Open our eyes, Lord!

A beautiful hymn (sing with me now)

Open our eyes, Lord.  We want to see Jesus.
 To reach out and touch Him, and say that we love Him.
Open our ears, Lord, and help us to listen.
Open our eyes, Lord, we want to see Jesus.

My prayer is that the postings in this blog have helped your heart-site – that is, that your heart has seen JESUS.  Like in . . .

REAL expectations?  Oh to be truly thankful for what I have and to have REAL expectations in life.

May my heart see – the Reality of Your Goodness, dear Lord!

Leaving it there!  Contemplating all the lessons learned over the years, one of my biggest “heart” lesson is the one about “leaving it there.

May my heart see ALL THE LORD IS  as I leave it with Him!

It ain’t easy!  It ain’t easy to be satisfied nowadays.  I want to love the Lord, my God with ALL my heart, ALL my soul, and ALL my strength.   To have this be my heart’s true desire is to find contentment.

May my heart see and my desire be, in Christ alone!!  

Confession – its good for the soul.  No condemnation – none.  Sweet sister, hear me in this – NO CONDEMNATION.  HE has no memory of them – NONE.  May we know this in our hearts.

May my heart see . . .  once we confess, we are forgiven . . . truly!

Repentance, a new beginning.  So we’ve confessed.  We’re forgiven.  Now what?  It’s a new day, and we start all over.

Oh may my heart see . . . the path to true repentance.

 

Can we REALly expect to see Jesus today????  Through His Word, your heart will see!   Along with the Apostle Paul, I pray:

 

Phil 1:9-10:  And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God.

May my heart see . . . Jesus!

Right WHERE I wanna be!

Did you ever wonder what life WITHOUT God’s Presence would be like?   I mean, really truly WITHOUT HIS PRESENCE?   In my reading this week (Ezekiel) the exiles are coming home.   They are moving back to their “homeland” and to top it off, God’s Presence has returned.   Wait – what do I mean by God’s Presence returning?   Isn’t He everywhere?    Where did He go if He wasn’t there with them?   That’s a good question !   I have been thinking about that this week and the importance of “God’s Presence” in my life and in OUR lives as Christians. In the Old Testament, God dwelt (on earth) in the tabernacle first and then in His Most Holy Place in the temple that King Solomon built for Him in Jerusalem.   By “dwelling”, I mean He was there to worship and confess to.   He spoke to (and through) prophets.   He accepted sacrifices and worked in tremendous ways for His people.     Jerusalem was captured and the Jews...

May my heart see . . . a blog? What?

My sister suggested years ago for me to start a blog.   “A what?”, I said.   Well, thank you, Cindy, for your suggestion – I think I’m gonna love this !   And I hope you do too.   I want to share what my heart has “seen” and is learning through God’s Word and I want to hear from you too.   The first time I EVER went to Bible study was when my “baby” was in an infant seat.   I remember it vividly.   (He’s 25 now BTW)    My step-mom invited me; she was the leader.   I don’t know if I would have went to a study where I didn’t know A SOUL – maybe.   Anyway, I have been going to a weekly study since then regularly and LOVE IT, absolutely love it! When scripture says “ open the eyes of my heart, Lord” – what do you think that means?   Hearts don’t have eyes, I mean literally they don’t.   My step-mom used to say, “I know it in here (pointing to her brain) but I now know it in HERE (pointing to her heart).   There’s a differ...

The unthinkable

What's your "totally awful, most unthinkable thing"?  You know, the one thing that would be THE most awfulest thing in the whole world to happen.  Everyone has one, don't they?  I mean, I do.  Whether its relational or spiritual or physical - makes no difference - its the one "happening" in your life that would be the worst ever.  E-V-E-R. Its the kind of thing you don't want to tell anybody because you don't want to say it out loud, let along think about it.  But you do . . . I do anyway.  And especially now, for some DARK reason, with all that is happening around us, my mind goes there.  I don't want it to but it does. I think Peter's totally awful unthinkable was his denial of Christ - and his happened THREE times.  It must have just slayed him.  I wonder sometimes how could he have even gone on after that.  One word:  redemption. Where our unthinkable is, God's redemption is.  Our only hope - ...
