The word feel appears to be in the Bible only one time. 

Meaning of Feel: to experience something physical or emotional: 

To feel is to know you are alive. To express these feelings can be difficult.  I find it so curious that the Bible does not speak of the feeling that can flood your heart and soul when you can feel the presence of God?  

He has provided every detail imaginable from the past to the present, to the future. And the word feel is missing? Or is it ??  I say no it is not missing it is just not written about .. I feel that it is written on the blank space of the pages...Because how can He be the beautiful example of LOVE and leave out how His LOVE makes us feel?  How can we settle and not discuss it? It seems it would make it a one-way relationship? 

There are songs everywhere about his great LOVE.  And when we hear them the feels can flood our hearts.  The room can be filled with amazing exuberance, tears of joy can stream down faces, and smiles can be seen, as arm’s stretch to the sky. 

I believe it was not discussed because that would appear boastful on His part .. And that is not who He is! He gives us this LOVE in hopes that we will LOVE Him back. He does say how much He loves us .. You see it’s up to us to express our love for Him. That is the most beautiful gift you can give Him! It is a gift that goes straight to His heart ❤.

Take that step,  feel Him 🥰 and write your love for Him on the blank spaces of your heart.  It will build a relationship of Love, Hope, and Peace.  You will find joy like you have never felt. 

Its Him, It's always HIM.  🥰

“That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he is not far from every one of us:” Acts 17:27 KJV

“You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and mind and with all your soul and with all your strength [your entire being].”

Deuteronomy 6:5 AMP

“And the LORD your God will circumcise your heart and the hearts of your descendants [that is, He will remove the desire to sin from your heart] so that you will love the LORD your God with all your heart and all your soul, so that you may live [as a recipient of His blessing].”

You Are The Reason - Calum Scott cover by Alexandra Porat

 But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings

 like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

Isaiah 40:31

Meaning of wings a modified forelimb that bears large feathers and is used for flying.

There are 58 Bible verses about wings. 

Wings, such a curious word… When I think of wings I think of birds, planes, and a beautiful open blue sky. I think of freedom… 

Have you ever wanted to fly? Have you ever wished you had wings to soar above the clouds, catch the warm breeze beneath your wings and drift with such freedom and grace, that you could see the beautiful world below?  It must be amazing and so peaceful…

Can we only dream of this type of freedom…? Or is there a way to obtain it. There are degrees, we can buy a ticket and experience flight in a plane, helicopter, or hot air balloon. And although it might be beautiful for a short ride. It may not fill a void in our soul. And we will continue to search for this kind of freedom and this peace. 

I have found the ticket that allows our hearts to feel light and our souls to take flight like never before. Here you will witness a beauty that will take your breath away. The freedom you will gain will be like nothing you have ever felt in your lifetime. 

In my short time of knowing my Heavenly Father, He has held my hand and kept me in the shadow of His wings…He has given me wings and He has been teaching me to fly…I can relate to the baby bird we see in spring, as they try to learn to fly. The mother bird flies beneath them so they do not crash and risk injury and or even death. He has been that engaged and that important to my life fight pattern. 

It is not a physical flight… It’s has been a soulful fight …It has been the most incredible journey one could travel. It is filled with amazing LOVE. Amazing care. Amazing kindness. It will open your heart, to appreciate the beauty of LIFE, The beauty of LOVE, and the beauty and importance of relationships… And your soul will soar to heights that you never dreamed possible… There you will obtain the beauty and the freedom that your soul has been searching for….. 

Its Him, It's always Him…. 

I am an open book and willing to share where you can buy your ticket to the best flight adventure you will ever have the opportunity to experience. 

The verse below found me early in my word study and has been one of my favorites… It's my safe place in our unpredictable world. 

Keep me as the apple of your eye; hide me in the shadow of your wings. Psalm 17:8

Marc Andre Fortin / The Wind Beneath My Wings 

 "I play the notes as they are written, but it is God who makes the music." 

~Johann Sebastian Bach.

There are 56 verses in the Bible that reference voices. 

The meaning of voice: the sound produced in a person's larynx and uttered through the mouth, as speech or song: Or
a particular opinion or attitude expressed. 

Hey, hey you, yes you!! Can you hear me??  Our voices have such a unique sound. Our family and friends' voices become so familiar to our ears and can be felt in our hearts...  It’s when our voice is taken away that we realize how much and how important this gift truly is... 

As a child, I had an accident and fell from our front porch banister. I split my tongue straight up the middle. I remember it was painful and a very bloody experience. My parents rushed me to the nearest Hospital. The doctors in the ER mummified my body to restrain me. They tried several times to stop the bleeding and stitch the wound. But just how do you do this to a child of 5 without putting her to sleep?? 

