I Know Him!

I Know Him!

This is a true story…it just happened.


Have you ever been out with your child or seen a child…waiting to see Santa claus at The Mall? Have you ever noticed how they get so excited about seeing him? They can’t wait to see him, sit in his lap and tell them there desires of the things the dream of having.
They see him in the parade and point at him as he is coming down the road in their direction…”Look Mom, there He is!” They are jumping up and down. Over and over they say, as He draws nearer….”Here He comes!”
They know Him, when they see him. The anticipate seeing Him. They hardly can wait.

The other day…I was out with my sweet friend, Sue at a thrift store and we saw a beautiful picture of Jesus…
She said, “Isn’t this picture of Jesus so beautiful?” “I just love pictures of Jesus.”
                                                     
I looked at it and my heart stirred with a instant connection to The One we were looking at.
I was filled with Joy and an excitement.
I felt a bubble of happiness rise up within me and fill me from the bottom of my feet to the top of my head.
                                                      
                                I wanted to do the two step right there in the store.

I pointed at that picture.
I exclaimed out loud, “I Know Him!” “I Know Him!”

I can see Him in others too. Just look into the eyes of one of His. You will see Him.

He is beautiful. They are beautiful.
The beauty of Jesus, sets them apart from everyone else...
From those who do not know Him.
I see Him in my friends eyes all the time.
Those who know Him, shine with His love in their eyes.
There countenance, glows with a beauty that is alive and reaches out
and touches your heart.

I have a friend named Dell, that lives a few hours away…we have been friends for many years…
We have not be able to see each other in quite some time.
God laid me on her heart this week. She wrote me and told me how much I mean to her and how much she misses me. Her words touched me deeply.
I cried as I read her precious words of love toward me.

Normally my son brings in the mail.
Today…I saw the mail coming. I happened to be outside when it came.
I saw the mail lady put a package in the box. I got curious.
As I started to walk over, my step quickened. I felt compelled, like a magnet pulling me to go to the mailbox.
The package was addressed to me, from my friend Dell. I got so excited.

In it was a wooden plaque with a quote on it.
It says…………. JESUS KNOWS ME THIS I LOVE

Instantly…my mind replayed the moment in the store. “I KNOW HIM!”

I know Him and He knows me.

The Lord said to my heart, “I delighted in you, for the love you have for me.”
“You are mine and I am yours.”

I am like the child that can’t wait to see “Him.” But see, my “Him,” is Jesus!

I take Joy in my King. I anticipate Him. I can’t wait to see Him.
I look for Him to come my way.
And every time I look in the eyes of one of His, I see Him.

I Love you, Lord, and I lift my voice to woship you, Oh my soul rejoice!
Take joy, my King, in what you hear....
May it be a sweet, sweet sound in your ear.

Draw Me Close To You

It has been a while since I wrote in this blog. I have been waiting on The Lord.

I love you my Father…I am not an orphan.

I have been called by name by The King of Kings. The God of all things great and small.


To know You…
Fills my heart with assurance and acceptance.
I am never alone.

When I hear Your Name….my heart squeezes with the knowledge of who I am in You.
I instantly give my full attention to Your name…
Who is talking about my Lord?
Who is singing His Great Name?
Who? I want to hear.
My very core is in awe!
Tell me more.
Say more about Him…
about The One I love so much!

I look for You every where and in everyone.
Even though You are in my heart…many belong to You.
I don’t want to miss any chance that I can get more of You….

I long to see Your face…in the face of one of my sweet friends.
They radiate Your Beauty. Oh how blessed I am!
They talk to my heart and pierce it with Your love.
I am imprinted by their touches forever.

Only You can touch the heart and bring forth amazing bliss.

                                     You can also cause a violent storm inside the heart…

so we will draw close to you and allow you to calm our lives…

                            
You cause mighty men to crumble

and raise them up like they have never seen or dreamed possibly.

                                                            

You break our hearts and get out the mess we allowed to invade and intrude in places that were only meant for you. You break it open…you have too…

because your love, it conquers and captivates the hardest places.

Only a God like you can get into a hard heart and make it tender and soft.

Make it respond to Love. Your Love.

Love heals and touches those deep and dark places. Why? Because God is Love.
Love and God. God and Love. They are One and the same.
Hearts are meant to belong to God…to Love.

Break my heart Oh My God and renew a right spirit within me.
Draw me close to You and never let me go.

My heart is yours. I want you to have every part of it.
May I never be the same after time with you. After a touch of Your Love.
I want to continually know You…experience You. Live in Your touches.
                                    If I am to be “lost,” let it be that I am lost in love with You.

A Warrior's Prayers

A WARRIOR'S PRAYERS


Many years ago I heard this story in a Women's Bible Study.....I reflect on it from time to time.  It never left my heart.  I want to share it with you now.

