Beautiful Is His Love

Beautiful Is His Love



 I wake and see all that suppresses me.  The burdens of this world are heavy daily.
“Oh God, I cry out to You.  I need You.”                              

 You say to my heart,

                                   
  “My Child give everything to Me.  I will carry you.”                                                                                             

                     
                                    
  I slide down the side of my bed and rest on my knees. 
                              
  “I lift my hands to You, Oh My God. I do put all my trust in You.”

                              I feel His touch.  I am lighter.
 I have sweet time with my Savior.
                                         
   I refuse to live this day without Him.
      One moment with Him on Earth, is a time of eternity in Heaven.

  “I love You my Lord.”

You hear me and receive my heart’s words to Your Prefect Heart of Love toward me.







“I feel You Lord.  I know You are with me.”
  My spirit is quick to respond to His presence.

I hear You say to Your Beloved…..
“My Child, I love you with a love that never ends.  I know what is in your heart. 
I see the deep things no man can see.  All because of My great Love for you.
You are mine and You belong to Me.  I paid the price for you.
 I delight in calling you My Own. 
You are so precious to me and You are beautiful.”


 I say to Him,
“Lord, I am so full of failure.  I make so many mistakes.
 Life is hurting me and I feel like it pulls me away from getting close to you. 
You are so good and so true.  How can You just take me as I am like this?”


My Lord tells my heart,
“Oh My Beautiful One….I have covered you with my own shed blood.
 I see no stain on you.  My blood claims you as Mine. 
The scars I have, I did it all for you. 
You have run away from me.  You have pulled away ….not understanding. 
But I reveal to you the deep things of Me, to your spirit, heart and mind
as you run back to My arms.”

“I see every tear and every worry.  I know your hurt and the ones who have hurt you.
I know who they are that have caused you pain.
 I want you to forgive them and let go of the pain.
My Love for you will be released inside your heart and pour out in stronger ways throughout your life."

"Trust Me.”

I say to My Lord,
"Oh Father, I hear You.  Oh My God, It hurts.
The very core of my heart is in a tight knot of pain.
My tears fall hard and my heart grips tighter with each tear.
I can’t let it go on my own.  Help me My Father.

                                                                          Touch my heart and give me the strength to let go of those things not meant for me to carry.”
                                                                                   

My Lord says,
“I see your scars and wounds…I am The One to touch those places in your life, with a gentle, perfect healing.  I see your brokenness and I will make you whole.
Let me set you free, and let me restore your joy to you once again.”


I say to My Lord,
“Lord, I have been in a season of sadness and pain for far too long. 
My tears have flowed and my heart has ached, day and night. 
This Season has been a long one for me.
I give it all to You now.”

“That season is over and now I know, You and I are in a new season.
You are restoring the inside of me, in a new-ness I have never known before.
Oh God I ask You to search my heart and remove my deep pain, hurt, resentments."
"Oh My Father, draw me close to You.
I don’t want to do anything without You near me. 
You preserve me O My Father. 
I am so captivated by You, My God.
Yet You are The One that says, that I am captivating to You. 
You stir in my spirit with beautiful thoughts of the things that You are.
Oh How Beautiful is such a love as this, that You and I share.
I only want to know You more.  You draw me to Your light." 
   "When I rise up, you are near and when I lay down You are with me."

"Your Love is so complete and so full, that everything about my life is important to Your care. 
You give very close attention to the details of everything that concerns me. 
Keep me sensitive Lord, so that I may be sensitive. 


Keep me joyful Lord, that I may be joyful.
Fill me with Your Precious Holy Spirit, so that I may be full.”



 "My Beloved, Beautiful Child,
 I see no stain on you. 
You are beautiful and without fault in my eyes.
You are pure and innocent to me. 
Your scars and pain will no longer be in your heart.
 I will cause you to know My Love in those places, instead.
 My Love is replacing all that harmed you. 
You are Mine.  I Love You with an Everlasting Love. 
There is no power on Earth to separate you from Me.”

Take One Step To Move Forward

                       
Take One Step To Move Forward







This is a True Story.
It really happened during worship, this Morning  at church
in Harrisonburg VA.
I am forever changed.  Forever.

