HIDDEN  TREASURES – THE  GIFT

 

 

A peaceful walk through the many fields of abundance in this life

Rare beauty easily seen woven into such intrigue of mystery

Flowers and butterflies

Men and women and children, ourselves;

A hummingbird sips on a backyard feeder one cold frosty morning

The eyes watch, the heart tugs at purpose and deepest meaning,

Yet, the body, the mind of the world pulls away

Lets go of these precious moments when we marvel

Stand in awe as children, child-like once more

While hands of trust take hold of what draws us near,

Riches the world cannot offer

True wealth hidden, ready to be shown,

A gift that patiently waits, quietly as early morning dew

Sparkles of jewels, silver and gold upon the earthly grasses,

Even time stands still

Then steps aside for a greater reality of an eternal crown

A kiss of Heaven’s Truth sweet upon the lips

Beauty that lasts, drapes as a delicate robe about the shoulders,

Heavenly clothing unmatched.

But those relentless voices cry out

To envy the stars, rich of the world

To desire the fame and wealth of the few

Who stand alone in pride, and often fear

Who parade appetites that widen and lengthen

Until the earth is drowned once more,

And all spirit sensitivity is forever lost!

Social media bombards with the base need for gratification

Our voice of ego that others hear,

An image to be seen for a moment;

But many have discovered the humble path

These who choose to drink from a most gracious cup

Living Water given freely

Wisdom showers down and rests within the heart

The sharpest swords flash with brilliance

The words of every prayer are heard, and answered.

Those who seek more than gold, search for true love, lasting beauty

Are in righteous embrace of the greatest Gift of Emmanuel

His Spirit of Peace within forever,

Who ask, seek and knock on His door,

God’s timeless present to all who are wiling to unwrap it.

EACH  ONE

 

 

Each one of us

Eternal qualities

Eternal destiny,

Good seeds scattered by Noble Hands

Unique in time as flowers with rare scents

Unique in place and purpose

Every fruitful beauty and strength within and about

Miraculously woven together as DNA blossoms

Mystical genetic designs with a heavenly breath

Made as a special creature of God

Singular patterns blended into singular earthly circumstances

Even new Holy Spirit creations in Messiah Yeshua!

Just as nations newly birthed

With tribes and languages

All splendid in appearance

Qualities unmatched in all the Earth

Special purposes for existence expressed artfully from above

In the greatest knowledge of the Lord of Creation,

Each nation, each land, each person

Held up in new light

While the sun rises

Growth and development in wonder

Until the majestic sun sets for common rest.

New birth into new life

As vessels of highest honor

Meant for the One enthroned

A river of purifying fire that flows out

From beneath the Glory Throne,

Holy zeal consumes;

As countless new songs of beauty are heard

Music from the heart and soul of each one

Beauty of worship moves freely on the winds of power

Lifts the bodies and spirits of those who truly listen

Who can embrace spiritual pleasure, encouragement without end,

Nations as well meant to stand in harmony

In creative balance of oneness throughout the Earth

Each one giving their gifts freely to the other

Each one receiving with a thankful heart

And returning gifts multiplied

In perfect union, in perfect freedom together

All done in honor of our God of  love and peace

Eternity set before His Throne as a crystal sea

Everyone and everything seen clearly with fire eyes of jeweled purity

The Ancient of Days before whom the Universe and each one of us will stand.

CURTAIN

 

 

Suddenly a pure white curtain of woven linen

Drawn back in Spirit revelation

Truth miraculously stands before us,

After lifelong seeking

Even mixed with many struggles and prayers

The endless search for full meaning in life,

Rich purpose for being “here and now”!

A blend of longing mysteriously mixed with inner yearning,

As only God the Father draws us to His Son

The Sovereign power that reaches far beyond the heavens

In Ways and Thoughts of our Maker

Our God of Love who truly cares

Delights in revealing Himself to the willing

First in Messiah to the Jews

Then, last to all in Yeshua

The Lord of the Universe

Creator of pure human hearts

As seen in Abraham, his son and grandson,

Our Redeemer of all mankind

King of Heaven and Earth!

Clothed in cleanest white, new creations in the Lord walk in confidence

Assurance of one perfect sacrifice

Greatest display of love through the Cross;

Now cleansed by Living Water

We stand purified by most Royal Blood

In the only spoken eternal finished work.

