For nothing will be impossible with God.” Luke 1:37

The meaning of silence: complete absence of sound:

The word silence appears to be in the Bible approximately 86times. 

When you are given the most beautiful gift you could ever imagine. And you find that you have a burning desire to share this rare gem with everyone you know.. You might find yourself using every avenue known to mankind to share this message of LOVE.  You will find you can not be silenced. But there will be the times when you feel that your efforts fall on ears that can not hear..   eyes that can not see.. and hearts that can not feel. 

It brings sadness to your soul. It is like being in Disneyland alone ... Where you want to ride the tilt a whirl with the ones you love... but you feel you are alone and all you hear is the silence of your own heart beating. 

However, I must admit I have found that it’s in these moments you truly find the most amazing beauty in the silent times. Because that is when you are still enough to hear the most melodic voice. It's the voice that speaks to our soul. It's a place where the chatter of life does not exist. .... It's where you realize that you are the most important soul to someone you hold dear to your heart.  It's at that time you have His undivided attention and His beautiful promise that He will never leave you !!

But the most important revelation becomes.. that sharing Him fills your own heart .. and for the souls that do not seem to be listening it may not be their time... Their soul silently awaits His Love to ignite their flame. Only He knows the perfect time and place for each man, woman, and child. 

So continue to share His great love.  Because what our soul is searching for can not be found In a man-made Disneyland. Our soul will not rest until it finds its way home to our Fathers loving arms. 

It’s Him,  it’s always Him 

Psalm 62:5-6 My soul, wait in silence for God only, For my hope is from Him. He only is my rock and my salvation, My stronghold; I shall not be shaken. Be silent and be still in the presence of the Lord.

Naomi Scott - Speechless From "Aladdin" - Cover by Rise Up Children's Choir

 

"Speechless (Full)"
(from "Aladdin" soundtrack)

Here comes a wave

Meant to wash me away

A tide that is taking me under

Swallowing sand

Left with nothing to say

My voice drowned out in the thunder

But I won't cry

And I won't start to crumble

Whenever they try

To shut me or cut me down

I won't be silenced

You can't keep me quiet

Won't tremble when you try it

All I know is I won't go speechless

'Cause I'll breathe

When they try to suffocate me

Don't you underestimate me

'Cause I know that I won't go speechless

Written in stone

Every rule, every word

Centuries-old and unbending

"Stay in your place"

"Better seen and not heard"

Well, now that story is ending

'Cause I

I cannot start to crumble

So come on and try

Try to shut me and cut me down

I won't be silenced

You can't keep me quiet

Won't tremble when you try it

All I know is I won't go speechless

Speechless

Let the storm in

I cannot be broken

No, I won't live unspoken

'Cause I know that I won't go speechless

Try to lock me in this cage

I won't just lay me down and die

I will take these broken wings

And watch me burn across the sky

Hear the echo saying I...

Won't be silenced

Though you wanna see me tremble when you try it

All I know is I won't go speechless

Speechless

'Cause I'll breathe

When they try to suffocate me

Don't you underestimate me

'Cause I know that I won't go speechless

All I know is I won't go speechless

Speechless

“When the beauty of your soul kisses your heart you will know true love. It’s bliss and unconditional sweetness will leave you forever changed.” – Judy Secore

Love the unlovable. 

“If I could give you one gift, I would give you the ability to see yourself as I see you, so you could see how truly special you are.”

The meaning of value: the importance, worth, or usefulness of something. "Your support is of great value" a person's principles or standards of behavior; one's judgment of what is important in life. Estimate the monetary worth of (something).

The word value is in approximately thirteen verses in the Bible. 

The word value means many things to many people. When I look around it seems that our value system has eroded over time. There is such discord. Such a divide? What happened to our values? What happened to our moral conduct? What happened to the life we once cherished?  I do believe that we as a society have drifted into the danger zone. 

When I try to understand and analyze what happened, I feel that there are those that do not truly understand the impact of their actions of removing God from our existence. They have unfortunately, tainted the wholesome core values of our heritage.  Can we ever recover? Can we turn back the hands of time? Do some even care? Or are they happy with an existence that could implode? 

