Jesus answered him, “ ‘Love the Lord your God with every passion of your heart, with all the energy of your being, and with every thought that is within you.’ This is the great and supreme commandment.  And the second is like it in importance: ‘You must love your friend in the same way you love yourself.’ Contained within these commandments to love you will find all the meaning of the Law and the Prophets.” Matthew 22:37 TPT

“Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!” Daniel 7:13 ESV 

Who is He?

I am writing this early in the morning.  The words of Psalm 24 came to me.  “Lift up your head, O gates, and be lifted up, ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in”.   As I thought of this my hands began to rise and I gave Him thanks.  That began a time of praise and love for Him who loves us so. 

Sometimes we forget who we are.  We are busy with life.  Who are we???

We are a child of the King.  The One Who made the universe.  The One Who can stop time, the One Who can calm the storm.  The one Who loved us SO much that He gave His only Son that we might live for Him and have everlasting life with Him. 

Who is the King of glory?  The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord strong in battle.   He is also that gentle Shepherd Who leads us each day and night.  He calls us by our name.  And if we listen, He will lead us along the path He has for us. 

Today may this be the day you turn your eyes upon Him.  And you hear Him calling your name as He whispers, He loves you.  As King David wrote in Psalm 24.  “May this be the generation of them that seek Him, that seek His face.”

The earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. For he hath founded it upon the seas and established it upon the floods.  Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord? or who shall stand in his holy place? He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. He shall receive the blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of his salvation. This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy face, O Jacob. Selah.  Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up ye everlasting doors, and the King of glory shall come in. Who is this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle. Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. Who is this King of glory? The Lord of hosts, he is the King of glory. Selah. Psalm 24

Third day- King of Glory

"My soul is awakened, my spirit is soaring and carried aloft on the wings of the breeze." ~ Anne Bronte

Meaning of breeze a gentle wind: “tantalizing cooking smells wafted on the evening breeze"  

The word breeze does not appear too many times in the Bible.  However, the word wind is in the Bible approximately 52 times. 

I find the word breeze so soft so gentle. As I studied this word I happen to be sitting under a huge maple tree. I actually happened to be sitting in my zero gravity chair. I was positioned in a laying down position, my arms stretch to either side. I was listening to beautiful music and I sat there watching the clouds drift by so gently. The leaves of the tree swayed in such beautiful rhythmic movement. The cool breeze danced across my skin, it was such a refreshing and calming moment. 

Do we take the time to love our Father in the sweetest of moments? Do we thank Him for allowing that gentle breeze to penetrate our souls? There are so many gifts He gives us! Why are we too busy to see them !! 

We have all heard we must stop and smell the roses a million times. But nowhere does it give the rightful credit to God for making the beautiful rose? Where does it say the scent of the rose was created by God. Stop and savor the beauty of the moment. They were made for you! By the most amazing spiritual love, we will ever be blessed to know!! I am grateful for all of His blessings great and small. 

Have an amazing day... see Him in each beautiful moment.

It’s Him! it’s always Him 

In this growing digital frontier, I just want to shed a little light out into the world to light up people’s lives in the hope that they to will help inspire others which will slowly but surely change the world, even in a small way.

..I stand in awe... And yes, HE WOW's me... This blog was created by someone (me) that had no desire to write... I felt a had no words to share. So never think that this cannot happen to you... One day when you least expect it God will call your name... And like the weather expect change!!

Thank you, to you the reader for taking the time to read what has been inspired by a GREATER Love. When I started this adventure, He closed some doors but opened many others. And I remember saying if I could share His love with just one soul, I would consider this a win... My heart, vulnerability, and LOVE have been shared within these pages of this blog. So, it has been quite a growing experience. But HE knew that this would be the case!! I thank my LOVEs, you the reader, and my special friend Joann for walking through this adventure of discovering the greatest LOVE, I have ever known. HE WOWs me!!!

Victory Is Yours (LIVE) - Bethel Music | VICTORY

“God is the reason why even at the saddest part of life we smile, even in the confusion we understand, even in betrayal we trust, and even in pain we love.”

Meaning of confused (of a person) unable to think clearly; bewildered.

