Snow

The first snow is like the first love. Lara Biyuts

Meaning of snow in the Bible It is a symbol of purity and cleanness but more importantly an example of transformation so we might reflect God in our lives. Scripture referencing snow is found in some of the most beautiful passages of the Bible. And the message it brings should amaze us.

 

The word "snow" is in the King James Version of the Bible 24 times. It is in 24 verses. 

 

I awoke to it’s dazzling beauty. It’s marvel. It’s purity ... Snow so white, so fresh and new... Each beautiful snowflake carved so detailed. So uniquely different... No two are alike.

 

How does our Creator do it? I am amazed at His artistry.  His vision.. Nothing is left to chance.. Every molecule on this earth has a delicate purpose.

 

The Bible uses the word snow as a descriptive word to point us to our Creator, His Son, and His very breath..

 

As I turn the pages of the Bible. My mind drifted to this very popular nursery rhyme. And I had an oh my goodness moment.. A light went off in my head, and made me smile.. “Mary had a little lamb His fleece was white as SNOW.”

 

He was blameless. Spotless and pure .. A beautiful gift from His Mother Mary and God to all mankind.. I will now recite that nursery rhyme to my grandchildren with a fresh new perspective. 

 

As those nursery rhyme words rolled off my tongue. I could see Him.  I see His beauty.. His brightness.  His purity. His wonder nothing else compares. He is uniquely different from all the Gifts from heaven.. 

 

I will never see a snowflake without seeing Him in my mind.. And as I see Him and this beautiful white wonder, I have the urge to fall into that beautiful soft place He created just to remind me. “He is my soft place to fall in the midst of any challenge. “ 

 

And as I fall into the snow I will  began to move my arms and legs back and forth ... Just like a bird that has found a new found freedom...Saying I am here! I am here! Count me in !!  This is my gift to you ! This my snow angel, and it is calling you ! I am excited to feel you so close ... and if I close my eyes I can see your beautiful face!!! 

 

Snow it’s a beautiful gift to connect us to heaven with love and purity. It even reminds us of His very breath as we can now see the cold air as it escapes from our own lips. We can see and feel His very presence as His breath kisses our soul..

 

It’s you LOVEs!! It’s always been you!!! 

 

“Hast thou entered into the treasures of the snow? or hast thou seen the treasures of the hail, Which I have reserved against the time of trouble, against the day of battle and war?”Job 38:22-23 KJV

The Child




His face was sculpted by God, for no mere mortal could have created such beauty. -Lori

As we put away the last of our Christmas decorations and, thoughts of the baby in the manger seem to fade… Do we give much thought to what His life was like? It seems we celebrate His birth and mourn His death. But I want to know more. What happened between His birth and when He stepped into the role of our Messiah? It seems these thoughts have been rumbling in my mind for a while… And today they landed in my heart…. Was He a happy child? Was He carefree and kind??? When did He know how His life would end on earth??? Did He know He would suffer to the extreme at the hands of another? Did our love fail Him? He must have known, or why would He have uttered these words??? “Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done.” What a heavy burden to carry?? As I meditated on these thoughts, my mind went here!!
Meditation
I settled down listening to Jackie Baker’s; I will trust you…. My breathing became rhythmic and relaxed… I started drifting into the sweet spot of unconsciousness but was not yet asleep. As this story came to light, I was startled by a young boy. He had His back to me and turned around abruptly, and when I saw His face, I knew it was Him… He was approximately eight years old. His hair was sandy blonde, short, and framed His beautiful angelic face… His eyes were a lovely shade of grayish blue. His smile melts my hea rt.
I was an adult … I offered Him my hand and said let’s have some fun… We began walking, and I told Him I was sorry that we robbed Him of His childhood… I then squatted down as one would when speaking to a child… I softly said these words. Please tell your Father that I love Him!!! And as I brushed His hair back from His face, I looked into His beautiful eyes and told Him, I love you too!!! We hugged tightly. It was a hug like a loving parent would hug their child… There is such a sweet, tender bond that exists in this type of relationship… This meditation brought physical tears as I escaped back in time with Him…
How did this sweet, loving child become the man who has changed my life!!
It’s Him. It’s always Him!
And as the meditation ended, I lingered in His presence. I continued listening to the music as my mind re-lived the images that had just become alive in my mind.
Try as I might, my hands will never capture what my soul can see…and I am undone…

Beseech


 


“But by my love and hope, I beseech you: do not throw away the hero in your soul! Hold holy your highest hope!”-  Friedrich Hietzsche

 

The meaning of beseech is to make an urgent appeal. 

