When we think of heaven and earth do we question what is the space between? Why are we earth-bound? Our bodies hold us captive. But our souls can move between worlds... do we tap into that resource?
Come, join me as I travel back in time. And I open my heart and share a word from our Bible word study and meditation. I have fused them together to create a self-narrated story called
The most powerful weapon on earth is a human soul on fire – Ferdinand Foch
Meaning of Kindle - light or set on fire.
The word kindle is in the Bible approximately 27 times.
Have you ever heard where there is smoke there is fire? Is fire even a spiritual possibility?
The question in my mind becomes how do we build this fire in the first place? Is there a dormant spark that lives within our soul ?? Was that desire to LOVE our Creator placed within our hearts long before we were even born? What is that accelerant that makes us feel so spiritually alive? What sparks a flame into a warm glow of love ??
How do we find that missing piece that haunts our every waking moment? Why do we feel such a void in our souls? It seems no matter how hard we try, we can not fill this empty place that lives within... Success, jobs, cars, homes, people, things, all these worldly things bring temporary happiness...
How can we go back to when we felt that craving and love in our soul? What can satisfy this thirst? This hunger? What is the purpose of our life?
So many questions race through our hearts and minds.
In order to build a fire, one must gather tinder, kindling, and fuelwood to start the fire. But friction is needed or what you gathered will be nothing but a pile of cold sticks...
Spiritually speaking we can read the Bible and yes it’s an amazingly beautiful love story...
We must realize that God’s Holy transformation of our heart is the friction that is needed to spark our soul... The Holy Spirit will fan the flame by giving you the gift of understanding His words, His desires. And the ability to hear His whispers as he gently guides us home.
But it’s the kindling that will ignite the fire of LOVE that will consume your heart... and whisper sweet love songs to your soul...is Him!! Some call Him Yeshua others call Him Jesus I call Him a beautiful gift from our Heavenly Father. He is an intricate man with a Heavenly connection. He was woven from the warmest loving parts of our Heavenly Fathers DNA. Our Father gave us the very best of Himself for a beautiful purpose. He gave us this gift to fill the yearning in His heart to save His children and to love all of mankind...
Can’t you feel Him in your soul.? Invite Him into your life and get swept away ...You will be filled with that burning desire to learn more about a spiritual love that is beyond our human understanding. Discovering the facts about His amazing life are only stepping stones to His heart. But getting to know Him on a personal intimate level is a heavenly experience and a gift so difficult to describe. He is such an affair of the heart... 🔥❤
It’s Him, It’s always Him
For this reason, I remind you to kindle afresh the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands.
2 Timothy 1:6
And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. Mark 12:30
Teach me, Father, Teach me in the way I should go, Teach me How to LOVE like you. Make me far better than I was before.
OH teach me what it means that cross uplifted high. As I looked at the word TEACH this old hymn came to mind.
I could tell you many ways and many stories about this word. And that is used 215 times in the Bible. But I only want to share about the greatest Teacher. From the moment we are born He gently begins to show us Who He is.
As we grow we notice the sun and moon and stars. He says I made them all for you. Then He teaches us that He came down to earth to be your Redeemer.He wept over us until we saw how much He loves us.
He says I gave my life for you what have you given to me? Our answer must be “I come just teach me all it means to know you and the fellowship of your sufferings for me”.
To the willing and seeking heart, He will teach you day by day. He knows how we best learn. He knows what will touch our hearts.
In a country where only one percent are believers in this amazing God. An older woman began to read His Word and He began to teach her, others came up to her to help her in her search. After some weeks she realized that He had come to earth to save her and give her that love and fellowship with Him. Her testimony rang out in that small Church. “I am no longer alone”.
And that is just one story of how the greatest Teacher will touch your heart with words of His love.If we know Him and love Him His command to us is to share and help others come to Him by the words we share and by helping them understand what this life with Him is all about.
He is the greatest Teacher.
Go forth in whatever way is open to you speaking and teaching of this wonderful love and life of our Beloved. He wept over us.May we weep as we sow seeds of love and life.In this way, we share in His sufferings.
We are commanded to go and make disciples. Teaching them to observe all things He has told us. We may not have known Him very long, but we already know we love Him with all our heart, soul, and mind. SO
“He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.”