I am standing just inside the edge of the place not meant for me anymore.
That place is hurt, pain and damage….a place of stones and hard ground.

Not too many new things are growing there. There are patches of green areas of life…but so many spaces between those places and the hard places.
Life does get through though.

Things God wants for me and has planned for me, come alive in those dry spaces…becoming  miracles for different seasons of my life. 
Poking and breaking through the pain and hurt. 

Those miracles, have been watered by my tears and grown through the faith of my prayers to my Heavenly Father.

I have been on a journey.  A journey to The Place He has for me. 

A Land that flows with living water, fresh new things.  Joy and Dancing.  Life and Freedom. 

Today I came to the end of that land I have been traveling.  I can see, what is ahead of me and I want to be there. 
Both my feet are standing together, side by side.  All I have to do is take a step.
One Step. To Move Forward.
Yet I am reserved.  I look back at the life I know. 

But my attention is drawn to look forward.  I hear Him. 
“Kim.   Take One Step.  I will take the rest for you.  I know it is hard.  I know you hurt. 
I know how much strength you have and how much you can and can not carry. 
You are at the place of choice To Move Forward. 
Kim, Take One Step.” 

“Lord, I see You there.  Yet I feel you right here at this land’s edge.” 
“I can’t do this without you.  I don’t want to without you.”

My heart aches inside.  The hurt reminds me of how it has been a very close acquaintance.  That it has been comfortable inside me.  Hurt says, “Look back at what has been done to you.  There has been too much trauma.  Just let me sleep inside you  and you wont feel it, I will cause you to become dull to the pain.”

I look back.  I take a step back. 

“Kim, I Am singing you a love song.  Come to Me My Precious Child.
I have Life for you and more abundantly.
I saw you take that step back.  I know your fear.  I know it hurts. 
But I Am still only asking you to take One Step Forward.  I will do the rest.”
“Leave the past.  Let the dead bury the dead.  I have life for you.
I have new things for you and new ground for your journey toward My Kingdom.
I make all things new.” 

I take that weak, slow Step Forward.  One Step Forward. 

“Okay God, I did it.”  “Help me now, to journey with You in new things, in a new life, in new land.”
I look forward, further than I ever looked back.  I see the light shining in the distance…The light moves and shines all over the land prepared for me.

  The Land in front of me. There are no dark spots, no hard stoned places.


Everywhere The Light touches…Life Happens.  Even the lush green grass is shining. 


The Light is near.  The Light is Running.

The Light Captures Me and collides dramatically and sweetly into my mind, flowing to my heart and filling the core of my spirit in my belly.
I can feel the hard places of hurt, pain, damage, abuse, lies break away and be consumed by The Light.

 

 I lift my hands.  I turn my face to The Son…He Shines Brightly In Me Now.
  I’m Not Going Back. I’m Moving  Ahead.
I am free.                                                                 
Who The Son sets free is free indeed.


Moving Forward

Awesome video! Let's know that we need to keep moving forward and not look back.

 Moving Forward
Chorus:
I’m not going back, I’m moving ahead
I’m here to declare to You, my past is over
In You, old things are made new
Surrendered my life to Christ
I’m moving, moving forward

Verse:
What a moment You have brought me to
Such a freedom I have found in You
You’re the healer who makes all things new
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

You have risen with all power in Your hands
You have given me a second chance
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

You make all things new
You make all things new
I will follow You forward

A Hug From Jesus

                             A HUG FROM JESUS

This is a true story.  It really happened in my life.
I have wrote about this before…I reflect back on this event from time to time…
when I need a hug from Jesus.
I felt the Lord talk to me heart today about this story and He reminded me how attentive He is in all areas of my life.  He loves His Girls and He wants you to know…that when life is overwhelming and your just exhausted from the stress.  When you are overcome with the emotions that the drama of life floods upon you…He wants you to take a moment, be still and rest in His arms.

Let Him refresh you.  Let Him give you a hug.

Some time ago, when I lived in another area a few hours from where I reside now…I was attending a church there for many years of my Christian walk.  I learned a lot from their Women’s Bible Study there.  I was a young mom and a growing Christian wife.  These women were so helpful in teaching and guiding in those areas of my life. 

