Welcome family and friends to Heartstrings

Hear my cry O Lord, attend unto my prayer. When my heart is overwhelmed please lead me to the Rock that is higher than I. 

You are my tower of strength. When I am weak You are my Refuge and my Fortress. I long to see Your face. You are my dwelling place.

I behold the beauty of the Lord as I seek His goodness in my life. I will trust in Him my Master and Redeemer. He is my Living Water in this dry and thirsty land. My soul longs for the courts of the Lord.

This are random thoughts this morning as I gaze out at the bright sunrise. Birds worship. The dew is on the grasses and leaves. All due to the lovely mercy of the Lord, the Creator and Life giver.

The Lord alone deserves our praise. It does not matter how things appear. If you have made a choice to follow Jesus Christ as your Savior, your eyes will be opened to many blessings. No matter what people are saying, stay close to the Lord. He only is our hope and confidence in the time of trouble. 

I came across a little poem I read years ago. I now have it tacked on my wall by my computer. It didn't show an author. I want to share it today with you. May you be encouraged in this present time, on this path you are on. Bless you.

It is titled...The Master's Way 

"Not ours to know the reason why, unanswered is our prayer.

But ours to wait for God's own time to lift the Cross we bear;

Not ours to know the reason why: from loved ones we must part, but ours to live in Faith and Hope, though bleeding to the heart:

Not ours to know the reason why this anguish, strife and pain, but ours to know a crown of thorns sweet graces for us gain,

A cross, a bleeding heart and crown ~ what greater gifts are given?

Be still my heart and murmur not; these are the keys of Heaven."

"He will teach us of His ways, and we will walk in His paths." Isaiah 2:3

While I was outside taking in the wonderful sights and sounds of this morning I remembered a scripture from Jeremiah 15:19.

"Therefore, thus says the Lord, "If you return, then I will restore you--before Me you will stand; And if you extract the precious from the worthless, you will become My spokesman. They for their part may turn to you, but as for you, you must not turn to them." And it goes on with the benefits of following the Lord. Read on.

I am so grateful for another day to worship the Lord in my simple way. To know that His presence is always with me. I am filled with fresh oil in the Holy Spirit so I can share God's Love Letter with you and those I meet along the way. I am praying for you. I know the Lord desires to meet with you today, no matter your condition. If you have sin holding you back then by all means this only speaks of how much God loves you. Come as you are and tell Him you want Him to cover your sins and give you fresh life. His Spirit will fill you and give you understanding of The Way, The Truth and The Life. The Lord is preparing a place for you! Free from sin and death. No pain, no sorrow, no more searching. Heaven does sound pretty wonderful to me! Do you agree?

The Lord bless you and keep you in His matchless name, amen.

Abundance is...walking with the Master