Psalm 126:6 KJV
“Shew me thy ways, O Lord; teach me thy paths. Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.”Psalm 25:4-5 KJV
Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow. James 1:17...
Meaning of shadow a dark area or shape produced by a body coming between rays of light and a surface.
There are 100 verses that reference the shadow in the Bible.
Have you ever tried shadow dancing? Or perhaps you have tried finger shadow puppet art. Have you ever thought about why and what purpose is our shadow? It does not seem to serve any true purpose? Or does it? What is the difference between shadow and shade they are both so similar? Both are created by the blocking of light!! However shadow is most used to describe a silhouette or dark image of man ... Have we ever given it any thought? That perhaps the shadow we see of ourselves is our soul's reflection?? Hmm, We know our soul lives with us but we have never seen it ... or have we?? It hides deep within...it never leaves us as long as we have breath...
To create a shadow we must have these conditions shadow: a light source, an interrupter, and a background.
To then ponder this word further ...
We know from previous teachings that God is light so in essence, He has no shadow because He is our light source. We are the interrupter but on what background does our soul reflect?? But better stated in order for our soul to cast a shadow we must be standing in God's light... I can not think of a better place to be. There is a mystery to our shadow.
I remember my toddler the first time he witnessed his shadow it was traumatic. He was so scared because He did not understand this darkness. He could not escape its grip it followed Him where ever he ran... He screamed and cried... But much like our Heavenly parent, I pointed out how it was a beautiful part of ourselves and it moved when we moved... I remember as we danced around and He began to giggle and I could see the freedom and joy on his face. It was at that moment He realized that as long as He looked to the light His little soul would feel such freedom and joy. That his shadow is a result of feeling that oneness with our creator... So I invite you the next time you see your shadow.... dance! Dance with Him... He is our light source.
It’s Him, it’s always Him.
Our soul will feel the freedom and joy that only He can bring!!!
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change. James 1:17
One day early in my journey I had a conversation with my Heavenly Father and ask Him this question.
How do you feel about social media? I suggested that it would be a great way for me to tell my story of His great LOVE. I was a very private person before He touched my soul. But when this happened I step out of the shadows of life and into His LIGHT. I have shared so much that vulnerability became a way of life. But I would not change a thing... it has been the most amazing journey of my life...
And as they say, the rest is history... This is a gift to Him, from my heart.
I could not have done any of it without Him... He has blessed me in so many ways...There is nothing I have that can repay Him but my LOVE.
I pray that somewhere within the words, images, and meditations that I have shared we have touched your heart.
Never underestimate what our Heavenly Father, can do with just a pinch of clay... He WOWs me.
The blog has 24,500 views, and the podcast has 2,040... and If one of those happens to be you.
Thank you.
Please share His Love... your life with never be the same.
But now, O LORD, you are our father; we are the clay, and you our potter; and we all are the work of your hand. thou art. Isaiah 63:16.
“That is the reason you should always stay awake and be alert because you don’t know the day or the hour when the Bridegroom will appear. Matthew 25:13-15 TPT..
Meaning of night the period of darkness in every twenty-four hours; the time from sunset to sunrise.
I did not see a word count for the word night. However, I will share what I did find. “God created light and separated the light from the darkness, calling light "day" and darkness night. “
The question that haunts my soul is .... are we ready? Or will we be sleeping so soundly that we miss the most amazing moment of our life...
As I sit in the darkness of my empty room I can only see a small light spilling onto the wooden floor... And I began to wonder with great anticipation is this the night? Will I be swept away into the heavens? Who will be chosen? Will my soulful ears hear the footsteps of our Savior? Our beloved King! Or will I be left behind... Will we heed His sweet whispers? Are we constantly refining our senses? Is our soul preparing us for the days ahead?
I do believe many are yearning to see God's face... Many can’t wait to sit down and talk to Jesus... I have heard many times, I have a list of questions I need to ask Him?? Some speak of the Holy Spirit but are unclear of the role He will play in the future ... He dwells within us ... So am I to assume if I leave this body behind and become a soulful being the Holy Spirit comes too? or where does He go?? As you can see the night clears the busyness of the day ... stillness arrives and many thoughts dance through our heads...