Well after my biting a few adult fingers and being fully traumatized they decided to put me to sleep for the procedure. When I woke up from the surgery, I was instructed I was not to talk for 8-10 weeks. My voice was gone... Looking back at this moment I realized your voice is important but when we are faced with difficulties we must improvise and find ways to continue to communicate. The game charades became my way of life during the weeks ahead. 

So again, what does this childhood memory have to do with the Bible?? Well, there are a few chosen ones that have heard our Heavenly Father's beautiful voice. However, we also know how inventive and creative our Father can be. 

When He wants our attention, He will stop at nothing to communicate with His children. You may or may not hear His audible voice. But if you still your mind and listen you can hear Him in your soul. You can hear Him in the lyrics of a song, you can see Him speak to your heart through scriptures, and the list goes on. 

So, the challenge becomes very much like a game of charades.  When he says Hey? Hey You? My child, are you listing?   Are we watching and listening? Do we make every effort to open our hearts and listen intently with our souls? His beautiful voice can be heard. 

Shhhh!!! Listen, just listen to His sweet whispers!! Can’t you hear Him? He is speaking to you. Tune in to the melodic frequency of His voice ... Your life will never be the same. It will be better than you can imagine. 

It’s Him, It’s always Him 

Your own ears will hear Him. Right behind you, a voice will say. Isaiah 30

“The voice of the Lord is over the waters; the God of glory thunders, the Lord thunders over the mighty waters. The voice of the Lord is powerful; the voice of the Lord is majestic. The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars; the Lord breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.”

You're Still God #StayHome - Philippa Hanna

Listen to the song.. and open heart...

The meaning of Stone, hard solid nonmetallic mineral matter of which rock is made, especially as a building material. “the houses are built of stone" 

Have you ever taken the time to skip a stone across a pond? Such a forgotten art … You first look for the perfect rock. Then you brush it against your clothes and dust it off. You examine it closer and see it has a few jagged edges. And you know from experience you need the rock to be smooth for the best results. It takes care and precision.

Are we much like a stone? Some look perfect from a distance. But when we look closer, we all have jagged edges from living life. But our Father knows how to smooth them for the best results. He holds us in His loving hands and takes such precision and care. 

Do not throw that first stone, embrace those jagged edges.. learn to LOVE with open arms. 

Its Him, It's always Him. 

So when they continued asking Him, He lifted Himself up and said unto them, “He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.” John 8:7

When He had finished speaking with him upon Mount Sinai, He gave Moses the two tablets of the testimony, tablets of stone, written by the finger of God. Exodus 31:18

There are 13 verses in the Bible about knowing.  

Meaning of Knowing The state of being aware or informed.  Showing or suggesting that one has knowledge or awareness that is secret or known to only a few people:  Done in full awareness or consciousness. 

To know, is it a thought process? Learning processes? Or a comfort felt within our soul. This word speaks to my soul…Because I don’t think I have ever been asked how well do you know them? But I have heard among other people of faith… You must grow to know Him?? 

What does that mean?? When we turn to the Bible, we find this is a masterpiece of information.  We find facts, we find wisdom, we find history, we find a guide to life and love.

But where do they tell us how to truly know Him?? I see and have been told so many different opinions, study the word, join a church, join a prayer group… And I respect everyone’s walk with Him. Each one of us is uniquely special to Him. What works for one is not necessarily what works for another. You have to find your own path to Him. 

I can only share my experience and heart. As many of you know I have been on a beautiful spiritual journey. The Holy Spirit touched my soul and then God held my hand and has guided me through the most amazing 25 months of my life. He held my heart and introduced Himself. I needed this introduction because I knew of Him but did not truly know Him. 

I called Him Father. 

But as my walk continued we became closer and He became Elohim. He then introduced me to His beautiful Son Jesus. As days passed, I grew to know Him better by spending time with Him. He frequented my meditations, but if the truth be known I invited Him often.  Surprisingly my meditations taught me many things. Jesus was so loving and kind. I love His humor. 

Together They introduced me to the sweet breath of God. His name is the Holy Spirit… I felt a LOVE that is beyond anything we can experience on this earth… During these months and as I grew closer. I told my Father, that I felt Father was too formal because we were spending so much time together.  I needed another name?? And I remember saying I know. I will call you Love because that is what I think of when I think of you. 

But then I thought how could I leave Jesus and the Holy Spirit out?  They are such a beautiful part of God the Father… On that day they became LOVE’s… They are my 3N1… So how do you get to know Them?? Find Them. Spend time with Them … Get close and personal. Let Them be your guide They will take you on the most amazing journey of your life….. 

