Beautiful Mosaic Masterpieces from the Potter's Hands

"Beautiful Lord, Wonderful Saviour; I know for sure all of my days are held in Your hands; Crafted into Your perfect plan; You gently call me into Your presence, Guiding me by Your Holy Spirit; Teach me dear Lord, To live all of my life through Your eyes; I'm captured by Your Holy calling, Set me apart, I know You're drawing me to Yourself; Lead me Lord I pray; Take me, Mold me, Use me, Fill me; I give my life to the Potter's hands; Hold me, Guide me, Lead me, Walk beside me; I give my life to the Potter's hand."
We tend to think that once something is broken it should be cast aside or thrown away, but when we bring our brokenness to Jesus, He can take those broken pieces of life and recreate us into a new incredible work of art, skillfully crafted by the Potter's Hands. The results are always phenomenal, mind blowing, beyond all we could humanly think possible....But that's our God!!! Above and Beyond All We Can Ever Imagine!!!
So today my heart cries out; "Holy, Holy, Holy, Is the Lord God Almighty, Who was and is and is to come, With all creation I sing praise to the King of kings, You are my Everything and I will adore You! Filled with wonder, awestruck wonder, at the mention of Your name. Jesus, Your name is Power, Breath and Living Water, Such a marvelous mystery!" 
Hear the Spirit crying out today, "Bring your brokenness and lay it down before me and I will make You Whole, Recreated in Christ Jesus!" He wants to receive our brokenness so He can give us Wholeness; Molded into a Beautiful Mosaic Masterpiece, gently redesigned by God's Own Hands!
No longer a broken display filled with despair and hopelessness, but every piece strategically molded together by the Potter's tender Mercies and Divine Love..... And He Smiles at His New Creation and says, "You are Mine and I am Yours! And I Love You More Than You Can Ever Possibly Know!"
Have a wonderfully blessed day, dear friends, God loves you and so do I~~

Melodies of Peace and Love Deep Within

"There's within my heart a melody, Jesus whispers sweet and low, Fear not, I am with thee, Peace, be still, In all of life's ebb and flow. Soon He's coming back to welcome me, far beyond the starry sky, I shall wing my flight to worlds unknown; I shall reign with Him on high. Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, sweetest name I know; fills my every longing, keeps me singing as I go." 
Awesome to have this loving melody ringing in my ears and feel the warmth of His love securely within. It's a feeling of Peace that passes all understanding; just one of many precious gifts Jesus has given as He declared in John 14:27 "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world gives, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."
So why in this world, would anyone not want to feel the love of God or His peace warm the very depths of their soul? What a treasure I have in this wonderful peace, buried deep in the heart of my soul, So secure that no power can mine it away, while the years of eternity roll.
Dear friends, I pray you feel the warmth of God's love and the joy of His peace as you go through this day and in all things seek to bring Him glory and be all He predestined you to be. Enjoy this wonderfully blessed day He has given, because God loves you and so do I~~~

Hope Springs Forth: A New Dawn Is Rising

I'm drawn today to the passage in Isaiah 43:19(NIV) as God is saying, "See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness!" 
Truly God is doing a new thing all around us today: in our families, in our churches, in our government, in our daily lives, and within each of us, His children. 
Blinders are coming off so our eyes can see more clearly. Ears are opening to hear more clearly the Shepherd's voice. Pathways are being redirected as unfruitful doors are closing so more prosperous doors can be opened. Holy Spirit stirs within us, motivating and redirecting us to be all God has planned for our lives.
Can you not see it? Can you not feel it? Can you not hear Him? Can you not feel the dawning of a new day rising? Can't you feel the move of Holy Spirit hovering over the earth calling us all to repentance and to a newness in Christ Jesus! 
You can feel it in the atmosphere; You can feel it as we gather to worship; You can feel it as we lie down to rest; You can feel it in the wee hours of the night and You can feel it as you awaken every morning; this newness calling us to a higher level of worship in Christ Jesus!
Naturally we are currently going through our winter season, but spiritually the feeling of Springtime is filling the atmosphere. Visions He inspired are coming to fruition. Barren twigs in our lives are beginning to bud, hope is springing forth, and the new dawn is fast approaching! Soon and very soon we shall behold Him and all of His glory! We have the Hope that makes it all possible in Christ Jesus!
I pray you can see and hear His voice whispering Hope into your soul... That you can feel His springtime as new beginnings are fast approaching. God created you in His likeness and desires to give you the very Best in Christ Jesus!  Instead of looking down because of life's changes, look up and feel His love shining upon your face! Then reach out and receive His Love as He grants you wisdom and peace along your way. Hope is springing forth and a new dawn is rising! God desires to give you His very Best in all your ways as you trust in Him! 
I pray you have a wonderfully blessed day because God loves you and so do I~~~

Without a Doubt His Name Has Life Altering Power

JESUS! There is life altering power in His name! No greater name in all the earth!
"Lost are saved, find their way, at the sound of Your great name; All condemned feel no shame, at the sound of Your great name; Every fear has no place, at the sound of Your great name; The enemy, he has to leave at the sound of Your great name. Jesus, worthy is the lamb that was slain for us, son of God and man, You are high and lifted up that all the world will praise Your great name. All the weak find their strength at the sound of Your great name; Hungry souls receive grace at the sound of Your great name; The fatherless, they find their rest at the sound of Your great name; Sick are healed and the dead are raised at the sound of Your great name. Jesus, worthy is the lamb that was slain for us, son of God and man, You are high and lifted up that all the world will praise Your great name..... Redeemer, My Healer, Lord Almighty, My Savior, Defender, You are my King, Redeemer, My Healer, Lord Almighty, Defender, You are my King, Redeemer, My Healer, Lord Almighty. Jesus worthy is the lamb that was slain for us, son of God and man, You are high and lifted up that all the world will praise Your great name.....JESUS."
No greater name, No greater sound than Jesus! Worthy of ALL honor and All praise! May we never forget nor fail to lift up His precious name.....JESUS! Have a wonderfully blessed day dear friends. God loves you and so do I~~~

So What's In Your Bucket List?

