Sunrise Awe

How precious and weighty are Your thoughts to me, O God! How vast is the sum of them! If I could count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand. When I awake, I am still with you. [And I know You love me.] (See Psalm 139:17,18.)

Radiance

RADIANCE. I love the word radiance. I wrote it on my bathroom mirror once. To be called radiant is one of the nicest compliments I’ve ever received. I think it is evidence of God’s Holy Spirit shining in my life. I love the Lord and Jesus lives inside me. I have to give Him credit! His presence is so beautiful. Isn’t it amazing our Lord and King gives us His presence? What a gift! In the mornings, before I get out of bed, I give Him my gratitude list. Today I thanked Him for His RADIANCE. “You show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore” Psalm 16:11 & Acts 2:28. (My favorite verse in the Bible.)

HEART LEAPS!

Be Still My Heart

Oh God...

What is it to You

The heart that leaps

The heart that leaps

What is it to You?

What is it to You

The heart that sinks

The heart that sinks

What is it to You?

What is it to You

The heart that yearns

The heart that yearns

What is it to You?

What is it to You

The heart that waits

The heart that waits

What is it to You?

My heart is EVERYTHING to You

Because You love me.

"Such hope will not disappoint us because God demonstrates His love for us!" 

(See Romans 5:5,8)

Why do I dance?

In the classic film, The Red Shoes, the character Lermontov interviews a ballerina named Vicky for his ballet company.

Lermontov asks, "Why do you want to dance?"
Vicky answers his question with a question, "Why do you want to live?"
Lermontov says, "Well, I don't know exactly why, but...I must."
Vicky answers, "That's my answer too." 

Waiting

As I look up to the morning sun,

I wait for love and trust in You. 

No choice but LIFE, the beautiful one,

I know You are faithful and true.

Isaiah 40:31
They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength;
They shall mount up with wings like eagles,
They shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint,
Help me Lord, help me Lord, to wait.

ENJOY GOD

I believe we were created to enjoy God and enjoy LIFE! He has given us richly all things to enjoy, including Himself. He sees us as perfect and He wants to BE with us, and actually hang out with us, all the time. Jesus is the way to God, our heavenly Papa. Simply ask Jesus to be real to you. He will make Himself known to you with His awesome presence. My favorite verse in the Bible is "You show me the path of LIFE; in Your presence, O God, is the fullness of joy and in Your right hand are pleasures forevermore." This verse is found in two places Psalm 16:11 and Acts 2:28. Jesus told us the reason He came to the earth is to bring us ABUNDANT LIFE. (See John 10:10.) Whooohooo!!! Thank You for LIFE, Lord Jesus!!! I love it!
