Peaceable Kingdom by Meghan Williams of Dyed4you Art piece
Our Lion Shepherd looks after the sheep. The Father takes care of each one. He is gentle with us, but in an instant, our fierce Lion Shepherd can come out and roar over any who threaten His sheep.
He is protective of His flock with His eyes ever watchful. He guides us along the path of life. And as the path gets hard, He never leaves us. He gives true rest by the refreshing of His stream, nourishing our parched areas. He gives out daily blessings. May we always be grateful for His grace and kindness. He is a true shepherd tending His sheep. Continue reading “Our Lion Shepherd”
I awaken to the sensation of tears on my pillow. I realize that I have been crying in my sleep again. The hurt and the pain are just too much. My heart is hurting and I can’t catch my breath. I start to hear their words echo in my head…”You were never there for me”, “I don’t love you anymore”, “What do you want now?”, “I’m busy” and “Why can’t you just be like normal people?”. The echoes cut me like a knife and I can’t help but to sob. I wonder what I’ve done wrong. Why did everyone leave me? Then I pray for You to make me a better person so people will love me and come back. Continue reading “My Father’s Lap”
God of Compassion (El Rachum) by Meghan Williams of Dyed4you Art
Exodus 40:36(VOICE) Through all their wanderings in the desert, whenever the cloud lifted up from the congregation tent, the Israelites would break camp and set out.
Psalm 56:8(TPT) You’ve kept track of all my wandering and my weeping. You’ve stored my many tears in your bottle—not one will be lost. For they are all recorded in your book of remembrance.
There are times when things may hit us unexpectedly. Something may come out of the blue–throwing us off completely. We may immediately begin to search inwardly thinking we have done something wrong in order for THIS to happen. Unexpected life changes can have a way of feeling like a hard blow to the gut– leaving us feeling like the wind is knocked out of us. Even in THIS, Papa reminds us He is NEVER caught off-guard and He IS with us.Continue reading “Journey of Destiny”
Psalm 36:7 (NIV) How priceless is your unfailing love, O God! People take refuge in the shadow of your wings.
When you are beaten down, exhausted, hopeless and don’t know where to turn… take refuge in His embrace under the shadow of His wings. There you are protected, nurtured and there you will receive your healing. He knows your pain and the wounds caused by others, ultimately Our God is the only true Healer for them. Continue reading “Double the Strength”
Beloved, dwell not on the things of the past. Instead look forward to the future with joy and contentment. Let your passion arise and see how my favor opens many doors for you. Cease to walk in fear. You will not be abandoned. You will see fresh fruit and new wine pouring out of you. Circumstances may not appear favorable but see what I will do. I will part the Red Sea. I will align hearts and pathways to intersect and come into union with you. You will be given strategies to overcome and prevail against the winds and waves that come. You stand in peace and will command peace. Peace I speak over you and I give you that same authority to declare it in every situation.Continue reading “Take Courage”
{feeling and sensing} a thick weightiness – like someone placing a blanket around you, but placing it from back to front so it drapes over you!But it’s not a blanket – it feels warm and light at the same time – like you are safe and surrounded. It is not like a demanding pressure trying to hold you down, but more like a newborn babe who is swaddled. You instantly know you are very safe and secure. It is love straight from the Father directly aimed at you.It’s so pure and heavy but at the same time light as a feather – and you wonder how is that even possible but you know it’s both of these things. At times it pours over you from the top of your head down your body – like a liquid honey, but so much more than that. It doesn’t leave you sticky and messy, but filled with such overwhelming love.You would love to just stay in this place forever. Continue reading “The Invitation”
I have been dwelling on identity lately and what that looks like as a child of God. I have been contemplating the passage about Mary sitting at Jesus feet listening to Him and receiving Him. It is a reminder that a Christ like life isn’t always about pouring out. It’s about sitting at His feet, being wrapped in His comfort, in His care. Receiving His tender mercies as a healing balm. Resting in His presence after a hard fought battle that doesn’t always look victorious. Dwelling in His love and knowing He cares no matter what the circumstances look like. Sitting in His truth and being overwhelmed by it, allowing it to wash away all the mud and dross. Being filled up, ready to dance again.Continue reading “Child of God”