There is a quote by Patti Smith “The one thing we can always count on is change?” I say there is one thing we can always count on, that is the constant love of our Savior. He has never wavered. He values each one of His children. Even the ones that have tried to remove His legacy here on earth. How has He not become bitter? How does He love like this? How do we not value Him above all else? How do we not see the beauty He possesses? How do we not love Him without boundaries? He is the only way we can turn back the hands of time. He is the only way we can return our heavenly heritage to that wholesome loving society.  Without Him, we are lost… 

He is calling His children, listen for His whispers… He is our compass. He is our guide… 

To Value Him, is to value life. 

It's Him, It's always Him.

For while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come. 1 Timothy 4:8

“Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore with lovingkindness, I have drawn you” (Jeremiah 31:3). His love for you is relentless, immeasurable, and infinite.

“But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ … that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus” (Ephesians 2:4) Your heavenly Father has planned a magnificent, never-ending future for you.

Third Day - Soul On Fire (Official Lyric Video)

God's favor and protection. 

There are over 80 blessings in the Bible. 

As I wake up on a chilly day I began to look into the word blessing...  

Do we see each of them? Do we take them for granted? Do we only speak and pray for blessings when families gather at the dinner table? Do we say a robotic prayer and then dive in? 

We truly should make it a part of our daily routine. It should be as common as brushing our teeth... 

In this world of uncertainty, we must start to view blessings on a more intimate scale... 

These seem to be the most generic answers 

1.   Today I woke up 

2.   I have amazing family and friends 

3.   I am in good health

4.   I have a job 

But I believe 1. Should be I am blessed by getting to know my creator. He loves me far greater than anyone here on earth... He listens to all victories and all of my failures. He never judges me. He gently guides me. He reveals more of Himself each new day... He allows me the latitude to grow my love for Him each day and I do feel I could go on and on.. 

You see if you realize and start your day by seeing Him and counting How He has blessed your life... your list of blessings will no longer be generic they will become genuine ... they will become personal and they will be shared with your creator. 

1.   Thank you Father for blessing me with this beautiful day

2.   Thank you Father for filling my life with the most amazing family and Friends I love them all. Please continue to keep them in your care. 

3.   Thank you for watching over me and giving me Heath so I can share you with others 

4.   Thank you Father for providing me a stable income. Doing something that I love is a plus. 

So don’t wait to come to the table. Don’t spout that robotic prayer. Don’t see the generic list of blessings... See the one who creates the blessing for you ... See Him 

It’s Him, It’s always Him !!

Thank you, LOVEs for blessing me with the greatest gift. It’s you!

Let us come before him with thanksgiving and extol him with music and song. Psalms 95:2 NIV

The Blessing with Kari Jobe & Cody Carnes | Live From Elevation Ballantyne | Elevation Worship

"God's words speak to your soul with a love language that does not need a translator."(lg)

The meaning of the word Speak is defined as to say words, talk, or verbally deliver a message. 

The word speak is mentioned 513 times in the KJV Bible. 

Speaking is such an interesting activity that seems so simple until we are faced with losing our voice. 

Each utterance starts with a breath. The airflow from the lungs to our larynx (known as our voice box) in our throat.  The vibration then forms sound through the mouth and nose. 

What I then found fascinating is how many languages there are around the world. It truly is mind-boggling when you break it down and think about it. Did you know that there are approximately 7,111 known languages spoken by people around the world? That is a wow! 

So where did they all start? I am finding the Bible to be a wonderful guide to many of our questions. And as we open this amazing book. In the verse John 1:1, we see... “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” 

“God said” two of the most powerful words ever spoken.  These two words also show us just how powerful the spoken words can be.  All of creation started with the spoken word. The power of His words can blow our minds. 