One morning I got up to get ready to go to my study group.  I had been having a particularly hard week.  But I was determined to go, so I can learn and grow in The Truth of what God had for my life as a mom and wife. 

I was looking in the mirror at my reflection of applying makeup.  I just suddenly felt this long, deep sigh develop through me from the stresses of my life.  I just stopped a moment, looked into the mirror, trying to see past my reflection to see if I could find the real me through all I was feeling at that moment.

I whispered  to My Lord,
 “God, I could really use a hug from you today.”  “Can I have a hug?”

Well that was that.  I said it and went on with my day forgetting the moment.

I got to the Women’s Bible Study. 
I was late. I have never been late before.  I liked to get there early so I can get my “usual seat” and sit with my “particular group of friends,” in the back of the room.  We liked to chat a little before class started.
(Don’t you know, Jesus knew this about me too, because there is nothing about my life that misses his attention and care)

When I got there that morning, I had no seat.  The Room Was Packed. 
There was barely standing room only. 
I looked at my sweet friends at the back table, where I “usually sit,”  and they whispered, “Sorry,” with a little frown, to show me they cared. 
I shrugged and walked forward to try and find somewhere to sit. 
I saw one seat open, in the very front row…Next to people I didn’t know. 
It surprised me that it was left open, considering women were standing up,  against the walls. 
It was like that seat was meant for only me!
I felt compelled and drawn to sit there. 
Like a magnet pulling me toward that very seat. 

The music started and we all began to worship and sing.
A song came on that I really liked and I began to sing. I closed my eyes and raised my hands to my God.  Just loving on Him from my heart.

I suddenly saw myself……like a movie being played in the theater of my mind.
I saw myself as a little girl about 5 years old with long wispy blonde hair, in a little white dress, barefooted, running in a lushish, deep green field.  Nearby was a Great Oak Tree full of the most beautiful branches and leaves.  No shadows.  There was light all around in an incredible blue sky.  No clouds.

In the distant I could see a man in a white robe with a sash, running toward me with his arms outstretched toward me.  The closer he got, I began to see a smile on his face that assured me and completed a love inside of me. 

I began to run to him.  I knew this man.  I knew he loved me and I loved him too.
We ran and met each other.
He picked me up and hugged me tight…smiling the whole time with a pure and perfect love for me.

I opened my eyes.  I was in the Bible Study group.  But I was being HELD.  Yes, HUGGED.  The woman to my left, had grabbed me and held me and didn’t let go. 
In my mind, in the deep place of truth in my heart…She was being Jesus.
 In my arms, she was Jesus to me.  I got my hug.

She held me for the longest time and I could feel everything I felt as I experienced in the vision of my mind.  It poured into my spirit.

I was overcome by this great act of love. 
I began to weep in this wondrous moment. 

A month or so later.  I went to a Women’s Retreat…with this Bible Study group. 
I saw the woman there.  She was sitting at a table with another lady.
I decided to go introduce myself and tell her what happened, that day…I got a hug from Jesus.

She looked at me and amazement filled her countenance. 
She said to me,  “You know it is the oddest thing.”  “I was standing there worshipping God and all at once, He tells my spirit, “Grab that women next to you and hug her and don’t let go.”  “Now.”
I told her that was at that exact moment, when in my vision Jesus had grabbed me and held me.  I thought you were Him.
Guess what…She Was. 

We are Jesus eyes.  We are His arms.  We are His ears. 
We are His feet.  We are His.

Did you know, whenever you, “Do it to the least of these, you do it unto Him?”

Let us be open and aware to hear Him say to our hearts  and to move our spirits, to love on someone with His love. 
With His comfort.  With His joy.  With His healing touch.

Hug someone today, and don’t let go until You feel better.

Speechless

SPEECHLESS


I am speechless, astonished and amazed in your presence now.
  You have shown us the love that leads us.



My family and I were visiting a church recently one Sunday morning.  
What I witnessed with the eyes of my heart at this precious church,
left my husband and I without words.   
When there are no words, your tears speak louder than what words your mouth can even whisper.
God heard the words that could only form in our hearts that morning, but He captured those words that poured out, in the form of overflowing tears, in His hands.
He held them to His own heart like a most precious thing ever to be given. 
He received it all very personally, to himself, for himself.  

