Meaning of delicate easily broken or damaged; fragile. 

The word delicate is referenced in 62 verses in the Bible.

The word delicate came to mind as soft as a whisper. It penetrated my heart and lingered on my mind with a scent of love. It moved like a raindrop on a window pain.. it can be heard in a newborn baby's cry. 

Our skin can feel the delicate breeze against our skin. 

Our lives are a sweet delicate gift from our Heavenly Father.  

His romance moves our souls to bloom like a delicate flower. His voice can come as a faint whisper or a roaring thunder. He loves us so much He gave us His delicate baby boy. 

This beautiful life.. grew into an amazing man that has been loved and cherished by many. But there were those that scoffed and wounded His body and soul. He was such an amazing man that He continues to offer love and forgiveness to anyone who may have wounded His heart. He offers anyone who craves that delicate love, a beautiful relationship. He speaks to our delicate hearts words of love. 

His presence leaves that scent of love that can lift you to a higher realm of existence.  This love will penetrate your heart and linger for eternity.. He comes as soft and delicate as a breeze against our skin. Just one drop of His blood can move mountains.. He is delicate... in His touch but He is a mighty warrior. 

How does He know how to give us what we need? How is it that He can touch my heart so tenderly and fight your battle and yet see and hear that delicate baby’s cry all the same time? Who can be everything to everyone? How does He keep it straight?  I do know there is strength in numbers and when you combine the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit there is nothing that can not be accomplished.  Together They radiate a beautiful spiritual love that can boggle the mind. They are a force of power that can not be stopped.. 

I for one search for Them daily. As I meditated today I felt Their delicate whisper across my skin. My heart leapt as His presence was felt in my soul. We can see their mighty power as they work wonders in our lives. We just need to be open to receive this beautiful delicate gift of LOVE. We are will always be a delicate part of Him. 

It’s Him. it’s always Him

Revelation 21:1-27 

Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. 

Agape is a term referring to love, "the highest form of love, charity" and "the love of God for man and of man for God". 

Skin the thin layer of tissue forming the natural outer covering of the body of a person or animal:

There are 29 verses in the Bible about skin. 

Do we ever just think of skin? What is it? What is it’s purpose?? Did you know that our skin is made up of 60 percent water 💦...

When this curious word came to us to study? I thought Skin what an odd thing to study when this is a Bible word study.  

And then my mind went in many different directions. Skin is amazing as it protects and holds all things together for a greater purpose.. human life.

I thought of the ones who have suffered from skin issues. In Biblical times many suffered from a skin diseased know as leprosy they were cast away and treated unkindly?  It is written Jesus healed them from their own internal prison.  

Unfortunately, there are times even today. That some treat others as though they have this dreaded illness. Which brings such heartfelt pain.

I do believe skin is skin it may carry different pigmentation but at the end of the day, it’s still skin. Making all mankind the same yet uniquely different.

And then there are many quotes about skin.. but the one that stands out the most in my mind is a quote from renowned investor Warren Buffett “Skin in the game.” 

Which clearly points are you all in? Will you stand strong and take the risk? So we must ask ourselves when it comes to our Heavenly Father, Yeshua, and the Holy Spirit are we all in? Do we have our “skin in the game” of life? 

Or do we give our Creator one day a week? One devotion per day? Or one closing prayer at night? 

Each of us will have different degrees of skin in the game? 

10%, 50%, 75% or 100%..let’s be real honest? Only you and our Creator knows the answer.

I do know from reading His word the 3N1 has 100% of Skin in the Game. He has proven it time and time again. 

It’s Him, it’s always Him 

"Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires, but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires." Romans 8:5, NIV: 

“My bone clings to my skin and my flesh, And I have escaped only by the skin of my teeth. Job 19:20

Thank you to all my followers for being a part of this incredible journey. 

Wishing you a day of His abundant love !! 

Meaning of courageous: not deterred by danger or pain; brave.

The word courageous is used six times in the (KJV) bible.

What is it in our human makeup that makes some of us courageous in times of trouble and some of us crumble like a cookie?? Some are willing to give up their own lives to save someone they do not even know. 

