The Meaning of Honey is a sweet syrupy substance produced by honeybees from the nectar of flowers and used by humans as a sweetener and a spread. Honey is comprised of 17-20% water, 76-80% glucose, and fructose, pollen, wax, and mineral salts. Its composition and color is dependent upon the type of flower that supplies the nectar.

There are 61 passages about honey in the Bible. 

Honey is such a sweet delicate substance that can nourish the body. Did you know it contains medical healing properties? It can be a fascinating subject to study. How is this golden substance made? What type of mind planned this amazing colony of nature? From the bee to the flower to hive .. the process is a work of art. 

Honey has been a staple of life for over 9,000 years. 

The Master had a plan. Everything in our world and existence has been masterfully planned with a purpose. Each species has a place in this beautiful plan of life. How can we not stand there in awe when we examine the beauty that surrounds our lives.  Do we not see it? Do we not understand? Are we too busy?

If we could just stop, look with an open heart, and listen with the ears of our soul… We could truly see the artistry of our Master’s hands. We could appreciate the delicate care He has taken with every wonder put before us. 

There were many verses to examine in the Bible that pointed us to the word honey. But the one that kept buzzing in my ear was Psalms 119:103. How sweet are Your words to my taste, Sweeter than honey to my mouth!

This Bible word study has opened my heart to a love sweeter and more delicate than the golden miracle it takes a colony of hard-working bees to produce. It’s a love that we sometimes take for granted. Until the day comes that we hear the buzzing in our ear to come, come child listen to my voice… See the beauty in the golden splendor of life I am offering. Taste the sweetest love you will ever know. I say come!

It's Him, It's always Him. 

How sweet are Your words to my taste, Sweeter than honey to my mouth! KJV Psalms 119:103

Eat honey, my son, for it is good, and the honeycomb is sweet to your taste. Proverbs 24;13

Know that wisdom is sweet for your soul. If you find it, there is a future for you, and your hope will never be cut off. Proverbs 24”14

Pleasant words [are as] a honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones. Proverbs 16:24 -

Till I Met You - Laura Story - with Lyrics

“For the bread of God is that which comes down out of heaven and gives life to the world.

John 6:33-35

 The meaning of hunger: have a strong desire or craving for

The word hunger is in the Bible approximately 75 times.

Hunger such an appropriate word especially when Thanksgiving is only a few days away. Many of us are searching for those recipes that bring back memories of old. We began to make a shopping list and discussing our headcount. Unfortunately, the CDC has tried to help with those decisions this year. Many of us are mad, some of us are disheartened… Some of us are so disillusioned with life itself.  

My heart is heavy for those who have lost sight or their way.

Have you ever found yourself standing in front of the refrigerator with a blank stare saying I don’t know what I feel like eating ?? Many of us have that same look as we cover our faces to protect ourselves from harm. 

As difficult as things may seem. I must admit, there is a hunger, that I have found difficult to quench. But there is good news. There is no mask required. There are no limits on how many can come.  Actually, the more the merrier. As you find this hunger you will find your purpose. You will find peace. You will find a love like nothing you have ever experienced.  

It’s a hunger that will change every aspect of your life. It’s a hunger of the soul. 

If you let this hunger be your guide you will be filled with joy and happiness that will radiate from within.  You will be a part of a private party with one of the most incredible souls we could ever grow to know.  His presentation is beyond words. The place setting is pure white and beautifully accented with gold. He adorns the table with amazing flowers that He lovingly created.  The room will be filled with the aroma of love. The room will have a warm glow coming from His amazing light.  

Oh my… Why don’t we crave Him? He is the LIFE….of the party and all of our dreams.  No one can stop His love. 

It's Him, It's always Him.

I for one am thankful for my family, my friends, and for the hunger, He has placed within my soul. He WOWs me!

Table for 2 this way…. 

And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst. John 6:35

Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that. Martin Luther King - 

Meaning of war: a state of armed conflict between different nations or states or different groups within a nation or state:

There are approximately 22 verses pointing to war in the Bible.  And it seems that there are nine wars in the end times and that Armageddon relates to only one of these.  That may be scary to many.

However when I think of war. I think of the devastation it causes. The life, property, and relationships it destroys.  The shattered hopes, fractured dreams, and our fragile future hangs in the balance... War affects us on all levels... It does this globally, it does this between nations, and between all humanity.   

