Five Minute Friday, Friend!

{Let the joy begin}

Love for you to play along —

go to: http://lisajobaker.com

 where ALL belong

!

***

You. You. Yes, you, too —

are a friend of mine.

Although I have not met you

I know you are divine.

*

When I think of  you — I see God’s full intent.

You are completely loved. In His image as is meant.

*

I see your fullness.  I see His glory.

I see the wondrous story

&

 I choose to see it despite the matter —

I choose to see it despite the “worlds” chatter

for

each

&

every

one

of

us

is

made out of THE same stuff.

*

Think of what this world would be

if we loved one another as true friends indeed.

Instead of displaying  judgement & blame

 we truly saw God’s image we would be ashamed

of the manner we view our neighbor —

Was there a hint of this in Christ’s nature?

Think, dear friend, of how you choose to love.

It’s not a choice — 

It’s His Holy Presence we are speaking of.

It’s found in You. You  & especially YOU dear one!!!

You are God in expression.

So worth my love.

Five Minute Friday!!!

Jumping right in!

Today’s Prompt?

You guessed it:  jump!

***

Don’t be afaid.

Don’t be alarmed.

Jump right in – there is no harm.

*

Grace is there – upholding you.

In all you say —

think

&

do

!

*

Look beyond what frightens you.

Jump into all that is true.

Feel the Master’s holy presence –

it’s right where you are –

taken up residence.

*

What more could you want?

What more could you ask?

God is right where you are —

performing the task.

*

Allow God to do what is His to do.

Jump!!!

Grace

there

supporting

you

It was Fall

when the package of seeds called

 {Grace Illustrated}

was opened;

lovingly

they were

sewn

each & every day.

Uncertain of their variety

yet certain of their perennial vein

{God}

I

awaited the arrival of Spring.

Now Spring

I begin to see

God’s unmistakable hand

bringing forth such beauty & bounty in all.

{Grace Illustrated}

coming to life

in

such

unexpected

ways

.

For this.

For each one of you.

I give thanks.

&

so it is.

Five Minute Friday –

Here.

Now.

Go to:

all the love & support you receive may be habit forming!

All that is needed is at hand –

 HERE

The Power

The Presence

The Intelligence

that

God

IS –

is

HERE

now

.

The One & Only Substance & Source

of

ALL –

is

HERE

now

&

as

I

accept

this

Truth –

I

feel

the

ease

&

Grace

that

Feeling these sentiments

Such

perfect

assurance

that

ALL

is

WELL

.

HERE

NOW

.

Inviting you to rest in this blessed state with me.

} The Lord {

{not me}

but

}The Father within me{

will

{not might}

perfect

{not make it so – so}

that which

concerneth

 me

!

Such joy relying upon this statement of Grace.

Such joy knowing that all is in place.

Infinitely guided! Clear the direction!

Once surrendered to God’s holy perfection.

Being one with the Father

{as stated in John}

Being the vehicle

to get His work done!

The Lord perfecteth all that concerneth me!

This the Grace!  My soul set free!

Weeks go by so quickly.  It is Friday once again. 

Time to allow my hand & heart to sing
