His Binding Love Letter

Here it is post Valentine's Day and though I am not a huge fan of this particular holiday, I do find a tender sweetness of it's meaning.

Sometimes being single has it's downfalls and holidays are a reminder that I am indeed single. Most of the time I am quite content where I am in my journey of singleness and then there are those times in between when I wonder if I will ever share my life again with a man. I do not ponder on that thought quite often as I know my daddy God has a plan and the right man for me. This year Valentine's day was odd for me. I was not in a place of sadness nor did I feel sorry for myself. It was not a pity party holiday for me but yet I found myself wanting to hear I am loved. And I believe my daddy God wanted to show me as well. So yesterday as I read many beautiful post from what seemed like tons of flower pictures, and candy filled "I love yous", I secretly asked myself what is my love letter in life? I felt a nudge in my heart to pull out my bible and find out what my daddy God had written to me; the sweet nothings He has purposely spoke into my life.

Though my love letter was not a store bought card , there is was in bold lettering typed in the pages of my daddy God's written word. One could say the entire bible is His love letter to us all and I would agree whole-heartedly. However on this day He gave me a few beautiful, profound and heart stopping verses for my Valentine's gift; His binding love letter.

Psalm 139:1.... He knows me, my every part of me.
Psalm 56:8.... He collects my tears.
Psalm 91:14-15.... He delivers me and sets me on high because I love him.
Jeremiah 31:34.... He makes himself known to me and forgives me.
Hosea 11:18.... He has sympathy towards me.
Hosea 14:4-5.... He heals me, loves me unconditionally and has no anger towards me.
Isaiah 49:15.... He never forgets me.

And my heart melted.................

Singleness is not a taboo in my life. It is not a life time sentence, it is however a validation that I know my worth and in spite of moments of loneliness I may have, I know who I belong to and His love is a love that can never be removed nor replaced. Nor am I ever truly alone.
And neither are you.

So today if you feel a lack of love in your life, I encourage you to open the pages of the best love letter of all, the written words of our daddy God. His love just oozes off the beautiful typed fill pages.

His binding love letters..........

Forever His Daughter,

Her Son.....Our Saviour

This is a post I wrote 4 years ago (4/8/12) on "Shakin' the Foundation" blog site. I share it every Easter. I pray it ministers to your hearts. **************************************************************************** As Easter approaches, I have been thinking alot about Jesus' time here on earth. We have all heard of his birth,his teachings,his signs,wonders and miracles. For the most part, we have been taught his life story from those who had the honor of walking daily with him, from those who witnessed every aspect of his life here. However today I am seeing his life through a mother's eyes....... Mary's eyes..... As a mom myself, I can feel her joy when she looked into the eyes of her precious son. The miracle that she had been chosen to give birth to. That sweet precious baby boy that sometimes would fall down while playing, the one that cried out to her to pick him up..... Can you imagine looking into those beautiful eyes knowing wh

Sifting Before the Shifting

I have been hearing the Lord say " shift" for the last year. Shift in the atmosphere, shift in our nation, shift in the church, and a shift in me. When I think about the word shift, I see a grand swope of the hand of God moving all into a direction of peace and wholeness.I believe without a doubt He is doing so, however I never once entertained the though He'd have to do some sifting.... sifting in me. Sifting is a process, a two part process, when sifting wheat. First comes the threshing, the beating of the grain using a flail. Second part is the winnowing, throwing the mixture in the air allowing the wind to blow away the lighter chaffs and the heavier grains to fall back down for recovery. I take a closer look at this process and begin to meditate on how it applies to my life. The threshing is the process of removal; removing those things which will cause me to stumble.When God begins to remove, He does so with the intent of replacing; replacing with those

Getting My Hinds Feet

Several months ago I received a word from my daddy God telling me He was giving me hinds feet! I became so excited and thrilled not realizing what I was to go through to receive these promised hinds feet. In my mind, I saw it happening all at once.... No more would I struggle to get to the places I was called to go.... I would go leaping and bounding across all the boulders in my path.... There would no longer be traps and snares in my path.... I was climbing my mountain with my new hinds feet!!! But wait....... I now face more trials..... Heavier loads..... More stress..... More obstacles..... Loneliness that is unexplainable..... I look down and I do not see "hinds feet". I see crippled, hurting feet. ~sigh~ I do not understand.... I can't comprehend this journey.... I was promised hinds feet and I now appear to be stumbling my way over these now larger boulders in my path. I want my promised "hinds feet"......
