If we find ourselves with a desire that nothing in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that we were made for another world.

Meaning of explain: to make (an idea, situation, or problem) clear to someone by describing it in more detail or revealing relevant facts or ideas.

This word came to my mind as I sat in the dark just thinking about my journey … It’s been five years and so many spiritual things have happened… Many seem so hard to explain… But are they hard to explain or just hard for many to understand? 

When this Journey started, I had the excitement of an unbridled child. And wanted to share His wonder with anyone who would listen. Some out of love or politeness listened. Some ran… but very few stayed the course…  Very few wanted to be set apart… 

Are we bolded enough to be set apart?  Do we care too much about what others will think? When we lay our heads down at the end of the day are we pleased with ourselves, or do we have that nagging feeling… of …I could have done more, I know I can do better? 

To put it in plain words. He found me on a lonely road in Tennessee… There I saw His brilliant light and felt His amazing love. This love is a love that is difficult to explain. It is beyond this world. It has the power to take your breath away in seconds and change your life in the blink of an eye… 

I could go on and on and explain the many nuggets I have gathered along my journey. But until you experience Him for yourself. You may never fully understand. 

I pray my sharing and explaining taps into your curious soul. He is the only one that holds the keys to our lives…

Find Him, pour out your heart, and explain your feelings and thoughts to Him. He is the most understanding, nonjudgmental soul you will ever encounter. And if that is not enough. Know that He loves you and values you more than you can ever imagine…

It’s Him, It will always be Him!!

Be Bold. Be loved… Be His!!! 

Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. John 14:6

Meaning of offend; cause to feel upset, annoyed, or resentful…

We located 44 verses that deal with this annoying word “offend”

We have kicked this word around for weeks. And we have the bruises to prove it.  The first thought that came to mind is one that every child has said at one time or another… “Sticks and stones may break my bones but words can never hurt me!” Oh but contrary, words, and actions do create damage … Damage that goes far deeper than any physical pain. 

Our world needs help…I see so many people getting offended for so many things both small and large.. 

Have we become so callous that we no longer care? Or have we become so self-centered that we now wear our feelings on our sleeves??? 

Sometimes we need to take a breath and think before we strike out and leave the damaging winds in the wake of our words and or actions…

So how can we bring about this change?? How can we bring peace and understanding into our lives???  The only answer I have is let's study the man who showed us how to love when offended? How did He demonstrate this unshakable power and strength when challenged by hate and ridicule?  

Again I can only share my thoughts… I do feel He has this humble confidence in knowing who He is… He did not have to flex His muscles to prove a point… He was true to His convictions and He knew that diminishing His opponent's self-worth was more damaging than just loving them… 

That is what I love about Him. He loves without judgment. Even when we are wrong. He wears the armor of His Heavenly Father, And that my friend makes Him unoffendable! 

Let’s study the master and become more like Him.. Be confident in who you are. Sometimes proving a point is not worth your salvation or peace. Wear your Heavenly Father's Amor.. and strike out in LOVE… I hope you agree our world needs more love and fewer people being hurt by undesirable words and or actions.  

Be the child He knows you can be!!! Be more like Him!! 

It’s Him. It’s always Him!!!!

Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them. Psalms 119:165

I AM THEY - Scars (Official Music Video)

Whether we are filled with joy or grief, our angels are close to us, speaking to our hearts of God's love. - Eileen Elias Freeman

Meaning of angel, a spiritual being superior to humans in power and intelligence especially,one in the lowest rank in the celestial hierarchy. 

The word angel is in the Bible (108 times in the Old Testament and 177 times in the New Testament).

Angel is such a spiritual word. Just to utter the angelic word brings beauty and comfort to our souls… But who, and what is this celestial being.  What makes them so uniquely special? Is our view of them correct? Through the ages, many artists, prophets, and scholars have given us their thoughts and views of who they are and what they look like.  Many movies depict these amazing celestial beings as intermediaries between God (or Heaven) and humanity... They possess God-given supernatural abilities.  

So what is their role? Do we pray to them? Do they interact with souls on earth? Have we seen them? Have we felt their presence? Have they helped us in times of need? Do they help souls transition from earth to Heaven? 

So many questions? Will we ever truly know all the answers? I don’t believe it is humanly possible to know the answers to many of our questions. 

The Bible is a written masterpiece and a wealth of information. And we can study every word, every book, every passage. But there will always be a mystery of the unknown. The unknown is God's beauty. It’s His attraction. It's His magnetic pull on our curious souls. 

As this pull begins to open our hearts and our thoughts to the possibilities of a greater existence our Faith begins to strengthen. We begin to read between the lines and with the assistance of the Holy Spirit, our spiritual mind is open to see with a greater understanding. 