As I studied the word war. I began to see this word on a much more personal level. I see many of us today fighting a war against the darkness in our world. It’s against an invisible enemy. It can manifest itself as many things. Some call it covid 19. Some call it society, politics, or religion. Some call it fear of the unknown. Some call it anxiety. Some call it depression and there are so many more labels... 

Many have retreated to a safe place. Some have hidden in the cold

darkness that can consume them.  Some continue to have that raging war within. This one is the most difficult to escape. It haunts the very corridors of our troubled minds. It invades our peace and eventually, it erodes our physical health... Are we lost? Who holds the answers? Who can rescue us from ourselves?? 

Some have managed to find peace and love in the midst of the storm. 

But How? What is the secret? Who holds the answers?

I have witnessed the power in His name! I have felt a love that can create miracles. I have seen hearts come out of darkness into the light... There is only one name that brings such peace, such beauty, such grace, and such unity. 

How do we not see Him, How do we not hear His Voice? How do we not LOVE Him with every fiber of our being ??? I will stand tall and tell you He holds the key to our hearts, our souls, and our lives... 

I admit. It has taken me a while to see Him. It has taken me a while to hear His voice! But it is not going to take me a while to share Him !!!! 

All remedies point to Him!! 

It’s Him, It’s always Him !!! 

There is no other name before Him!!! I call him Elohim !!! I call Him Yeshua, I call Him Holy Spirit. But all of these names point to God,

and yes He still WOW's me.

Ephesians 6:13 “Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm.

Revelation 21:7 “Those who are victorious will inherit all this, and I will be their God and they will be my children.”

Matthew 24:6 “You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come.”

Riley Clemmons - Fighting For Me (Piano Version)

Meaning of beyond the unknown, especially in references to a life after death:

The word beyond in the Bible approximately 264 times. 

Beyond is a word that has no end.  Our human mind can only see the horizon. We use words like beyond the horizon but truly we can not see it without some type of magnification assistance.  

In my journey, I use the word “ beyond” so many times just trying to describe God. 

He is beyond human understanding. He has such a complex presence. His love has transcended time and space. His beauty is such an amazing work of art... His patience with all of mankind is far beyond our comprehension. He is beyond any and everything I have ever imagined.  

Who is this Omni persona and How does He meet so many of our needs.  I do not think it is humanly possible to fully understand His vastness. It is beyond our earthly bound thoughts. 

I do believe we can grow to know many facets of Him through His word and through communication with Him on a spiritual level... 

He truly is a feeling that is beyond anything I have ever experienced in my lifetime. His love is beyond words and is such an amazing gift... There are not enough words in all the languages on earth to describe it fully...  

I can only suggest that you step out beyond your own comfort zone.. and open your heart, your mind, and soul and invite Him in... Your life will be transformed. Your life will take on new meaning.  Your relationship with Him will grow beyond what you could ever imagine...  

He is the master of our souls and holds the answer to everything! 

It’s Him, it’s always Him!! 

“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” declares the Lord.“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,

So are My ways higher than your ways And My thoughts than your thoughts.  

Isaiah 55:8-9

“The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our sons forever, that we may observe all the words of this law. Deuteronomy 29:29 

Who does great and unsearchable things,

Wonders without number.Job 5:9

Do you not know? Have you not heard?

The Everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth

Does not become weary or tired.

His understanding is inscrutable. Isaiah 40:28

Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and unfathomable His ways! Romans 11:33-34

For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so the thoughts of God no one knows except the Spirit of God.1 Corinthians 2:11

Tori Kelly - Psalm 42 (Live)

If you want to know your purpose, Pursue the heart of God and you’ll have a head-on collision with your calling -: Renee Swope -

Meaning of pursuing follow (someone or something) in order to catch or attack them. go after, run after, of a person or way) continue or proceed along (a path or route.)

The word pursues or pursuing is in the KJV of the Bible approximately 27 times.

Pursue to chase. Hmm. Do we have the passion in our hearts to diligently chase things in our lives ??  

What leaves this burning hunger to continue the pursuit? It seems this trait in people runs as different as their fingerprints. It’s is a drive that is unique by subject matter and personalities. I have witnessed this trait jump our generational chain. 

There are times it becomes a cat and mouse game. We pursue, the ultimate goal.. and as soon as we get near the tables turn and we become the pursued. 

As I pursued a better understanding of this cat and mouse game. I turned to the pages of a book that has become my Bible and source for pursuing a better understanding of love and life.  It is a masterpiece and orchestrated by a wonderous soul we know as The Father, The Son, and the Holy Spirit. And I lovingly call them LOVEs.  

