Oh, how You see our hearts…

Oh,  how I am drawn to Your light…

Father,

Your compassion fills my heart to overflowing…

Your goodness bleeds through the pages of Your word and turns my world upside down…

You never pass us by…

You hear every cry…

Every heartache…

You wipe every tear…

“Soon afterward Jesus went with His disciples to the village of Nain, with a great crowd following Him.  A funeral procession was coming out as He approached the village gate.

The boy who had died was the only son of a widow, and many mourners from the village were with her.

“When the Lord saw her, His heart overflowed with compassion.  “Don’t cry!”  He said.

Then He walked over to the coffin, and touched it, and the bearers stopped.  “Young man,” He said, “get up”  then the dead boy sat up and began to talk to those around him!  and Jesus gave him back to His mother…”

Luke 7:11-15

I mean come on… :)

How beautiful…

How sweet beyond measure is the Hand of our God…

Jesus… You are all together lovely…

While we may be going through things we don’t understand…

I am Yours.

Thank You for the quietness of these moments.

“Bur Moses said to God, “Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?”

And God said, “I will be with you, and this will be the sign to you that it is I who have sent you; When you have brought the people out of Egypt, you will worship God on this mountain.

Moses said to God, “Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them, “The God of your fathers has sent me to you, and they ask me, “What is His name? Then what shall I tell them?”

God said to Moses, “I am who I am, this is what You say to the Israelites, I am has sent me to you..”

Exodus 3:11-14

“God Himself is in Jerusalem’s towers.  He reveals Himself as her defender…”

Psalm 48:3

I rest in Your care…

With so much turmoil and sadness in our world, my heart is comforted with these words…

“Be silent, and know  that I am God!  I will be honored by every nation.  I will be honored throughout the world.

The Almighty is here among us; the God of Israel is our fortress..”

Psalm 46:1-11

Oh, Dear Father, my heart aches for those being persecuted and destroyed.

I come to You, Oh, Lord, doing my part in prayer…

May Your righteous right hand comfort and hold those who fear and morn…

May Your eyes be upon the children…

Oh, Lord, our hearts cry out to You…

“In Your majesty, ride out to victory, defending truth, humility and justice..:

“Your throne, O God, endures forever and ever.  Your royal power is expressed in Justice. 

You love what is right and hate what is wrong…”

Psalm 45:6-7b

These words take my breath away.

 They grip my heart, and speak sweetly to my soul…

“Exalt the Lord our God..

Bow low before His feet, for He is holy!”

Psalm 99:5

I think it is because of the sheer power and majesty of who God is and where my place lays…

I don’t have to have all the answers.

You don’t have to have all the answers…

This powerful picture of bowing low before my God, humbles me beyond any description I can think of… It gives me comfort.  It gives me hope.

May you, too, sense God’s all mighty power in your life, and any situation you may be going through.

May we bow low before Him,

casting our worries, doubts and fears at His feet.

Knowing that when we bow to Him, we are kneeling on Holy ground, immersed in His majesty and covered by the blood of His love…

Live in Love,

Lisa