Worship started.  Instantly the anointing fell all through the sanctuary 
and poured onto and throughout each of us within this church. 


 
I could see the colors of their words they were singing, flowing out like a living wave of rainbows toward the people in the church and wrapping the glory of God around us all, working into our hearts and drawing us to the Throne room of God in our worship to Him. 

The words of the worship, never fell down or touched the floor, but stayed within the sanctuary and flowing around His people and the worship team.  


We were so overcome with the presence of The Holy Spirit...that we could barley whisper the words of the songs...but our hearts were loud and clear to God's hearing. 

While there, we saw something even more incredible, more profound then this.

I saw a man walk into a back room behind the worship team and come out with a pile of banners in all colors and sizes. 

He laid them down at the alter in front of the worship team and one by one, I watched God's people come up and take one and begin to wave them to the Lord in worship, to sing and dance with their whole hearts.  But the greatest of this was the children.  Every Child was doing the same.  It was a holy moment.  A time to "take off your shoes, for this is holy ground" moment.

What captivated me even more was...one of the men, knelt down on both knees, lifted his face toward heaven and waved his banner to the glory of God...






but as I was seeing this, I also was seeing a small little boy watching him, he was no more than 1 or nearly 2.  
Just a little fellow.  He walked slowly up beside that man, as he held his small sized banner that fit perfectly in his hand.  He knelt down beside him in the same position, lifted his face toward heaven and waved his banner to his Heavenly Father.

At That Moment, I heard my Lord say to my heart;  
"This child is the greatest in the Kingdom of God.  Forbid them not to come unto me."

I nearly lost all composure I had.  I had to sit down.  I praised my God that He touched me in this beautiful gift of seeing such a thing, with not only my physical eyes, but the deep understanding of the Love our Father has for His own.  The personal Communion He treasures from us with Him.
  
What are we living for?  What are we striving for?  
Oh My Heavenly Father, Make us like this Child.  Cause us to just come to you, simply and sweetly to Your throne  to Love You.  To know, that you are not just God who sits on the Throne, But Oh Father, You desire communion with our lives.  You care about every detail of our hearts and you know everything about us.  We can do nothing to stop You from loving us.  When we come before You, with words that can't even be spoken, our tears and the words that are deep within our hearts, Oh God, You can hear.  
Our worship is for such a Great and Loving God. 

Lord, I hear you!  I hear you say, "I Have Loved You  with a Loving Kindness and an Everlasting Love My  Child.  Come unto me and I will receive You and I, Your Father will never deny you.  I will pour out My spirit in and over you. I renew you.  I will refresh your cup so you may give out to others, the Love I have given to you. "  
Lord I hear you say, "What the enemy steals from you, when You call unto me, I will come to you and give back to you all that was taken.  I want to give you everything you ask for.  
I want to restore your life, heal your heart and bind up your wounds.  I want to raise you up to fly on the wings of eagles.  I will hide you in the shelter of My wings and My breath will blow over you in the sweet strength of a Perfect Love that I have for you, so you may feel me working in your life.  Give Me your heart, give Me the details of your life.  Trust Me, that I have Everything for you.  I have a plan for your life.  To do good, not harm you.  My thoughts of you are good and holy.  My thoughts toward you cannot be counted. They are more than the grains of sands on the seas.  Do not fear, come to Me with the simple faith of a little child.  I will run to you.  I will capture you in my arms of mercy and grace and I will never let you go."

Lyrics

Words fall like drops of rain
My lips are like clouds
I say so many things
Trying to figure you out
But as mercy opens my eyes
My words are stolen away
With this breathtaking view of your grace

And I am speechless I'm astonished and amazed
I am silenced by your wondrous grace
You have saved me
You have raised me from the grave
And I am speechless in your presence now
I'm astounded as I consider how
You have shown us
A love that leaves us speechless

So what kind of love could this be
That would trade heaven's throne for a cross
And to think you still celebrate
Over finding just one who was lost
And to know you rejoice over us
The God of this whole universe
It's a story that's too great for words

Oh how great is the love
The father has lavished upon us
That we should be called
The sons and the daughters of god

We are speechless so amazed
We stand in awe of your grace
We stand in awe of your mercy
You have saved us
We stand in awe of your love
From the grave
We are speechless

We are speechless in your presence now
We stand in awe of your cross
We're astounded as we consider how
We stand in awe of your power
You have shown us
A love that leaves us speechless
We are speechless

I am speechless

REFUGE

REFUGE

Have courage under fire.  God is with you.  He shelters you from being consumed by the fiery trails of your life.  He stands over you and  the flames touch His face for you.