"she was utterly confused about what had just happened"

The word confused or confusion is referred to approximately 75 times in the Bible.

Where do we start? How do we do this? I am so confused about this word. 

Confusion is just a state of mind or does it affect other things? Must we go through a period of confusion to find the value of peace and clarity?? Our thought patterns are so complex. Here are 7 skills that we utilize in making a decision. “Observation, analysis, interpretation, reflection, evaluation, inference, explanation, problem solving, and decision making.” I believe when the process runs smoothly we do not have the time for confusion. It’s when we find ourselves stuck in any part of the process we began to second guess ourselves resulting in confusion, doubt, and unrest.

When I look back in time and reflected on this word, I began to analyze when I last felt confused. I actually do remember. I remember saying I was bewildered and confused?  It was a significant moment in time. It was one that made a dramatic impact on my life. 

I have always been pretty even-keeled. Pretty strong in how I approached life. But when I had a Holy Spirit Encounter, I remember saying I felt bewildered and confused and I felt like I was coming apart at the seams. I felt a love that was so difficult to describe and contain. I felt an energy level that would require little to no sleep. I felt an insatiable desire to talk to God and to learn about Jesus and the Holy Spirit.  All these things were so new to me.  Way out of my normal character and unfortunately, I was not prepared. 

However, to fully understand the dynamics and where I am coming from I will need to admit I did not have a “religious background” nor did I study the Bible. So, my zealous behavior was not my norm and I found it very confusing. But my desire to know more about this overwhelming love was far greater than any confusion I could ever feel.  So, I surrendered my heart and began my journey. 

He placed many people in my path and each one shared a nugget of wisdom. But the more time I spent with Elohim the more He wows me, the more He taught me, and the more He spoke to my soul.  He introduced me to His beautiful Son Jesus. I lovingly call Him Yeshua. I must admit I love His gentleness and loving smile, He knows how to brighten any day. 

I have held on tightly to God’s hand, as I traveled on this road of discovery, He reintroduced me to the Holy Spirit. I say re-introduced because my first encounter was with Him… But at that time, I was too naïve to know it was Him. He is the beautiful sweet breath of God Himself.

My confusion became distant with each passing day. And somewhere along the way, I fell in love with Him, all facets of Him. My Heavenly Father, His Son, and His very breath… He has held me in my darkest most confusing moments and shared in each of my victories no matter how insignificant and small they seem. I love how He guides my heart and gently leads me to discover things He wants me to know. 

And I think wow look what I found… LOL and then I smile and know in my heart He planted it there just for me.  

One of my many lessons during this amazing journey has been, there is no need for confusion. Answers may not be immediate. Learn to lean on Him. Learn to trust Him with all things, Learn to LOVE Him above else. Hold on to Him tightly. Clarity will come with each passing day. And you may discover that you just might fall in LOVE and feel a LOVE greater than you ever dreamed possible. 

It's Him! It is always Him.

You Know Me - Steffany Gretzinger | The Loft Sessions

Priceless in HIS eyes!

The meaning of bought -buy (bai) – present participle ˈbuying: past tense, past participle bought (boːt) – verb to get (something) by exchanging it for money. He has bought a car. 

I truly could not find the word count for the word bought. However, it truly is a hidden treasure...

If I asked you today how much are you worth? Would you begin to start to calculate all the things you do on any given day? Would you or could you come up with an hourly rate time how many years you will walk on this earth? Are you aware that it has been calculated that a stay at home mom job is worth approximately $160,000 a year.. calculate that times a lifetime.. hmmm 

So many moms feel that it is a beautiful but thankless job.. Do you ever wonder why as children we do not even think of the worth and value of the sacrifices made?? Until we become a parent we do not understand the true meaning of this love and sacrifices that are made on our behalf. 

But what does the Bible say about this treasure of the word bought.. It truly is a selfless act did you know Jesus thinks you are priceless. There is no greater value He places on each one of His children. We can not even begin to understand the depth of His love and sacrifice. Unlike growing into the understanding of an earthly parent we will never be in the position to fully understand the complexity of giving up your life so the multitude of His children can have a life... And although many of His children try to understand we are a selfish lot... 