"If I can help somebody as I pass along; If I can cheer somebody with a word or song; If I can show somebody he is traveling wrong, then my living shall not be in vain."  Each day given is a gift from God and what we do with that gift determines the true value hidden within this God-given gift.
Just as Love isn't Love until it's given away, Blessings becomes Blessings as we give them away. So I wonder, what good deed can I do today that will help someone along their way? Who can I smile at today that will warm their heart making their hurt go away? Who can I find that needs a hug to comfort instead of a shrug? With this blessed gift of day, what can I do to share this blessing along my way?
Many deeds within my daily bucket list can only be fulfilled if I allow Him to lead my way. So I will determine to stick close to Him and listen attentively while keeping my eyes and ears open to those around me. There is no greater blessing than to lovingly help others throughout the day.
Hopes and dreams and visions untold become so real when He becomes alive within the depths of your soul. More of Thee and less of me, until it's All of Thee and none of me! I am His and He is mine, together forever throughout all eternity! Freedom is ours because of Calvary where Jesus completed everything needed to set us free!
Now there lies within my very soul, a Peace beyond measure and unspeakable joy. There is a knowing that surpasses all doubt and fear while lifting praises to our Lord Jesus. Such wonderful peace that comes from knowing Whose I am and Who He is! All that I am and ever hope to be is Christ in me the hope of glory!
Whatever your bucket list may hold, I pray you enjoy this wonderfully blessed day knowing that God loves you and so do I~~~

Keeping An Open Door For A Closer Relationship

I laid in bed this morning a little longer than usual and found myself just communicating with the Lord and discussing things in a very casual way. Not out of need or want, not out of desperation, but just enjoying a close relationship with Him, my soul-mate, Lover of my soul; who never leaves or forsakes me and has me engraved in the palm of His hands. What a joy to feel His presence so early in the morning, taking time to just be with Him before the cares of the day move in. I never want to be in such a hurry that I can't enjoy Him; my strength, my shield, my joy, my peace; my all in all. 
I wonder how often prayers are hindered for lack of a relationship with Him. How often do we kneel in prayer, offer up our needs or requests, and then close out our prayer with a simple Amen before allowing Him time to communicate back with us. Do we not understand God longs for a close relationship with us; to walk and talk with us as well as listen to us, as we unload our burdens before Him Who already knows them before we ask. He wants to spend time with us; to comfort us and to reassure us that He is always with us, working within us and all we have to do is trust Him to perform the work necessary to meet those needs for our good.
Remember the time you went to God in prayer and afterwards felt no better than before but in your hurried pace, you got up and left anyway! Could it be you didn't leave time for Him to talk back to you?

I certainly do, but thank God, perseverance drove me to realize that although I was praying to God about my needs, I wasn't taking time to listen to Him. Why do we cheat ourselves and deny ourselves the privilege of forming a close relationship with God? What is life without God in it? 
Relationships are built on open communication one to another; not just one person doing all the talking but where two people take time to truly listen to one another. We choose how we address situations in our lives and whether to open doors of communication or close them. So, if an open door with true communication forms closer relationships, what kind of relationship do you want in your life with God? A closed relationship with you doing all the talking in prayer- or an open door where you can go to God in prayer and He meets you there? Why not take time to form that close relationship with your Heavenly Father who desires a close relationship with you, His loving child, that He loves so very much and so unconditionally! 
I pray as you think on these things, you choose wisely and enjoy this wonderfully blessed day He created! God loves you and so do I~~

I CAN ONLY IMAGINE WHEN THAT DAY COMES

    For now we see through a glass darkly, but then face to face: now I know in part, but then shall I know even as also I am known."1 Cor. 13:12. So many questions and so few answers flood our minds and our world. Yet being fully persuaded that God reigns omnipotent over all things and in Him all things are become clear, we rest our frustrations and our hope.
    Hope fastens to future happiness and waits for it; but soon and very soon we will arrive at our eternal home in Heaven, where faith and hope will be needed no more! Soon, We shall behold Him face to face! What a glorious day that will be! I can only imagine what they moment will be when I behold my Savior and Lord Jesus face to face:
    "I can only imagine What it will be like When I walk By your side; I can only imagine What my eyes will see When your face Is before me; I can only imagine! Surrounded by Your glory, what will my heart feel? Will I dance for you Jesus or in awe of you be still? Will I stand in your presence or to my knees will I fall? Will I sing hallelujah, will I be able to speak at all? I can only imagine, I can only imagine!"
     And truly we can only imagine; knowing that what we now see through a glass darkly, we shall see then face to face; now we know in part, but then shall we know even as also we are known. Seeing our Blessed Redeemer Who made it all possible! Glad reunions with family and friends! What a glorious day that will be!
    But until then we must keep our hope fixed on Christ Jesus and the fullness of the Godhead:Father, Son and Holy Spirit! Jesus is the way, the truth and the life and no man comes to the Father except through Him as noted in John 14:6. Jesus did not leave us on earth alone but sent Holy Spirit(Jn 14:8) to walk and talk with us guiding us along our way, bringing comfort and peace! 
    So I pray that today your hopes are fixed on Christ Jesus and in Him you draw strength day by day. He is right there within you helping you through every battle you might encounter. He is Lord of lords, King of kings, and God of all creation! I pray you enjoy a wonderfully blessed day, dear friends, because God loves you and so do I~~~
