This just REALLY spoke to me this morning...so I blogged it!

 A psalm of David

23

ADONAI is my shepherd; I lack nothing. 

He has me lie down in grassy pastures, 

he leads me by quiet water, 

he restores my inner person.

He guides me in right paths for the sake of his own name. 

Even if I pass through death-dark ravines, 

I will fear no disaster; for you are with me; 

your rod and staff reassure me.

 You prepare a table for me, 

even as my enemies watch;

 you anoint my head with oil

 from an overflowing cup.

 Goodness and grace will pursue me

 every day of my life;

 and I will live in the house of ADONAI

 for years and years to come.

Be Blessed in Yeshua our Messiah!

Papa I'm Sorry

Papa I’m sorry.

I’m so sorry so many still can’t see how much you love them.

Even after you have done so much, to show how much you care.

Papa I’m so sorry.

That after all you’ve sacrificed so we could have eternal life.

Still so many choose you as the author of evil and death in the world.

Papa I’m so sorry.

Deception is powerful. A willful act of pride.

Dear Papa

                                           

 Dear Papa,

I just want to take a moment to write you and say thank you.
Thank you for being big enough.
Big enough that I don't have to add to you.
Big enough that I feel safe and secure.
Big enough to meet all my needs.
Big enough to meet me where I am
and
Big enough to meet everyone else where they are.
I want to thank you for loving me the way you do.
Thank you for  your BIG love that is so big that is so complete that it is perfect.
Just the way it is. Without any human added touch.

You are so amazing Papa. YOU are incredibly wonderfully outrageously mind-blowing-ly incomprehensible!
Your love is pure! YOU are YOUR love!
Thank you for sending Yeshua.
Wow.
What a gift.
Wow.

Such an amazing gift.
Yeshua, you came. You became what you created. Lived among us. Perfect. Perfectly lived among us. In an imperfect  world - tempted .... yet never sinning and then of your OWN volition - out of pure - perfect - love - you chose to lay your life down - and your were crucified on a tree for ME.

***
You took my place so I would not have to be crucified. Grace.Amazing grace.
***
You set ME free.

I am yours now.

I love you. I love you with my life.

All I have is yours. I would have nothing without you. 

You are all I have. Because of you, I live. I love. I am.

No light shows....No dance moves....No fancy sermons.
Just You. Your love, your life and your sacrifice.
It was enough then. It is enough now.

Thank you Papa.
For being "Big Enough".

My Heart Belongs To You

When my heart is down

For all that surrounds

There's no one around to love me

That's when I sense

My Love's presence

Feel his arms around me 

Not like anyone here

Though I hold so many dear 

My Love has a peace

No one else can give

Or even take from me

His love never fails

His promises are true

So no worry of betrayal

Like so many that have come along my way 

Just a deep unwavering, sure, selfless, forever true love. 

Proven with a sacrifice of death.

Steady and unwavering. A cocoon of endless guidance carrying me.

Through each day, each hour, minute by minute.

Every breath I take.

So certain I am that I wouldn't make it through this life without Him.

My love... My life... My all.

Breathing in me, through me.

Thank you Lord. 

For the life you've given to me.

I give it back to you.

I'm all yours.
