PASSION’S PRIZE
You speak without words
Yet your message is so clear
And I ride the flame

Soul Kisses From My Savior
You introduced me to my heart
The day that I accepted yours.
I know now that true and lasting joy
Was never before mine
Until that day I looked into your eyes
And found my very soul
Was looking back at me
In the pure love and grace
I saw reflected there.
You touched my hand
And led me to the place
That I’d been seeking all my life
Without ever knowing what I’d missed.
Suddenly, this secret of our love
Is one that I can no longer keep
To myself
And so I freely share it
Every chance I get.
A most amazing consequence
Is now so clear to me.
For every time I blow a kiss
You blow back two of yours!

A donkey ride, “hosanna!!”

My home is the sun shining down on me
And filling my soul
With light.
My home is a song,
An echo from heaven
Which gives my spirit wings.
My home has neither roof nor walls.
It is your hand holding me close.
I sing.
I smile.
I soar.

Oh how splendid it is to see
the brightness of the sun
after a long and stormy season.
But, like Job,
I, too, have suffered,
loss,
pain,
heartbreak,
confusion . . .
and then all that went away
and my eyes were blinded
for a time
by the brilliance that is you.
My heart and soul
leapt within me
for I knew it was you!
The glory of the Lord
had come
and my life would never be the same!

Took a shaking step . . .
suddenly my spirit soars . . .
faith overcomes fear . . .

The troubles in life are not the struggles themselves. They are the false notion of separation we feel. The Lord recently reminded me that nothing can separate me from His love. NOTHING. Romans 8:38 – Martha L Shaw
DEFINE NOTHING!
For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[a] neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, Romans 8:38
Here I sit at my desk looking at images of yesterday’s Pentecost splendor as the tongues of fire touched all in attendance just as they did that first time.
How did His disciples feel on this day? Did they feel as I do? Did they feel almost slain by the lingering heat from the flame of yesterday? Surely their countenance would never be what it once was as the Light shining through them was something never known before and which they’d risk EVERYTHING to share . . . and here I sit, in my brokenness desiring to do the same and confident that He will guide me all the way.
3 They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated
and came to rest on each of them.
