Meaning of lost unable to find one's way; not knowing one's whereabouts.

The word lost is in the Bible 49 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. But as adults, we learn to internalize those emotions or just 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 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 we bleed. 

I am not a Dr. or even qualified to give medical or clinical advice. But I can share my heart. I have found a healer, a therapist, and 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 a peace to your soul that you will have difficulty in understanding.  Where there 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.  

Its Him, It's Always Him!!

For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence, for my hope is from him. He only 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

Let me hear what God the Lord will speak, for he will speak peace to his people, to his saints; but let them not turn back to folly. Psalm 85:8..

The word perplexed is in the Bible only one time.

The meaning of perplexed: adjective. bewildered; puzzled: a perplexed state of mind. complicated; involved; entangled

This world and people, in general, can bring the most perplexing thoughts. How did we become so distracted from the importance of God,  life, and what is justice and truth? Or are we so busy with creating that facade we want others to see and envy ... Or is it our own hearts' desires of what we are dreaming and chasing? 

Just scroll through any page of social media. What is real? What are lies? What is the truth? So perplexing.. it can bring confusion, it can bring hate.. but there are some that show us it can be real and they show love and light. But do we chase and share the light or do we spread the darkness? 

It can be mind-boggling and perplexing to me when I witness what people value and find humor in..  

I challenge anyone who is reading this.. to gather with me and let’s focus on what is important. Let’s clear the air. Let’s shine God's Light ... He will lift the air of confusion. He will chase away the darkness. I pray we can regain truth and just and live in the real and in the now with a love that speaks kindness, compassion and strives to understand our differences. 

I do believe the day will come when we stand alone in front of our Creator. The question becomes will we be perplexed? Will we be confident and know Him? Will we greet Him with Love? Will we say I have missed your amazing Face! Or will we stand there confused and suddenly realize He is truly real and now we know what we have truly missed! Or will we be scared because we have to show Him all our truths and explain our behaviors? 

Now is the time to go to Him and end-all confusion. He has all the answers! Because HE is the Beginning and the End.. the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last.

I do feel we must focus on God to reach these goals. But I am only one, but all of the “ones” must feel His magnetic pull and come together in mass so we can make a difference in our world... Listen for His voice. He is calling His children home one soft whisper at a time. 

It’s Him it’s always Him 

In every way we're troubled, but we aren't crushed by our troubles. We're frustrated, but we don't give up. GWT

Chris McClarney - I'm Listening (Ft. Hollyn) (Offical Audio)

“Anyone who thinks fallen leaves are dead has never watched them dancing on a windy day.”– Shira Tamir

There are approximately 100 Bible Verses about Times and Seasons.

The meaning of seasons: each of the four divisions of the year (spring, summer, autumn, and winter) marked by particular weather patterns and daylight hours, resulting from the earth's changing position with regard to the sun.

When I think of seasons I think of change.. If we are blessed enough to watch and take in the beauty of nature we can see the cycle of what God outlined for us to witness.  There is such beauty in change.. some can bring harshness but there is always a new birth. 

Our life cycle has many seasons as well... Many are engrained in our Human existence as we travel in our daily lives... Birth, Teen, Adulthood, I do believe Adulthood has the most changes .. Young Adult,  Mature Adult.. and one we have labeled Senior.  Which I think should be called a well-seasoned adult. Their life experiences can teach us many things... If we would just take the time to listen to their stories. They can add so much flavor to our lives.. They have traveled where many have yet to explore ..

So where and how does this word affect our spiritual seasons? I can only speak to my spiritual journey. I must say I was birthed 25 months ago.. and I did not wait to take my first step I say I hit the floor running.  I have experienced an amazing adventure of discovering this new life. I feel there is still so much more to learn about our Heavenly Father, Yeshua, and the Holy Spirit. I can only hope that if you have been on my journey with me that you have witnessed some growth. I feel I have passed the toddler season ..lol

I am at least a teen spiritually 🥰 what an amazing spiritual season .. I have the experience of a seasoned adult in my human life but the wonder of life of a teen in my spiritual life.

I never quite understood the statement  “born again”. But now I can talk to this subject because I am living it.  

I am going to try my best to grab all the excitement of a teen as I grow in knowledge and strength spiritually... But I have decided. It’s Him that brings us this amazing resurgent of wonder and love of life and of people .. your soul feels alive with a love that must be shared... 

He is the catalyst for an amazing season of WOW that will last a lifetime. He keeps it beautifully changing .. and fresh ... He brings excitement and joy. I can only imagine what the season of eternity brings!!! Can you close your eyes and let your imagination run away with me!!! 

