Love Lifted Me


January 8, 2013

" I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth."  Psalm 121: 1-2


Have you ever been in a situation where someone came along and said just the right words and your whole day got better?  Perhaps, you heard a sermon and it seemed as if the preacher was speaking directly to you?  Then there was the time you were listening to the radio and a song came on where every word captured the deepest feelings hidden in your heart.    "How did they know the right words?"  "Has someone been telling the Pastor my business?"  "Wow, I am going to buy that CD. That song describes exactly how I feel."

Hearts that look toward heaven, physical or spiritual eyes that "look to the hills" to seek help from the One who has the power to change the circumstances. to provide encouragement. deliverance, healing, understanding, financial relief. direction, will discover
that the Lord is faithful to His promises.  "I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you shall go: I will guide you with my eye."  Psalm 32:8  God does work in mysterious ways.
He will send a friend or stranger to help or encourage.  He is able to deliver a message through His preachers that can speak to the need of all present.  Through a song, souls
can and are encouraged to press forward.  That's love!

                             "Love lifted me.  Love lifted me. When nothing else
                              could help, love lifted me.  Love lifted me.  Love
                              lifted me.  When nothing else could help.  Love
                              lifted me."

" Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love."
- I John 4:7-8

God bless!

The Journey Here

  Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. - Psalms 23:4 The journey here...that is really something to think about.  Where we are in life as compared to where we had hoped to be.  Paths chosen while other were forgotten or neglected.  Decisions.  Times of indecisiveness. There were times we crawled. Too weary to walk.  We ran. We were too impatient to wait.   The journey.  Here.  That is really something to think about. For me the most difficult and sometimes debilitating aspect of the journey, has been walking through the valley of the shadow of death.  Tempted to fear due to memories of time I could have spent, conversations I should have had, hugs I wish I had given.  This type of fearful fretting is not of God.  I have learned; I am learning that if I truly believe, He is with me.  If I surely stand on His promi...

If We Live

  For  that  ye ought to say, If the Lord  will ,  we  shall live, and  do   this ,  or   that .                                                   - James 4:15 If I live to see tomorrow... I remember hearing adults say this when I was a child.  Tomorrow seemed to be some miraculous day.  Big things were going to happen.  Something special was in store.  I began to think and say aloud: I can't wait until tomorrow. I did not realize that the biggest factor in "tomorrow" was if the Lord willed us to live to see it.  Everything, each and every day rested in the will of God.  So, what about today? How about some reframing.  "The Lord has blessed me with today. He allowed me this day."  How about doing something in the now. Procrastination is a thief.  It is a threat to hope....

I Remember

"When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches.  Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings I will rejoice." - Psalms 63:6-7 Dear Friends, "My sister and me used to have bunk beds.  This reminds of me of that. Do you remember Stephanie? It's like we are having a pajama party." I remember. I sat with my sister in her Hospice room and I remembered.  Bunk beds that we sometimes had stacked and at other times they were laid side by side, like twin beds.  I remember that we are not in our room of long ago. Unless the Lord says otherwise when this "party" is over my sister will be with the Lord and I will return to my earthly home.  I remember. God was a Mighty Fortress during those days.  In a place where people go to comfortably die, the Lord was teaching a lesson on how to live.  Praise and worship was the norm.  My sister the angelic soprano sang.  Family came in the room and for...
