BUTTERFLY @ My daily readings......

Todays i read my commitment psalm again out of the Message version of the bible...

Psalm 27

A David Psalm

 ¹ Light, space, zest— that's God!
   So, with him on my side I'm fearless,
      afraid of no one and nothing.

 ² When vandal hordes ride down
      ready to eat me alive,
   Those bullies and toughs
      fall flat on their faces.

 ³ When besieged,
      I'm calm as a baby.
   When all hell breaks loose,
      I'm collected and cool.

 ⁴ I'm asking God for one thing,
      only one thing:
   To live with him in his house
      my whole life long.
   I'll contemplate his beauty;
      I'll study at his feet.

 ⁵ That's the only quiet, secure place
      in a noisy world,
   The perfect getaway,
      far from the buzz of traffic.

 ⁶ God holds me head and shoulders
      above all who try to pull me down.
   I'm headed for his place to offer anthems
      that will raise the roof!
   Already I'm singing God-songs;
      I'm making music to God.

I read this after i came across this video of an "Butterfly Story"

Picturing my spiritual growth as the birth of an butterfly.........

Being thankful for the struggles and the breakthroughs in my walk with the Lord.....

Every time i read psalm 27 it boosts my heart and today this translation made it speak new and  afresh to my heart again

Vers 4-5 so true

 ⁴ I'm asking God for one thing,
      only one thing:
   To live with him in his house
      my whole life long.
   I'll contemplate his beauty;
      I'll study at his feet.

 ⁵ That's the only quiet, secure place
      in a noisy world,
   The perfect getaway,
      far from the buzz of traffic.

Fearles Friday ~ PRAYING>>>>>>>The Kitchen: God's Abundant Table~

Good morning my friends It's Fearless Friday and our host is at "Free Spirit Haven"
Last week i missed making an blogpost due to bussyness and not blogging last week so much
I pray that all is well in your world
let's pray together and lift up all the request up to the lord and join hands together in prayer.
Let's hold on to the promises God gave to us.
We look forward to healing,restoration.
We have only God to cling to.


This morning i read an good post "Up Words from Max Lucado" and want to leave you with this 
Have an good day in the Lord and an blessed weekend.


Week of February 19
The Kitchen: God's Abundant Table
by Max Lucado

"Give us this day our daily bread..."

Your first step into the house of God was not to the kitchen but to the living room, where you were reminded of your adoption. "OurFather who is in heaven." You then studied the foundation of the house, where you pondered his permanence. "Our Father who is in heaven." Next you entered the observatory and marveled at his handiwork: "Our Father who is in heaven." In the chapel, you worshiped his holiness: "Hallowed be thy name." In the throne room, you touched the lowered scepter and prayed the greatest prayer, "Thy kingdom come." In the study, you submitted your desires to his and prayed, "Thy will be done." And all of heaven was silent as you placed your prayer in the furnace, saying, "on earth as it is in heaven."
Proper prayer follows such a path, revealing God to us before revealing our needs to God. (You might reread that one.) The purpose of prayer is not to change God, but to change us, and by the time we reach God's kitchen, we are changed people. Wasn't our heart warmed when we called him Father? Weren't our fears stilled when we contemplated his constancy? Weren't we amazed as we stared at the heavens?
Seeing his holiness caused us to confess our sin. Inviting his kingdom to come reminded us to stop building our own. Asking God for his will to be done placed our will in second place to his. And realizing that heaven pauses when we pray left us breathless in his presence.
By the time we step into the kitchen, we're renewed people! We've been comforted by our father, conformed by his nature, consumed by our creator, convicted by his character, constrained by his power, commissioned by our teacher, and compelled by his attention to our prayers.
The prayer's next three petitions encompass all of the concerns of our life. "This daily bread" addresses the present. "Forgive our sins" addresses the past. "Lead us not into temptation" speaks to the future. (The wonder of God's wisdom: how he can reduce all our needs to three simple statements.)
First he addresses our need for bread. The term means all of a person's physical needs. Martin Luther defined bread as "Everything necessary for the preservation of this life, including food, a healthy body, house, home, wife and children." This verse urges us to talk to God about the necessities of life. He may also give us the luxuries of life, but he certainly will grant the necessities.
Any fear that God wouldn't meet our needs was left in the observatory. Would he give the stars their glitter and not give us our food? Of course not. He has committed to care for us. We aren't wrestling crumbs out of a reluctant hand, but rather confessing the bounty of a generous hand. The essence of the prayer is really an affirmation of the Father's care. Our provision is his priority.