When trouble arises do we run to help? Or do we run away and hide ?? Life has many challenges, health, financial, relationships. During my life, I have witnessed single parents having the courage to step up to the plate for their children time and time again. I have seen friends come and stand firm and offer a shoulder when life got  messy. I have seen families hold each other up during life trials.  I have witnessed courage in the face of life-threatening illnesses. 

I do believe courage comes in all sizes from the simplest gesture to the biggest heroic event. But where and how do we get the strength to execute this type of courage? 

In my quest to understand this word I looked to people that in my opinion have shown courage. And I found that each one has a uniqueness about the act. However, there is one thing that I have witnessed. It is not seen in all who display courage. There are some that have this beautiful peace that can be seen and felt when you are around them. 

How do they have such peace, such courage, such love ?? There does seem to be a common denominator. It seems to come from a deep place within the soul. It is a God-given unexplainable peace and strength.. sometimes it boggles the mind... 

I do feel we should keep God closer than our own skin.. because life is fragile and having Him in our lives before we are put through any test definitely gives us a Divine edge.  Don’t wait. Have the courage to stand up and make Him the center of your life.. and reap the rewards now !! He is the true gift of life! 

It’s Him, it’s always Him 

Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the LORD your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you. Deuteronomy 31:6 

There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. 

1 John 4:18

The clock is always clicking.. don't waste a moment. Tell someone you love them before its too late.

Meaning of time: the indefinite continued progress of existence and events in the past, present, and future regarded as a whole.

"travel through space and time.”.  a point of time as measured in hours and minutes past midnight or noon.

There are approximately 21 verses in the Bible about time.

When did we become a society driven by the tick-tock of a clock? We are always in a rush. Deadlines to meet. Meeting to attended?  We juggle work, home, family, friends? Where does the time go? Do you remember when you were a child it seemed that your birthday and other holidays seem they would never come? But as adults birthdays and holidays come so fast they make our heads spin?? 

Somehow, I feel we need to get back to the basics of stopping long enough to appreciate and make the most out of each given moment. I know we are all tired of hearing no one has to tomorrow promised. However, this word study seems to contradict that statement.

I found in the scriptures we do have tomorrow promised. Please read Ecclesiastes 3:11 it clearly states “He has also set eternity in the human heart, yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.’

It also states in James 4;14  Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.

whereas ye know not what [shall be] on the morrow. For 

He has thought of everything and He has left us so many clues.. Why don’t we see them? I guess we are just too busy watching the clock?

So, what do we do with this little nugget of information? I say we take our eye off the clock and focus on Him because our life is but a vapor and in time it will vanish from the earth.

But as we focus on Him. He will teach us what to value. Who to value, When to value. He holds all the secrets in His heart. His beauty is He is willing to share them with His children. We just need to be ready to listen.  

Our Father gave us the moon, the sun, and the stars to guide our days, our nights, our months, and years.  And the tools to learn each valuable lesson. 

I see this as a simple math problem. 

1.   Earthly possessions + Life = Vapor  

2.   Our Heavenly Father + love = Promise of Eternity 

Choices 

It's Him, It's always Him 

He has also set eternity in the human heart, yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end. Ecclesiastes 3:11

James 4;14  Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.

I said, ‘Plant the good seeds of righteousness, and you will harvest a crop of love. Plow up the hard ground of your hearts, for now, is the time to seek the LORD, that he may come and shower righteousness upon you. Hosea 10:12

Meaning of missing not able to be found because it is not in its expected place

There are 47 verses about missing someone in the Bible.

Missing is such a heartfelt word. Its when someone we have grown to love is not touchable. We can only hear they're a voice in our minds. We can only hear their laughter in our hearts. We can see their smile and look into there eyes in photographs. These feelings of missing the very essence of who they are. These feelings of the longing of days gone by will haunt our souls. They will continue to make our hearts ache until we see them again. 

Missing is a void that feels like you are carrying a hole in your soul. Only time and location can correct. I had an amazing teacher that taught me the value of love by telling me a story. It was a beautiful love story. It pointed out that as we LOVE and make beautiful memories. No matter what happens as long as we LOVE …  Our LOVE never dies. It becomes a part of who we are…It becomes ingrained in our hearts so deeply that It can never be taken away.  So LOVE, LOVE OFTEN, LOVE with all your might !!

