“O LORD, how manifold are your works!

In wisdom has thou made them all: the earth is full of your riches.”

Psalm 104:24

(Send as an Inspirational Christian eCard)

The butterfly dancing,

The splashing waterfall,

I made them for you,

I, the Creator of all.

 

Do you hear the bird sing?

Do you see the sun shine?

These are My gifts,

My blessings divine.

 

Embrace them, My daughter,

Enjoy the gifts I give;

I am Goodness itself,

It is through Me you live.

 

See the blanket of grass,

Behold the jewels of dew,

These are My gifts,

Yea, I give them to you.

 

Feel the caress

Of the soft ocean breeze;

Hear the whisper

Of the wind in the trees.

 

See the freedom

Of the bird in her flight;

Gaze upon the glory

Of the stars at night.

 

Sing in sun showers,

Dance in the rain;

Embrace My sweet joy,

Release all your pain.

 

Come, My child,

I have treasures to share;

My love is like honey,

Sweet beyond compare.

 

I shower you with blessings,

I kiss you with graces,

I warm your soul

With Son-shine embraces.

 

For I am Your Jesus,

It is through Me you live;

Rejoice in the blessings

I freely give.

 

With the birds do sing,

 With the sun do shine,

For I fill your heart

With My Presence divine.

 

 See the butterfly dancing,

Hear the splashing waterfall –

Yet the greatest Gift is Me,

I am your All in All.

Shine Like A Star

Shine Like a Star for God's Glory

Starry Night by Nuttakit

“Do everything without complaining or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe as you hold out the word of life—in order that I may boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor for nothing.” Philippians 2:14-16

  (Send as an Inspirational Christian eCard)

The sun has set,

Dark velvet cloaks the skies;

Stars shine above me,

Glimmering before my eyes.

 

Glorious diamonds,

So many shining above me,

Countless stars shining,

How wondrous to see.

 

May I be like these, Lord,

May I shine like a star;

I long to give You glory,

I long to be as You are.

 

For surely You shine

Through day, through night;

Surely You are the Son,

Full of glory and might.

 

So dark is this world,

Darker than midnight sky;

So many are lost,

So many stumble and cry.

 

May I be a light unto them,

May I shine with Your love;

May I bring others hope,

Shining as a star above.

 

For what value do I bring

If Your love I do not give?

What hope do I have

If for You I do not live?

 

Here I am, my Lord,

Your vessel, Your child;

I am here to glorify You,

Make me holy and mild.

 

May Your virtues fill

My humbled heart and soul;

May Your light shine in me,

Light making me whole.

 

And Your light I shall share

With one and with all;

I shall show them Your truth,

I shall follow Your call.

 

Yea, shine like a star

I vow forever to do;

I lose myself entirely, Lord,

To reflect radiant You.

 

Jesus, You are the Son,

Full of glory and might;

You are Life, You are Love,

My Guide day and night.

 

I shall give You glory,

I shall be as You are;

I surrender all to You, Lord,

To shine like a star.

 

The countless stars shining

Are wondrous to see;

Yet none more brilliant than You,

So Jesus, shine through me.

On this solemn day,

On the eleventh of September,

Your memory we honor,

Your love we remember.

 

We long to embrace you,

We long to feel you near,

Yet the presence of your spirit

We know is always here.

This truth always know.

Protect you where you are;

We long to see you shining

In Heaven as a star.

 

One day we will meet,

This we trust to be true;

We will delight in the day

We will again see you.

 

Hear our prayers today,

We lift them continually;

For you are in our hearts,

Alive in our memory.

He says, “Be still, and know that I am God;

    I will be exalted among the nations,

    I will be exalted in the earth.”

Psalm 46:10

(Send as an Inspirational Christian eCard)

~*~

Be still, My precious child,

Know I am here;

Be still, My daughter,

Your God is ever near.

 

Let not your thoughts travel,

Focus solely on Me;

Feel My embrace of love,

My kiss of eternity.

 

Come into My arms,

Still your heart and soul;

Come to your Master,

He who makes you whole.

 

I shower you with graces,

I bless your every day;

Come nigh unto Me, child,

To hear the words I say.

 

Who is like Me?

Who loves you like I do?

Who has given his all

Out of pure love for you?

 

No one loves you deeper

Than I do, My child;

My love is eternal,

Yet tender and mild.

 

Be still then, daughter,

Quiet your mind and heart;

Rest in My presence,

Know we will never part.

 

I invite you here often,

To these precious moments still;

Bask in My brilliance here,

Delight in doing My will.

 

Forever we are together,

United for all eternity;

Savor My limitless love,

Sit in stillness with Me.

 

Rest here in My arms,

Still your heart and soul;

Feel the beat of My heart,

I shall make you whole.

 

Is it not sweet to be here?

To focus solely on Me?

Feel My embrace of love,

My kiss of eternity.

 

Yea, be still, My child,

Know I am here;

Be still, and know I love you,

Forever I am near.

My Peace I Give to You

Peace

My Peace I Give to You

Peace

Image courtesy www.freedigitalphotos.net
Reflections in the Lake by Tom Curtis

“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.”
John 14:27

 

My peace I give to you, My child,

May it your soul embrace;

My peace I give to you,

Do you feel My showering grace?

 

Not as the world gives to you

Is the peace that I now give;

It does not waver in the wind,

It endures in the life you live.

 

Indeed the peace I give you

Endures for all eternity;

Precious is this peace I give,

My child, this do you see?

 

Come to Me, My daughter,

In My arms I shall hold you;

Here you will feel My love,

You will taste My peace true.

