My Forever Friend

who painted this?

But why?!

Jesus Speaking:
It is hard to understand "Why." So don't try. Instead, understand "Who." Don't wonder, "Why did this happen?" But proclaim in faith, "My Jesus allowed this to happen!" Then, instead of looking at the horrible situation, you will be looking at Me, the Founder and Lover of your life. When all you see is the fact that I allowed it, then your faith is sure and your heart is encourage and your spirit is refreshed - because you know that I only allow that which is good in your life. When you have faith in the "Who," then you don't need to worry about the "Why."

ML#3639: 74

Most of you probably know this one, but to me it's the most perfect epitome of Gold, Roses, and Thorns. It's so perfect, and so relieving! Thank you Jesus for Your promises! Thank You for Your love that is so perfect and so true that we can truly trust You come what may.

Expressions of Ecstasy

You've really got it, Jesus! How You make me want to be like You. I want to dance, wild and free, and be a sample of Your Spirit and Your love. I want to leap and bound with You in a display of the freedom of the Spirit, of the new life and liberty that's in You, the boundless horizons with no chains of conformity!--No bands to hold me down, no limits, no mountains that can't be conquered, and nothing to hold me back! Thank You! I love You Jesus!

(Expressions of Ecstasy, part 2. 392)

Light of Your Love

I saw how You stooped to lift a child,
Watched how You gently, kindly smiled.
That's when I knew how much I wanted
To be part of You.
I saw how You mended broken lives
Felt how You cared and sympathized
Saw how their heartaches made You cry,
And I loved the heart of You.

And all of my hopes, my dreams, my fears,
Seem to dissolve within Your tears,
And I longed to hold You near & tell You I loved You.
And all of life's cruel and stinging trials
Vanished be fore Your gentle smile.
That's when I knew my heart's desire
Was to spend my life walking in the light of Your love.

And when You held my upturned face,
Tenderly dried my tears away,
All of my past Your love erased,
And I was born anew.
Then I saw what it cost You to be free.
I wept as I watched You die for me.
That's when I knew that I would be
Forever in love with You.

And all of my hopes, my dreams, my fears,
Seem to dissolve within Your tears,
And I longed to hold You near & tell You I loved You.
And all of life's cruel and stinging trials
Vanished be fore Your gentle smile.
That's when I knew my heart's desire
Was to spend my life walking in the light of Your love.

And when You rose again and came to me,
I knew Your love was for all eternity,
And You would come one day and take me
To be with You.

And in that Land of no more tears,
And in that Time beyond all years,
You would embrace me, hold me near,
And tell me You loved me.
Where all of life's cruel and stinging trials
Vanish beneath Your radiant smile,
And You fulfill my heart's desire,
And I'll be There forever
Living in the light of Your love.

Living in your love, forever I'll be there.

an old moment of meditation

8th November, 2006 AD

Hi Jesus. I missed You. How can I explain how much I miss You, because there's so many things I miss about You. I miss being able to run to You and find comfort in Your arms, finding solutions and answers and so much more. I find excitement when I'm with You. I miss the kewl things You used to tell me and show me when I was with You in Heaven. You were all I wanted, I didn't want to go anywhere without You, because I was happiest with You. I felt safe and secure in Your love, and oh so happy and content. Still, I know that now, in all Your love and Words, it's here all the same, and I will never have to be afraid of losing it. You're always there. Thank You.

I Need You Jesus

LeAnn Rimes singing I Need You (theme song to the film JESUS)

I don’t need a lot of things
I can get by with nothing
Of all the blessings life can bring
I’ve always needed something
But I’ve got all I want
When it comes to loving You
You’re my only reason
You’re my only truth

I need You like water
Like breath, like rain
I need You like mercy
From heaven’s gate
There’s a freedom in Your arms
That carries me through
I need You

You’re the hope that moves me
To courage again
You’re the love that rescues me
When the cold winds, rage
And it’s so amazing
’cause that’s just how You are
And I can’t turn back now
’cause You've brought me too far

I need You - oh yes I do!
I need You
I need You
