Without light the traveler is both lost and fearful. Without eyes to see, there seems no hope. The steps forward seem as risk, and backward no gain. Reaching forward into blackness, stepping small that there would be no fall. For those without God, so it is their way, clutching to one another, speaking together with false chatter, that the way of Read more…
Protection is not of caution, but of faith. No man can guard from all directions. From each there are foe and danger, but he who trusts, evokes the greater shield. Much worry is of exposure, of nakedness to the attack, shieldlessness to the arrow- then with worry, even greater exposure. For as one spins for safety in one area, yet another then Read more…
Who assigns value? Is it of the clay to assign its own, or of the potter? And if the potter chooses to create a vessel of great worth, is it always to be adorned as such? Many a shelf contain vessels of beauty – gold and dusty for lack [of] daily purpose. Is the vessel then not of value? Or the Read more…
For this I came, that you would know the Father. In precepts above man, in them – love for man. Look to the light, the great creation that abounds, that you would know the grandeur of God and again His love, for the creation exists for love of man. In man there is placed the capacity to love, to give, and to Read more…
Without love of others, your vision of yourself is clouded. Those who walk in selfishness, do not experience life in full. Loss of riches fills the sleepless heart. Gain owns the thoughts of the day. Years flee, along with the life contained within. Forgotten or traded, names for numbers. He who labors for the witness of men, and gains that Read more…
Grace to you. Amidst trial, amidst fault and sin, My grace abounds, but only for a time. I call through My Spirit whom the Father calls to Me. I Am Jesus the Christ. I call many, but few respond. Some enter, but not by Me, and in the end do not receive. I know My sheep. You know My voice. Do Read more…
There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end, leads to destruction. The counsel of My Spirit speaks to those nearing this destruction. It is not without notice this call. Heeded not, the pain of loss is felt again. The obedient instead, give prayers of thanksgiving, for deliverance is theirs. Do not turn from the Read more…
No greater than that which comes from God. Man cannot understand his own actions. Desperate for control, but even within himself, has little. Faith needs no control. True faith brings peace even in unspeakable calamity. The suffering soul rests as his heart trusts in He who has ultimate control. I call many to act, but many more to pray in faith, and Read more…
It does not have to be. The weight of sin adds greatly to trials already difficult. The toil of man is of his equipping. I do not ask of one to carry two, or he who can go ten to traverse twelve. The strength given to a man is sufficient for his journey. Even in want of strength, by My Read more…
Abundance and scarcity are Mine. Famine and the overflowing, the seasons of want and plenty, come and retreat by My right hand. The wind and the calm, the wave and still, great storm and open sky, gentle breeze and torrent – each brought to life and extinguished again, falling and rising as My melody continues, that My plan for men Read more…