 

We located 36 verses in the Bible that use the word beseech... 

 

What a difficult word to wrap my head around!! This word originated from Middle English... I am so puzzled where are these words coming from??? Is He trying to be funny? Is He trying to make me stretch my vocabulary? Did I use these words long ago?  I must seek His help to gain a better understanding of what He wants of me.

 

Please, Elohim, I beseech your help in understanding why you dropped this curious word into my mind this evening. 

 

I did discover that out of thirty-six times, the word beseech is used in the Old Testament, but all but six are used to address God. This beseeching is an urgent request and a call for action on His part. A prayer is spoken in the inhalation of Oh, dear God. A prayer of longing and desperation.

 

I now have a better understanding... Because I have been in that very state of mind... I desperately long for His beautiful presence. There have been times that I have felt His presence so strong that I felt Him within the depths of my soul... I will confess it’s so easy to get deeply lost within Him... He is all-consuming!!  

 

I have been so lost and consumed that I found myself engulfed in a state of His heavenly bliss… It’s the most incredible, heartfelt moment when our soul can speak to Him without uttering a single word... His love is not of this world and is so difficult to explain.  I just know when I am in His presence, I am whisked away to a spiritual place of complete surrender!!   It’s there I find myself humbly begging Him to stay!!! 

 

Elohim, I beseech you to just linger here with me for a while… Open my heart and never stop whispering your love song to my soul!!!

 

It's Him! It's always Him, and I am undone!! 

 

Then called I upon the name of the LORD; O LORD, I beseech thee, deliver my soul. Psalms 116:4

Sire



               Soul of the universe,Sire, God, Creator, Lord, I believe in Thee!!!


The meaning of sire: a respectful form of address for someone of high social status, especially a king.

 

I only located one instance where the word sire is written in the Bible...

 

This word is so unusual that I still do not understand why my heart whispered it so softly this morning... 

 

The sun had not broken the morning sky. But there seems to be a stirring in my soul at such an odd hour... The last few mornings have placed me in a state of quiet thought and prayer at 3 am. And as I fall into this state of hypnagogic slumber, the story seems to unfold.  It's that transitional stage between wakefulness and sleep in which sensory perceptions can be experienced. 

 

My soulful heart seems to pick this time to speak to my Creator, my first love... My 3N1.

 

It's there I find a blissful state of love, peace, and serenity... It's there I find the King of my heart.  The only King that can appear at will in my dreams... He fills the room with His presence... And as I am pulled into His world, time as we know it seems to stand still. Many words of love and adoration are shared... I come to Him with my deepest thoughts, emotions and desires. His response is always so gentle and kind... He knows me better than I know myself... There is no other King that holds such status in my mind, heart, and soul... I humbly bow at His feet and surrender to His will, and if you listen closely, you can hear my soul whisper Sire, it's you!!! It's always been you!!!

 

He is my King of Kings!! And the lover of my soul... 

 

It's Him! It’s always Him! 


“They will wage war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will triumph over them because he is Lord of lords and King of kings—and with him will be his called, chosen and faithful followers” (Revelation 17:14). 

 

“On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written: King of kings and Lord of lords” (Revelation 19:16).

 

The woman saith to him, Sire, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw. John 4:15-25

Willing


Will you ask God to bring you to the place where you're willing to be willing? - Johnny Hunt...

 

Meaning of willing ready, eager, or prepared to do something.

 

We located thirty verses in the Bible that point us to the word willing. 

 

When I began to search my heart and ask am I willing … My thought drifted here. Am I a willing messenger for Christ? Do I share His love with anyone that comes within six-foot proximity of my personal space? If we have learned anything from Covid six feet apart seemed the magical number… Not really… There was more… always more to do…. more to share… 

 

How much is enough?? Are we willing to listen? Are we willing to act? Just how much are we willing to sacrifice? It seems so simple. Yet so difficult to accomplish… When we deal with people, we seem to have too many choices? So many variables?

 

How can we become more? How do we as messengers know if our message falls into willing hearts? As I tried to unravel this word it seems that my heart got in the way and pointed my soul to a love that was willing…Willing to give me His all… Everything!! To the very last drop of His own blood. His last dying breath… He was willing to act…He was willing to love me for who I am. He was willing to sacrifice everything for my future, my love, and my heart... 

