tug in your heart? Do you hear His whisper echoing in your mind???
Are you awake? Have you been drawn into Him? Or is the human element in you so strong that you are playing tug-war with your soul... I do believe as humans we think surrendering is a weakness.
But I ask you how we can think that it is up to us to surrender? When we already belong to Him. It's only our mind surrendering to our soul and opening our hearts to a spiritual world of His love.
I actually love when He tugs at my heart and soul. I do not care about the day or the time...
My mind willingly surrenders.
Because I have experienced His love, and it is not of this world... He truly cannot be described in any earthly language...
He is a spiritual relationship, intimate, loving, and kind.
As I studied the word “tug” I was drawn to this “tug of war” but as I wrote this word tug it became apparent to me that with God it became a “tug of love”
And again, He walked me into a learning experience... Tug of love already exists it means.
1. A dispute over custody of a child or children.
It's His war against the evil one. To gain full custody of His children...
It's Him! It will always be Him.
I pray you to feel His tug. I pray you to wake up! I pray you to surrender because your life will never be the same...
The Lord is my protector; he is my strong fortress. My God is my protection, and with him I am safe. He protects me like a shield; he defends me and keeps me safe. Psalms 18:2
You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact, the Spirit of God dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him. Romans 8:9
Divine love glorifies the heart and shines from within the soul. It is uncontainable...
Spiritual love can refer to a love rooted in a spiritual connection that helps us find meaning and purpose in our lives.
There are 100 verses that speak of love in the spirit.
How can you explain the unexplainable? What is this magnetic pull on the human heart that leads us to our Creator? How and why can we LOVE someone we can not see with our physical eyes...
So many mysteries and questions swirl around our heads as we attempt to understand God with our limited thinking...
I have discovered you can not place such vastness, such wonder such intensity, and love in a descriptive box.
So how do we love something our mind can not comprehend? There are many books where we can read what others have experienced.
I can only speak from my heart...
I believe we must strip all of our human understanding and free our minds much like an unencumbered child. He will gently remove the chains that bind our soul and take refuge in our heart...it’s that intimacy with our Heavenly Father heart that our souls crave...
Have you ever been swept away and wrapped up in a love so intense, so deep, so kind... so moving that it takes your very breath away.
My soul has been to that intimate place with His heart... My soul knows Him... My soul has loved Him even before I was born.. (Psalms 139:13)
This spiritual love will take your heart to places that your mind can never go... He will open your soul and light a passion that you never knew existed!!!
He is such a relentless pursuer. Time is irrelevant to Him. He invented the art of romance and has perfect timing... How could He not be the Father of romance after all the Bible is clear it tells us “God is love” (1 John 4:16)
When this amazing phenomenon happens, You will allow His love to engulf your every pore!!! You will willingly surrender your heart, soul, and mind...
And in an audible voice, you will whisper to His heart, I surrender. And He will become as important as the air you breathe.
Somewhere during this spiritual journey, you will learn to trust Him with your life. And you will recognize that falling in love with Him is part of His master plan. He will remove the veil from your eyes and allow you the privilege of seeing His vulnerability and beauty! You will be so close you will hear the rhythmic beating of His heart, and feel His overwhelming presence
It’s at that very moment in time you will realize that this is your purpose and the reason we were formed in our mother's womb... (Ref Psalm 139:13)
I ask you how could He be the “God of LOVE” without someone to love? Love is meant to be shared. If it is not nurtured and shared will it eventually die?
He is the reason the only reason, we exist!! It’s Him! Find Him and write your own love story with the Father of romance... I will dare to say your life will never be the same!!!
It’s Him. it’s always Him!
But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you. John 14:26
The most fragile hearts carry the deepest thinking souls...(lg)
Meaning of fragile easily broken or damaged.
The word fragile only appears three times in the Bible...
When I think of the word fragile my mind sees a gentle beautiful rose... how delicate each rose petal seems. She is much like our life... beautiful and delicate and as precious as the dew that gently kisses her each new day.
Do we value this gift of life? Do we value each new day? Do we value each soul that touches our life? Do we value the time spent with others? Do we value our Creator, or do we robotically take all things in our world for granted?? Life is fragile. Time is a fragile gift... How we spend and share our time can change how we value the things that surround us each new day...
If there is one thing, I have learned during this amazing journey is that I am fragile. Life, Love, and time are all fragile!!!
I had this idea in my head that I was in control! I felt I was a fairly strong, confident human.
But when God stripped me down to the rawness of who I truly was ... I became like a fragile infant in His caring hands...It was a scary but beautiful time of discovery ... I had to face who I had become...
As He gently unraveled my mind, my body, and soul... I remember saying ...
I felt like I was coming apart at the seams... My heart felt like it was being circumcised... My heart became fragile, and it did bleed... I won’t lie it was sometimes a painful process...
But as He began to peel the layers of life away... My once bound soul began to breathe... My heart began to sing a new song... and Life seemed to burst into amazing living colors ...
It sounds strange, but I was not even aware that I was in this state of robotic living ...
Until one day ... I met this amazing living loving God... He is my Knight in shining armor!!! My Savior, My heart ...
He gently held me as I spiritually became undone ... He wiped the many tears that fell ... and I was drawn into His heart as He gently whispered words of love to my soul...
He methodical began to teach me new ways to see the beauty of life...and I felt a love that is not of this world... and like the famous nursery rhyme Humpy Dumpty He began to put me together again... He lifted the fog and I could finally see...
I now realize in my robotic state I was missing so much. I had become lost in life. My strength was a cloak that I adorned before others... So they could not see my internal fragile state...
I found being in that vulnerable fragile state was not as bad as I once thought... I did learn, If I run to Him, and allow Him to hold me in His loving hands ... He is all I need… He is all I need to face each beautiful new day...
He has realigned my heart and what I value most... Life... Love... Time & Relationships...
I am still a work in progress ...
He has given me a beautiful irreplaceable gift!!!
It’s Him, It’s always Him!!
My Knight. My Love... My strength!!! With Him all things are possible!!! He WOWs me.
“I leave the gift of peace with you—my peace. Not the kind of fragile peace given by the world, but my perfect peace. Don’t yield to fear or be troubled in your hearts—instead, be courageous! John 14:27
