The Bushel - A Personal Psalm

God you have Given me much!

I am rich! Yet my prosperity is not on paper. I'm wealthy but only in gifting, faith, and love.

If only i were a hero, yet my sacrifices are spiritual and unseen!

My faith is abounding yet only still a seed underground not having shown any green.

Who sees this real me?
Who acknowledges my strengths?

Who is witness to my true heart? And no advocate to my flaws.

Who recognizes me & values my Gifts?

Lord if you stand behind me then uncover me.

My strength is in secret, while my weaknesses are in the open for all to see!

My Child...
The world can only see you in your humble place, and the proud will not even recognize you in honor.

But I uncover hidden Glory,
and I reveal beauty in the secret places.

And I release the gifting in the hands, and I am he who unloosens the tongue!

I unlock the power in a word,
and only I can interpret the true wisdom in a proverb.

All of mine will be seen and come to be known when Christ has risen upon them.

This is my gift to the church and it shall not remain hidden.
You will come forth and your seed will bud, and your glory will be seen in the light of day.

Your faith will cash in, and gifts will be multiplied. and my love will be known as you have known my love.

Mat.5.13-15.KJV
Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.

A Dangerous Prayer!

I despondently watched a drop of water roll all the way down the window as I laid prostrate across my fully reclined seat in my car over a lake early in the morning. I had been at the lake in my car all night trying to stay warm as the tears streamlined down my face like the same streaming rain that was soaking my windshield. An unfavorable fire kindled and burned so deep within me, a pain that was almost hard to endure sunk deeper and deeper into the pit my soul, "it was an egregious rejection" My eyes glazed over as if to be amiss to all reality... I had lost everything! I lost all that I built up over the years, all that I aspired to be! My life as I knew it was destroyed, with what seemed to be no hope of restoration... Failure rung in my ears and disappointment seemed to become permanently branded on my forehead. I died that day like so many other days before it... and began getting to a point where I questioned how much more I had to suffer and how much more di...

A FIERCE RAGING LOVE!

GOD! Why do you have me here?Why is this happening to me? Why is this so hard? WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME!? Why won't they change! How much longer Lord!! When will this stop!! Bearing the battle scars of Love Warfare our deepest and raging heart cry to the Lord tends to be such, as the feeling of a pressure on our soul can torment us with crushing forces beyond our control - fighting to level our emotions and maintain our ground these are all questions that ring with the same cry and anguish in our warfare. Yet God still has the same answer to us all in this grueling pursuit - it's what he has said to us from the beginning. LOVE! We all know the story of the fierce love of Romeo and Juliet, a passion and a love so strong that both lovers took their lives to escape the fate of their enemies who sought to keep them apart. What a story of such fierce raging love! But I know of a much greater story - the story of a God whose love was so fi...

The Soul Collector

Sounds like a horror movie where a serial killer is out to take souls, or the grim reaper is out to get you. It almost reminds me of the movie final destination where death made its way back around to you to finish the job that was interrupted... and death has come to take your soul! Although this blog is not about a serial killer or the grim reaper, on the contrary today its about Gods process in our lives. That means that God is the soul collector. And he has a process in effect in our lives that is imperative to our development. HES COMING FOR YOU! The bible says to walk out your souls salvation with fear and trembling, that doesnt mean that the grim reaper is after you but it does mean that we need to fear God and the seriousness of his call. The fact that we are saved and our spirits have become brand new (1 cor. 5:17) is only the beginning of our process, there is still a soul that needs renewing, sanctifying and saving. The Bible says that our spirit is the candle of ...