We do have many unknowns? But oh my we have been blessed with many knowns ... As we spend the time with Him day or night we began to see His precious face... We can feel His powerful yet loving presence.. It's overwhelming... Our heartbeat strengthens and we began to yearn for more... more... more of Him.
It’s at this time we began to realize, we may never know the answers to all of our questions... We must focus our desires on Him and Him alone. Our faith may be tested, our friends and family may question our love... Our curiosity may shift from unanswered questions to a yearning of discovering all the beautiful facets of Him... Some will fall in love with an indescribable unexplainable soulful love for Him.
I find the stillness of night one of the most intimate times of our day. It’s when we can silence our minds and feel Him with our hearts. We can feel the depth of His character and feel the vastness of His love... We grow to know our Creator and our purpose becomes clearer with each passing day.
I believe as He whispers to our soul... He is training His children to react to His voice no matter the time ... day or night... but I ask you, are you using this time wisely? Are you spending the time cultivating your heaven language and refining your senses ... Or are you too busy with earthly things to not be prepared? Shhh listen.... listen can you hear Him? Do you feel Him stirring in your soul? It’s Him.
I can only hope that I have given my soul the tools to be ready to hear the most important voice we can ever be tuned in to hear ... He promised He will return... Be watchful for His arrival.. watch day and night...
Be ready ...
I must admit my eyes are getting heavy, and I must get some rest... Goodnight my LOVEs find me in my dreams... That it’s where my soul awaits to hear your sweet voice... It's the most amazing LOVE frequency we can ever experience.
Shh listen with me...
... It's Him. It’s always Him...Feel Him in your soul....
Matthew 25:13 - Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
“It’s impossible to disappear from you or to ask the darkness to hide me, for your presence is everywhere, bringing light into my night.”
When I look at this old beat-up typewriter... I can only hear the beautiful melodic keys and wonder who it belonged to and how many lives it touched with the words of LOVE. (lg)
Meaning of the word epistle one of the letters adopted as books of the New Testament: a liturgical lection usually from one of the New Testament Epistles.A formal letter
Epistles make up the majority of the Bible’s New Testament. Of the 27 books, 21 are epistles.
A letter is a written message conveyed from one person to another. Is writing a letter a dying art? Think what is the last letter you have formally written? It used to be the most used method of sharing your thoughts and your heart across the world... These Letters can be formal or informal.
In today’s environment, we use quick notes and short text... It’s quick and all punctuations, salutations, and letter forms... are nonexistent and this is considered normal ... Even spelling ... who could get by without spell check???
When I began to ponder this word.. my mind went to a time where letters brought messages of love... Possibly a soldier who is far away from home and this letter is his only connection to home... How excited He became to get any news. Some letters even carried a hint of perfume that reminded him of that special love.
When we look at the Bible which during this word study we have determined it’s a beautiful love story written by souls who loved our Heavenly Father, His beautiful son, and the Holy Spirit.
For example, we have Paul who used this art form to teach and to share his knowledge and heart about a greater love. He wrote many letters he had a burning desire to show anyone who would read or listen the direction home.. (into our Fathers loving arms)
So again I ask you? When is the last time you have written a formal letter? When is the last time you have written a love letter? Have we forgotten how?
One of the most known verses is. We love because he first loved us”
(1 John 4:19). When is the last time you told Him I love you?
So that said, I challenge you to close off the outside world. Turn off your phone, play music that moves your soul... dust off your pen, grab a piece of paper, and pour out your heart and soul to your first LOVE... Write that formal letter let Him know how you feel... I will start ...
Dear LOVEs,
You are my beautiful 3n1. I love you more than life itself.
Be inspired, and open your heart... Be His beloved...
(tears are allowed)
It's Him. It’s always Him❤!!!!
Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God, and every one that loveth is born of God and knoweth God.
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 darkest of night? You whisper words of love to my heart that reaches places I did not know even existed.
It's you............. It has always been you...
“When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, Lord, will I seek.”

Come, join me as I travel back in time. And I open my heart and share a word from our Bible word study and meditation. I have fused them together to create a self-narrated story called
"If you have never known the power of God's love, then maybe it is because you have never asked to know it - I mean really asked, expecting an answer." ~ Frederick Buechner
Meaning of sit - to be or remain in a particular position or state
The word sit is in the Bible 240 times...
