Rainbows - the Promise

Greetings dear and precious sisters-in-Christ,

We have been having an unusual amount of rainfall these past couple of weeks. This is very good however rain means clouds and clouds means little sunshine and that is not a good thing for us who thrive on sunshine. Yes, I am one of those people who enjoy living with lots of sunrays surrounding me. So this is what God did for me - after a long rain the sun would come out and a special glow would appear and looking up - there was a RAINBOW. When the first one appeared I was so awestruck that I began to cry. It was as if God was saying, "I am with you". His expressions of LOVE sent from above and revealed to us in our hearts is something that I treasure deeply in my heart and mind and soul. I pray that it is the same with all of you.

I leave you with this and may He reveal to you just who He is...

Abba Father, Praise thee for the clouds which bring the rain which brings the HOPE, may this day be a day filled with such HOPE that each and every dear and precious sister-in-Christ will be saturated with Your LOVE and desire You and You alone.

Captured and Captivated by His LOVE

Greetings dear and precious sisters-in-Christ,

Definitions:

Capture - the act of taking and holding someone as a prisoner or of being taken as a prisoner, the act of getting control of something, the act of putting information in a form that a computer can use or read and one that has been taken.

Captivate - to attract and hold the attention of (someone) by being interesting, pretty, etc., to influence and dominate by some special charm, art, or trait and with an irresistible appeal

Just looking at the definitions of these two words you are probably thinking why in the world would I long to be captured and captivated by His Love, maybe it is just something about these two words that can't be defined by human thinking or reasoning.

When I am captured by Him it does not feel like I am being held a prisoner; when I am captivated by Him it does not seem that He is using anything tangible.

The Lord is beyond the human thinking and reasoning - His very act of capturing and cativating you and me by His LOVE is something that is beyond description and if You allow HIM, (I AM) to capture and captivate Your Heart today by trusting and being still Your life will forever be changed in the most amazing of ways.

Abba Father, Praise thee and thank thee that You have captured my heart and mind and soul. Praise thee and thank thee that You continually draw me unto You with Your love that I can't help but be captivated. I pray for each dear and precious sister-in-Christ that she would rest at the feet of Jesus and be captured by Your beauty and be captivated by Your sweet smelling fragrance and forever be changed. In Jesus Name, Amen.

Psalm 85:10-11

Greetings dear and precious sisters-in-Christ,

One of the most beautiful things here are the sunsets - watching the sun as it sets waiting for a green flash is a tourist dream come true. I have a different favorite than waiting for the green flash, mine is the very first time that the sun kisses the ocean. A couple of years back I was making a trip to the grocery store about the time of the sunset so drove into one of the local scenery spots to catch a glimpse. As I stood there a man and his two small daughters showed up. One of the little girls didn't want to just stand there and I could tell that the man really wanted to watch the sunset. I moved just a little closer to her and bent down and said, "Do you know what my favorite part of watching the sunset is?" I caught her attention - she nodded her head. I continued, "It is when the sun kisses the ocean." We began to watch together and as soon as it kissed we both sighed. She then left my side and went over to her father and said, "that was nice" and she continued to watch until it set.

The verse referenced Psalm 85:10-11, "Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other." reminds me of how beautiful it is to watch as the burning sun, the daylight is setting and as it very gently touches the ocean (the earth) there is that one special moment when I am captured by how glorious and magnificent is the LORD. Oh sweet Jesus, only by the blood of the Lamb, was it possible for mercy and truth to meet together and for righteousness and peace to kiss each other.

Abba Father, I pray for each dear and precious sister-in-Christ - may it be so Lord that as she lives out her day and greets those who need your love she would be a blessing to all those whom you send her way. Lord may she be one who comes along side and says to someone, "Do you know what my favorite part of ..." and tell her story of just how rich and lovely is the love of the LORD. In Jesus Name, Amen.