There was this lady, she loved to pray for others.  She prayed all the time and was known for it by everyone.  She was a humble and a loving woman. 
Quiet in her ways and full of grace. 

Some years had past, she got weak and sick. 

She passed on and went to be with The One she talked to so very much in her prayers. 

                          

Many showed up at the funeral to pay their respect and honor the life she lived that touched so many hearts.  Some time after the funeral the daughter went to her mom's house to start organizing her mother's things.  When she got there she lingered at the pictures in frames her mom had of the family on the wall in the living room. 

Then she begin to notice, pictures not in frames, of other people, many she didn't know at all.  They lined the hallway wall and went in the direction of her mom's bedroom. 
This made her very courious.  
She looked at each one until she came to her mom's bedroom door.  The door was closed. 
She gently opend it and slowly went inside. 
 All along the walls were pictures, none in frames, on the walls held up with stick pins. 

Post it notes everywhere with people's name on them as well.  With notes that said, "pray for healing," pray for sick child," pray for finances," Pray for..... and on and on...These pictures and notes were on all 4 walls of her mom's bedroom.  
She looked at them all in amazement. 


Her eyes fell down on the table beside the bed and there laid her mother's Bible. 
Then she looked down at the floor with tears in her eyes and her breath caught in her throat at what she saw next.  She grabed her mouth in astonishment. 

There, on the floor, beside the bed, deep within the floor, were two well worn grooves. 
She bent down to feel them with her hands.  They were oval shaped and very smooth.  
Hot tears sprang to her eyes in deep emotion as she realized how those grooves were made!  "She cried out, "Oh My God, Who Will Take Her Place?!" 
In her heart she heard Him say, "You will My Child."     

She instantly put her own 2 knees in those well worn grooves in a kneeling position...
she noticed her knees fit perfectly and she begin to pray............

My Friends never stop praying....never stop doing good. Love one another as Christ has loved you.

Jonathan's Walks

Jonathan's Walks

My son, Jonathan takes walks. Often 2, 3 or 4 times in a day…sometimes in the evening before dark.
At first I didn’t think anything of it. He comes to me and says, “Mom, I am going for a walk.” I say, “okay.”
For some reason I never felt I should ever say to him, “Can I go with you?”
I never felt it was meant for me to do so.

After the first week. I began to wonder, why he was going for walks so much and so often. So I asked him. “Jonathan, what are you doing when you go for these walks? Why are you going so many times?”
He said, “I spend time praying and thinking.”
I said, “Oh.” Feeling very impressed.

After a couple weeks. I got used to him going for walks. Every time, just before he would take a walk, he comes to me and will say, “Mom, I am going for a walk.” I say, “Okay.”

I have never felt the need to ask if I can join him, even before I knew what he was doing on this walks.
These walks were never meant for me.
                                             This was his time with his Lord.

I never said a word to my husband.
He is gone most the time, trucking. So when he is home…we spend time with him as much as we can. One evening, he came home and noticed Jonathan was not in the house. He asked, “Where is the boy?”
I said, “He went for a walk with Jesus.”

Then I looked over at my husband and saw tears running down his cheeks.
I got a little concerned and said, “What is wrong?”
He said, “What you just said, really entered my heart and touched me.”
“What a precious time, our son is having with Jesus.”
I thought on that a minute as well.

These walks have been going on for Jonathan since he got home from the Youth Mission Trip he went on with his church group.
That was in the middle of June.

He has not missed a day of Walking with Jesus since then. I notice sometimes…some of his walks are quick ones and sometimes he seems to be gone a long time. Sometimes he goes one time a day and sometimes I have seen him go as many as 4 times, even in the middle of a triple degree heat wave.
I guess it is a matter of the heart.

I pray for him when he goes. When he comes to me and says, “Mom, I’m going for a walk.”
I begin to pray in my heart as soon as I hear the door shut. I continue to pray for him, until he returns.

Today…I was thinking about all this…His walks.
 I thought about the scripture in the Bible that states…If we draw near to Him, He draws near to us.
James 4:8.
I am certain, God loves these times with Jonathan.
Jonathan is taking a walk and expecting time with Him.

Giving Him personal and deep details of his heart
to the One he loves and trusts with everything that concerns him.

I thought back today about that story in the Bible…The Walk to Emmaus.
Luke 24:13-35. What a beautiful story.

The 2 men were walking that day to a village called Emmaus.
Discussing the recent events of Jesus.



Vs. 15 as they conversed, Jesus Himself drew near and went with them.

As they came near to their destination.
They asked him to go their house and eat with them, rest and talk further.

As the sat at the table to eat and Jesus took the bread, blessed it and broke it to give to them…their eyes became open to just who He is. They did not know, the One they were talking about on that road was the One with them.