It's only now that I have come to realize, He has been pursuing me for a lifetime. He has been whispering words of love to my soul, and I have been too distracted with life to hear Him or to even see Him. He had to WOW me to get my attention. It’s a day that is clearly ingrained in my soul.  Something happened that day that sparked a passion in my soul for a renewed excitement for life and love. But how do I explain this spiritual phenomenon?

I clearly did not have sufficient words to ever explain this heavenly gift.  

 So I had a fire in my soul to discover more … To do this I have to pursue answers to my many questions.  Who is He, Why me? and How did this happen?

I can say I have learned a lot in the last two years. He is so simplistic yet so complex. We are so earthy bound that we miss this spiritual gift that is larger than life. I have found that I was not necessarily chosen. I do believe He LOVEs each one of us the same.  It’s is within us to be open to hearing his voice, to feel His love, and to pursue Him with all our heart, all our soul, and all our might. 

Some believe it’s a test of wills and they are clinging to their independence, and the fact they can do it themselves… I have found that is a huge misguided thought. Because He is the most liberating breath of air you will ever take into your lungs. 

It comes down to degrees… Are you all in?  or do you dance in the shadows waiting for the other shoe to drop before you drop to your knees and invite Him in??  I have learned that pursuing His Mystery, His Love, and His value system is a powerful tool. It changes how you see life, It changes how you love Him and How you love others. He is the most amazing gift to pursue. Your life will never be the same.  It's because of Him we even exist. 

Its Him. It's always HIM… HE WOWs me.  

But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. Matthew 6:33 Esv

And without faith, it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him. Hebrews 11:6

I love those who love me, and those who seek me diligently find me. Proverbs 8:17 Esv

You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. Jeremiah 29:13

I fell in love with you, not for your looks, but for who you really are.- 

Meaning of crimson: a rich deep red color inclining to purple. 

The word crimson is in the Bible in 46 instances 

Are we color blind?  Do we see the colors before us? Do they have a deeper meaning?? 

Our Heavenly Father created so many beautiful various colors. Just look at nature. See the beauty in the color He has painted on every delicate flower. The colors are vibrant, pale and a powerful statement of resurrection after a cold winter season.  

The color Crimson signifies the celestial love of good. 

However when I think of the color crimson. It transports my mind to a time from long ago... When I see crimson I see RED... It makes me mad, it breaks my heart and wounds my soul.  And then I ask, How could this happen. How could we stand by and let the beautiful Son of God suffer such pain... How could this loving soul be tormented in such a horrific way? Scripture shares the details of His humiliation, His pain, and the very crimson blood He shed for us, His children... 

We let Him down...Many of us today still turn away, Does this wound His very soul?  Do we cause Him more pain... Does His anguish bring Him vivid memories of when the last drop of His crimson blood fell... 

It was His destiny from Birth. How does He still Love us? Why does He still Love us? 

In our world, and with our human character flaws we seem to hate others for so much less. 

His capacity to love us will always puzzle me... I don’t know how He does it?  I can only thank Him for His heart and His LOVE. ❤

His story is told in the beauty of the dark crimson rose. The Rose has a double meaning. On one side it’s about sadness and mourning and death. On another, it has a more joyous meaning - rebirth and love.

His rebirth and Love is what has given all mankind our eternal HOPE. 

It’s Him. It’s always Him. 

 “They stripped Him and put a scarlet robe on Him.. Matt. 27:28

Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.”
Isaiah 1:18 KJV

Seas Of Crimson (Full Video) - Without Words | Synesthesia

You know that in a race all the runners run but only one wins the prize, don’t you? You must run in such a way that you may be victorious. Everyone who enters an athletic contest practices self-control in everything. They do it to win a wreath that withers away, but we run to win a prize that never fades.1 Corinthians 9:24-25

Meaning of run: move at a speed faster than a walk, never having both or all the feet on the ground at the same time:

There are 35 verses in the Bible about running, 

The word run brings Tom Hanks to my mind and the words ... Run Forest Run... Such a great movie... 

Do we walk away with a message?  Are we different? Do people treat us differently? Do we crumble? Or do we find that inner strength to break through all obstacles? Or do we hide? And let life and beautiful souls pass us by? 

I have witnessed a fear so great that it makes people run away and hide in hopes it will go away... 

