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!

The Joyces of My Life

Have you ever had someone in your life who truly showed joy, no matter the circumstance?  How about someone who has made a profound influence?  I can honestly say that I have had two, and they both have the name "Joyce" - hence, the title of this post - The Joyces of My Life. First of all, Joyce ( my stepmom) came into my life when she married my dad.  My life was pretty unstable with my mother, but we all made the best of it.  Once I graduated from high school, I moved in with Dad and Joyce. Life happened, I got married, had some kids, you know the drill.   When I think back, there's nothing specific I remember, except  her constant-ability.  She was always there for me.  Period.  When you meet someone who lets you into their heart, bears her own heart and soul, while introducing you to Jesus, your life changes.  At least mine did.  Her love for Jesus and scripture was evident and contagious.  I wanted in - all...

Loved less.

I am a spiritual lesson seeker.  At least once a week, I find a spiritual lesson in something - whether its an occurrence, or when I'm reading my devotions.  Sometimes its in worship.  Most times, though, its every day life, the normal, day to day grind, that makes me stop, take notice and ponder. By spiritual lesson, I mean a "heart" lesson.  Something God tells me, shows me, or teaches me.  I have to smile when I think about it because its usually SO SIMPLE.  You know what I mean?  And because I take everything (literally) "to heart" , these spiritual lessons are life changing.  Sorry if you think I'm being slightly dramatic here, but to me, they really are. Deuteronomy 6:5 says, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength."  To me, that's pretty much impossible.  Yet, I pray it. And I truly want it.  But I can't.  I just . . . .  can't.  I'm too full of mysel...

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...