When their eyes became open to the truth and they realized this man at their table was not just any ordinary man… they were astonished. Then He vanished from their sight.
They turned to one another and said…”Did not our heart burn within us while He talked with us on the road, and while He opened the Scriptures to us?”

My Friends, Jesus has not changed. He is the same, yesterday, today and forever. Hebrews 13:8.
Let us take the example of these 2 men in the Word.
Let us take the example of my 16 year old son.
Let us take a walk with the Lord and let our hearts burn within us, as His truth is revealed!

You Are My Everything!

        


I am captivated by This Love I feel between us, that Love between our hearts.
You know me well and I live my life through You…

You tell me how beautiful I am. You tell my heart, how I am so very much loved and cared for.

You spoke to my heart…“I delight in you and the story of your life is written on My heart for My Great Purposes.”

 I cry out with groans only You can understand.
Even in the whispers of my heart, that only Your ears will hear…
You hear the words in my heart that are meant only for you…
words that can’t escape past my lips…
for those belong to no one but You…
Those words are jewels to You and You treasure them all!

I am raptured in your tender care and in strength You alone give me…
You are the One that makes me able to always call upon Your name.

When I am in Joy…the bubbles of gladness gather within me and I burst out in laughter in Your good pleasures!

                                              


  We share my life together. We laugh, we cry…we talk.
I am drawn to Your Presence…I know the value of this and each time my breath  catches within me with anticipation in spending time with You.

As I draw close to You…You draw me even closer.

I fall in love with You more...





          
Your Beautiful, Precious Spirit penetrates my heart and floods everything within me.

                                                       
                         You refresh me…Your words are The Breath of Life.

When I spend time with you…I come away, standing!

Sometimes, I dance…The dance starts in my heart and works its way out to my feet.   I rejoice in Your goodness!





          Your arms stay open for me in all seasons of my life….You receive me.
                                                          

You desire to be Everything to me. I am so grateful!

You Look into my heart and search out my motives and bless me accordingly.

In You I Move and I Wait…In You, I Hear and am stirred....

when I spend time with You…

learning and experiencing those things that are deep upon deep.

                                My heart burns within me…I am not the same…

                                You are constantly with me and never leave me…

You stay with me and You do not condemn me.

For there is no condemnation for those that belong to You.

You are…In the place that is meant for You to be…in my Heart. Active, alive, teaching and leading…showing me the Heart of God in all seasons of my life.

When I am afraid, I will trust in Him

                                                

 When I am afraid…I will trust in Him




                        “God” I say in a tiny whisper…I need you…I am afraid.

                    Tears roll down my checks. My heart, aching to feel His touch.
                                      To calm the storms around my life.

He knows…I am afraid. He quickly stands,

after I call to Him and says to the things in my life….”Be Still.”

                         But what happens is deeper…my heart begins to Be Still too.

                         My mind settles on thoughts of His love and care for me.          
                   I take a moment and rest in this miracle…that no man can do for me.

I can not see Him with my eyes…But I feel Him in my heart.
I feel His touch into the deepest parts of my being.

Nothing can take those places…there is no room for anything else.
Those places belong to Him only.

                                    

                                                    

No intruders, allowed. I call to Him and Him alone.




He rescues me from all my troubles and lifts me to higher grounds. 

He is my Shelter and my Refuge.

I am safe with Him. 

                                                                                                                                                                                          

When I call out to my Lord, in a whisper or in a loud cry, even if I just say His name… He is with me.

                                         As I draw near to Him…He runs to me!
                      

God I am giving You the weakest and most fragile parts of myself.

I am trusting You with my life.

With the things that concern my heart.

The things that weigh heavy on my mind, in the night.

You Oh God, in You, I do put my trust.

I think of You, My God and I am overwhelmed with The Love that You are for me.
I understand that this kind of overwhelmed feelings is not like the world.
This overwhelmed feeling is not of this earth and connects me deeply with The Heart of My God.

                                                                                                           


I fall to my knees in His attainable overwhelming presence
and He captures me.

That is the place I want to be.

Nothing can separate me from Your Love.

You refresh me and quicken my spirit.
 I am able to arise and pursue the day, with You by my side, lighting my path and watching my footsteps.

You call me Your daughter. I call you My Father.
I whisper Your name…”Father.”
You answer me…”My Daughter.” But when You say my name…it is with such complete acceptance and love….when You speak my name, it is said with Your Perfect Love for me. “Kim, My Daughter.”
To hear your heart like this, forever changes mine. I am ruined to hear my name in any other tone.
I can not ever be the same again.

I say to You My God, “When I am afraid, I will trust in You.”

When you are afraid, who do you trust?

It is so hard to trust someone with deep feelings such of these. God can do what no man can.
