The Great Romancer

Leave a comment

I am stunned with delight at a phrase written by Lisa Harper: “We should rejoice with wonder at being romanced by the Lord of the Universe!”  It is my understanding Lisa wrote of this in her book

I think I should like to get it; yes, I think I do!

Being romanced by the Lord of the Universe. 

I’d really like to hear/read what comes to your mind as you allow those words to rest easy upon you.

Isaiah 62:5
New Living Translation (NLT)
5      . . .     just as a young man commits himself to his bride. Then God will rejoice over you as a bridegroom rejoices over his bride.
via Is 62:5;ro 15:4;zeph 3:17 NLT – Your children will commit themselves to – Bible Gateway.

Lisa said it this way: God’s perfect countenance splits into a grin, like a young bridegroom when He sees us coming.

Don’t you love that? Oh, I do!!

Romans 15:4
New Living Translation (NLT)
4 Such things were written in the Scriptures long ago to teach us. And the Scriptures give us hope and encouragement as we wait patiently for God’s promises to be fulfilled.
via Is 62:5;ro 15:4;zeph 3:17 NLT – Your children will commit themselves to – Bible Gateway.

Zephaniah 3:17 New Living Translation (NLT)
17 For the LORD your God is living among you. He is a mighty savior. He will take delight in you with gladness. With his love, he will calm all your fears. He will rejoice over you with joyful songs.”
via Is 62:5;ro 15:4;zeph 3:17 NLT – Your children will commit themselves to – Bible Gateway.

Again, Lisa’s paraphrase is — He courts us with living letters describing His great love for us and He serenades us with songs of delight and deliverance.

My goodness! that is good.  Hope it blesses you today and gives you cause to love JESUS more and cause you to read The Bible more and more.  Me too!

A Quick Hello, Christian Living, Wednesdays - praying for IDOKs by name

Good to the Use

Wednesday! 

I’m only here at our Page for a few minutes; have a sermon to listen to, phone calls to return, some other odds and ends, and errands to run mid-morning; but in all this doing I just wanted to say I prayed for each of you by name this morning. 

Be positive.

Be thankful.

This is my charge for today. Perhaps for you too.

A Quick Hello, Assurance - Promise, You Tubes

Cell Phones

Perhaps letting you in on an early morning conversation will give you a thinking point today.

Hubby: If you get out today, I need some deodorant and some shave cream.

Wife: Tell me that again when I can get to my phone and write it down.

Tell me again when I can get to my phone to write it down?? What an age we live in! Telephones that can go everywhere with you. Telephones that keep your shopping list in the palm of your hand. No need for pen and paper, just a Blackberry or Android or whatever else is out there with applicable Apps and you got it made.

Which brings me to our thinking point.

If mortal man can imagine, design and create all that we have in this 21st century, what must HEAVEN be like??!!!

If mortal man can do all this what has The Creator of the Universe done for those He has redeemed?? What will HEAVEN and ETERNITY be like for those who have repented and believed?!  I cannot even imagine. Can you? But this I know. As super fun as cell phones, laptops, and email, etc. etc. etc. are oh my goodness the joys that await us!!!

1 Corinthians 2:9
King James Version (KJV)
9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.

You are on my mind and in my prayers.

Holy Spirit Rain Down

A Quick Hello, KWT Paraphrasing

Evening

Leave a comment

Just thinking about you all on this rainy late afternoon. It was a light the candles day; not sure why, just was.  I particularly enjoyed this one as the day turned to evening.  And I remarked to myself: “Just a little light makes a big shine in a dark place.”

2 Corinthians 4:6
21st Century King James Version (KJ21)
6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

Matthew 5:16
King James Version (KJV)
16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

Be seen in Sunday School in the morning – you just don’t know whose day you will LIGHT up.
