HE LEADS ME

PASSION’S PRIZE

 

You speak without words

Yet your message is so clear

And I ride the flame

NOT A SECRET ANYMORE!

 

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!

My Beloved

A palm branch welcome

A donkey ride, “hosanna!!”

MY HOME IS IN YOU

 

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.

MY HEART LEAPED!

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!

I AM LOVED

Took a shaking step . . .

suddenly my spirit soars . . .

faith overcomes fear . . .

RE-CREATION

The hands of

the Mighty Artist

gather the broken pieces . . .

into such splendor!

Such beauty created!

Tears of sadness transformed

to tears of joy!

HE’LL NOT TURN HIS BACK ON ME!

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

THE MORNING AFTER . . . Reflecting on the Flame

 

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.

Acts 2:3

³ They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated

and came to rest on each of them.