I love You, Lord, And I lift my voice.

"The Story of St. Valentine"

St. Valentine was a Christian back when it was against the  Roman law.There was a law that  everyone had to worship the  emperor. Christians worshiped only Jesus.  That seemed strange to the people in  Rome.And any time something went wrong  back then, folks needed someone to blame.

The emperor had  Valentine beaten with  sticks because he would not worship the emperor. Valentine didn't fight  back because that's not  the way of Jesus. So Valentine was thrown  in jail.

Valentine's jailer was  called Asterius. He worshipped the emperor like everyone else.  But Valentine wouldn't  stop talking to him about Jesus. He sang about Jesus; he prayed to Jesus. Asterius started to get interested. Now Asterius had a blind daughter. "If your Jesus can heal my little girl, " said Asterius,"then I'll believe in Him."

Valentine prayed and the child got her sight. And Asterius was so  happy  that he and his whole  family became Christians.

"MY TRUE VALENTINE"

Jesus is my true  Valentine. His heart was  pierced for me. I cannot tell why He loved me so well, But He proved it on Calvary

THAN SING MY SOUL SATURDAY ~ YOU are not ALONE....~

You're Not Alone

I search for love
When the night came and it closed in
I was alone
but you found me where I was hiding
and now I'll never ever be the same
It was the sweetest voice that called my name
saying

You're not alone
for I am here
let me wipe away your every fear
My love I've never left your side
I have seen you through the darkest night
and I'm the one who's loved you all your life
All of your life

You cry yourself to sleep
cause the hurt is real
and the pain cuts deep
All hope seems lost
With heartache your closest friend
and everyone else long gone

You've had to face the music on your own
but there is a sweeter song that calls you home
saying

You're not alone
for I am here
let me wipe away your every tear
My love I've never left your side
I have seen you through the darkest nights
And I'm the one who's loved you all your life
All your life

Faithful and true... Forever
For my love will carry you....

You're not alone
for I... I am here
let me wipe away every fear... Oh yeah
My love I've never left your side
I have seen you through your darkest night
Your darkest night
And I'm the one who's loved you all your life
All of your life

I love to see the thoughts of the artist at the back of the song

An simple version with gitar and vocal is also beautiful and touching

Living Fearlessly in 2010 – Part 2 or The ‘What Ifs…’~ Receiving P-P-S~

“And when he got into the boat, his disciples followed him. And behold, there arose a great storm on the sea, so that the boat was being swamped by the waves; but he was asleep. And they went and woke him, saying, “Save us, Lord; we are perishing.” And he said to them, “Why are you afraid, O you of little faith?” Then he rose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm.” ~ Matthew 8:23-26 (ESV)

 

‘Imagine your life wholly untouched by angst. What if faith, not fear, was your default reaction to threats? If you could hover a fear magnet over your heart and extract every last shaving of dread, insecurity, and doubt, what would remain? Envision a day, just one day, absent the dread of failure, rejection, and calamity. Can you imagine a life with no fear?’ ~ Max Lucado

Can I imagine a life without fear? Can you?
Are you battling any “what ifs…” right now?

This is what i read in PART 2 of " Living fearlessly in 2010" @ "GRACE ALONE"

Imagining an Life without Fear??
I believe we as humans have fear put in us since the beginning of time...........NOT BY GOD but by the deceiver........our enemy who wants to rob what God intend for us........


In the bible i heard you can find for EVERY DAY OF THE YEAR an phrase with "FEAR NOT" ( he reference to not having fear)

365 times

" FEAR NOT"

God's Word commands us this

The only fear in the Bible is the fear of God. Fear is the enemy of confidence. Fear not means don't run.
(Joyce Meyer Do it Afraid).

 

God gaves us the

solution

JESUS

CALLING 

on 

HIM!!

When  those thoughts are crossing my mind

WHAT IF

" I can't make end meets end of the month"

" I get an sickness"

"I can't take care of my kids"

" I can't do my job anymore"

" My daughter/son makes the wrong choices"

" I can't.........."

Name it...........

We need to go on our knees calling out to Him

Who gives

PEACE

POWER

and

STRENGHT

I remember an time in my marriage .......

Mother of young toddlers

Feeling insecure as wife and mother.......

