ALL OF OUR TEARS COLLECTED IN LOVE- (poetry)
November 4, 2020
Tenderness
Cocooning all around
A life with much pain
Will receive such a crown
All of the tears
Collected in love
Gentleness sees
Observes from above
All of the days
You thought you were alone
Never a moment
Just a breath from His throne
Tender loving Father
I wish we could see
Unravel the layers
Of seeming debris
Things we’ve considered
Of little report
Are the things heaven sees
Receives great reward
Small acts of kindness
Trickles of love
Never forgotten
Peace like a dove
Acts of forgiveness
In the face of such hate
Makes the Father smile
You’re a champion at the gate

Psalm 56:8,9
“You number my wanderings;
Put my tears into Your bottle;
Are they not in Your book?
When I cry out to You,
Then my enemies will turn back;
This I know, because God is for me.

You Are Loved – poetry
July 18, 2020
You are so loved
By God Himself
It’s almost hard to believe
But you are His
Created intent
Each nuance about you He sees
From deep in His heart
He has fashioned you
Though Satan tries to destroy
That plan will not work
The Cross has come first
The Lion of Judah receives
A cry from your heart
Will join you to Him
A cry of simple belief
No one can snatch you
Out of His hand
He’s stronger than all things conceived
Turn from the things
That keep you apart
Repentance is all that you need
Allow Him to wash you
Deep in His blood
Your past will not succeed

THOUGHTS….
June 17, 2020
So I was settling into my reading time in the morning and as I began with Psalm 68 – a song of David. It begins…. “May His enemies be scattered.”
It jumped off the page at me and I let my thoughts wonder. Why does God have enemies? What has He done to deserve that? God is a good God and anything He has ever done has been for our good and betterment. And He gave us His best and most costliest gift – His Son.
My mind went to the scripture in Matthew 13:27,28 “ So the servants of the owner came and said to him, ‘Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have tares?’ He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’
Sometimes we forget – AN ENEMY HAS DONE THIS. Satan is the “father of all lies” and he has spent millennia sowing lies about our Father God and His Son and Kingdom. Our world is clouded by lies and this is what we must fight.
It is easy to look around at this upside down culture and throw our hands up and cry – “but what can I do about it?” Well my friend – that is a GREAT thing we can do!!! Share the TRUTH. “You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free.”(John 8:32) We can help to free people by speaking and living God’s Truth and undoing the lies Satan and his followers have sown. In any way you can!!
There is something we can do – speak, share, live the truth contained in God’s Word and it will do the rest. “It shall not return void”.
So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.
God bless your day!
Joshua Generation – Poem
June 16, 2020
There is a Joshua generation
Awaiting their time to shine
God has put them into deep preparation
For in darkness arises their time
As scripture says and says it well
Darkness will cover the earth
It is in that time – they’ll rise and shine
And many will come to New Birth
Many of the “Moses’ – leaders God made
Have already departed this place
For you they have left God’s truth and Ways
And pointed the way to His Face
The first will be last and the last will be first
It will not be easy for you
But if you are here, suffice it to say,
The crowns you will earn have great worth
So keep going my friend
The pain will be deep
But joy comes at its end
God will be there every step of the way
As your Lord, your Savior, your Friend
Finish the race until it’s end
Rewards await for you
Mostly the smile of God Himself
When He sees His reflection in you

A THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
June 16, 2020
It is important to see things through the eyes of God, which can totally be found in the scripture if we read it for ourselves and ask His help to understand it. Everything happening today was foretold by God. Thousands of years in advance. Because “ He knows the end from the beginning.” He dwells outside of time. That’s why it is so foolish for man to seek “mediums” and horoscopes and such to find “wisdom” when God is Wisdom Himself. He made everything and knows what it’s purpose is, and when it will come to an end.
The beauty is – that He has offered us through accepting what Jesus Christ did on the cross and accepting Him as our Lord – we are offered the promise of living in His kingdom – forever – where there are no more tears, pain, sorrow…..heaven. And in the here and now – we will never be alone. He will never leave us or forsake us. Good promises to stand on. Having faith is believing what He said – no matter what you see.
God will protect us in this crazy time or take us home to His house at our appointed time.
As for where we are now…..it’s all in the Book. Don’t be afraid to look.
God will arise to judge the earth – but if we are in Him, in Christ – it will all be okay for us.
Here is an interesting scripture about God “shaking” the earth. For us – it is so our reliance will be on Him. But for the world and the enemy of humanity, the devil, Satan. He gets his way for only a moment in time – and people decide who their allegiance will be to. Then for Satan and all those that have chosen to follow his ways……it will end…..and not well. Choose life. God rules heaven and earth and yes, we will have to live by His ways…..because a kingdom divided against itself cannot stand. And heaven is undivided.
Isaiah 2:17-22
The arrogance of man will be brought low and human pride humbled;
the Lord alone will be exalted in that day,
and the idols will totally disappear.
People will flee to caves in the rocks
and to holes in the ground
from the fearful presence of the Lord
and the splendor of his majesty,
when he rises to shake the earth.
In that day people will throw away
to the moles and bats
their idols of silver and idols of gold,
which they made to worship.
They will flee to caverns in the rocks
and to the overhanging crags
from the fearful presence of the Lord
and the splendor of his majesty,
when he rises to shake the earth.
Stop trusting in mere humans,
who have but a breath in their nostrils.
Why hold them in esteem?

