Seeking Love ~ Verses

God’s love is like a dewdrop,
that glistens in the sun
glowing in the warmth
from the light of His Son.

It’s a breath of fresh air,
full of the fragrance of spring
filling up the senses
with the beauty that it brings.

It’s as sturdy as an oak,
and as solid as a rock
firmly holding onto those
who gather as His flock.

It’s a taste of pure heaven,
a piece of pleasure and delight
to savor in the morning hours
and to enjoy throughout the night.

It’s as straight as an arrow,
that knows its intended mark
aiming for those who wander
to have a change of heart.

It’s as boundless as the ocean,
an endless mountain stream
flowing with living waters
that has no ridge or seam.

God’s love is as gentle as a Lamb,
so tender and so calm
for it brings comfort to the soul
like the soothing of a balm.

Seeking Joy ~ Verses

A Simple, Easy, Joy

A simple, easy joy,
a feeling full of bliss
an elation that I feel
a wonder not to miss.

A simple, calming feeling,
a happiness inside me
a serenity deep within
a heart full of glee.

A simple, warming feeling,
a joyfulness all around
a delight in every way
a tranquility to be found.

A simple, easy joy,
a feeling like no other kind,
a gladness when His peace
fills my heart and mind!

Seeking The Walk ~ Verses

I walk the walk of faith,
hand in hand with my Lord
and in my heart His word
I have put away and stored.

I trust and I believe,
He is always here with me
though at times it is dark
His light helps me to see.

When I falter in my belief,
and I’m not sure of the way
I rely on Him to be with me
and to hear me when I pray.

I know He’s always next to me,
and I’m never all alone
even though there are times
when I feel I’m on my own.

This walk of faith is simple,
but sometimes I make it hard
and when I take away the trust
my hopes get somewhat jarred.

I know I must be faithful,
to walk this walk with Him
for where there is not a doubt
His light won’t fade or dim!

Psalms 119: 129-130

” Your testimonies are wonderful;
Therefore my soul keeps them.
The entrance of Your words gives light;
It gives understanding to the simple.”

May the blessing of joy abide within you,
and your delight in the Lord be for real
may the happiness that dwells inside
bring others to know His perfect will.

and your adoration for God shine bright
may the praise you have be heard by all
so they too, can know of His saving light.

bring others to see why Jesus came here.

May joy, peace, and love,
and all the other blessings of the season

and help celebrate Christmas’ true reason!

Hello

Hello, to all of you who seek the Lord.

Isn’t seeking the Lord exciting? Isn’t something that gives you a warm and cozy feeling? It does me. When I walk away after spending time seeking the Lord, I feel joyful, I feel like the weight of the world has been taking off me. I walk away knowIng  that EVERYTHING is in His control.

One of my favorite Bible verses on seeking the Lord is Psalm 27:8 “When You said, “Seek My face, “My heart said to You, “Your face, LORD, I will seek.”

To seek God’s face, to get a close look at Him and to see who He really is, can only be done when you read and study the Bible. When I do this, I come away with so much more knowledge of His wonder and power and feel so blessed that I have the opportunity to personally know my Lord and Savior.

Won’t you please seek the Lord with me, together we can find out all kinds of new and exciting things!
