"Abba Father"

Growing up I never knew my father. Daughter of a drug addict and born to a mother who didn't know how to nurture,love, and protect. I was left to figure life out on my own. Sure I had all my physical needs met but without the love it meant nothing.

Today I now seek to know the Lord as a father. The longing that I didn't know was there, the void that could not be filled, the emptiness I feel inside is all for a little girl who had no parent to delight in her.
Never raised by a father...
Never received a mothers attention...
BUT ALWAYS LOVED BY GOD!
He has adopted me, chosen me, and is raising me up as His own. I don't even know what that looks like exactly but I know that His word says He delights in me and loves me with an everlasting love.

For as many as are led by the spirit of God,these are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out,"Abba Father." ~ Romans 8:14,15

Sparkles of Beauty

I picture God with His radiant beauty looking like glitter. Shining with brilliant sparkles that radiate light. I come humbly but boldly and enter the throne of Grace and His courts with praise. With my heart heavy and head bowed low He assures me that I am cherished with everlasting life. While covering me in a blanket of love I look up. With His beauty surrounding me I begin to rise. With my hand in His I know I am cared for. He begins to sprinkle the glitter on my head reaching to my hands and feet. And for a moment it seems that time stands still. He walks away leaving me to glisten.

"One thing I have desired of the Lord,
That will I seek:
That I may dwell in the house of the Lord
All the days of my life,
To behold the beauty of the Lord,
And to inquire in His temple." ~ Psalm 27:4

Divine Love

Some mornings I wake up with a song on my heart and praises on my lips. Bathed in His beauty and basking in His arms I think I am falling in love. Not with what the world has to offer but with the love of the heavenly Father. How great is our God that He bestows His love upon us.
I am forgiven,I am redeemed, I am accepted, I am free and I am loved.

His Radiant Light

It's shining on me. Like a flashlight it helps me to see my way in the dark dispelling it and leading me to the truth that sets my heart free. Free to love. Free to laugh. Free to be who He created me to be. It Radiates love, radiates life, radiates beauty, radiates grace.
Illuminating His manifest presence within and making all things new. What I once thought wasn't NOW is and what I thought couldn't be NOW can. Shining so brightly this King of Glory His radiant light on me.

Sunflowers

While looking out my kitchen window I was reflecting on a sunflower. And how the sunflower looks to the sun because that's how it grows. Without the sun it would die.
Wich got me thinking on how we should be like the sunflower and always look to the Son, rely on the Son, and grow in the Son. Without the Son we too would wither away or maybe not grow to our full potential with our head looking up towards the Son and His light shining on us causing us to burst forth with seeds of righteousness.

"Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father..." Matthew 13:43

Field of Flowers

As I go along in this life I watch and wonder. I watch the people. I hear what they say. With the expressions on there face telling me everything is not okay. You have to go beyond the surface, behind the mask and see what God see's.
The other night I saw a picture with hill like mountains. In front of the hills was a fence. On one side of the fence was a beautiful field of yellow flowers and on the other side was just a bare field. The Lord spoke to my heart saying "this is you a flower in a field amongst others, the body of Christ. The other side of the fence is where you were before and where other's in the body of Christ still are." Then the Lord gave me this verse,
"But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;" ~ 1 Peter 2:9
Later that night I walked into the kitchen and there on the window sill waiting for me was a single yellow sunflower and next to it was a yellow card. My son had drawn a flower on it and wrote happy mothers day. A beautiful picture of God's love for me.
"My beloved spoke, and said to me:
Rise up, my love, my fair one,
And come away.
For lo, the winter is past,
The rain is over and gone.
The flowers appear on the earth;
The time of singing has come,
And the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land." ~ Song of Solomon 2:10-12