 

I will admit He invaded my personal space… But was it truly an invasion? Or did I willingly surrender my heart?? At first, I did not understand the magnitude of His greatness?? I did not understand the depth of His love…  Growing to know Him has made His sacrifice personal… And to think He willingly went to that degree for me… How can I match that kind of love…? Many say that it’s impossible!! 


 I am finding that we are so limited in our earthly bodies… But our soul can move our heart in ways we do not truly understand… Can we soulfully love Him deeper than anyone that walks upon this earth? Spiritually speaking, I am so willing to try…  Are you willing to join me? 

It does take commitment and a willing heart… But the rewards are heavenly…

 

It's Him. It's always Him… 

 

And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. Deuteronomy 6:5

No one has taken it away from Me, but I lay it down on My own initiative. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This commandment I received from My Father.” John 10:18

Then the people rejoiced because they had given willingly, for with a whole heart, they had offered freely to the Lord. David, the king, also rejoiced greatly. 1 Chronicles 29:9 ESV

Take from among you a contribution to the Lord. Whoever is of a generous heart, let him bring the Lord's contribution: gold, silver, and bronze; Exodus 35:5

Tug


"What we do in life echoes in eternity." The Gladiator

 

Meaning of tug: pull (something) hard or suddenly.

 

I cannot locate how many times the word tug appears in the Bible.  because I feel this yearning in my soul to move on... I was fast asleep. But felt this gentle tug at 3:33 am. 

 

What is this tugging in my heart I feel so deeply? What is the whisper I hear in my soul? What is this magnetic pull that takes me to places I could only dream of??  

 

Is this a heavenly call that we are waiting for?? Is this a spiritual connection that has been put into play since God breathed His breath into my lungs at birth???

 

Do we feel His gentle tug within guiding His us home?? Is this our purpose? Our destiny?  

 

If the Holy Spirit dwells within us. Then it is possible that this tug we feel is the Holy Spirit trying to pull the pieces of the much larger plan together? Are we such a small fraction of God's greater puzzle?? ... 

 

So many questions? I feel like a child, so small, so inquisitive, so in love with this wonderous spiritual presence of my God.  My Heavenly Father, my beautiful Creator. In the grand scheme of His amazing creations, I am just a spec in His eye. But He makes me feel like I am the most critical moment of His day? How does He do this? I know I am not alone. How does He give so many of His children His undivided attention?? I must say He still wows me...

 

Do you feel Him in your soul? Do feel His gentle tug in your heart? Do you hear His whisper echoing in your mind??? 

 

Are you awake? Have you been drawn into Him? Or is the human element in you so strong that you are playing tug-war with your soul... I do believe as humans we think surrendering is a weakness. 

 

But I ask you how we can think that it is up to us to surrender?  When we already belong to Him.  It's only our mind surrendering to our soul and opening our hearts to a spiritual world of His love. 

 

I actually love when He tugs at my heart and soul.  I do not care about the day or the time... 

 

My mind willingly surrenders. 

 

Because I have experienced His love, and it is not of this world... He truly cannot be described in any earthly language...  

 

He is a spiritual relationship, intimate, loving, and kind. 

 

As I studied the word “tug” I was drawn to this “tug of war” but as I wrote this word tug it became apparent to me that with God it became a “tug of love” 

 

And again, He walked me into a learning experience... Tug of love already exists it means.

 

1. A dispute over custody of a child or children.

 

It's His war against the evil one. To gain full custody of His children...   

 

It's Him!  It will always be Him.


I pray you to feel His tug. I pray you to wake up! I pray you to surrender because your life will never be the same... 

 

The Lord is my protector; he is my strong fortress. My God is my protection, and with him I am safe. He protects me like a shield; he defends me and keeps me safe. Psalms 18:2 

 

You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact, the Spirit of God dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him. Romans 8:9

Fragile



The most fragile hearts carry the deepest thinking souls...(lg) 


Meaning of fragile easily broken or damaged.

 

The word fragile only appears three times in the Bible... 

 

When I think of the word fragile my mind sees a gentle beautiful rose... how delicate each rose petal seems. She is much like our life... beautiful and delicate and as precious as the dew that gently kisses her each new day. 