As I walked in the meadow behind my house this morning... my heart drifted here...
I can feel and see His majestic splendor. I can feel the warm summer breeze as it gently dances across my skin... I can hear His gentle whispers as the leaves began to slowly fall down from the tallest of trees. They drifted and floated downward until they kissed the green grass that swayed in the soft gentle breeze...
What an amazing moment... do we stop life long enough to savor the beautiful moments He gifts us to enjoy...
Or are we so busy we do not take the time to recognize it’s Him?
I do believe there is something that happens when we sit. When we relax, we close our eyes and clear our mind.... and think of Him... It's at this very moment, our spirit can feel its God-given freedom ... And we are allowed to meet Him in the deepest places of our mind, body, and soul ... It is there that we can drift to a place of peace and complete surrender. It is there that we can feel His heavenly love deep within the very essence of who we are...
There is a communion with God on such a spiritual level that your deepest desire is to just sit in His presence... He fills every void we may feel, we can feel a completeness that we unknowingly crave ... As we are immersed in this unconditional LOVE we began to dream of never leaving His side...
But life happens and He knows we can not stay there forever... But it's these glimpses of His heavenly love that keeps us wanting more... more of Him... He tugs at our heart and leaves us with a burning desire in our soul to chase Him for eternity... He is my escape, He is my peace, He is my heavenly love ... its love is like no other...
He Wows me!!!!
Ok, where is the closest chair ??? Sitting and silencing my mind takes on a new meaning ...
It’s Him. it’s always Him
She had a sister called Mary, who was seated at the Lord’s feet, listening to His word. Luke 10:39
God has a purpose behind every problem. He uses circumstances to develop our character. In fact, he depends more on circumstances to make us like Jesus than he depends on our reading the Bible. - Rick Warren
- Rick Warren
Meaning of circumstance, a fact or condition connected with or relevant to an event or action:
The word circumstance appears 8 times in the Bible.
Have you ever been asked to love beyond circumstances? I do believe as a lover of Christ we are all asked to love this way... Sometimes our hearts will feel empathy and this love seems to come naturally to many...
But... when things are hard and people are difficult loving past circumstances takes work! It takes internal healing! It takes spiritual growth! It will bring you through the most amazing experiences of your life... Because I believe it's not the love you give away it’s the love that grows and lives within you that make such a beautiful impact on your life...
It is the sweetest most freeing love we can ever feel!! It’s when we can feel this kind of love in the deepest chambers of our hearts... that the most heavenly joy, peace, and unselfish love can be obtained.
And if you truly know me... you know where I am going .... all love begins and never ends with????
Him! It’s always Him!! Keep Him close in all circumstances...
Philippians 4:6
Do not be anxious or worried about anything, but in everything [every circumstance and situation] by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, continue to make your [specific] requests known to God.
Philippians 4:11
I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content in any circumstance.
The most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched, they must be felt with the heart. – Helen Keller
Meaning of give - the capacity to bend or alter in shape under pressure; elasticity: freely transfer the possession of (something) to (someone); hand over to:
I must admit I was not successful in finding out just how many times the word Give is in the Bible...
But, as I began to study the word (give) it placed me where most would think.. Matthew 6:3, Jesus tells us to give 'so that your right hand does not know what your left hand is doing. Our reward for giving comes from God, not from the accolades of others.
I understand giving with my mind but my heart quickly leads me to Him... And I was flooded with questions... What do we give Him? Is it our best? Or do we give Him our scraps? Our leftover time? A morsel of our love?
I must admit there are times in this life we are pulled in many directions and time with Him can be difficult to carve out of each day..
But these times are so important, so precious, so beautiful.. We must get back to basics... And love Him first... We must invite Him to walk with us daily... Don't leave Him behind when you leave your home... Invite Him.. He will stick closer than anyone you have on this earth!!
I have given Him my heart, and He has breathed life into my soul... I can never go back to an existence without Him...
I can only draw closer to Him each day... I pray that He will guide me as I give His love away. Many do not comprehend the vastness the beauty, the magnetic pull His love has on my soul.. There are times I too find it difficult to understand. I can only stand in awe and feel blessed that He whispered my name and I followed
It's Him it's always Him...
Give Him your heart your life will never be the same!'
