FAITHFUL  ONES,  BY  FAITH

 

 

He stands in new strength and walks by faith

Compelled by Heaven’s Holy Spirit love

Forever steadfast along the only true Way

His Shepherd’s most narrow path for Life

Walked long ago by the One who revealed the Way, His Way;

Common feelings come, human feelings go

Yet, “perfection” somehow calls, draws from within,

Though the body seems frail and weak

Silver threads of the “Silver Cord” remain strong

Even from the first birth with Heaven’s touch.

In spite of all, I still hear the merciful Spirit Voice

He calls to my inner gift of faith-

“Press on!  Press on!  Take hold of your destiny.”

And daily I do…

Many others follow nearby, they too hear the words spoken

Read the honest encouragements written

And continue their unique path of faith in Truth.

The world and those who love it first, scoff and mock

Roaring streams from blind, intellectual cynics,

More pours out from stubborn rebels

While pride and arrogance adorn the foolish hearts of others;

But their loud sounds and crude noise fall empty to the ground.

My humble prayers offered for the few are answered,

Those who will embrace good change one day

Plucked from the fire, saved from the “second death”,

Ones who repent and fall to their knees

After sudden waves of Heaven’s revelations

Just like gracious Paul, Thomas, Peter and many others,

Emerald rainbows will encircle them like James and John

And even remnant modern Israel!

Eyes formed by the Maker will see with enlightenment

Ears made by the Creator will hear with understanding

And new Light will glow from within their being as well;

All who love the Way more than the world

All who love the Truth more than themselves

All who love the Life more than a selfish nature

All who love their Savior, their Lord more than their own life.

HIS  CREATION  SPEAKS

 

 

The mouth of an enlightened woman speaks in confidence

Words of eternal Peace shared with her brothers,

Clear understanding of spiritual things given in delight

Powerful knowledge of the Truth loved and celebrated together;

Heavenly wisdom worn fearlessly as pure white clothing,

Gracious sparkles always with jewels of revelation,

Daily at Sabbath rest in victory

At complete rest in Messiah’s triumph;

Each new day Holy Words feasted upon as Bread from Heaven

Each day Holy Words drank as Living Water,

All to prosper as one in trust before her God

Then, to gather from His immaculate garden

Exquisite colors and unique shapes,

Aromas of incense that captivate

In the perfumed essence of a prayerful moment in eternity

Now, with a radiant armful of Living Beauty

To set in worship and honor before her King,

Our Lord of Hosts.

 

MY GARDEN-9/10

HEAVEN  AND  EARTH

 

 

Whether spread across the Heavens

Or wrapped about the Earth

A rich blanket of Divine Peace settles

Most intimate hand woven tapestry of lovingkindness,

Powerful love that burns brighter than the sun

A zealous fire in the eyes of our Maker!

From the pageantry of all Creation

To the genetic make-up of every human who walks the earth,

The words and thoughts and actions recorded for eternity,

Tenderness is felt for each one;

Every emotion experienced

Every tear shed by a child,

Kindness offered while seeing the end from the beginning;

Knowledge of every fish and creature in the seas,

Sharpened perception of all the birds and animals upon the earth,

Each and every life form, seen or unseen!

The breath taking beauty of angels

Also spread abut His Heaven and Earth as brilliant stars above

Who also love and serve in gracious power and authority.

THE  MASTER’S  GARDEN

 

 

Adam and Eve wandered as one, casually in divine pleasure

At peace and at rest

The garden wonder of what their eyes beheld

What all their heightened senses feasted upon,

They walked together as crowning beauty

To all their Lord had made,

Spiritual honor thrived

Always in a shared view from above

Passion of insights more than could be imagined

What the Artist of artists had made

Intricate details with endless paths of discovery

From smaller to larger, only to become treasures

Energy wavelengths, seen and unseen

All sights and sounds, spirit clarity,

Every touch and taste and smell

And the intimate gift of love joined to each other,

Exquisite beauty and unmatched strength blended

Intuitive children of their Creator.

As new parents of all that follow,

Even as gentle vessels of kindness shown from the beginning

Patriarch and matriarch, hand in hand, heart within heart

For better or worse, through good or evil;

All now walk through the same garden of mercy,

True beauty to be revealed,

As new sons and daughters of the Merciful One!

