My Beloved Speaks to Me

Let your heart rejoice in Me;
For in Me, you will be lifted high
I delight in your deliverence

There is no one holy like Me
There is none besides Me
I will be a Rock like no other.

Watch how you speak
Do not keep talking so proudly
And keep your mouth from arrogance

I will raise up for Myself a faithful priest
Who will do according to what is in My heart and mind.
Let your heart rejoice in Me.


**Adapted from I Samuel 2:1-3, 35

A Song

I am a moment, You are forever
Lord of the Ages, God before time
I am a vapor, You are eternal
Love everlasting, reigning on high

And I sing
Holy, holy, Lord God Almighty
Worthy is the Lamb Who was slain
Highest praises, honor and glory
Be unto Your name, be unto Your name

I am the broken, You are the healer
Jesus, Redeemer, mighty to save
You are the love song I'll sing forever
Bowing before You, blessing Your name

A Love Letter to my Beloved

Dear Beloved--

There are times that I am frustrated with You. Frustrated with Your timing and Your plans. Thank You for enduring with me during those times. I have learned (and will re-learn each time I get frustrated) that Your ways are better than mine. I may not see the entire picture that is being painted but You do. Everything You have done in my life thus far has been good...better than I could expect or imagine. Everytime You show me something new, that element fits like a glove.

I thank You for making me the way I am. You have given me a compassionate and sensitive heart. You have made me to be a listener, a feeler, a thinker, and through these, You have made me into a leader. I'm not like Moses or Paul and that's okay. Instead, I'm who You want me to be. I may never touch hundreds of people like Moses or Paul but You will use me to impact those that You desire and that will be just fine. All I want is to do Your will.

Here am I, sweet Jesus. Use me!
I remain,
Yours.

My Beloved Speaks to Me

"If you go where I go, if you stay where I stay
you will be my people and I will be your God.
I will let nothing, not even death can separate you from Me.

I will cover you with My cloak, providing protection and a place of refuge. For you are Mine and I am your Redeemer.
I have not left you in your despair and poverty.
I will renew your life and sustain you even to the end of your days.
For you are loved."


**Adapted from Ruth 1:16-17, 3:9, 4:14-15

A Song

In the morning when I rise, give me Jesus

Give me Jesus
Give me Jesus

You can have all this world, but give me Jesus

A Love Letter to my Beloved

Dear Beloved--

"As morning dawns and evening fades, You inspire songs of praise."

This morning on my way to work, I was blessed by the beautiful sunrise You created, which lit up the mountains. How much joy does painting a sunrise give You? When I am with You in heaven, can I watch You work? That would give me joy. Do You speak the sunrise into existence? Do You paint with a movement of Your finger?

I am reminded that just as I am fearfully and wonderfully made, so is each day. Each day has been divinely inspired...divinely created for Your glory. This simple statement should impact how I look at the world, so to speak.

Beloved, You are Master Designer...the Master Inventor. All around me I can see the work of Your hands and it amazes and humbles me. And even though I don't always understand the design that You are weaving into my life, I will trust in You. I will trust that You can see the sunrise, even when I can't.

Thank you for showing Yourself to me this morning.

I remain,
Yours

My Beloved Speaks to Me

I, your Beloved, have been fighting for you.
I will give you rest.
Just be very firm to keep and do all that I have said.
Do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left.
Only cling to Me as you have done to this day.
Love Me and walk in My ways
hold fast to Me and serve Me with all of your heart and with all your soul.
Not one of the good promises that I have made will fail
all will come to pass