One day the thought crossed my mind to speak out only the 

WORD JESUS

Because i felt even to tired to pray

( i was deceived because the enemy was making me think that i can't pray well when feeling anxcious and tired)

But only saying the WORD 

closing my eyes

or 

even

crying and shouting it out.

HE HEARD

He is faithfull and hears

"Call unto Him, and He will save you out of the bondage of fear.."

Romans 10:13
for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."

Tomorrow FRIDAY is an special day set apart by Bloggers.
It is  FEARLESS FRIDAY

The "home" is at "Free Spirit Haven"
Let's go on our knees and receive P(eace) -P(ower)-S(trenght)

How to Celebrate February 14 Every Day of the Year : "PLAYING THE QUARTET"

Want this button? The “Us” Factor

This month, your challenge is to share how you and your husband make each and every day of your marriage special. What are your daily relationship rituals? How do you nurture the “us” factor? Tell us the big or little things that make your marriage sing like a fine-tuned violin. A few examples:

This is the question asked at CHRYSALIS by E-mom

I was not planning to make an post ,that is also the reason i am so late in joining ....
But while looking around what i missed in those days i was not online due to busyness...I came across this topic......


The question asked made me wonder..

"What is it THAT makes each and everyday of my marriage SPECIAL and what are the big and little things that makes my marriage sing like a fine-tuned violin"!!??

I must tell you i was laughing while  picturing my marriage as an instrument.....

Well the sound we played in those nearly 17 years was not sounding  always like an fine-tuned violin!! ( Or playing an quartet on the piano..)
Looking back i see us making sounds that scared us and probably our kids maybe also the loved once around us.......We even wanted to trow away the instrument......


But we both can thank God now on our bare knees for knitting US together and FINE-TUNING our instrument of marriage........
The sounds we are playing are tunes of

1. ACCEPTANCE of eachother for who we are. Give the "wanting to CHANGE THE OTHER" to God in PRAYER.
2. Showing INTEREST in eachother opinions and LISTENING while communicating. Not believing anymore that our way is the high way.
3. Surging for "The LOVE LANGUAGE " of the other

Those where/are some things that helped us....

What i initially fell in love with about my husband is his character to be PASSIONATE and HONEST.
This stayed in our whole marriage. In the times we where not well tuned the devil tried to use those character traits for the worse but. We conquered Him to submit to eachother and to God in prayer and let our life be led by Him........

Is see his passion now in when he works hard daily and make long days because He cares about his family

I see his passion when he calls me frequently.

I see his passion when he serves me breakfast in bed to make waking up in the morning easier for me because i am really "a night owl"


I see his passion to care for us when he wants to cook in the weekend or even early mornings or midnight when he comes late home......I do not see it anymore that he is not liking my cooking but he wants to add his skills to mine......


Because of knowing i can rely on what he is saying because he always speaks out of his heart......
I started to learn to listen more attentively and take his advice or do something with his opinion because our husbands are the once who are the closest to us and know us without our 'masks" on.......


My husband loves me to spoil him WITH ATTENTION when he is around
Making time....planning time........not always putting our kids first!!


In communication making clear i hear and i understand him....giving compliments or speaking out appreciation, frequently for the simple things we take for granted!


I can say now full hearthedly " I LOVE MY HUSBAND and I KNOW ( and i know that i know....) HE LOVES ME"!!


You all know i love to put alot of verses on My Journey and love to add the verses E-mom put in her blogpost about verses about KISSING.....
It made me laugh because the child in us made us keep on kissing and longing for kissing an very important part to stay fine-tuned...


So to read those verses made me praise God for His wisdom found in His word!


1. The slobbery kiss…
But Esau ran to meet Jacob and embraced him; he threw his arms around his neck and kissed him. And they wept. (Gen 33:4)

2. The cheek peck…
“Greet one another with a holy kiss.” (Rom 16:16)

3. The passionate kiss…

"She took hold of him and kissed him and with a brazen face she said…" (Prov 7:13)
4. The woodpecker…
“Wounds from a friend can be trusted, but an enemy multiplies kisses.” (Prov 27:6)

5. The tender kiss…
"Then Jacob kissed Rachel and began to weep aloud."

6. The grab 'em by the beard (but no biting) kiss…
“Joab said to Amasa, ‘How are you, my brother?’ Then Joab took Amasa by the beard with his right hand to kiss him.”
(2 Sam 20:9)

7. The kiss of humility…
As she stood behind him at his feet weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears. Then she wiped them with her hair, kissed them and poured perfume on them. (Luke 7:38)

8. The “Dahlingk, I’m home!” kiss…
"Greet one another with a kiss of love." (1 Pet 5:14)

9. Blowing kisses…
"And my heart became secretly enticed, and my hand threw a kiss from my mouth." (Job 21:27)

10. Kissing in the dark…
“Let Him kiss me with the kisses of His mouth, for your love is more delightful than wine.” (Song of Songs 1:2-4)

WFW ~ GOD'S FAVOR more worth than...........~

I love God so much my friends how He is talking this age in time to our hearts and want to bring His message to us and the world!


