"Life is the first gift, love is the second, and understanding the third." ~ Marge Piercy...

The nature of something's ingredients or constituents; the way in which a whole or mixture is made up: 
"the social composition. 
A work of music, literature, or art:

The word composition is in the Bible approximately 6 times.

When we look at the word composition my mind and heart traveled to what composes God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit? What composes man? Mind, Body, and Soul?  What parts are there for a song? The verse, the chorus, and the bridge… The common denominator is the number three… 

Is this number (three) our secret connection to God’s universe? When I went to discover more about this amazing number this is what I found.  

“The number 3 biblically represents divine wholeness, completeness, and perfection. If there ever was a desire to highlight an idea, thought, event, or noteworthy figure in the Bible for their prominence, the number 3 was used to put a divine stamp of completion or fulfillment on the subject’. 

And this made perfect divine sense… Our Triune is Wholeness, Completeness, and Perfection and It does not get any more amazing than that. But then you see this in the scriptures:

“So God created man in His own image. In the image of God he created them; male and female he created them." Genesis 1:27. 

You see, He sees us as whole, complete, and perfect. Even when we come to Him broken, battered, and bruised. And then He created beautiful music… I do believe He created music whole, complete, and in perfect harmony as a way to speak to our souls. 

Do you ever wonder why music moves our hearts? 

It's His composition, It’s His creation, It’s His perfect circle of life. 

When there is three… <3 divine love happens… And that is true wholeness, completeness, and perfection.  

It’s them, Its always them. The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit.

And as for the perfume which thou shalt make, ye shall not make to yourselves according to the composition thereof: it shall be unto thee holy for the LORD. Exo 30:37

A musical composition by David, which he sang to the Lord concerning a Benjaminite named Cush. O Lord my God, in you I have taken shelter. Deliver me from all who chase me! Rescue me! Psalms 7:1

"And now here is my secret, a very simple secret; it is only with the heart that one can see rightly, what is essential is invisible to the eye." ~ Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Meaning of blind: unable to see because of injury, disease, or a congenital condition.

There are approximately 74 verses about the word blind.

Our eyes are such an amazing gift… To not be blessed with sight must be such a true challenge. I can not even begin to imagine. I do believe most of us do not give it much thought unless we are faced with a problem with our eyes. The smallest grain of dust can cause such a major discomfort.

Some say the eyes are the window to our soul… So, how does someone that has been blind from birth see? How do they see the beauty that surrounds them daily? I do believe they build extrasensory abilities. Many of these abilities we find difficult to understand. Just how do they do it?

I don’t know exactly how they manage.  So before I continue to write about the word blind. I will close my eyes and try an experiment.  I will use my ears to hear the music, I will use my sense of touch and my sense of smell and I will see what if anything I can see…Can our spiritual eyes see what our human eyes can not? I say yes, without a doubt I know you can. 

My soul felt the beautiful music, as it opened my heart.  I could feel the vibrations of the sounds being made. There was a sweet smell of home in the air. And in my mind's eye, I began to see many details of our Savior's face. 

I will describe what I saw with my spiritual eyes. He appeared to be approximately 30 years of age. His hair was brown shoulder length. As I approached Him I could look into His eyes they were a deep shade of blue. There I could see His kindness. His beard and mustache were neatly trimmed. And he had the most amazing smile. A smile that can speak volumes to my soul. 

So how does this happen? How do we see with our spirit? I believe it is His voice… It calls to our soul. Our soul hears His song of love.. and our heart vibrates to the sound being made while we feel His presence. There is a sense of home felt when He fills your heart with an explainable love. And then the mind paints a picture..with all the detail our sense have gathered. And we can see a vision of Him that speaks to our mind, and then we began to feel Him in our heart and soul. 

How sharp are your senses? Do you see our Heavenly Father in your mind's eye? Do you hear His voice? Do feel that sense of home? 

If not I urge you to close your eyes. I urge you to invite Him into your heart. Listen for His voice because I know He is calling your name.  And if you diligently seek Him you will find Him. And for those who do not believe or that have no desire to find Him. Here is a quote from a remarkable blind soul. 

“Better to be blind and see with your heart, than to have two good eyes and see nothing.”  (Helen Keller)  

With her extrasensory abilities... She found the beauty in Her soul and shared it with the world. It's not a secret... 