There will be peace, there will be love ... there will be music. There will be no politics. 🙃

Because we will all be in love with the only King worthy of our hearts. He says come as a child so think like one... There may be flying stallions that will whisk us away to a never-land with Him. ❤ 

It’s Him, It’s always Him

So come with me, where dreams are born, and time is never planned. Just think of happy things, and your heart will fly on wings, forever, in Never Never Land! - Peter Pan 

We will call it Heaven!!! ❤

Be ready my friends!!

For everything, there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted; a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

Seasons Change (ft. Michael Ketterer)

No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord Romans 8:39

The meaning of separate the action or state of moving or being moved apart. 

There are 27 verses about separation in the Bible.

I do believe we learn about separation at birth. At birth, our tiny souls are separated from our Heavenly Father. And we are given the gift of life to our parents. They are given the job to nurture and to love us until we grow to adulthood where once again we are separated. 

Both of these acts of separation are separation by location and should always keep the LOVE intact. 

However, there is a painful separation that happens because of judgment. And it’s one of the most painful separations to understand.  

It is man-made and so totally unnecessary.  

As we follow Christ, there are times we feel separated due to what people think. The Christian walk can become one of the most amazing beautiful love-filled but lonely walks we will ever face. 

But what I find amazing, the people who separate themselves from the lovers of Christ.. will be faced with a choice of loving and accepting Christ at some time in their life or I do believe there may be a price to pay in the afterlife. 

The choice will be to separate their heart from the ways of the world and to love and follow Him with all their heart, all their soul, all their strength, and all their mind. And the Christ lovers that you once pushed away will welcome you into His circle of love.  Where you will not be subjected to the judgment and separation felt by others that came to Him before you.

I do feel our souls are drawn to our Creator, we all travel at different rates of speed towards the evitable. We should not judge what we do not understand. We should embrace others and their differences. I do believe the more you learn about Christ and His love.. the less judgment you will feel in your hearts. 

The beauty of this separation is it promises a gift of life and love not just for eternity but for every waking moment we are blessed with on earth.  And there my friends is when the separation at birth will come full circle and the Heavenly bond you had at birth with the Heavenly Father will be restored. 

Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. Romans 12:2 

He answered, "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind'; and, 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'" Luke 10:27 NIV

The Love Of Christ - Wes King

“Seek the spirituality of your soul.”  ― Lailah Gifty Akita

...Meaning of search an act of searching for someone or something:

The word search appears 86 Instances in the Bible. 

It seems in life we are all searching. Searching for what becomes the question ?? That new car. Is it the right model? The perfect color? Perhaps we are searching for that next ring to the ladder of success? That job where you will monetarily feel you have finally arrived! Or is it that perfect partner that will fill that void?? 

We are all guilty of searching to fill an unexplainable void in our souls... But when we are facing our own mortality is what we have been searching for truly important?  As they say, you can not take those things with you... 

Now when we reflect on the word search, what do you see? For me, the word search has a new meaning. I say God search my heart ... Have I truly focused on what is important? 

Did I search for love? Did I see what was standing before me? Did I search for my Heavenly Father? Did I search to know more about Him and His life? Did I search for His heart? Did I search for His attainable Love? Did I search for His touch? Did I search for His words? Did I search for His voice?  

Well, I feel I must be a late bloomer as they say. Because when I look back in my life I did not search for the most amazing gift.. until He whispered His love song into my soul. 

And it was at that moment that He placed a desire in my heart to search for Him. I will continue to search for Him until the day comes that I stand before Him and say search my heart .. go ahead because you will find you have filled it with a love that I can not explain nor understand.  

I just know it was you! 

It’s Him, It has always been Him.

He wows me. The chase is on... 

Canst thou by searching find out God? canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection? Job 11:7

There are 20 Bible Verses about Anticipation. 

The meaning of anticipation: expectation or prediction of something. 

Waiting on God can be the most amazing spiritual experience. However, it can and does tax our patience!!  However, if we can lean into His teachings, and learn to let Him lead, He will guide us on the most amazing spiritual journey of our lives. 

We will anticipate the unknown with wonder. There can be such an unusual range of emotions. There is a peace that will engulf our senses. There is such an excitement about His mystery. There is a yearning in our soul. There is a feeling of love in the deepest chambers of our hearts.

To walk with Him can bring anticipation of living life in each beautiful moment. I look forward to each sunrise. I look forward to each full illuminating moon. I look forward with great anticipation to get lost in His presence... 

Anticipation is truly making me wait... But I know with every fiber of my being He is so worth the wait... ❤ I will forever wait on Him. (I love discovering His mystery its the most amazing wonder we will ever pursue.) 

It’s Him, It’s always Him 

There is so much to discover. I do believe we will never be able to know everything about Him in this lifetime.