God’s word teaches us of an army of angels. They worship their Creator. They sing His praises. They take on many forms from angelic to human and possibly more? Their purpose is to intercede when God needs a message not only to be heard but to be taken seriously. 

In my spiritual journey, I had an event that I say, it was a message from an angel. I will attempt to summarize the event. 

I had a car accident. I ran into the back of a vehicle. As we stood waiting for the police. I shared my story about my Holy Spirit encounter and the LOVE I felt on that day with the gentleman that was driving the car that I had damaged. And there in the middle of traffic, the gentleman hugged me tightly and whispered in my ear to never stop telling my story we have to get the non-believers. 

It’s a moment in time that I felt it in my soul that it was a message from God. It's one I will always remember with a warm heart, that subtle whisper in my ear from God’s special messenger.  I do believe he was my angel that cold winter night and God knew I would listen. 

It's Him, It's always Him. 

As the cold of snow in the time of harvest, [so is] a faithful messenger to them that send him: for he refresheth the soul of his masters. Proverbs 25:13

Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth. Luke 15:10 KJV

The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show to His bond-servants, the things which must soon take place; and He sent and communicated it by His angel to His bond-servant John, Revelation 1:1

Todays Word SINNER - 

Podcast SINNER

You clicked on this blog for a good reason. And if you want to know Jesus, I invite you to say these words with me. I know I am a sinner. I believe in my heart. You are the son of God who died on the cross from my sins, and you were resurrected from the dead. Thank you for paying the price for my sins. Forgive me and make me a new person Cleanse me of my sins with your blood and wash me in the water of your words and coming to my heart. I commit my life to you today, and I receive you as my Lord, my savior, and my king. I pray this to God, my heavenly father, and your precious name, Yeshua. Amen.

In you I found paradise.

Paradise is there such a place? How do we find it? Can we find this destination on our faithful GPS?? I believe a paradise is a place that begs our imagination to get in touch with our hearts and soul…

There are many earthly locations that boast they are paradise found… and yes there are many wonders that God Himself has created in our world…Are they just a glimpse of what is to come? In the beginning, He created a place called Paradise for man… Unfortunately, man did not heed the importance of His words... and they fell from Grace. 

However, our loving Father never gave up. He created beauty worldwide for His future children to experience that touch of Heaven giving us that yearning in our hearts for more… 

I have traveled to many of His wonders but the paradise I am chasing is not of this world… It is far beyond all the stars in Heaven… It has been described in the Bible, and such beauty is beyond our human understanding… 

It states this in Revelation 21:21 “And the twelve gates were twelve pearls, each of the gates made of a single pearl, and the street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass. 

Even given this description, I believe this heavenly paradise is not seen with our eyes … it’s felt with our hearts and soul… 

Jesus spoke of its existence many times… He has promised us that we will be with Him in this beautiful place for Eternity.  

I do believe that this physical location will not be as important as we think. 

I believe that being in Elohim’s presence… is better than any paradise that we could ever envision… because when we feel His overwhelming presence our surroundings will not matter... 

To be in communion with Elohim is a Heavenly experience… 

Six years ago I felt a love that has left me forever changed… I believe that what I felt that day was only a fragment of what will come… To be Engulfed in His love, His peace, and His beauty is indeed Paradise found!! 

It's Him, It will always be HIM!!!

Jesus answered him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.” Luke 23:43 

In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also” John 14:2 -3

"Therefore say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts, “Return to Me,” declares the Lord of hosts, “that I may return to you,” says the Lord of hosts.  Zechariah 1:3
 

Meaning of drought, a prolonged period of abnormally low rainfall, leading to a shortage of water. 

We located approximately 41 verses the refers to the word drought.

Have you ever been so thirsty that nothing seems to satisfy your thirst?? I cannot fathom the thought of how some countries suffer for lack of water...  We are a spoiled lot... Many take this gift of water for granted... 

When we examine a drought, we can see the life being drained. Our earth will become so dry it will literally crack open... and life will wither away... Layers of dirt can be carried away with the wind... 

There are many droughts we could study in the Bible. But my heart landed on spiritual drought.  What is the cause? How do we quench our thirst? If we do not find that pure water source, can we shrivel up and spiritual die?? 

I can only speak from my heart. The cause of a spiritual drought is LIFE.  Life happens ... There are many things in this life that will distract us and pull us away from what should really matter... 

I have found that we can quench our thirst by immersing ourselves in the living water Himself... Never stop loving Him. Speaking to Him and worshiping His very existence. Fill yourself with His word... It will wash your soul... and yes our soul can get parched and shrivel up. It will lay dormant and not be able to breathe... and sadly their light source will become dim.

