I so remember that day…

The day everything in my world changed…

The day I met Jesus face to face…

Heart to heart…

Do you remember that day?

“…..We found the very person Moses and the prophets wrote about!  His name is Jesus, the son of Joseph from Nazareth…”

John 1:45

The joy they felt… The belonging..

The hope and the uninhibited love…

That was the very best day…

Ever…

Heavenly Father,

As I come before Your throne of mercy, I reach my hand into Yours.

How I love and adore You..

Thank and praise You.

Remembering the day You sought, and found me…

The day Your love restored and bound me.

I am forever comforted by Your presence and peace…

I give you my day, my heart, and my hand…

Please, Oh Lord, keep me near…

How I pray my day would be pleasing unto You.

In Jesus Name, I pray

Amen

Live in Love,

Lisa

Walking fearlessly in the shadow of Your light…

Letting Your voice touch my heart, and clear my mind…

Oh Lord, how  I am comforted by Your touch.

“Happy are those who hear the joyful call to worship, for they will walk in the light of Your presence…”

Psalm 89: 15

How happy I am that my worship is not determined by how good or bad I am…

How happy; am I,  that I am completely, and wholly cleansed by Your blood.

I am free…

I am Your’s…

How I pray we would keep walking fearlessly in the shadow of Your wings…

Holding Your hand, and singing Your song…

I want my life to be an echo of all that You are…

Help me to live it… boldly and unafraid….

In Jesus Name,

I pray,

Amen

Live in Love,

Lisa

“Teach me Your ways, O Lord, that I may honor You. 

With all of my heart I will praise You, O Lord, my God.

I will give glory to Your name forever…”

Psalm 86:11-12

When Jesus Was being accused, lied about, beaten and hit…

He stood quiet.

Humble…

His heart, mind… and sprit and soul… consecrated to  His Heavenly Father…

In the middle of their  accusations and evil plan… they said to Jesus, “Well aren’t You going to answer these charges?  What do You have to say for yourself?”

Jesus made no reply, then the High Priest asked Him, “Are You the Messiah, the Son of the blessed God?”

Jesus said,

“I am, and you will see, the Son of Man, sitting at God’s right hand in the place of power and coming back on the clouds of Heaven.”

Jesus’ simple words inspire my heart…

He pointed toward Heaven…

His whole life was focused on drawing others to His Heavenly Father..

He didn’t stop…

He didn’t quit…

He keep on until the very end… and even then He gave some more..“Father forgive them for they do not know what they are doing…”

Luke 23:24

Heavenly Father,

I am so inspired by Your love and forgiveness…

By Your gentleness and compassion…

Thank You for forgiving my heart when it feels hard, unmovable and paralyzed…

I want to be more like You, Oh Lord, and way less like me…

Today, as I go about my day, help my hands to touch with love…

my thoughts to praise My King…

Help me to do even the littlest task covered by Your grace…

Inspired by Your love…

I pray this in Jesus Name,

Amen

Live in Love,

Lisa

Mark 14:53-72

“But may all who search for You be filled with joy and gladness.

May those who love Your salvation repeatedly shout, “The Lord is great”

Psalm 40:I6

Seeking Your silence, being still in Your grace…

Dear Lord,

I hunger and thirst for all that You are…

I seek to live beyond what I understand…

I seek to step forward beyond my last step…

Loving others…

Held in Your embrace…

Oh, Lord, please fill my heart with joy…

Cover me with gladness…

May my heart shout…

“The Lord is great…”

Keeping my eyes on You…

Not turning back.

I stand in awe of Your plan of attack…

I will trust…

I will surrender…

I will be brave…

I will love others…

I will not give up…

I will be the best me I can be…

In Jesus Name,

I pray,

Amen

Live in Love,

Lisa

I come before You, standing in awe of such grace and power.

Though You own the Heavens, You know my name…
