I Am Consumed


Lord, the eyes of my heart are consumed by the beauty of your character. Your matchless grace, your kindness Lord and your unfathomable love are the among the many life giving treasures I seek in your presence. Your peace, your purity and honesty renew me. Your goodness, your wise and just ways are the life path I seek to follow with passion. Lord, your love alone sustains me for you stand alone as the source of my provision. In truth, I am wholly dependent on you for all things as an infant is dependent on its mother.

Your compassion to the weak, the lonely, the forsaken and unworthy is the example of loving tenderness my heart craves to follow. For the indescribable glory and beauty of your heart is resoundingly proclaimed in the humility of your great and immeasurable majesty and power as the God to reach out to love the unlovable. Oh Lord God, there is no justice in the words of men to describe you!


You are indeed the beginning and the end of all things holy and good. You're the source and the well spring of all that men's hearts truly desire in raw need and bare honesty. There is no substance to any other thing sought to fill the unquenchable desire for you. You alone are the source of the bounty of true wealth that your spirit brings and that even unknowing hearts seek in desperation.


Lord God you are life in its purest perfection. You are the essence of all things truly desired and the substance of all things righteous, good and eternal that men could ever hope to enjoy. There is no replacement and no substitution for all that you are and all that your generosity chooses to share with the undeserving. None are worthy Lord, except by your grace.


To walk in your presence Lord, guided and held firmly by the hand of the almighty Lord God Himself is the ultimate dream of desire that any man could ever hope to imagine in the fancy of slumber. Yet, it's not a dream of desire, but the reality you offer to any who will accept in wakeful sincerity. Oh Lord God who is, your beauty is indescribable, yet I will spend the days of my eternity in endless search of its description only to bestow just honor upon your glorious heart. Lord God, you stand above all other things as the passion that consumes me!

Where Truth Is Found...

"He that cannot forgive others, breaks the bridge over which he himself must pass if he would ever reach heaven; for everyone has need to be forgiven." - George Herbert, British Poet 1593 - 1633 The above is a true statement and one could give credit to George Herbert for his wisdom in that saying, but the truth and wisdom found in those words did not originate with him. They originated with The Author of truth and wisdom - The Judge of the universe... “For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses." Matthew 6:14-15 (NKJ) ...Christ Jesus. With deception being a tool of the enemy   and being spread  widely with the help of mankind these days, it's a struggle for some to recognize what the truth really is. It's good for us who follow Christ to remember that whatever we might think or reason with ourselves to be true, our opinion c...

Fear not.

There's a lot going on in the world and a lot available to provoke fear for the future, but I have a question for anyone who might feel themselves tempted to fear - If you truly know God, does He ever change? “I am the LORD, and I do not change. That is why you descendants of Jacob are not already destroyed." Malachi 3:6 (NLT) We stand reinforced in our understanding and belief that He does not change, so... "The LORD says, “I will rescue those who love me.  I will protect those who trust in my name.  When they call on me, I will answer;  I will be with them in trouble.  I will rescue and honor them.  I will reward them with a long life  and give them my salvation.” Psalm 91:14-16 (NLT) I know that I said that I had "a" question, but I actually have another - do you really, truly love Him? “So don’t worry about these things, saying, ‘What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?’ These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heave...

God Blesses Those...

"And seeing the multitudes, He went up on a mountain, and when He was seated His disciples came to Him. Then He opened His mouth and taught them, saying:... " Matthew 5:1&2 (NKJ) In the 5th chapter of the book of Matthew, we find Jesus teaching His disciples. What He taught them there is often referred to as the Sermon on the mount. And within that teaching are a number statements that are commonly referred to as The Beatitudes. I humbly suggest that whoever it was that coined that term might have been more accurate and to the point if they had called them  The " BE-  Attitudes" since Jesus was in fact telling His disciples both then and now, about the spirit of how to "be". “Blessed are the poor in spirit,  For theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn,  For they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek,  For they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,  For they shall be filled. Blessed a...