It's Him, It's Always Him

 He has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts, so they can neither see with their eyes, nor understand with their hearts, nor turn—and I would heal them.” John 12:40 

 “In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God Second Corinthians 4:4

“The horse, with beauty unsurpassed, strength immeasurable, and grace unlike any other, still 

remains humble enough to carry a man upon his back.” – Amber Senti 

Horses meaning: a large plant-eating domesticated mammal with solid hoofs and a flowing mane and tail, used for riding, racing, and to carry and pull loads.

There are approximately 103 verses in the Bible about Horses in the KJV version of the Bible.

Horses such an odd word to pick for a Bible word study. Well, let us see where this beautiful powerful animal will carry us.  They are magnificent animals and have been a part of our world since the beginning of time. 

When my spiritual eyes, brushed upon the pages of God’s word. It makes me think of our King and wonder why He came to us on a modest donkey? Why not the best, the most powerful majestic animal? A beautiful powerful horse? Instead, He entered our world as a humble King of peace. A donkey symbolizes arrival in peace, rather than as a war-waging King arriving on a horse.

Coming in peace and sharing His Love and heart was not accepted by the world. Only a few were drawn to Him by His loving kindness and underlying royalty. Others did not and do not understand the magnitude of who He truly was and is. They tried to stop His life by killing Him publicly so the world could see He had no power here on earth. BUT what they failed to realize, that it was only His earthy body that they stopped. 

His power. His Grace. His Love could not be held, it could not be stopped. It can not and will not be contained. He is ALIVE!! And the ones who persecuted Him back then have been gone for centuries and are nothing but a vague memory. 

I am afraid that when I look to our world today, many have not learned from our past mistakes. Many still do not realize who this Kingly presence in our lives truly is?? Many mock Him and His legacy and the very promises that He has given to all His children. 

But I believe His Children are hearing His whispers in their souls, they are feeling His heart beat.. and the pulse of His life is being felt today around the world. Many are seeing His words come alive in prophecies written by the very guidance of God's own breath. 

His children are looking towards the sky. They are looking to the day they see their King and look into their Father's loving eyes.. There will be no guessing of who He is when He arrives? His arrival date is not known… But God’s words tell us He will be arriving in full power and glory. On a white powerful horse… Ready for battle. A mighty warrior. 

We are on the cusps of witnessing history in the making and prophecies being fulfilled. Not just in our world but in all of the universe. (it may not be in our lifetime because I do not feel they operate in the same time zone we do lol)

For it is written, “As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. Romans 14:11

I do not need to see the warrior to bow or confess to God. I see the humble King of peace. I see a love that fills my soul. I see His kindness beyond our world. He is the King of my heart and I will bow to His presence today and always. I ask you, “Are you ready?” 

Its Him, It’s always Him!

If you have any doubt. Why would not you lean towards a greater LOVE for eternity? I truly feel it’s a no brainer. 

And I saw heaven opened and behold a white horse, and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness, he doth judge and make war. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. Revelation 19-11-14  King James Version

He said, “Listen to my words: “When there is a prophet among you, I, the LORD, reveal myself to them in visions, I speak to them in dreams.

Meaning of dreams: a series of thoughts, images, and sensations occurring in a person's mind during sleep.

There are approximately 20 dreams listed in the Bible. 

Dreams, do we go to a place where we are a fragment of our conscious self? Do we play out what our subconscious truly has hidden deep in our hearts? Or do we dream with our eyes wide open? I do believe all are true at some level.

All this talk about dreams makes me yearn to listen to music and drift away to a place that I have found. Its a blissful state where the magic happens. I have spent time there healing. I have spent time there learning. I have spent time with loved ones that now live in heaven. I have seen a glimpse of heavens doors. I have traveled on flying horses. 

I have interacted with God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. You see there is a magical part of our soul that craves an oneness with our Creator. 

Have you ever questioned why God calls us His children? Have you ever wondered why Jesus asks us to come to Him as a child? I believe as we become adults we lose that undying innocent trust, wonder, and imagination that lives in every child’s mind, heart, and soul.  

When we dream, we escape from our world and go to a place where all things are possible.  In Matthew 18:3, Jesus says, “Assuredly, I say to you, unless you change and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.

The technical part of this activity is described as two distinct types of sleep / slow-wave sleep (SWS), which is that deep sleep, and rapid eye movement (REM), also called dreaming sleep. Brain waves slow down, our muscles relax, our breathing becomes deep, this seems to help the brain and body to recuperate after a long day.

