Reflections of the heart

STRAWBERRY JAM!!

Yes. This is the deep, dark secret I felt LEAD to share with my fellow bloggettes this afternoon.
I am absolutely blown away by the combination of STRAWBERRY JAM (or jam in general), butter and TOAST... I love it with a cup of tea on the patio of a french cafe. I love it on my table at home with the TV off and my family put away some place. I love it when I am at work and on my 30 minute break and I have the break room to myself and access to the tastiest jam possible. I really, really have come to have this blessed love affair with the JAM+TOAST phenomenon.

Since I trust you all with my silly and personal thoughts I will let you know that I also feel extremely "FRENCH", if such is an appropriate adjective, while consuming said delicacy.




Yesterday night was amazing. GALATIANS 6:2-5, James 1:14? i believe, John 4:11... Phillipians 3:13-14

These are the verses the Lord specifically showed me this week. He has shown me just how much HE desires to the do the work that lays ahead and the work that I can see. He wants to plant Himself within me. He wants to grow my faith so that deeds and righteous fruit may bare. He wants to do so much for me but I first need to keep my GAZE (not glare) fixed upon Him. His cross, His throne, His glory... That is where the believer is to keep their eyes in this world. NOWHERE else. When I look to myself or the world nothing but anxiety is produced and the fear of who I AM on my own can be quite overwhelming.

If I could make a small request it would be just for today. Turn your face toward your FIRST LOVE (revelation 2) and gaze upon what He has done. Not just the fact that He died for YOU! That He allows us to live in this GRACE that is sooooo undeserving. That He has given you the SPIRIT who is your COUNSELOR and Helper!!! But at what He has done in your life. And maybe even the life He saved you from... Turn to HIM!! Rejoice, again I say REJOICE in the Lord our God who intercedes and is doing nothing but PRAYING for you and me up in Heaven at the right hand of the Father :). Praise God for the miracle of life that we have been given and for the blessing of being caught up into His kingdom some day.



Be Blessed this Friday♥
