I See God In Everything

Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of Him to whom we must give account. (Hebrews 4:13)

I See God In Everything

I don't understand how so many are blind,
Unable to see God in the world He designed,
For me it's as clear as me looking at you,
I see God in everything, from my field of view.
 
Not just in Heaven and the Stars up above,
But everything He made has a signature of His love,
From the smallest microbe to the beasts of the sea,
I see God in everything, to include you and me.
 
Some say God doesn't speak to them ever at all,
But that's only because they hide behind a wall,
Just drop your earthy barrier and you will hear too,
I see God in everything, especially in you.
 
Just as I was looking at your one-of-a-kind face,
A truth came to me about the entire human race,
If you still can't see God and you want Him to be clearer,
I see God in everything, just look in the mirror.

Do You Know My Jesus?

do you know my Jesus

Luke 9:26 - If anyone is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he comes in his glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.

Do You Know My Jesus?

Do you know my Jesus?
Have you seen Him ride
Seated on a donkey’s colt,
Through the countryside?
 
People came to greet Him,
They waved their branches high
They sang praises to the King of Kings,
Who was about to die.
 
Do you know my Jesus?
Have you seen Him pray?
In the garden on His knees,
He had but one more day.
For us He bowed His head,
For us the drops did flow.
His sweat came forth as blood
His pain we can not know.
 
Do you know my Jesus?
They put Him on a cross
I could not bear to see Him there,
To feel such pain and loss.
 
The clouds began to darken
The day was turned to night.
His face was hidden from us.
He fought with all His might
 
Do you know my Jesus?
They placed Him in a tomb
I did not know if I could live.
My world was filled with gloom.
 
But what is this? Oh can it be!
He has risen from the dead!
The tomb could not contain Him.
We have victory instead!
 
Hallelujah, Praise the Lord!
My Savior lives today!
He has crossed the great divide
He has made a way!
 
With His blood He paid the price
Our sins have been forgiven!
And by His grace we will spend
Eternity in Heaven!
 
Do you know my Jesus?
Have you heard His call?
Do you walk beside Him?
Have you given Him your all?

The Woman Who Came Behind Him in the Crowd

This poem by George Macdonald is based on the story found in Luke 8: 43-48.

Near Him she stole, rank after rank;
She feared approach too loud;
She touched His garment's hem, and shrank,
Back in the sheltering crowd.
 
A shame-faced gladness thrills her frame:
Her twelve years' fainting prayer
Is heard at last! she is the same
As other women there!
 
She hears His voice. He looks about,
Ah! is it kind or good
To drag her secret sorrow out
Before that multitude?
 
The eyes of men she dares not meet—
On her they straight must fall!
Forward she sped, and at His Feet
Fell down, and told Him all.
 
To the one refuge she hath flown,
The Godhead's burning flame!
Of all earth's women she alone
Hears there the tenderest name!
 
"Daughter," He said, "be of good cheer;
Thy faith hath made thee whole":
With plenteous love, not healing mere,
He comforteth her soul.
 
by George Macdonald
 
Oh! God I pray that I too can have faith as the woman did in this poem! I think about the millions of people who Jesus has healed because their "faith made them whole." I pray that though my body may soon become weak and trembling like this woman, I may have faith set in stone like she. Though my body is weak, my faith will always be unwavering and true.
Please pass this inspiring poem on to someone who God laid on your heart to minister to.