Divine Love in greater revelations

Draws us nearer to God;

As knowledge grows, love grows.

Yes, the ancient Jewish Temple curtain was torn

And the veil of each heart opened wide to Heaven

As our King of Truth takes His Throne

Before His Father

Within our hearts

His Body joined as one in the Holy Spirit

His flock of believers, body of disciples,

His Bride in lasting beauty.

MY  GARDEN

Garden of my delight

Good seeds planted in abundance

Watered freely

Often each with a touch of love

Just as Living Water flows from the Great Throne

Tenderness, strength nurtured deeply within

Rises in our love shared as my arms and hands reach out to you,

Just as my heart radiates with care for you

To draw near, to embrace

To hold close;

The soil made so rich

Turned, stirred and fertilized with natural purity given from above

Ah, weather just ideal with sunshine and rich moisture

As the sun shines with a blanket of warmth

The light of the day stretches long into the brilliant sunset

A pleasant breeze soothes,

Then the rain falls from the generous sky

All in  melodic times

Like a special song from innocent youth remembered

Uplifting, caressing the soul and invigorating

Oh, the moments of refreshing honesty expressed,

The listening ears, the caring eyes, words of kindness spoken

Depth of Rock solid commitment

The true love that bonds,

Bodies and souls joined

While spirits soar together

The Winds of Heaven breathe life covering all

Even the nakedness of innocence,

In greater love from the God of Greatness

Poured out upon all the Earth,

Even upon all the willing of the world;

Poured out upon each of us because we know

Such gifts of lasting beauty

Such wonders of the Heavenly Kingdom

Fully made known to us in faithfulness

From the Majestic One

The King of Faithfulness now alive in us both;

Most radiant, beautiful fields of flowers spread out on all sides

Shapes and colors and sizes beyond human imagination

Most beautiful fruit displayed by the hand of our own Creator,

His delight, our Lord of the Harvest.

EXQUISITE  HUMAN  BODY

Work of an Artist

Pleasure in the moment, pleasure in the music

Pleasure in clay sculptures, lines and curves breathed upon,

To smooth the roughened skin, muscle and adipose in balance

Ligaments and tendons, genetically driven;

Many vessels of honor anointed by Holy Oil

As the ultimate purpose spiritually revealed with eternal pleasure,

In the beauty of form

In the beauty of function

With strength of discipline in self-control.

To shower others with goodness

To be at rest in peace;

The pure colored eyes show spirit light from the soul

Clean and pure light

Along with radiant smiles that attract,

Many are drawn as delight in  life is lived out;

The sublime beauty of a small child glows

The lasting inner beauty of a mature woman draws even closer,

Certainly a Daughter of Jerusalem!

True love always brings honor to another

Honor to the greatest Kingdom

And faithful honor to the King;

The heart opens fully as a delicate blossom

Unique shape and color and scent

Exposed to the world,

Fearless, expressed boldly to the world.

Now another champion of Truth goes forth

Becomes as one who handles the Spirit Sword with diligence,

Precise brilliant movements, poetic and athletic

As a dancer and a warrior

In step, led one day, one person at a time;

Prayers so powerful

Mixed with Heaven’s incense as the fragrance of life goes forth

The captivating aroma from the Throne,

Essence of courage in confidence surrounds

Ushers in lasting beauty

Stunning beauty with honor freely shared,

Grace from above that carries this one

Attractive to all,

Most attractive to God.

lasting beauty, lasting peace, true life

ONE  JOURNEY

A peaceful walk through this world

True life from above, not below

Real life not of this world.

As we go along our own unique paths

Special, creative and artfully designed

Our circumstances sovereignly ordered,

Footsteps divinely laid out

The life we live

Choices and people met

Those loved, those wisely avoided

Each person seen and heard, spoken to,

All, everyone is weighed precisely

Honestly in the pure balance of purpose and meaning.

Nothing wasted

Not one crumb of the multiplied loaves

Everything valued, preserved;

Lasting peace is established

Lived out one step, one person

One day

One prayer at a time,

Often one chance to love, then another

And another, and another…

The narrow road we wisely travel

Sown with many good seeds,

Lasting beauty truly sprinkled all about us.