They may find peace for a brief moment in time!! But the fear will continue to show its ugly head... and the cycle of running will continue until you face that it is you that you are afraid of. 

Most fears are manifested in our own heads. Now don't get me wrong there are times in our lives that fear will keep us from disasters in our life.. 

However, how do we learn the difference??? 

When we look to God's word for answers. He speaks to our hearts. He soothes our souls... He tells us 365 times. Fear Not... So I say don't run, don't hide... Hold Him tightly and listen to His whispers.  He is our strength. He is our peace. He is our first love... He is our guide for life. He holds all the answers to our future... 

It's Him, It's always Him 

I say RUN... Run as fast as you can to His open arms. He is waiting. 

Isaiah 40:31. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. 

Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him. James 1:12

Whitney Houston - Run To You (Lyrics)

“When God closes a door, he opens a window, but it's up to you to find it.” ― Jeannette Walls

Meaning of window an opening in the wall or roof of a building or vehicle that is fitted with glass or other transparent material in a frame to admit light or air and allow people to see out.

There are approximately 27 verses about windows in the Bible.

When I started to think about the word window.  Many window images danced through my head. There are some windows that take up entire walls, some are just a small opening that allows a very small light to peek in through the darkness. And then there is a computer program called windows… Hmm, interesting?

Many of us have touched our computer keys and we have moved through many programs on our computer’s hard drive. Searching, creating, sharing, saving .. Without truly knowing this tidbit of interesting information.

Did you know that the program windows has a mode called GOD mode?

It gives us access to the operating system's control panel. The real name for the God Mode in Windows is the Windows Master Control Panel shortcut. God mode seems to be the most helpful for advanced Windows users and enthusiasts that work in IT.  

When I read this, I could not help feel it parallels our God. He is our operating system. He has always been in control… He hides deep within our hearts.. We just need to access His Love…  The biggest difference I see is our God is not only for advanced users or even enthusiasts. He is for everyone… His is the Master Control of everything we see, we touch and feel.. and beyond. 

I have to smile because I believe God must have guided the creators of the software windows. He leaves us many clues. Do we see them?  Do we find it a coincidence that He has placed Himself in everything we touch? I don’t, everything leads to Him if only we would open the windows of our hearts to Him. It's then that we begin to see Him, His Creations, His beauty, His wisdom, His Love … in everything. He is the meaning of WOW.

But soft ! what light through yonder window breaks.

Its Him. It's always Him

And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. Ezekiel 36:26

“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. Matthew 5:8

GODS FINGERPRINTS ARE EVERYWHERE Evidence of an Unprovable GOD!

I choose Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, and Self-Control. To these, I commit my day. If I succeed, I will give thanks. If I fail, I will seek His grace. And then when this day is done I will place my head on my pillow and rest.”― Max Lucado -

Meaning of choice an act of selecting or making a decision when faced with two or more possibilities. 

There are approximately 41 verses that speak about the word choice. 

Living life is chock-full of choices. As I thought about the word choices I did what most of us do. I Googled it ... And I found an article that  stated, “per many internet sources it’s estimated that an adult makes about 35,000 remotely conscious decisions each day [in contrast a child makes about 3,000] (Sahakian & Labuzetta, 2013.” 

No wonder many of us seem so disconnected, so tired, so lost... 

All through history many humans have made choices that have affected our world.. Our cities, our homes...and our personal lives... 

How do we know when the choices we make are the right ones??  That is that million-dollar question? How do we know??? We all know life is such a mosaic of highs and lows and these are a direct result of the choices we make... Some bring us joy and some bring us heartfelt pain. 

So I made the choice to peel back the pages of a book that many hold as a beautiful life manual.  Just how does the choice of reading the Bible stack up? It’s such a confusing book? Do we understand the language of long ago? I must admit 12, months ago I thought the same thing !!! But my choice to discover more about a love that defines imagination found me making choices that changed many things in my life... Most by choice and I  have shared most of them openly. 

The biggest choice that had the most amazing spiritual impact on my life was to love My heavenly Father with all my heart all my soul and all of my might. It’s a choice that many run too, many run away from.. and some dance in the shadows hoping that the minimum is enough. 

I have not been asked to judge. I have not been asked to criticize... I have been asked to share a love that brings hope.. that brings us peace and the promise of a brighter tomorrow. 

It is a gift of love for every man, woman, and child.

It clearly is a choice... 

I choose Him! And I will always choose Him. 

It’s Him, It's always him.

You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you. John 15:16