Give Them the keys to your heart and let Them introduce you to a LOVE that will leave you in awe.  The first step of knowing Him is

LETTING GO !!!!!! and Feel Them in your soul.

You will fall in LOVE, and They will take it from there. 

It’s Him. It’s always HIM

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. 2 Corinthians 13:14

But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory, both now and to the day of eternity. Amen 2 Peter 3:18

The word Beacon is only referred to in the Bible 3 times.

Beacon meaning: fire or light set up in a high or prominent position as a warning, signal, or celebration. A pole (Heb. to'ren) used as a standard or ensign set on the tops of mountains as a call to the people to assemble themselves for some great national purpose the same word is rendered "mast." 

There is a darkness in our world… It can consume our hearts, it can wound our souls. It can separate us from loving others and robs us of feeling their love in return. I see so many hurting hearts, I see them dancing in this darkness…. 

It makes me feel so small, so unequipped...  I can only cry out! 

Help me shine, teach me your LOVE, help me save them. Only you, my LOVEs have this amazing light, only you can salvage the broken, only you can salvage the lost. Only you can restore the beauty in our world… 

We feel so lost.. and I hear in my soul. 

Child, you have grown to know my light. You have felt its warmth. You see the beauty. You carry the embers of my light deep within your soul. Fuel the flicker into a flame with my love. And share it with others. 

It only takes the smallest of flame to bring HOPE. It only takes the smallest of flame to bring understanding, and it only takes the smallest of flame to ignite the greatest gift of LOVE to share. Do not be afraid I promise to be with you always.  

He is my beacon of this amazing LIGHT. I see it! I feel it !! I Love it! I just want to dance in His light until the darkness flees.

Its Him. It’s always Him!

Seek Him, Find Him, LOVE Him.

Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life. John 8:12

One thousand will flee at the threat of one man; You will flee at the threat of five until you are left as a flag on a mountain top. And as a signal on a hill. Isaiah 30:17

“Flee for safety, O sons of Benjamin, From the midst of Jerusalem! Now blow a trumpet in TekoaAnd raise a signal over Beth-haccerem; For evil looks down from the north And great destruction. Jeremiah 6:1

Lift up a standard on the bare hill, Raise your voice to them, Wave the hand that they may enter the doors of the nobles Isaiah 13:2.

 The meaning of power the capacity or ability to direct or influence the behavior of others or the course of events. To move or travel with great speed or force.

The word is power is in approximately 100 verses in the Bible. 

Have you ever wondered what is the strongest force in the universe? Well the power of this word, forced me to look deeper. And it led me here.  

The strong nuclear force, also called the strong nuclear interaction, is the strongest of the four fundamental forces of nature. It's 6 thousand trillion trillion trillion (that's 39 zeroes after 6!) times stronger than the force of gravity, according to the HyperPhysics website.

Can we even fathom this kind of power? I would find it mind-blowing to even try. If this power is possible?? How can we begin to wrap our heads around the power of GOD?? OMG…His power is in everything we touch, see, and feel. 

His power has split seas, harnessed storms, and holds the vastness of our universe in place. Such majesty. Such authority. Such command. 

I stand in awe in His presence. 

He is all-powerful, all-mighty. And a force that cannot be stopped.  But I have found a tenderness, gentleness, and a LOVE that complements who He truly is.

Even though His power is THE BIGGEST BADDEST force in our universe. There is a sweetness and beauty in His power.

It’s how He controls it. He shows us this POWER under control every day. How does he not lose His patience with all of mankind??  He must be tired of all the fighting, discord, and lack of LOVE we have in our world. 

For generations, we have been guided on how to LIVE and how to LOVE. And like disobedient children, some of us still refuse to listen. He could disintegrate our world with just the wave of His hand. 

To have this much power blows our minds, but what I find even more awe-inspiring is His ability to control and harness this majestic power. I think it’s due to His ability to LOVE us so deeply, His ability to look past the pain we cause Him and see the beauty of His children. 

This does not diminish the greatness He possesses. It shows us a tenderness, It shows us forgiveness, It shows us a POWER of LOVE that is far beyond words. It shows us what is waiting for those who LOVE HIM.   

OMG, I am at a loss for words…

It’s HIM, It’s always HIM  

Seek Him. Find Him. Love Him.

But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore, I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 

2 Corinthians 12:9 

Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible. Matthew 19:26 

 For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So, they are without excuse. Romans 1:20 

And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Matthew 28:18.
