Mystery of His Molding….

Some days are quiet days…

Where words are embraced within the heart never reaching the outside.

Words become ideas, ideas become dreams, dreams become hopes.

A resting in the quiet within.

Gently floating up on the Mystery of His molding.

One doesn’t always have to have words,,,

And feelings don’t always have to have reasons.

Words from the heart can never be forced…

should never be forced.

The KING WITHIN touches the silence of the heart…

and CREATES.

The Potter is at work.

Surrender to the Mystery of His Molding!

“Yet O Lord, you are our Father;  we are the clay and you the potter: we are all the work of your hands.”

Is 64: 7

Breathing In…Breathing out…

Have you ever breathed in the morning?

Deeply inhaled the fullness, the freshness, the beauty of the new day….

Held it within as it expanded your lungs…

and ever so slowly exhaled all the possibilities and hopes out before you?

Have you ever  breathed in the noontime?

Paused and deeply inhaled the bustle of mid day…

Held it within as the busy-ness of it all met with the peace within…

and then exhaled this inner calmness into the world around you?

Have you ever breathed in the evening?

Deeply inhaled all the day contained within the confines of your chest…

and then slowly exhaled, surrendering all into the vastness of the night?

God’s first language is silence.

It is here we find peace.

May this weekend be filled with deep breathing in….and long, letting go breathing outs.

May the breathing in…and the breathing out….become a prayer without ceasing.

A prayer THROUGH HIM, WITH HIM, IN HIM.

“Pray without ceasing.  In all circumstances give thanks, for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus.”

1 Thes 5:17-18

The King Within….

THE KING WITHIN….Clothed in robes of love and mercy…

reigns within the heart.

THE  KING WITHIN…

Crowns us with royalty. We are heirs.

THE KING WITHIN…

rules over the chaotic areas of the heart…

waging war against all that would keep Him from His Beloved.

THE  KING WITHIN…

is ever present.

THE KING WITHIN…

calls us “friend” and opens His heart for rest and wholeness.

THE KING WITHIN…

what an incredible treasure.

THE KING WITHIN!

Stand tall and walk in Godly confidence.  THE KING WITHIN walks with you!

“Jesus answered and said to him, “Whoever loves me will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our dwelling with him.”  John 14:23

May your HEAD know the truth of His Love…

May your HEART beat with the vibrancy of His Love…

May your HANDS reach out in compassion with His Love…

May your FEET carry His Love into the love sick world.

Through Him, With Him, In Him….

LIVE + JESUS

“Beloved, let us love one another, because love is of God; everyone who loves is begotten by God and knows God.  Whoever is without love does not know God, for God is love…No one has ever seen God. Yet, if we love one another, God remains in us, and his love is brought to perfection in us. ” 1 John 4:7-8, 12

Hug the Question Mark….

Ever since the eating of the forbidden fruit..

we’ve been tempted to understand…to know.

Striving to be “Know it alls”.

Do we really need to know all the answers?

Faith tells us to embrace the mystery.

It’s ok to wrap ourselves around the why’s, what’s, when’s, and how comes.

Hugging the question carries us into the mystery.

Thinking we have all the answers stops us in our path.

Let the why’s, what’s, how comes lead the way…

Answers will come when we arrive home…and we will have eternity to understand!

Really…it’s ok to hug the question mark today…and still be at peace.

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways my ways, says the Lord.  As high as the heavens are above the earth, so high are my ways above your ways and my thoughts above your thoughts.”  Is 55:8-9

Life is not a flat line….

Life is full of ups and downs….

Mountain tops to valleys…

Flying high….to flat on our face

Quickened heart beat when we run…

Slower beat when we rest.

Fast breathing in a hurry…

Peaceful breathing when we sleep.

Yes, Life is full of ups and downs.

Our hearts tell this story.

Our hearts live this story.

Sometimes we wish the ups and downs didn’t have to happen.

That life could be even keel….perfectly balanced.

But, ups and down….such is the way of life.

Ups and downs….such IS life.

For we all know that a flat line announces death.

“The God of all grace who called you to His eternal glory through Christ Jesus will Himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you after you have suffered a little. ” 1 Reter 5:10

LIVE in your space…

Live in your space…

Uniquely yours, God’s gift to you,

where YOU can make a difference.

Not the space of was and were.

Not the space of should be, could be, would be.

This space is the present…

The miracle of the here and now…

Right where God has placed you.

In union with the great “I AM”.

Immersed in the great “I AM”.

Leave behind the yesterdays…

Let tomorrows become todays.

LIVE in the “I AM”….LOVE in the “I AM”

This is a good day to do great things…

In your space….where God has placed you…

Immersed in Him who is “I AM”!

“We were indeed buried with Him through baptism into death, so that, just as Christ was raised form the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might live in newness of life. ” Rom 6:4