 

Should the winds rage about,

Should the storms be fierce,

I shall hold you, My child,

In these hands once pierced.

 

I can calm the ocean waves,

The raging winds I can still;

I ask only that you cling to Me,

That you abide in My will.

 

Stay nigh unto Me, child,

Do not wander from My way;

I shall pave your path with peace,

Shining upon you day to day.

 

“Lord, I delight to be with You,

Your presence is my peace;

My life I live for Your glory,

To You all things I do release.”

 

“What have I to worry, Lord,

When I am in Your arms?

Here nothing my soul fears,

Nothing my heart alarms.”

 

“The ocean waves may crash,

The angry winds may blow,

Yet peace I know here with You,

As I follow the Way You go.”

 

Daughter, My heart delights

To hear these words you say;

Yea, cling to Me, your Lord,

I shall grace your pathway.

 

I shall fill you with My peace

This day and for all eternity;

Precious is this peace I give,

I know, My child, you see.

 

Not as the world gives to you

Is the peace to you I give;

Lo, I am with you always, child,

In your very heart I live.

 

My peace I give to you, child,

May it your soul embrace;

Sing of this peace with Me,

Dance in My showering grace.

Labor Day

Labor Day

Poem: Labor Day 

 

Labor Day

 

Jesus said to them, “My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I, too, am working.” John 5:17

(Send as an Inspirational Christian eCard!)

 ~*~

May peace and rest embrace you

On this Labor Day;

How fervently you labor,

Faithful are you to the Way.

 

Throughout our great Nation

Our workers we celebrate;

Yet let us not forget also

The One who does create.

 

Always at His work

Is our dear Father above;

Unceasing He is in His mercy,

Limitless in His love.

 

With hearts of rejoicing,

Let us praise the Holy One;

Glory and honor belong

To the Father, Spirit and Son.

 

God gives the power to work,

He gives also the gift to rest;

He works all things for our good,

Indeed all things for best.

 

My brother, sister and friend,

How grateful I am for you;

Our Father gives us strength

For all the work we do.

 

Brother, sister, one and all,

Come and rejoice with me;

Rest and refresh on Labor Day,

Lift songs for God’s glory.

 

For unceasing is His labor,

He is Life, the Truth, the Way;

Let us embrace the rest God gives

On this Labor Day.

Faithful are the Seasons

7-Step Live on PURPOSE Process

Faithful are the Seasons

Image courtesy www.freedigitalphotos.net Simon Howden

“He made the moon to mark the seasons; the sun knows its time for setting.”

Psalm 104:19

(Send as an Inspirational Christian eCard!)

~*~

In the soft hours of morning,

I breathe in the crisp air;

Though Summer is in full bloom,

I feel Autumn is near.

 

The shift of the seasons

Surely approaches now;

The months faithfully follow

As our Lord God does allow.

 

Yea, faithful are the seasons

To the Lord’s perfect plan;

Faithful are the seasons,

Yet how faithful is man?

 

As a day surely ends

At its twenty-fourth hour,

So too do I yield

To God’s timing and power?

 

In the dawn of morning

Rises surely the glowing sun;

So too am I faithful

To God, the Eternal One?

 

The days continually march

In weeks ordered of seven;

Faithfully then do I march

To pearly gates of Heaven?

 

As Summer loses her warmth

To make way for Fall,

So too do I die to self to make

Jesus King of all?

 

Heed the seasons,

For much wisdom they bear;

He who has ears,

Let him listen, let him hear.

 

The days and the seasons

Display God’s plan in glory;

May our lives too then

Bear witness of His-story.

 

Lord, we worship You,

We embrace Your perfect plan;

We are Your humble instruments,

Each woman, each man.

 

Accept our lives as offerings,

We offer all to You now;

Your Way we will follow,

This, Lord Jesus, we vow.

 

Yea, as the faithful seasons,

So too may we glorify You;

We yield to Your plan, O Lord,

You are the Reason for all we do.

Besides the faithful seasons, how else do you see faithfulness in God’s creation?

How are you growing ever more faithful to God and His Kingdom?

Book Review of Return to Smith Wigglesworth: A Deeper Evangelism

Return to Smith Wigglesworth: A Deeper Evangelism

Book Review of Return to Smith Wigglesworth 

I am honored to have had the opportunity to read and provide a book review of Return to Smith Wigglesworth: A Deeper Evangelism.

A masterpiece! Chigbu Okoroafor brilliantly leads us to the life of Smith Wigglesworth – a life filled with the power of the Holy Spirit! Okoroafor, in the first chapter, details why we can have full confidence in the validity of the Scriptures. His words are edifying and faith-building for the believer as well as compelling for those who do not yet know Christ. In the following chapters He elucidates how Jesus Christ is the one and only Way to the Father and how the power of the Holy Spirit is the same as it was 2,000 years ago. In his insightful exposition, Okoroafor demonstrates also the negative effects of alcohol on mind, body and spirit as well as the deception of spiritualism. Rich with Scriptural references, Return to Smith Wigglesworth provides inspiration and insight to all who long for a deeper, powerful relationship with the Almighty. May we humbly accept his call to return to Smith Wigglesworth, to a ministry of power in the Holy Spirit!

Return to Smith Wigglesworth: A Deeper Evangelism is available on Amazon:

http://www.amazon.com/Return-Smith-Wigglesworth-Chigbu-Okoroafor/dp/1613467974

Disclosure: The author sent me a complimentary copy of the book in return for an honest review.