They stop at where he is…In Front of you. He covers you with His strong wings.  Nothing can penetrate through Him to get to you. 
Hide under His wings for shelter, for refuge.  He will protect your life, your heart, your soul, your mind.  He is your Rescuer.
He will not leave you during these times.  He takes it all unto Himself for your sake.

This is Beautiful.....  The Story is a true story...As you read this story , my hope is that you will think in your heart, how wonderful your Father's Love is for you....He did die for you and put you under His wings...Today, He lives for you, and wants you to keep safe in His care and love.

God's Wings
After a  forest fire in Yellowstone National Park , forest  rangers began their trek up a mountain to assess the  inferno's damage. One ranger found a bird literally  petrified in ashes, perched statuesquely on the  ground at the base of a tree. Somewhat sickened by  the eerie sight, he knocked over the bird with a  stick. When he gently struck it, three tiny chicks  scurried from under their dead mother's wings. The  loving mother, keenly aware of impending disaster,  had carried her offspring to the base of the tree  and had gathered them under her wings, instinctively  knowing that the toxic smoke would rise. She could  have flown to safety but had refused to abandon her  babies. Then the blaze had arrived and the heat had  scorched her small body, the mother had remained  steadfast...because she had been willing to die, so  those under the cover of her wings would  live.  '

He will cover you with His feathers,   And under His wings you will find  refuge.'
(Psalm 91:4)

Mother Birds watch out for their young.  Never letting them out of her sight. 
Her little babies wondering a little from her, but stay within her view. 
When a predator or danger is approaching…She senses it quickly and calls out to her young.  Immediately they run to her and she runs to them, gathering them close to her. She spreads her wings and they safely go under her.  She takes her stand and she stands strong, full of courage.  Nothing will take her babies, nothing will harm them.  She will die to save them.

God created this to happen.  What a wonderful reality of Who He Is to us.  In the Word, He directs us to Hide under the Shelter of His Wings.

When there is impending danger…as Children of God, we don’t always see it coming.  But The Lord keeps watch over His own.  The Holy Spirit sends out a urgent forceful call to  your heart…”Come Quickly My Child!  Danger Is Approaching You!” 
He runs to you, trying to gather you unto Himself to keep you safe. 
Sometimes, His babies, don’t listen.  Sometimes they go off on their own…thinking, “I can do this.” 
The enemy of our souls, seeks to kill, steal and destroy God’s Children.   
But You have a Helper.  You have a God that Rescues you. 
 When you choose to run and hide under His wings for safety…when the fiery storm of your life is over…when the danger has subside, you come out, untouched from the harm and devastation it could have caused you.  You come out and He is still with you and then He gathers you into His arms.  He refreshes you with His Perfect Life Giving Love for you.
Giving you new strength, a stronger faith and ability.
Carrying you to a new place.

The True Meaning of Christmas

The True Meaning of Christmas

Late one Christmas Eve I sank back, tired but content, into my easy chair.
The kids were in bed, the gifts were wrapped, the milk and cookies waited by the fireplace for Santa.
As I sat back admiring the tree with its decorations, I couldn’t help but feel that something was missing.
It wasn’t long before the tiny twinkling tree lights lulled me to sleep.


I don’t know how long I slept, but all of a sudden I knew that I wasn’t alone.
I opened my eyes and you can imagine my surprise when I saw Santa Claus himself standing next to my Christmas tree.
He was dressed all in fur from his head to his foot just as the poem described him.
But he was not the jolly old elf of Christmas legend.
The man who stood before me looked sad and disappointed.
And there were tears in his eyes.