THE HOUR – SHORTLY BEFORE THE RETURN OF CHRIST
January 21, 2020
THE HOUR OF THE 10 VIRGINS – SHORTLY BEFORE THE RETURN OF CHRIST
THIS IS THE HOUR WHERE YOU MUST HAVE YOUR OWN OIL.
Read again this important parable that the Lord Himself gave to us concerning the days just prior to His return:
Matthew 25:1-13
The Parable of the Wise and Foolish Virgins
“Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Now five of them were wise, and five were foolish. Those who were foolish took their lamps and took no oil with them, but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. But while the bridegroom was delayed, they all slumbered and slept.
“And at midnight a cry was heard: ‘Behold, the bridegroom is coming; go out to meet him!’ Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’ But the wise answered, saying, ‘No, lest there should not be enough for us and you; but go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.’ And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding; and the door was shut.
“Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us!’ But he answered and said, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, I do not know you.’
“Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming.”
Notice that Jesus said…..”I do not know you.” These five foolish virgins had a lamp. They were expecting the coming of the bridegroom. They were hanging around the wise virgins. But they did not have something the others did. You see – NO ONE ELSE CAN GIVE YOU A RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS! They can lead you to it, tell you how to get one, instruct you how to have oil….. but they can’t give you a relationship with the Master. You have to get that all by yourself. It is personal. DON’T DELAY IN DEVELOPING YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS IN PRAYER, TALKING TO HIM, AND STUDYING THE WORD. MEDITATE ON IT. PUT IT IN YOU. PRAY IN FAITH BELIEVING THAT HE HEARS YOU AND WILL PREPARE YOU.
For the wise virgins …..strengthen yourselves and realize that you cannot do this for others. You need to stop enabling those around you by doing the spiritual work for them. Help them by praying for them and pointing them into a relationship development of their own. If you do not they will drain your lamp of oil and wear you out. God does not expect or desire you to do that. Your eyes are to be on the coming bridegroom. Instruct others – but continue to face the door of the coming of your Savior.
The hour is late. Strengthen what remains. Do not enable others to be lazy in their walk with God. You are big hearted people, but some have taken advantage of your love and grace just as they do to God. Pray always for mercy on those God has placed in our lives, but cast your care on God. Pray that God will open their eyes to their own need to seek God with all Their Hearts!!!
Rest in God and stay vigilant in His Word and prayer. You will need all the oil you’ve gotten, through relationship with Him, knowledge of His Word, and being filled with the Holy Spirt, and obedience…. to walk in these last days, overcome, and give Him glory. Remember: “If God is for us who can be against us….”
It’s not too late to get things right between you and God. Seek and you shall find. Seek Him with all your heart, fill your heart and soul, and let your light shine.
God bless and shalom
Encouragement From Grandmama Jean

Romans 7:24 “O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? 25 I thank God—through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, with the mind I myself serve the law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin.”
Even the great Apostle Paul struggled with his flesh….we have to take up our crosses DAILY and crucify the flesh and the lies of the enemy that try to defeat us.
God is for us!! Every day we are in a battle – like lambs to the slaughter….but thank God that we are more than conquerors in Christ Jesus. We get up – ask forgiveness and know that each new day is a gift. You are a child of God and God doesn’t walk out on His children….He keeps helping them grow.
So when Satan comes with condemnation – even if you blew it in an area. Repent – and enjoy the forgiveness and fellowship bought and paid for by Christ. Don’t let the devil steal your joy. The Bible says: “ His mercies are new every morning, great is thy faithfulness” God’s grace and power is there to help you overcome sin and the flesh and the devil. Don’t give up. There is a crown awaiting overcomers and we are overcomers as long as we don’t quit.
Remember you were chosen to be alive at this time. God has a plan to use you for His glory and He can’t wait to reward you. He is a good Father. I know we don’t do it for the reward….nevertheless He spoke and wrote it because it was important to Him that we know this. The Bible teaches we will all throw our crowns at Jesus feet because He is so worthy. He did for us what we could not ever do for ourselves and freely gave it to us!! The ability to become the sons and daughters of God and part of His family forever.
If you get time read Romans 8 again. It is packed with so much!
Love you all!!! I am cheering you on in Christ and praying for you!! I can see the beauty in you!! I can see you as the bride of Christ dancing before Him in the beauty of holiness.
(Don’t cringe at that! lol I know you see all the sins you’ve lived in and don’t see how – one day at a time, one battle at a time. I remember well the battles in the beginning! Keep going!!!! There is special honor for end time believers that don’t give up and endure till the end!! You’ll never be perfect….that’s not your goal…..to follow Jesus and His Word as best as you can and stay close to Him. Never get caught up in the “doing” ahead of just “being” with Him . It’s out of relationship that change happens !!) Many will be purified by these times – so stay close to Him and discover His peace that dwells deep inside of you no matter what happens in the world.
“Not by might, not by power, but by My Spirit says the Lord.” Zechariah 4
As we lean on Jesus……
Romans 8:31 If God is for us, Who can be against us.
Much love and prayers