 

Do we value this gift of life? Do we value each new day?  Do we value each soul that touches our life? Do we value the time spent with others? Do we value our Creator, or do we robotically take all things in our world for granted?? Life is fragile. Time is a fragile gift... How we spend and share our time can change how we value the things that surround us each new day...

 

If there is one thing, I have learned during this amazing journey is that I am fragile.  Life, Love, and time are all fragile!!! 

 

I had this idea in my head that I was in control!  I felt I was a fairly strong, confident human. 

 

But when God stripped me down to the rawness of who I truly was ... I became like a fragile infant in His caring hands...It was a scary but beautiful time of discovery ... I had to face who I had become... 

 

As He gently unraveled my mind, my body, and soul...  I remember saying ... 

 

I felt like I was coming apart at the seams... My heart felt like it was being circumcised... My heart became fragile, and it did bleed... I won’t lie it was sometimes a painful process...

 

But as He began to peel the layers of life away... My once bound soul began to breathe... My heart began to sing a new song... and Life seemed to burst into amazing living colors ...

 

It sounds strange, but I was not even aware that I was in this state of robotic living ... 

 

Until one day ... I met this amazing living loving God... He is my Knight in shining armor!!!  My Savior, My heart ... 

 

He gently held me as I spiritually became undone ... He wiped the many tears that fell ... and I was drawn into His heart as He gently whispered words of love to my soul...

 

He methodical began to teach me new ways to see the beauty of life...and I felt a love that is not of this world... and like the famous nursery rhyme Humpy Dumpty He began to put me together again... He lifted the fog and I could finally see... 

 

I now realize in my robotic state I was missing so much. I had become lost in life. My strength was a cloak that I adorned before others... So they could not see my internal fragile state... 

 

I found being in that vulnerable fragile state was not as bad as I once thought... I did learn, If I run to Him, and allow Him to hold me in His loving hands ... He is all I need… He is all I need to face each beautiful new day... 


He has realigned my heart and what I value most... Life... Love... Time & Relationships...

 

I am still a work in progress ...

 

He has given me a beautiful irreplaceable gift!!! 

 

It’s Him, It’s always Him!! 


My Knight. My Love... My strength!!! With Him all things are possible!!! He WOWs me.

 

“I leave the gift of peace with you—my peace. Not the kind of fragile peace given by the world, but my perfect peace. Don’t yield to fear or be troubled in your hearts—instead, be courageous! John 14:27

Sold



Judas sold his soul for thirty pieces of silver…. I wonder, what is the price for a soul these days??


Meaning of sold (sell) Transferring the property of a thing for a price or equivalent in money.


We located 101 verses that speak to the word sold.

 

As we embark on this Christmas Season the word sold came to my mind as I sat in my car in front of a group of retail stores...I sat there and just people watched... Many were bustling around, there seemed to be great excitement in the air..  I am not sure if the pace seemed fast because of excitement of the holiday or perhaps it was due to the cold weather... Many were taking great care in picking out the most beautiful tree on the lot. And soon a salesperson allowed the money to exchange hands and just like that the tree was sold....   

 

With Christmas Music playing softly on my car radio,  my mind soon drifted here.. This is the most amazing time of year... I for personal reasons love it!!! Because of a personal gift I received from my Creator!!  

 

But then I thought it is so sad that so many people have bought into the commercialism of such a significant day... And my eyes welled up with tears and my heart became heavy.  

 

So how and when did we lose our grip on what Christmas Day is truly about?? 

 

I feel it is a "Black Friday Day" when our main goal is to scurry into a store pick out a gift for our families and friends without asking ourselves if we are sold out to the Birthday Boy Himself?? What are we giving Him this year??  Have we bought into the most amazing LOVE we could ever receive??  It is no secret that we have already been bought for a price!! It is His priceless gift to all mankind... 

 

Have you asked Him, What do You want for your Birthday??? 

Or is He even on your shopping list?? Stop and think about that for just a moment? Only you and your heart know the answer... I say...

 

Celebrate Him this Christmas by giving Him your LOVE... It truly is what He desires most!!  Place Him at the top of your Christmas list today and forevermore. 

 

1.        Jesus 

 

It's Him! It’s always Him!!! 

 

Merry CHRISTmas... I pray you too become sold out for Jesus. It truly is where our treasure of life and love begins... 

 

 “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Matthew 6:19 -21ESV