“Santa, what’s wrong? “ I asked. “Why are you crying?”
Santa looked at me with eyes filled with tears and said sadly,
“It’s the children.”
“But the children love you.” I said
Santa replied,
“Oh, I know they love me and the gifts I bring them. But the children of today seem to have somehow missed out on the true spirit of Christmas. It’s not their fault. It’s just that many of the adults have not been taught themselves about the true meaning of Christmas and those that know…have forgotten to teach the children.”

“Teach them what?” I asked.
Santa’s kind old face became soft, more gentle.
His eyes began to shine with something more than tears. He spoke softly. “Teach the children the true meaning of Christmas.”
“Teach them that the part of Christmas we can see, hear and touch is much more than meets the eye. Teach them the symbolism behind the customs and traditions of Christmas we now observe. Teach them what it is those things truly represent.”

Santa reached into his bag and pulled out a tiny Christmas tree and set it on my mantle.
“Teach them about the Christmas tree.”

“Green is the second color of Christmas. The stately evergreen with its unchanging color represents the hope of eternal life in Jesus. It’s needles point heavenward as a reminder that man’s thoughts should turn heavenward as well.”
                                 
                                            


Santa reached into his bag again and pulled out a shiny star and placed it at the top of the small tree.

“The star was the heavenly sign of promise. God promised a Savior for the world and the star was the sign of the fulfillment of that promise of the night that Jesus Christ was born. Teach the children that God always fulfills His promises and that wise men still seek Him.”

Santa continued….”Red is the first color of Christmas.”
He pulled forth a red ornament for the tiny tree.

“Red is deep, intense, vivid. It is the color of the life giving blood that flows through our veins. It is the symbol of God’s greatest gift. Teach the children that Christ gave His life and shed His blood for them that they might have eternal life. When they see the color red it should remind them of that most wonderful gift.”



Santa found a bell in his pack and placed it on the tree.
“Just as lost sheep are guided to safety by the sound of the bell, it continues to ring today for all to be guided to the fold. Teach the children to follow the true Shepherd who gave His life for the sheep.”

Santa placed a candle on the mantle and lit it. The soft glow from its one tiny flame brightened the room.
“The glow of the candle represents how man can show his thanks for the gift of God’s son that Christmas Eve long ago.

Teach the children to follow in Christ’s footsteps. To go about doing good. Teach them to let their lights shine before men that all may see it and glorify God. This what is symbolized when the twinkle lights shine on the tree like hundreds of bright, shining candles, each of them representing one of God’s precious children, their light shining for all to see.”       




Again, Santa reached into his bag and this time he brought forth a tiny red and white striped candy cane. As he hung it on the tree, he spoke softly.


“The candy cane is a stick of hard, white candy. White to symbolize the virgin birth and sinless nature of Jesus and the shape “J” to represent the precious name of Jesus who came to earth as our Savior. It also represents the crook of the Good Shepherd which he uses to reach down into the ditches of the world to lift out the fallen lambs who, like sheep, have gone astray. The original candy cane had three small red stripes which are the stripes of the scourging Jesus received by which we are healed, and a large red stripe that represents the shed blood of Jesus so that we can have eternal life. Teach these things to the children.“

Santa brought out a beautiful wreath made of fresh fragrant greenery and tied with a bright red bow.

                                                     
“The bow reminds us of the bond of perfections which is love. The wreath embodies all the good things about Christmas for those with eyes to see and hearts to understand. It contains the colors of red and green and the heaven turned needles of the evergreen. The bows tells the story of good will towards all and its color reminds us of Christ’s sacrifice. Even its very shape is symbolic, representing eternity and the eternal nature of Christ’s love. It is a circle without beginning and without end. These are the things you must teach the children.”

“But where does that leave you Santa?” I asked.
The tears gone now from his eyes, a smile broke over Santa’s face.

“Why, bless you my dear.” He laughed. “I’m only a symbol myself. I represent the spirit of family fun and the joy of giving and receiving. If the children are taught these other things, there is no danger that I’ll ever be forgotten.”   



I think I’m beginning to understand at last.” I replied.
“That’s why I came.” Said Santa. “You’re an adult. If you don’t teach the children these things, then who will?”

Merry Christmas
