Rescue

“Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees. Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompence; he will come and save you” (Isaiah 35:3-4).

“The Lord hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God. Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence, touch no unclean thing; go ye out of the midst of her; be ye clean, that bear the vessels of the Lord. For ye shall not go out with haste, nor go by flight: for the Lord will go before you; and the God of Israel will be your reward” (Isaiah 52:10-12).

“The Lord hath taken away thy judgments, he hath cast out thine enemy: the king of Israel, even the Lord, is in the midst of thee: thou shalt not see evil any more” (Zephaniah 3:15).

Father’s Business

9/10/2025

“In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem, Fear thou not: and to Zion, Let not thine hands be slack” (Zephaniah 3:16). Move forward in the things the Lord has set before you. Let us be about our Father’s business.

Doing all things in love for the glory of God. Hold on to hope, “and let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not” (Galatians 6:9). “And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ” (Colossians 3:23-24).

“Art thou called being a servant? care not for it: but if thou mayest be made free, use it rather. For he that is called in the Lord, being a servant, is the Lord's freeman: likewise also he that is called, being free, is Christ's servant. Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men” (1 Corinthians 7:21-23).

Hope

8/18/2025

“For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ” (2 Corinthians 4:6). “But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us” (2 Corinthians 4:7). “Our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal” (2 Corinthians 4:17-18).

“But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord” (2 Corinthians 3:18). “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light” (Matthew 11:28-30).

In Christ Jesus our hope is assured. We have the forgiveness of sins, everlasting life, salvation, the hope of Heaven. We who were once far off are brought near by the blood of Jesus Christ. We are reconciled to God by grace through faith in His only begotten Son Jesus Christ.

“For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly” (Romans 5:6). His body was broken for you, His blood was given for a new covenant. Having been nailed to the cross and died for the sins of the world. He was placed in a tomb, but death could not hold Him down having resurrected on the third day. Ascending into Heaven after being witnessed by those chosen of God.

Love the Lord our God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength and love each other. “For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. For the body is not one member, but many” (1 Corinthians 12:12-14).

“Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before. I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 3:13-14). “Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus… Brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things” (Philippians 4:6-8).

Call upon me, and pray unto me, and I will listen to you saith the Lord.[1] “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. If ye love me, keep my commandments” (John 14:12-15).

“Being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience, experience; and experience, hope: And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us” (Romans 5:1-5).

Dream

Dream for me my child. Dream dreams of wonder, beauty, of love; visions of light, glory and majesty. God exalted above, heaven raining down. Jesus reigning, eagles soaring, lions roaring.

Dreams of adventure, growth, and freedom. Receiving mercy, grace, and favor. Dreams of family, babies, and legacy. Dreams of home, companionship, and community. Dreams to honor the King of kings and Lord of lords, Jesus Christ.

Dreams to love, bless, and give. Dreams to plant, build, raise and lift. Dreams to heal, mend, and truly live; life and life abundantly. Jesus said, “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened” (Matthew 7:7-8).

Ask my beloved, for wisdom, for understanding. Follow me saith the Lord Jesus. You were made for more. You were known before the beginning of time by me. Drink of my living waters, eat of my Word.

Take my yoke upon you and learn of me. Lay down your troubles and burdens. Lay down your requests and cling to me. You are good seed in good soil, so beautiful, so lovely, so pleasing to me. Be fruitful and multiply, speak life, love, and blessings. Do good and forsake evil.

I love you, I am proud of you, you bring me much delight. You are like a majestic garden where wonders grow. So lovely and beautiful, you are precious to me. I am faithfully watching over you my cherished child.

Little Lamb

7/27/25

A little lamb, pure, innocent, benevolent. Spreading love and cheer, radiating light. Safe and secure in the care of the Almighty God.

Live, move, and have your being in me.[1] “I am with thee, and will keep thee in all places whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of” (Genesis 28:15). “Rejoice in the Lord always” (Philippians 4:4). “Be fruitful and multiply” (Genesis 1:28).

Thy God reigneth, God is good, glory to the Most High God Jesus Christ. The name above every name. The Son of God, the Lamb of God, that gave His life for the sins of the world. To Him be the glory forever. It is Him who loves you so.