But as I closed my eyes and quiet my mind these thoughts began to dance through my head.  It’s here the word speak takes on a new meaning...I do not need my voice box. I speak to My Father, My Yeshua, and My Holy Spirit with my mind, my soul, and my heart.... without the utterance of a single word. How does this happen?? Is this considered spoken words? 

It is a language that soothes my heart ... and it brings peace and unexplainable love to my soul.  It’s amazing when I think of God's voice.  I have read and I do believe His words hold tremendous power. A power like we have never seen. 

But my heart hears His beautiful soft loving whispers. I feel His love in His words. I have a hard time with the Scriptures that say we should fear Him. I know in my mind that is true. But in my heart, I have grown to know Him. He possesses the most genuine loving understanding heart.  It's like one I have never known. He is such a beautiful gentle soul. He is Kind. He loves us with no boundaries.  He has no hidden agenda.  His love language is spoken in every language known to mankind... Who else can make that claim?  Wow! 

I do believe as you began to hear Him speak to your heart your life takes on new meaning. Your thoughts and actions began to change. You strive to become a better person.  You want to please Him with your behavior. You see Him as your role model for living life in abundance.  I think as you move towards Him, fear lessens. Because there is a spiritual bond that is being built. There is happiness that happens when you hear His voice. His words speak to your soul with a love language that does not need a translator. Because it’s uniquely developed between you and your Creator ... It is felt in the deepest chambers of your heart..  As He inscribes His name upon you your heart. You feel Him watching you develop into the person He intended you to be... 

We are all a work in progress and He does speak to our hearts ... It becomes a question of just how fast do you run to His arms?  That is the part that is in our control.  If I say on your mark, get set .... go.  Do you sprint with the speed to win the race? Do you pace yourself for the long haul? Or do you walk? Or do you sit on the sideline watching? He is waiting at the finish line. This race is the race of a lifetime. ... Are you ready to win first place ??🥇Eternity. 

It’s Him. It’s always Him. 

“In the silence of the heart, God speaks. If you face God in prayer and silence, God will speak to you. Then you will know that you are nothing. It is only when you realize your nothingness, your emptiness, that God can fill you with Himself. Souls of prayer are souls of great silence.” Mother Teresa

In the beginning, was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him, and without him was not anything made that was made. John 1:1-3

Kari Jobe - Speak to Me Lyric Video

"Cherish every moment with those you love at every stage of your journey."

 ~ Jack Layton..

Meaning of cherish: To treat with tenderness and affection; to give warmth, ease, or comfort to. To hold as dear; to embrace with affection; to foster, and encourage; as, to cherish the principles of virtue; to cherish religion in the heart.

The word cherish is in the Bible approximately 28 times.

What does it mean to cherish? Is it just a superficial part of love or does it go deeper? Must one love it to cherish it? I do believe there are degrees of love... and cherish it a special part. It is that cherry on top of your beautiful dessert...It makes the item or person quite special. You want to protect it from harm. It holds a special place in your heart... It warms your soul and makes you smile just to gaze upon it. We cherish our special relationships. We cherish those special moments in time. We cherish our families and friends.

But do we cherish God? Many claims have been made that they love Him. But what do we do to care for Him? Do we protect Him? He is to be cherished and adored. He is the very reason we exist... He adores us, He has proven that He cherishes each one of His children. But for the life of me, I do not understand why He has never given up? I do believe one day we will know the answers to many of our questions. 

He loves us far greater than anyone here on earth...  He gave us His beautiful Son to show us the way.  He cherished His Son more than life. Yet He allowed His life to be a sacrifice for all of mankind. So how do we repay Him for this beautiful monumental gift of everlasting life ... We can start by cherishing every part of who He is. We should cherish the Father, His Son Yeshua, and the Holy Spirit. We need to adore and love them with a spiritual love that far greater than our own understanding... He is the cherry on the most amazing dessert you will ever gaze upon or taste. He takes my breath away. 

It’s Him, It’s always Him. 

“Before now, the LORD showed himself to us. He said, ‘I have loved you with a love that has no end. So I am showing my love to you so that you will move towards me.”

Jeremiah 31:3 EASY