I know this firsthand. I was going through the motions of living a busy life. I was outwardly happy... But even without my realizing it... 

My soul had become dormant and unresponsive. I could not feel her presence.  And without my calling out or even knowing Him. The Holy Spirit sensed that my soul had lost her way. But then one unexplainable day in May of 2017 without warning He doused me with a healthy dose of living water 💦...  My thirsty soul became fully immersed in this amazing beautiful sparkling water...It took my breath away.  And for a moment my soul became bewildered and confused...But as she felt this warm and gentle love.The fog began to lift..

It was at that moment she realized that it was Him... She had forgotten her first LOVE.. And how He made her feel.  As He whispered gentle words of love.. She began to hear the rhythmic beating of her own heart.  She was excited about the newfound freedom they shared. With each new passing day He began to teach her about His love and life... and the wonders that He created. She listened with an open heart and her spirit became stronger and she felt more alive than she had felt in a very long time. Joy filled her heart.  Peace and tranquily engulfed her very senses whenever He was near... She felt safe in the shadow of His wings. I will admit.... 

Somewhere during this journey of recovery... This once dormant soul fell in love with her rescuer!  I loving call Him My Savior. 

It’s Him, It’s always Him

I wish I could bottle this living water and give it away to every living soul...But this water can not be contained... It runs free and My Savior holds the key... 

One who lives in the shelter of the Most High will stay in the shadow of the Almighty. Psalms 91

I waited patiently for the LORD; he turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand.” All of us go through times of spiritual drought. Psalm 40:1-2

Just a simple gift from Him.. That He made with His loving hands ❤️ Do we stop to appreciate the smallest of gifts or are they overlooked? 🤔

The meaning of constant - a situation or state of affairs that does not change...  

The word constant is in the Bible approximately 38 times.  

If we can count on anything in our world we can count on that things are going to change... In the last year, we have definitely experienced a world of constant change... Some exciting and new... some scary... some have left us feeling that heartfelt pain... 

If I have learned anything during my journey.  I have learned, that although I have had to endure many changes ... I have been blessed with heavenly peace. I have felt a love that has never wavered... And I have learned to deeply trust my Creator... 

He has laughed with me not at me as I stumbled through life... He picked me up when I have fallen on my face... He has wiped away my tears... He stood by me when no one else was available... He has held my heart in His loving hands... Especially when other humans have wounded my soul with their doubt and cruel behavior... Even when they did not take the time to understand my journey... many ran ... and many new faces came... 

Changes in me and my surroundings were happening faster than my mind could even understand ... But as I drew closer to Him I found solace, I discovered a love like no other... I found the most amazing soul!!!  He has been my constant !! My shining star in my darkest hour... 

I found my first love... 

Somewhere during this amazing adventure of finding myself, I fell in love with all the facets of Him... He is my constant, my heart, and my soul!!! It's because of Him my life will never be the same...

So while we experience life and all the wonderful things we encounter and the pain we must endure. Please know that we have a beautiful gift of that constant shining star by our side... He will never, never waiver... His love is a beyond words gift for eternity.

He is the constant of my heart and the lover of my soul... for this life and beyond...

It’s Him! It's always Him!!! 

I can not express my gratitude for Him enough... He is as important as the very air I breathe!!  My 3N1... are constantly on my mind ... and forever in my heart.. the beauty and secret of Him is .... that He is not mine alone. His heart belongs to whoever makes the time to search for Him. ❤ 

Psalm 40:11

Lord, do not withhold Your compassion from me; Your constant love and truth will always guard me.

Isaiah 26:3

“You will keep in perfect and constant peace the one whose mind is steadfast [that is, committed and focused on You—in both inclination and character],Because he trusts and takes refuge in You [with hope and confident expectation]

1 Peter 4:8

Above all, keep your love for one another constant, because love covers a large number of sins.

And I Love You So ... Helen Reddy

The Word Became Flesh (John 1)

When two hearts become one, it cannot be undone. A promise has been made and cannot be broken or swayed. For this love will last an eternity and will not fade. Charlene M. Martin - 

Meaning of everlasting lasting or enduring through all time: eternal. 2a (1): continuing for a long time or indefinitely. (2): having or being flowers or foliage that retain form or color for a long time when dried.

There are approximately 32 verses in the Bible that refer to the word everlasting.

When we look at the word everlasting? What does that truly mean… 

I find it difficult to quantify that kind of time and space with our human mind. We say we will love you forever. We say until the end of time. We all have heard of this promise of eternity. 

But how do we understand this description of time? When we are a society of instant… Drive-thru fast food.  Microwavable. Swipe your card and go… All the technology of our world trains us to want this immediate gratification. Until we speak of death… All of a sudden, our value of time comes to a screeching halt. We began to reflect on what and who is really important in our lives.  And we begin to see the true richness and value of the word eternity and everlasting. 