This morning my mind was going over the daily things and was bussy at home...
I came to sit overhere with my cup of coffee taking an break and was thinking " Today is wednesday, what verse and image shall i put up for "WFW""? " Shall i join or shall i not join"?
I was more leaning not to this week because i felt the pressure to go further with the job i was doing. ( My cup of coffe was finished..LOL)


Than an song on an internet station from Kirk Franklin caught my attention...
" Silver and Gold....I rather have Jesus..."

Like i heard an voice saying THIS MESSAGE you must picture today........" Do YOU agree with this what this artist ( brother) is singing"?

God touched my heart with this because He knows EVERY thought we have........

Because the whole morning i was re-arrange the house looking at our furniture ( belongings) and thinking.....that material wise we have fare lesser than maybe 10 years ago.......And i was wondering than despite this i am so at peace and know are SURE that all will be restored again........

I could not comprehend or bring it under words THIS realization but knew I have PEACE so God is in all of this...( Emanuel...God with us...)

And not even an hour further He speaks to me and i know to you because He wants to bring this message to His children.....

My favor is on your life, wonderful things will happen to you and for you. Favor will take you where nothing else can take you. Favor can open doors and prevent calamity. Favor can help you do more with less. Favor can make a way where there is no way! 

He sent me to look for an image and verse and i found this picture and message in this devotion  ( also an good read full of encouragement and wisdom out of God's Word)

My friends be blessed this WFW

A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favor rather than silver and gold.  Proverbs 22:1 AMP

 Surely he has borne our infirmities and carried our diseases; yet we accounted him stricken, struck down by God, and afflicted. Isaiah 53:4

 You know that he was revealed to take away sins, and in him there is no sin. 1John 3:5

Redeeming God, you offer abundant life to all your children. We long to
receive your pardon and protection. Fill us with faith to believe in
your total redemption, even as we struggle to understand the good news
of your all-embracing salvation.

Thank you, Father, for doing the impossible — your Son bears my sin. What a gift for me that my ugly sin is what Jesus takes, while I get his beauty in return! I’m sorry that I’ve failed to speak of all that he has done for me. Today remind me what a friend I have in Jesus!  Amen.

John 15:16 Bernice has been chosen and appointed by Christ to bear His fruit.

Bernice didn't choose Me, but I chose Bernice, and appointed her, that she should go and bear fruit, and that her fruit should remain; that whatever Bernice will ask of the Father in My name, He may give it to her.

Titus 3:5 Bernice is washed and renewed by the Holy Spirit.

Not by works of righteousness, which Bernice did herself, but according to His mercy, He saved Bernice, through the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit.

I Peter 2:9 Bernice is a member of a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God's own possession.

  Bernice is a member of a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God's own possession, that Bernice may show forth the excellencies of Him who called her out of darkness into His marvelous light.

I John 2:28 Bernice  has boldness and is not ashamed.

Now, Bernice should remain in Him, that when He appears, Bernice may have boldness, and not be ashamed before Him at His coming.

YOU ARE CHOSEN!!!

I am chosen, I am free

He said more 

Bernice Is Forgiven.

John 5:24 Bernice has passed from death to life in Christ.

Most assuredly I tell you, if Bernice hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, Bernice has eternal life, and doesn't come into judgment, but she has passed out of death into life.

Rom. 8:1-2 Bernice is forever free from condemnation.

There is therefore now no condemnation for Bernice because she is in Christ Jesus, because Bernice doesn't walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made Bernice free from the law of sin and death.

Rom. 8:31-34 Bernice is free from any condemning charges against her.

What then shall we say about these things? If God is for Bernice, who can be against her? He who didn't spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for Bernice, how would He not also with Him freely give Bernice all things? Who could bring a charge against Bernice , because she is one of God's elect? It is God who justifies Bernice . Who is He who condemns? It is Christ who died, and more than that was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God and makes intercession for Bernice.
