A Journey of Self-Discovery and Love.

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! 

Let us go to the sanctuary of the LORD; let us worship at the footstool of his throne. Psalms 132:7

“Thinking of you keeps me awake. Dreaming of you keeps me asleep. Being with you keeps me alive.” – Unknown

OK.  We must love Him with all our heart, soul, and might. 

Might is an interesting word.  We might do something, or it might mean strength or power.  To love Him with all your might is a tall order.  Most of us might do it now, or for many of us, we might not do it. 

Loving Him with all my heart, soul, and might is a verse that resonates deeply within me.  It is not just a commandment but a call to love Him with a passion that engulfs every part of our being, surpassing any feeling we have ever experienced. 

In John 21, Jesus asked the apostle Peter, “Do you burn with love for Me?”   Peter answered, “You know I have great affection for You.” That was not the answer Jesus was looking for. 

When we burn with love for Him, we don’t want to do anything to displease Him or hurt Him.  How do we know what would displease Him?  What would grieve Him?   We can even know the word by taking heed of His word and not obeying it.  To burn with love for Him is to feel that love grip your heart and soul with such might, power, and ongoing strength that you never want to let go for any reason.  

You can’t explain that love for Him you feel deep within.  His power can make it difficult to utter a word or leave you stuck to a chair where you can’t move.  Loving Him with all your might is the greatest emotion our hearts can achieve.  

Trusting Him is one thing, but loving Him with all your might is a deep and gripping feeling of love that grows stronger daily. It is a commitment, a dedication to keep the flame of love burning within us.  

My thoughts have been rambling.  Please excuse me, but feeling that burning love that starts with a spark and becomes a flame never dies down.  

Embark on a journey to seek Him with all your might, for He will become the lover of your heart and soul in this pursuit! This is not a mere task but a transformative process that will touch you deeply. 

Hear, O Israel: Jehovah our God is one Jehovah: and thou shalt love Jehovah thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. Deuteronomy 6:4-9

To those who are called, wrapped in the love of God the Father, and kept for Jesus Christ. May mercy, peace, and love be lavished on you!” Jude 1-2, NET....

Wrapped in His love. 

Wrapped is mentioned 54 times in the Bible. 

The meaning of wrapped is to be clothed. 

There comes a time in our lives when we realize that He will wrap us in His arms. We long to know this love. We may know the love of our parents or our spouse, but we long to be loved by a deeper love. This love comes to us as we understand that He is a living God who loves us and desires that we love Him. 

When we completely surrender to Him and say we can’t drive this car. I am going to let You drive. At that moment, the Holy Spirit takes over. Your spirit becomes entwined and wrapped together with His. He will never leave you. He has been whispering to you, “Who are you looking for?” You know you have found Him.

Our spirit becomes one with His. We have the same goals and desires. Before, we tried to cover ourselves with a blanket of self-righteousness that never fully wrapped around us. We are now wrapped in His righteousness. There is peace in every circumstance that now comes our way—a freedom that only He can give. 

He wrapped Himself in a human cloak so He could wrap His cloak of love, freedom, and peace around you. 

“I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my soul shall exult in my God, for He has clothed me with the garments of salvation; He has clover me with the robe of righteousness…. Isaiah 61:10

Life Is Short. Eternity Is Long. Live Like It.

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.

Casting Crowns - Who Am I (Official Lyric Video)

“To fall in love with God is the greatest romance; to seek him the greatest adventure; to find him, the greatest human achievement.” - St. Augustine of Hippo

Meaning of find to discover or perceive by chance or unexpectedly.

We located 148 Verses About Find from 32 Books in the KJV. 

I pray that you found yourself on this word study for a reason!! I know why and it's bigger than both of us. 

Ask yourself, what am I looking for..?? Was I just curious? Have you wondered, what is going on with the writer of this blog? She seems a little strange? not the norm? But what is it? There is something going on? I can not quite put my finger on what or why I was attracted to read this post?? I must have landed here for a reason ?? But why?? 

Hmm, what will I find ?? Maybe I should just ask ??  And as you gather the courage.. you ask?  
What is it?  What do you have? There is joyfulness! There is peace? There is a love that seems to show between the lines of what is written?? I want those things in my life!!! How can I get what you have? Can I buy it?? Where can I find it?   

“Well, pull up a chair... And let me share with you an amazing story of love... It’s Him... He will fill your heart and soul with a love that can not be contained!!  He is more valuable than all the silver and gold that can be gathered. More precious than diamonds or precious stones. 

The amazing news is, He has already paid the price for you... The only thing He requires is your love... . Seek Him, Find Him, and Love Him... 
Love Him with all your heart, soul, and mind!! Trust Him with your life!!! He will guide your path."

But be ready!  Your life will never be the same... He will show you wondrous things, many you may have thought were impossible.  You will travel spiritually deeper than you ever dreamed or even imagined. He will lovingly teach you about His world. And as the days turn into a night you will gain a greater understanding of who He truly is!!! 

You will witness the most amazing self-transformation. 

Many know Him as a MIRACLE WORKER... 

Some call Him God, Some call Him Lord. I call Him...King of my heart and lover of my soul... 

He blows my mind and whispers words of love to my soul... 😍

He is indeed an overwhelming and beautiful find !!!! ❤❤❤ It’s Him, It’s always Him !! 😁

Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye. shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh. findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. Matthew 7:7-8 KJV
