Seems like in this day and time particularly, I have moments of spiritual mountains and valleys. The days when I feel assured and strong about what's taking place in the world I live in, and that I am walking in the portion that the Lord has given me to walk, and I understand from His Word that this is what was written. It makes sense and I am comforted by His Power.


And then.........


There are days when I just feel overwhelmed and wondering what in the world, we are coming to? I am saddened by the "lost sheep" I see and speak to on a daily basis. (The young checker at the grocery store who shares his hurt over his father neglecting him after a divorce with his mother. The out of control son whose mother just doesn't know what to do, and you can tell she's embarrassed by his behavior and she wants him to stop talking about he video game he plays that has killing in it and skulls.....she squirms cause she knows it doesn't sound right...it's painful to watch.) Some days I just wonder what it's all coming to, and how will my kids adapt to this society, as adults? It's not what I want for them.


Oh, how I long for the ways of the Lord to be honored again. When a people will speak one language that came from the Lord.



Zephaniah 3:8 "Therefore wait for Me," says the Lord, "Until the day I rise up for plunder; My determination is to gather the nations To My assembly of kingdoms, To pour on them My indignation, All my fierce anger; All the earth shall be devoured With the fire of My jealousy. 9 "For then I will restore to the peoples a pure language, That they all may call on the name of the Lord, To serve Him with one accord.

John:18:27-

And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.

keep the Faith, grounded in love sister in Christ

28. Then Peter said , Lo, we have left all and followed thee.

29. And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, there is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God's sake.

30. Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting?

31. Then he took unto him the twelve, and said unto them. BEHOLD, we go UP TO JERUSALEM, and ALL things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be ACCOMPLISHED.

32. For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on:

33. And they shall scourge him, and put him to death: and the THIRD DAY HE SHALL RISE AGAIN

and such now, as the nations gather against Israel...

But our BLESSED HOPE, IS the REDEEMER LIVES. PRAISE HIM... Jesus is LORD

he came as the suffering servant, but Returns in his Glory...and we shall cast our crowns down at his feet...Glory to God
in the HIGHEST PEACE on EARTH good will towards man.

HE CAME and washed our feet, and show us a Better Way...AMEN

And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying,
Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest. (Hebrews 8:11)

My heart yearns for this day too!
Praise His Blessed Name!

Amen Suzanne
Blessed are those who wait on the Lord.

Hello Suzanne

Just a song to brighten your day, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iz-cRVvGe88

Thank you HumbleDon.

That was very sweet of you.


In His Love,

Me too!

I've been having a very "heavy heart" week. I had this thought this morning, "sometimes you have to go through the deep valleys, to reach the mountaintops". Be blessed, after you reach the bottom of the valley, there is no where to go but up.

(NKJV) Song of Solomon 2:1 I [am] the rose of Sharon, [And] the lily of the valleys. THE BELOVED 2 Like a lily among thorns, So is my love among the daughters. THE SHULAMITE 3 Like an apple tree among the trees of the woods, So [is] my beloved among the sons. I sat down in his shade with great delight, And his fruit [was] sweet to my taste. THE SHULAMITE TO THE DAUGHTERS OF JERUSALEM 4 He brought me to the banqueting house, And his banner over me [was] love. 5 Sustain me with cakes of raisins, Refresh me with apples, For I [am] lovesick. 6 His left hand [is] under my head, And his right hand embraces me. 7 I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, By the gazelles or by the does of the field, Do not stir up nor awaken love Until it pleases. THE SHULAMITE 8 The voice of my beloved! Behold, he comes Leaping upon the mountains, Skipping upon the hills. 9 My beloved is like a gazelle or a young stag. Behold, he stands behind our wall; He is looking through the windows, Gazing through the lattice. 10 My beloved spoke, and said to me: "Rise up, my love, my fair one, And come away. 11 For lo, the winter is past, The rain is over [and] gone. 12 The flowers appear on the earth; The time of singing has come, And the voice of the turtledove Is heard in our land. 13 The fig tree puts forth her green figs, And the vines [with] the tender grapes Give a good smell. Rise up, my love, my fair one, And come away! 14 "O my dove, in the clefts of the rock, In the secret [places] of the cliff, Let me see your face, Let me hear your voice; For your voice [is] sweet, And your face [is] lovely." HER BROTHERS 15 Catch us the foxes, The little foxes that spoil the vines, For our vines [have] tender grapes. THE SHULAMITE 16 My beloved [is] mine, and I [am] his. He feeds [his flock] among the lilies. (TO HER BELOVED) 17 Until the day breaks And the shadows flee away, Turn, my beloved, And be like a gazelle Or a young stag Upon the mountains of Bether. THE SHULAMITE

A beautiful thing happens in the valley...where the lilies dwell...where He feeds his flock...and hope arises when the day breaks and the shadows flee away...(...my prayer for you).

...and when all else fails, lol-------->

God bless you,
Kim

AMEN!

(That was to both remedies!)