It is then that we began to search our souls for answers. And as we try to understand this time table. Our soul enlightens us to the answers.

But I feel as long as we are in our earthly bodies we will never truly understand the dynamics and full beauty of this word our Creator so graciously put into His heavenly plan.  

So what is the secret? How do get a better understanding? In my opinion, it's time… How we value our time, it’s who we spend our precious time with. It's slowing down and truly seeing what is in front of you. It’s making memories with those you love.

So, ask yourself, what do you truly value? Remember there are no earthly possessions that will last for eternity.  

I can only share, my thoughts. Love those God has blessed you to have in your life.  Quiet your mind and listen with your heart. Search until you find His love. It is a love greater than anything in our world. It comes with wisdom, beauty, and His promise of eternity. It's a love that will carry us through this life. 

I ask you who would not want to travel to an amazing destination called paradise? Who would want this indescribable love? Who would not enjoy not punching a clock?  Who would not like to live without a calendar to measure time? Everlasting eternity with our Creator sounds rich to me. The only cost is to love Him with all your heart, all your mind, and all your soul!!!

To doubt His word would be to doubt our very existence. 

It's Him it's always Him… 

I hope to see you there !! 

Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. Psalms 24:9

For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting, and his truth endureth to all generations Psalms 100.5

Jesus loves me with everlasting love | Christian Song

“My soul is full of longing for the secret of the sea. And the heart of the great ocean sends a thrilling pulse through me.” — Henry Wadsworth Longfellow -

Meaning of water: a colorless, transparent, odorless liquid that forms the seas, lakes, rivers, and rain and is the basis of the fluids of living organisms.

Water popularly represents life. It can be associated with birth, fertility, and refreshment. ... Christians are baptized with or in water, symbolizing a purification of the soul, and admission into the faith.

Water has mentioned a total of 722 times in the Bible, more often than faith, hope, prayer, and worship. That's an amazing fact!! 

What is this precious resource? Unfortunately, there are many places in the world that struggle with having the ability to have this cool, clear.. thirst-quenching liquid. Many of us take it for granted until we are deprived of this gift. It is estimated that a person can survive without water for about 3 days. 

Did you know that approximately 60% of the human adult body is water?According to H.H. Mitchell, Journal of Biological Chemistry 158, the brain and heart are composed of 73% water, and the lungs are about 83% water. The skin contains 64% water, muscles and kidneys are 79%, and even the bones are watery: 31%.

I find it quite interesting that we must rely on water to survive. It’s a heavenly life source and part of His master plan…  Our body’s chemistry is reliant on the natural water that God created for survival? And our soul"s life is reliant on Him for spiritual survival. Our body's timeline on this earth is short-lived but our soul remains timeless. It only makes sense that He would refer to himself as the “living water.” 

 “If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked Him and He would have given you living water.”

 (John 4:10). 

I can only share my thoughts from a spiritual perspective. I do believe many people are living with a spiritual drought that can last for months, years or it can eventually cause them pain and possibly cause spiritual separation from our Creator.  Some squander this precious gift. Some occasionally stop by to wet their feet. While others jump in and allow Him to immerse them completely. 

In the scripture below Jesus shares that we must be born out of water and spirit. 

Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. John 3:5

So let’s not drown in the facts, and let’s try to simplify this if not in my mind alone. When our bodies lack this precious life source within approximately 3 days. Our lips become dry, our skin loses its color, our major organs will begin to shut down and our body's life as we know it could end. 

Lack of living water to the soul. The soul will begin by hiding. Sadness and darkness will consume its very existence. This drought will choke out the possibility of quenching its thirst and soon it will wither and be lost for eternity!!! 

Our souls are drawn to this “Living Water” by His love, His beauty, and His grace. It fills our hearts to the point we crave Him because our souls inordinately desires Him. It knows that it’s the only chance of surviving. It knows it is the only way to grow into a beautiful existence with the one who gives us life on all levels... Its our souls goal to one day return to its life source. It’s amazing how intricate and beautifully designed we all are. He is such a mastermind. He gives life. He gives us the freedom to live it. But He planted a desire in our souls to return to Him. It's much like a migration of the soul. And that my friend is an amazing love story. 

It’s Him, It’s always Him! 

And I am always thirsty for more!! 

Genesis 1:1-3 “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was formless and empty, and darkness covered the deep waters. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters. 

Revelation 14:7 Worship him who made the heavens, the earth, the sea, and all the springs of water.”

Genesis 1:7 “So God made the vault and separated the water under the vault from the water above it. And it was so.”