After SWS, REM sleep begins. the dreamer's brain becomes highly active while the body's muscles are somewhat paralyzed state, and breathing and heart rate become erratic. They say REM sleep is a biological mystery. 

Is it a mystery? Or is this REM state where our soul opens a small window of opportunity of total trust, wonder, and our child-like imagination. Thus bringing us to a place where we are more receptive to God’s communication with His child without all the baggage that we have picked up just by living life in our human state. 

I for one find this state an amazing escape, you will wake up refreshed. Your body can heal. And you can reconnect with the child that lives within. Many dreams and visions are documented in the Bible. But I know in my soul these divine moments do exist today. And as you open the window to God's communication, you will see that all things are possible.

Dreaming is a gift from our Heavenly Father. It's amazing how He has thought of everything!! I invite you to let your childlike imagination run away with the very mind that gave you this Gift.  Just WOW!

Its Him, It's always Him! 

Zzzzz, the child in me is telling me it past my bedtime. Sweet Dreams …

Enya - May it be ( lyrics ) 

The word world appears in approximately 42 verses in the Bible.

The biblical concept of the world falls into five categories: the physical world, the human world, the moral world, the temporal world, and the coming world. 

Our Creator created such amazing wonderful people, places, and things. Do we truly value His work? Do we see beauty? Do we appreciate His artistic merit?? Do we take care of His gifts? 

When I look at our world. I feel we are missing what is truly important. I see destruction. I see people desperate to return to what we once knew. I see changes, I see a divide. I see broken hearts…. 

I must admit I sometimes feel unworthy of what I found. But then I think about it I did not find it, He found me. And I did not even know I was lost. He opened my heart to see His beauty in every child’s eyes.  He opened my ears to hear His sweet voice in the wind as it calls my name. He opened my eyes to see the amazing wonder of life in our world.

You see when we focus on God and look to Him to guide us. Our world could be spinning out of control, and we will see beauty, we will see HOPE, we will see Peace, we will see His amazing unconditional LOVE. 

Many that have come before us have tried to tell us of His story… Do we listen? Do we read His word? Do we make time for Him or do we dismiss Him with little regard? Do we put it off until a better time? I ask you what is a better time? Is it when we are faced with the reality of what lies ahead?  Eternity?  

Do we look to Him and want to spend eternity with Him for selfish reasons? Is it so we can continue living… Or do our souls truly know Him and do we long to return to our first LOVE… Do you hunger to hear His voice? Do we love Him and want Him to know how important He is to our very existence?

Our world can place many things in our path to pull us away from Him.  We all have choices to make every day. I say choose beauty, choose peace, choose a LOVE like no other.. I say choose ….

Him! It's always Him. 

Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing, and perfect will. Roman 12:2 NIV

What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Mark 8:36 NIV

Many who have been following my journey know sometimes my meditation unfolds a story with a message. Sharing this message of love I hope it speaks to your heart. Are you my one? I pray its you!

I did the usual prepping. Music, earbuds, a warm blanket, and my chair. I laid back and tuned in... 

I began to drift into the alluring music... I began to see the horizon .... It seemed to be sand ... white sand... and then Jesus appeared walking towards me in the distance ... I could see his chestnut brown shoulder-length hair wave as he walked in the warm subtle breeze... He was carrying a thick wooden walking staff. He was dressed in a tunic-like off white robe. It was drawn at the waist with a thin brown rope-like strap. I could see his brown sandals as He picked up His feet from the sand. As He forged forward, I began to see other people become visible. I could see this mass migration of men, women, and children following a few miles behind. 

As He approached He sat down on the bench that was positioned a few feet away. I sat down next to Him and leaned in and placed my head on His shoulder... I could see us sitting there from the back... He spoke these words as He softly touched my face... “You all must learn to LOVE each other as I love you. That is the secret of life... That is the beauty of why our Father created all of you." ... 

I answered, But how I can make a difference I can only love a few.. not everyone understands? It makes me sad... Tell me how? 

He spoke these words, "Don’t be disheartened. If you can only touch one life, and they in turn touch a life, the circle will not be broken. The circle can touch a multitude of souls. Love is an amazing gift of the heart. Don’t ever lose the desire to share it! 

He caressed my face with His hand and we sat with my head still on His shoulder as we watched the migration of people continue to come closer and the music faded and the moment ended.

Help me not break the circle of His LOVE. Share it with just one heart.

