With a heart filled with trust, we have nothing to fear.

“For the LORD, gives wisdom, and from His mouth come knowledge and understanding.  He holds victory in store for the upright, He is a shield to those whose walk is blameless, for He guards the course of the just and protects the way of His faithful ones.”   Proverbs 2:6-8

The way will open up as we go and Jesus will light our path.

With mind serene and heart made fresh
with fragrant heavenly dew

I’ll be reflecting You.”

Shout To The Lord
“My Jesus, my Savior, Lord, there is none like You;
All of my days I want to praise the wonders of your mighty love.
My comfort, my Shelter, Tower of refuge and strength;
Let every breath, all that I am, never cease to worship You.
Shout to the Lord, all the earth, let us sing
Power and majesty, praise to the King;
Mountains bow down and the seas will roar
At the sound of your name.
I sing for joy at the work of your hands,
Forever I’ll love You, forever I’ll stand,
Nothing compares to the promise I have in You.”

“I will declare that your love stands firm forever, that you establish your faithfulness in heaven itself.”     Psalm 89:2   sunset beautiful“The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us.  We have seen His glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.”     John 1:14

Have you ever walked outside in the evening and looked up to see the most glorious sunset imaginable and felt the absolute awesomeness of God?  To think that this mighty God loved us so much that He came down to earth and gave His life for our sins so that we might know Him and have a relationship with Him overwhelms me with amazement.  Oh how I love Him!  This Holy God delights in us and wants to protect and guide us.  His love and concern for my life fills me with joy and makes my heart sing!

Jesus is the greatest gift the world has ever received.

But what can I give Him?

I will give Him my heart filled with love.

I will give the gift of love this Christmas to my family, my children and spouse

and I will give the gift of love in His name to all I know and meet this year.

“I will sing of the LORD”S great love forever; with my mouth I will make your faithfulness known through all generations.”     Psalm 89:1

When Love Was Born  artist: Mark Schultz

Starlight shines, the night is still.  Shepherds watching from a hill.  I close my eyes to see the night when love was born.

A Perfect Child gently wails.  A mother bends to kiss God’s face  I close my eyes to see the night when love was born.

Angels fill the midnight sky and they sing Hallelujah,  He is Christ, our King.

Emmanuel, Prince of Peace,  Love came down to you and me.  Heaven’s gift, the holy spark to light the way inside our hearts.

Bethlehem, through your small door came the hope we’ve waited for.  The world was changed forevermore when love was born.

I close my eyes to see the night when love was born.

“By day the LORD directs his love, at night his song is with me – a prayer to the God of my life.”   Psalm 42:8  

Are weeds of worry and care choking the joy of your spirit?  A beautiful spirit must  be regularly watered with trust and faith.

“IN THE GARDEN”  by C. Austin Miles  

“I come to the garden alone
While the dew is still on the roses.
And the voice I hear falling on my ear;
the Son of God discloses.

And he walks with me and He talks with me,
And He tells me I am His own.
And the joy we share as we tarry there,
None other has ever known.   He speaks and the sound of His voice is so sweet
the birds hush their singing.  
And the melody that He gave to me
within my heart is ringing.

And he walks with me and He talks with me,
And he tells me I am His own.   And the joy we share as we tarry there,
None other has ever known.”

The only way to be renewed in your spirit is through Divine Companionship.  Walking and talking with the LORD, resting and thinking of Him, loving and praising Him.  Find your joy in Him!  

“Therefore we do not lose heart.  Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day.  For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far out weighs them all.”          II Corinthians 4:16, 17

“So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen.  For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.”     II Corinthians 4:18