Do we love Him with that type of sacrificing love? Do we even sacrifice our time just to spend time with Him? Or are there more important things to do... and we just try just to fit Him in when we have a few minutes to spare ... Just keep in mind He thinks we are priceless and even with all of our problems He bought us on the very day we opened our hearts! He did not wait until we were on sale!!! Because we are all His treasures!  

I can only try each day to repay this gift of love that He openly poured into my heart !!! And for the sacrifice He made for me I hope to prove to Him it was not in vain ... and that I appreciate Him more and more each day!!! To me He is priceless there is no other Love in our world like Jesus! 

It’s Him it’s always Him !! 

1 Corinthians 6:20 “For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which is God's.” King James Version (KJV)

13 Christ bought us with His blood and made us free from the Law. In that way, the Law could not punish us. Christ did this by carrying the load and by being punished instead of us. It is written, “Anyone who hangs on a cross is hated and punished.” 14 Because of the price Christ Jesus paid, the good things that came to Abraham might come to the people who are not Jews. And by putting our trust in Christ, we receive the Holy Spirit He has promised. Galatians 3:13-15

HOW HE LOVES // worship cover

We are to seek the Lord Almighty Himself. Not for what he can do for us, but for who He IS.

The Hebrew word for “face” in the Old Testament is often translated as “presence.” When we seek the face of God, we are seeking His presence.

Seek the LORD and His strength; seek His presence continually!" (Psalm 105:4, ESV)

What is this love that drives me to seek you? What have you done with my heart? You have given me a thirst in my soul that only you can satisfy. You come to me with the freshness of the morning dew. You come to me in the stillness of the night? You whisper words of love to my heart that reaches places I did not know even existed. 

I ask, what is it that you desire of me? Why do pursue me with such relentless vigor? What can I possibly have that you desire so? I have nothing that is worthy of you. 

I can only give you my heart ... my love? 

Don’t keep me waiting to hear your answer? The anticipation is all-consuming.. all distracting ...  It fills me every waking moment. 

This all-consuming magnetic pull on my vulnerable soul.. is beyond my understanding. 

I wonder when I am in your presence will I have the courage to speak? Or will your majestic splendor render me speechless?

My soul's desire is to stand in the shadow of your grace. I crave to feel your beautiful presence in the deepest chambers of my heart.

I close my eyes take a deep breath and whisper your name, Elohim again, and again. I am so desperate to just see your beautiful face... 

I find I must go deep within my soul to find you. My mind must surrender allowing my heart to lead me to you... My soul begins to open like a beautiful flower awakening on the first day of spring.  My breathing becomes shallow with anticipation. My spiritual eyes find the freedom to open slowly...

And in that beautiful moment in time you invite me in ... It’s there I see you like never before!  Your beautiful face and all your radiant glory... 

It’s you!  It’s you. Your beauty. Your grace. Your love... there are no words. 

My heart is overwhelmed with an unexplainable love that is so difficult to contain.

I am mesmerized... I am consumed as your love engulfs every part of my mind, my body, and my soul.. . I can only babble utterances that I myself do not fully understand... You render me speechless... 

My heart desires to stay here in this moment forever?  There is nothing in our world that can even compare... 

I know my request is not possible while my feet are still bound to my earthly existence. But know that there are times my soul feels torn between two worlds ... yours..and mine.

I will never stop seeking your face, I will forever yearn to hear your voice and I am committed to learning the rhythmic beating of your heart. 

You have left me with a growing desire to understand this amazing gift of you !!! You have become as important as the very air I breathe. 

Your name will remain forever on my lips as I feel your name is etched within my heart. 

Teach me your thoughts. Teach me this beautiful language of love that you share... Teach me ... 

It's you............. It has always been you... #Breathless

Dustin Smith - "Encounter (I Want To See Your Face)" (Live)

God made us to crave—to desire eagerly, want greatly, and long for Him. -Lysa TerKeurst

Meaning of - Crave definition, to long for; want greatly; desire eagerly: to crave sweets; to crave affection.

The word crave is referred to in the Bible in 24 instances. 

What is this burning in my soul?  What is this void that only our Creator can satisfy?  Was this yearning to search for the beauty He possesses placed in my heart at birth?  