“Sometimes, the biggest risks are those we take with our hearts.” Anonymous...

Meaning of risk: a situation involving exposure to danger.

There are approximately 39 verses in the Bible that refer to risk.

Are you a risk-taker? Fast cars, bungee jumping, shark diving, flying, driving home on Hwy 65? Perhaps helping others that have a contagious medical illness? And this list can go on for miles and miles. 

What about the simple task of just following your heart? Sounds simple enough. However, I feel there are circumstances that dictate this too can be risky. It truly depends on what or who your heart is chasing. 

In the last 25 months, I have felt I have taken a few risks…I have felt a risk knowing what God wants from me. I did learn this is an ongoing process and that clarity comes when we spend quiet time with Him. I have put relationships at risk as I tried to find my balance and discover more about this amazing love God offers. 

I continued to pursue this desire to know more about our Creator, His Word, and How He moves in our lives daily. I am sad to say some people did not even try to understand and quietly pulled away and I felt a divide in my heart.  But the good news is many came to share their story and their heart with me. I am so grateful to those who stayed. And I must admit I find it perplexing that some are so bound in there own thoughts they were not open enough to see, feel, and share His love. They truly have no idea what they are missing. I found many take His love for granted and do not nurture it daily. I do not understand why they leave His love sitting idle instead of growing that spark into a flame?

I have felt the pain of loss when I risked openly, sharing the most amazing gift of love I have ever known. This journey with God, Yeshua, and the Holy Spirit has taught me many things. I did learn that taking this type of risk has many rewards.  

You will risk falling in love with our Father in Heaven. You will risk falling in love with mankind. You will see the world with eyes of wonder. You will risk gaining peace that surpasses all human understanding. You will risk a joy that overflows within your soul… You will risk building a relationship with the Triune, they will hold your heart and never turn away…

My understanding of them became clear as I opened my heart and invited Them in to stay. It was through Their teachings and through many tears I found my confidence and my knowledge of Them grew. And now I openly take risks by sharing Him and His love with no hesitation. Because if I can touch your heart today. If I can open your window to His light and love. I know in my soul you were worth the risk. 

Because I have felt His great love in my soul…  and I know to risk life without Him is the biggest mistake we can ever make… 

On September 3, 2020, I will be opening my heart and sharing details of my spiritual journey on a podcast. I hope you will risk listening and pray you will feel Him in your soul. Your life may never be the same…

                                     Triune Loves Me - Podcast

I know firsthand how a relationship with Him can and does change many things. Many that we have forgotten or perhaps never knew.

I challenge you to take the risk of knowing Him. Risk falling in love with Him.

Its Him, It's always Him. 

He who has found his life will lose it, and he who has lost his life for My sake will find it. Matthew 10:39

Sam Smith - Writing on The Wall Lyrics

Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get, it's what you are expected to give -- which is everything. — Anonymous

Expectation: a strong belief that something will happen or be the case in the future:

There are 33 Bible Verses about expectations. 

When our hearts yearn for things with great expectations.  But then we realize, we have little to no control over the events! We discover we are at someone else's mercy and timing. It can leave us with excitement in our soul but it can also leave us with a melancholy heart. 

When this word came up in my word study. My mind and heart found me searching for answers that reside with my heavenly Father.  

Do we look to our future existence with the expectation of a child on Christmas morning? Or do we find ourselves bewildered or even afraid of the unknown?  

I do believe as we travel in our life’s journey our faith and destination become clearer. As we began to study our Father's word and heart we begin to discover what others have experienced.  We began to fill in the blanks with wisdom that comes from an unexpected place. As we began to understand it's His wisdom and guidance that we are feeling.  We began to build confidence in our heavenly Father. We began to yearn for His presence. We began to continually search for His face. 

He is an amazing teacher! He teaches us about a LOVE that can only come from His heart. His glory leaves us speechless. I can not tell you how He does this when we can not physically see Him? But I will confess my heart has felt His undying love. In my mind, I have touched His beautiful face. He has left me with a desire and a yearning to be in His presence. 

My soul awaits with a melancholy heart, but also with the unexplainable expectation and excitement of a child.  Knowing that one day I will return to my Heavenly Father and be with Him forevermore. Smitten by a greater love.

Its Him, It's always Him.

But if we hope for what we do not see, with perseverance we wait eagerly Romans 8:25 

Eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have sufficient courage so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death. Philippians 1:20
