Flowers and nectar

 Draw near to me my child and I will speak to you

Consider the flowers of the field 

Only for a short while are they clothed in glory

Then they cease

Their time in the field is short

Yet whilst they are here do they not supply sweet nectar to the birds and bees

They support many 

And yeild many offspring

You are like the flower that feeds the birds

Because you are found in me you have a nectar sweet as honey 

It feeds the lost, the vulnerable, the lonely , the outcast 

They shall gather around my people 

For they have my  heart 

You shall be like the flower in the field 

Rooted in good soil and glorious

You will feed many 

You will produce much fruit 

You will bear offspring as numerous as the stars

Use your time in the field wisely for it is short

Amen

Mountains and seas

Even though the mountains crumble and the seas rage

I will praise you my Lord my God

Even though my enemies assail against me

I will honour the name of the Lord

For he is almighty God

If I am poor I will praise you my Lord my God

If I have riches beyond the dreams of avarice I will honour you my Lord my God

Where can I find true acceptance my Lord my God

It is found in you alone

All my needs are met in you my Lord

Even though I have nowhere to lay my head

I will not deny you

I am weary and burdened

Yet I praise you my Lord my God

The Lord is sovereign and royal

He alone governs kings

By his hand rulers rise and fall

Let my people rejoice for I am coming on the clouds

Be attentive to my voice

Listen and I will teach you the way you should go

Open your heart and I will refresh your spirit

Amen

Brothers in Arms

Take note of your brother for they are a valuable asset

There is much that can be done when brothers work together

Dont repay or seek vengeance for that belongs to God

But be careful to show kindness to all

Even those who have offended you

Remember those that don't know me

They shall see me in you

For I shine as the noon day sun even in the darkest of nights

I tell you be of good cheer for your brother in arms shall battle your corner

And when you fight together against any enemy remember I am with you for I contend with those who contend with you

So be encouraged speak well of your enemy for I love all men unconditionally.

What reward is there if you love only those who love you

So I tell you before you go to war against your mortal enemy remember that I desire that all men come to me and that none be lost.

Calvary's Love

 God loves us so much, his love had no beginning and is incredibly patient. All we need to do is respond, not try to earn what is freely offered. God has said  in many ways, I love you, I have demonstrated that love to you by all I’ve done for you. I have even sacrificed my son, Jesus, to pay the price for your sin. Now live because of my love, respond to me; love me with your whole being, give yourself to me with thanksgiving, not as a payment; live life fully, in the freedom of knowing you are loved. What amazing love God has for everyone, freely given by our creator, what a comfort and a blessing as you read these amazing words in our bible. Amen. Praise our great loving God in Jesus Christ precious mighty name, Hallelujah Amen

Thoughts

 Lord you search my heart

You know all my thoughts

When I stand

 you know it

When I sit

  You know it

Such knowledge of my days 

I am called according to the scriptures to become one with you

Not that I am perfect. 

Far be it from me to claim such a thing

But I desire to be one in thought and action

Let me think and speak and act as you do!

My Lord ! You are too lofty for me.

 You carry me to the heights

 

You are my help in times of need

Such is your knowledge about me

Amen
