The Way You Make Me Feel

Jesus. You’re the reason I smile. You’re the reason there is laughter and happiness for me in this world. You’re the bliss I feel in the sunshine. You’re the excitement I see in the rain. You’re the power I sense in the thunderstorms, and it gives me shivers all over! You’re behind all the weird and wonderful things I love in this world.

Thank You for giving me my eyes and my senses to enjoy the world! Thank You for giving me my mouth so I can laugh and smile, thank you for giving me my voice so I can shout these words to You. I love You Lord, And I’m so glad You’re in my life.

Nothing is Too Hard for Jesus! - Nothing!

What provides the link that transcends the bounds of time on Earth and lets you experience the eternal bliss of Heaven? It comes back to that deep and unshakable bond we share, My possession of your heart and spirit, the love we share, the spiritual plane on which our love is nurtured and strengthened, where the real you dwells and knows Me in a way that is so passionate and intimate and personal that it doesn't even occur to you to wonder if I love you, or if you'll win, or if things are going to be okay. You just know, because you know Me so deeply and intimately, you know that I love you in a way that surpasses the feelings of all your senses. My love is at the very core of your being, and you just know that there's absolutely nothing that you can't do, no battle you can't win, no test you can't endure‚ no obstacle you can't hurdle, because I'm part of you, I am in you, and I can do all these things in the blink of an eye.

Just thinking ...

... just thinking of You. I'm happy now.

I'm just sittin' here thinkin' about Jesus, rockin' as my old chair creaks
Some glad day I'll fly away when Jesus comes calling for me
It might be today, it might be tomorrow, maybe one day next week
I'll soon be done with trouble and sorrow when He comes calling for me
When Jesus comes calling for me

When I die don't grieve and cry
Lordy, don't feel sorry for me
Oh what a day, what a mighty fine day
When Jesus comes calling for me
When He comes calling for me

I might be in the graveyard walking talking to my family
Or I might be plowing in the field down yonder, just old Muley and me
Wherever I am, whatever I'm a doing, some sweet day I'll see
And band of angels in a cloud of glory when Jesus comes calling for me
When He comes calling for me

When I die just close my eyes
And lay me 'neath the willow tree
Oh what a day, what a mighty fine day
When Jesus comes calling for me
When Jesus comes calling for me

I'm just sittin' here watchin' for Jesus, rockin' as my old chair creaks
Some sweet day I'll fly away when Jesus comes calling for me
When He comes calling for me

I didn't make this post just to be worldly, You know that right Lord? I'm just thinking about You, the whole time. I'm thinking about You today, in everything I do. I love to have you with me all the day long, and then stop and look into Your face and think about You some more. You're the sunshine of my life. You make even the rain beautiful with Your sparkles, You make the storm something amazing with Your thunder and lightening! Everything around me proves Your power and Your wonder! And Your love. -- Yes, even those sunny days, when we can laugh and dance in the grass.

I say this now, not because I'm crying, not because I'm hurt or upset. On the contrary, I'm happy. And what's more, I know I'm going to be happy for the rest of my life, because I have You. Come rain or come shine, come tears or laughter, inside I'm happy. I'm in love with You.

My Forever Friend

who painted this?

alive, touchable: reality

In these moments when everybody's gone: I feel so alone, it's so dark here. There's not even a spark here to warm the cold in my soul.

I want to reach out and touch You, I want You to be real! I want to hold You, I want to know You! In a way I can feel.

Then You come alive, so alive! I know You are really here. You shine a light so bright, now You feel so near - because You are! You're really here!

I can see why You brought me to this dark lonely place, with my heart filled with so many other things, for you there just wasn't space. But now that I've felt You so deep in my heart I never want too go away - please Lord don't ever let me stray, let Us never be apart.