Did He plan the perfect date and time? He knows how to entice us by whispering our names? Was this His plan! Has His plan for us been unfolding since the beginning of time?? How is He so sure we would come! There was no doubt in His heart that we would answer His call... 

He knows how to touch each one of us in the deepest chambers of our hearts... He gives us a sweet taste of heaven and places a craving within our soul that only He can satisfy.

It is not of this world! 

It’s a spiritual journey of LOVE that only He can share with us... We must never stop seeking His presence. His Love is beyond our human understanding ... 

I am helpless in His presence. He knows how to capture the essence of who we are and who we ever hope to be. 

I have to ask, I must know, How do I penetrate His Heart !! 

He knows I will be relentless in my pursuit... 

Will this craving in my soul ever be satisfied in this world? Or will I be whisked away to places that I can only dream of ...  as I meditate on His majestic power, beauty, and grace!

For now, I can only close my eyes and see Him, with my spiritual eyes, 

feel Him in my beating heart and find Him in the deepest most intimate places of my soul. 

It’s Him!!! It has always been Him !!  He wows me.

Seek and deeply long for the Lord and His strength [His power, His might]; Seek and deeply long for His face and His presence continually. Psalm 105:4

And My people, who are called by My Name, humble themselves, and pray and seek (crave, require as a necessity) My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear [them] from heaven, and forgive their sin and heal their land 2 Chronicles 7:14

I want you, I need you. Elvis 

"It's not hard to make decisions when you know what your values are." - Roy Disney (1893 - 1971), 

The meaning of core - the central or most important part of something. 

When we began to peel back the pages of the Bible to discover just how many times is the word core utilized? Hmm, It's not too surprising that they use the heart as a central part of things.. and not the word core.

I have always heard “Good to the Core”  But what does that mean ?? The apple is such a good example of a visual. Most of us have enjoyed that juicy ripened apple all the way to the core. 

But as we further study the goodness in man can anyone truly be “Good to the core”?  Biblical speaking if our heritage is to be free from sin then to be “Good to the Core” is almost an impossible mission! As we are told it’s in our nature to sin. As born-again Christians, this “goodness” should be our ultimate goal... But to all of us who strive to reach that almost impossible victory ring we see it as heaven. It is a slow and difficult but rewarding climb. 

I do believe we live in chaotic times. Many people have lost touch with the values that guide us to a greater understanding of who we truly are becoming ... Are we becoming everything God intended us to be?  Or is there that tiny worm 🐛 that has penetrated our soul to upset the goodness of life before us? 

We all have our struggles against the flesh. Our actions, our words, our kindness, our compassion, our forgiveness towards others, that tiny snide remark, or envious thought, or above all else our daily devotion and love for God our Heavenly Father. 

He gave us Jesus as a gift with a beautiful resolution .. Believing in Him is the only way. You are redeemed by His blood and His amazing grace.

But this gift is not a free ticket to heaven. We must put one foot in front of the other each day and give it 110 of ourselves.  We can not give our heart to Jesus and keep our feet in the path to destruction. Your innermost man will go to an internal war..  Doing the “right thing” can be a struggle but do not abandon HOPE.. because it’s is Jesus and the Holy Spirit that will give you the endurance and strength to be victorious over the worm 🐛with the mission to seek and destroy. Which in essence, will break down the goodness of the apple and it will become “ rotten to the core” 

I do not have the answers to tell you how to measure or deal with your earthly struggle. Because we all have them they are so similar yet uniquely our own. 

I can say I have witnessed and found out personally when we surrender to Jesus the easier life obstacles become. The stronger we become in our ability to ward off temptation. And His grace becomes a beautiful armor of love ❤. 

It is through the power of our Savior's precious blood that we find victory over things of this world... He is our light in our darkest hour. He is our strength when we can not withstand the heat!  He is our comforter when the world does not understand. He is our promise of HOPE. He is our role model. He is the biggest LOVE story ever told !! 

It’s Him. It’s always Him. 

Even a child makes himself known by his acts, by whether his conduct is pure and upright. proverbs 20:11 ESV

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

For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your ancestors, but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect. He was chosen before the creation of the world but was revealed in these last times for your sake. 1 Peter 1:18-20