Those are the moments that will live on and become part of our soul's DNA for eternity. They will be the memories that we leave with others and take with us as we leave this earth. 

I have also been told a time or two. There are no bad memories allowed in heaven. Isn't that amazing ?? 

But wait if that is the case why are we wasting our time making bad memories? Make memories that will be cherished on earth and in heaven…. LOVE is the ONLY reason that we even exist. 

My teacher's name is Jesus.  You can not get any better than that ??

He is the most amazing LOVE expert I know. His love could not be stopped. It could not be contained. His love has lasted throughout the ages and is still alive today.  

I will admit He found me even when I did not know I was even missing. 

It's Him, It's always Him.

So also you have sorrow now, but I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy from you. John 16:22

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid John 14:27

Inspiring Music Lyrics Lifehouse - From Where You Are Lyrics HD

Life is ten percent what you experience and ninety percent how you respond to it. — Dorothy M. Neddermeyer

The meaning of anxiety a feeling of worry, nervousness, or unease, typically about an imminent event or something with an uncertain outcome:

There are approximately 53 verses in the Bible that speak of anxiety. 

Fear and Anxiety are emotions that are truly complex.  As I study the word anxiety I can only feel unequipped to truly write this from an educated perspective. I am not a psychologist nor a therapist. But I can speak from my experience. And my wanting to know more about this emotion so I can help the ones I love that suffer at the hands of such a debilitating emotion. I do believe the emotion of fear was a God-given emotion to protect us from danger. 

I feel anxiety seems to manifest itself from prior frightening experience. It leaves a vivid memory in our subconscious mind that forms a trigger that mirrors a fear that we once had.  When these triggers are activated by the mind it can make these emotions come racing to the surface. 

It can cause your pulse to elevate, your palms to sweat, your thoughts to race, and breathing can become labored. The fight or flight thoughts begin to kick in.  It can cause a surge of adrenaline rushing through your body in hopes of assisting you with an action of either fighting or fleeing.  

I do believe the mind is complex and learns to distinguish the difference between a true genuine danger and one that is rising from previous experience. Both can be debilitating and can rob you of living life to its full potential.  It can STOP you from many beautiful life events and people that may have crossed your path. 

Are you aware that even Jesus suffered from anxiety and fear??  It’s documented in the Scriptures, read Mark 14: 32-34

There Jesus taught us that Our Father has left us with many remedies.  The number one answer is to seek His face.  Listen for His whispers.. and ease your grip. We have a tendency to say I am giving this to you Lord please help me, take this from me... 

But too many times I see .. is it just a verbal request?  We offer it to Him with a closed fist. Do we keep the problem tightly protected in the palm of our hands?  I say relax take a deep breath and begin to slowly open your Hands one finger at a time. And when your hands and your heart are fully open.. Ask Him to take this fear from your heart and let all your anxiety flee... 

And when you face your opponent, you may see that it was not worth your inner peace... it was not worth your health, it was not worth your freedom. And perhaps the reason for your anxiety was nothing like the picture in your mind. It may be a learning experience that has made you stronger.. and the issue seems so small, and you will find that it was not worth your thought. 

I do believe it is a constant struggle to leave it with Him. And not pick it up time and time again. But He is our strength. He is our refuge. He is our peace. So I say when the urge comes and fills you with the anxious fight or flight response, that you fly !! Fly into His loving protective arms... and He will see you through. 

Its Him, It’s always Him 

To my family and friends who suffer from anxiety, I am here for you. ♥🙏🏻🕊 I can only offer you my understanding heart, an ear to listen, and a shoulder to lean on. Always remember don't let anxiety rob you of life. Because you are His child.. and He loves you beyond measure.

They went to a place called Gethsemane, and Jesus said to his disciples, “Sit here while I pray.” He took Peter, James, and John along with him, and he began to be deeply distressed and troubled. Mark 14:32-34

‘Do not fear, for I am with you;

Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God.

I will strengthen you, surely I will help you, Surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’Isaiah 41:10

I sought the Lord, and He answered me And delivered me from all my fears. Psalm 34:4