A self-narrated life-altering story inspired by a love far greater than one can describe. God whispered into my soul and said follow me. But the road had many questions, emotions, and events that brought me here to share my incredible story with you. 

My journey included many new and exciting things to explore. New LOVEs, New Music, New People, New Employment, New Travel, and Relationships being rebuilt and refreshed. 

I could see God's fingerprints at every turn. I now say, "I LIVE and LOVE in the WOW" so join me as I turn back time and share my story and heart with you. 

I do believe that he is not finished with me yet. And can't wait to see what the future may bring. This is an invitation to join me as we revisit many events that brought me to you. I do hope you listen and become a part of my journey. 

Wishing you a day of abundant love,

Nichole Nordeman - Sound Of Surviving (Official Lyric Video)

Meaning of hands: the end part of a person's arm beyond the wrist, including the palm, fingers, and thumb.

The word hand appears 1466 times in the Bible and the plural word- hands – appears 462 times. 

Our hands are such an Intricate beautiful work of art.  Our hand is made up of 27 bones that move delicately without much thought. They work for each of us with little care. But if they are injured we then realize how for we take them granted. 

Do you ever think of our Heavenly Father’s hands? Do they show an amazing amount of strength? Are they soft to the touch? Are they warm? Are they rugged?  If He made us in Their image. Why is it most of us do not visualize His look much like our own?? I personally can see Him in my mind’s eye. and I have felt His touch. 

I do believe He has tenderly held us before He sent us to live on earth. And He is always willing to hold us now. All we need to do is ask .. but we have some responsibility as well.  We must believe with all of our heart that His touch is indeed possible. And then we must be ready to receive Him. 

Believe me it’s the most amazing touch one could ever receive.  To be touched by the very hands that created every finger, every toe. everything about you? Just wow! 

Can we even imagine what He must feel and think when He can touch His creation? It must warm His heart and bring a smile to His beautiful face!! As he gently looks and caresses who you have become.  His work! His attention to detail. His artistry!  He just WOWs me. 

It’s Him, it’s always Him

1 Peter 5:6 And God will exalt you in due time, if you humble yourselves under his mighty hand.

Psalm 89:13-15. Your arm is endowed with power; your hand is strong, your right hand exalted. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne; love and faithfulness go before you. Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you, who walk in the light of your presence, LORD.

Bible Verses From KJV  / Sinner's Prayer

Inspiring Music: Jewel - Hands (Official Music Video)

To commit is to fully dedicate yourself to something. Commit can also mean "perform an act" — often the kind that can get you in trouble.

There are approximately 67 Bible verses in the KJV.

To clarify this word I wanted to know the difference between commitment and promise. And this is what I found. Commit is to give in trust; to put into charge or keeping; to entrust; to consign; -- used with to, unto while the promise is to commit to something or action; to make an oath; make a vow.

Now I ask you are you all in? How much are you willing to give? When we commit do we hold back just a little? Are we afraid of commitment? Are we scared of failure? Or do we commit to complete?

We sometimes wrestle with the feeling of giving up on our freedom, our lifestyle, our way of thinking. What drives us to commit to someone? or to a project or to ourselves? 

I think the driving factor of commitment is centered around passion, love, and the willingness to offer unselfishly of your time, your blood, sweat, and tears.  I am a firm believer, if you cannot be ALL IN don't bother. 

I for one take commitment seriously… I have felt the victory of commitment by others and that my friends is an amazing heartfelt feeling. I have also felt the crushing pain of someone that only gives the appearance of commitment and the relationship imploded at impact. 

When I go to the Bible for a Biblical understanding of commit. I find the most beautiful commit played out between a Father and His son. The Son came to earth and committed His life to the Father’s children. He loved them, He walked among them. He LOVED them. He was so committed He gave it all !! HE was ALL IN!! Never did He fall short… Never did He turn away… The Father committed to never leave Him. Even knowing the suffering that was to come they remained committed to each other. 

Jesus never stopped loving His Father. Even until the bitter end.  He continued to stay committed to the Father, the project, and to love the Father’s children far beyond what they deserve. 

His last words prove the commitment and love they had for each other. As Jesus tortured body hung from the cross and He gasped for His last breath He called out with a loud voice, "Father, into your hands I commit my spirit."  What an amazing commitment of LOVE. One can only hope we come close to achieving this type of love commitment to Him.  

So now I ask you ARE YOU ALL IN ???

He is. Are you?

Its Him, It's always HIM… 

Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O LORD God of truth. Psalms 31:5

Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him, and he shall bring [it] to pass. Psalms 37:5

Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established. Proverbs 16:3.

I would seek unto God, and unto God would I commit my cause: Job 5:8.