MUSTARD  SEEDS

 

 

Small things can become great

Tiny seeds that grow very large plants

Just as simple words of Truth spoken in love

Become wonders from above unimaginable,

Things in awe too great for the human mind

A mere man in his selfish pride

Also a woman in her chosen arrogance.

Treasure discovered in a new cultivated field

Becomes a plentiful harvest,

The Master Gardener sends out many workers

Yet, much more waits to be done;

One Holy Seed planted into the soil of Creation

Explodes as a starburst into majestic abundance,

The eyes of countless souls now glow from within

Kingdom joy reaped from what Messiah has sown,

More than the stars above

Given from this Faithful One, Ruler of all,

Multiplied beyond mere numbers.

THE  LANDSCAPE

 

 

Another small cup of goodness poured out

In beauty of function

Completed beauty of form

Laid out so clearly before brightened eyes

All simply enhances what has become

And what will soon be.

Heavenly shrubs draw precise lines

A tree here and two trees there as an illustration

Artful towers of strength

Signs of royal stability;

Flower beds spread uniquely apart

Flowers glow with colors along a special enlightened walk,

Also a loving fountain and a pure flow of water

Such dynamic, creative beauty expressed

To stimulate inner delight

And broaden a sense of lasting purpose;

So much that can grow

Communicate a “Rock” solid presence

Reflects something much greater

Something better, simply shown,

Meant to satisfy deeper needs and a deeper longing

The eternal peace and order yearned for

Softened by kindness in what the senses

What the heart,

What the soul can now taste.

PRUNING

 

 

Another cup of kindness given

As heavy weights made lighter

Branches that drink energy without bearing any fruit

Are cut off!

What is practical and useful in meaning

What is committed in Truth to Kingdom efficiency

Focused on the goals of the Holy Spirit

Clearly designed for this present purpose,

Fully engaged in what honestly works

In step, led easily in mature growth

Made ready to carry a good load

Ready to bear lasting good fruit,

These stand favored, secure

Blessed from above in harvest

Blessed with new vibrant strength

New Kingdom qualities

Honor with power displayed

Everything working together as one

Character streamlined, efficient for ripened goodness

All majestic character qualities

Lifted very high above the world

In this chosen fruit,

This abundance promised.

THOSE  WEEDS

 

 

These weeds always near

Somehow sprout up

Never planted, but always there;

Diligence reaches out

Perseverance pulls them out by the roots

Endurance tosses them into a trash pile

New strength burns them with “Holy Fire”;

Weeds as dark, pesky spirit flies

Or demonic gnats that seek to ruin

Spoil at any picnic,

Like deer flies that annoy at the lake!

The garden is finally cleansed

Daily the garden is watched over

Guarded carefully

Alert eyes and quickened hands,

Nothing impure is sprinkled or sprayed,

And the garden is kept truly clean.

Only what belongs is left

What does not belong is tossed out

And remains far outside,

Gone from what the heart of the true gardener

Fully embraces.

MY GARDEN- 3/10

THE  SOIL

 

 

The soil is worked by invisible hands

A heart prepared in precise details

Circumstances foreknown

Circumstances predestined

Seemingly endless contingencies for good

As divine arrows strike each target

Angelic powers and authority delegated,

Each person chosen even before birth

Before understanding, before any choices taken;

Optimum conditions on the inside

In spite of things that change on the outside.

Truth nourishes with honesty

New fertilizers clean and pure

As the natural experiences become supernatural,

Heavenly treasures that blend into the earth

And are discovered,

Like beautiful oak trees that sprout up

Tower high, reach out wide

Certainly a planting of the Master Gardener

Who works from above

As Royal Sovereignty is revealed below.

MY GARDEN-2/10

SEEDS  PLANTED

 

The joy of planting good seeds

As Truth spoken in love

Truth in times “as a kiss on the lips”.

Much delight in expectations

Such pleasure in practical purposes,

Hope wrapped about in love for another;

This seed placed in special nourished soil

Growth already seen in Spirit visions,

A glimpse or two of the end from the beginning

Healthy wheat, healthy corn

Healthy grains and beautiful fruit!

So many from just One

A new life birthed given freely for others

Even as the early Apostles

And the many disciples with purest loyalty

Rough hands, strong hands often covered with dirt,

Faithful human spirits at work in the richest soil;

Harvest done always in honor of the Master Gardener,

Today, the only fulfilling detail we can know!
