My Beloveds, those who love Me and called according to My purpose.
I come to give you a refreshing,
Drink of Me.
Replenish your soul.
Come walk in My "Garden".
The enemy is forbidden,
He cannot enter in!
There is no turmoil, unrest or uncertainty.
Find rest and shelter.
I have all that you need.
Who is he who wants to be close?
I will draw you near.
Who is he who will be devoted
To be close to ME?

A Gardener Looks at Her Garden
While looking through old papers, I found this in my mother's Bible. It was too precious. She loved the Lord and wanted her life to reflect Him.
Is it grown thick with thistle and wild?
My life is a garden.
Your life is a garden.
Is it a waste, untilled and wild?
Like an untaught, untrained child?
Or is it good soil under the Master's Hand?
Is my soul His own cherished land?
Is it grown thick with thistle and wild?
Or has it been sown with His good seed?
What is the harvest from this life?
Goodness and love, or hatred and strife?
O Lord, take this stony ground of mine.
Make it all, completely Thine?
Only then can it ever yield,
The pleasant fruits of a godly field.
Amen and Amen.

Is He Weeping?
My eyes flood with tears and my heart broken as I see my beloved.
He is weeping.
I run to Him wanting to console.
I can not help but also weep.
Oh Jesus, precious Jesus why do You weep?
I weep for My precious ones,
My chosen ones whom I love, you see they have no time for Me.
They say they love Me but they do not come.
They are not devoted to Me but to many other things.
At one time they desired Me.
I was once their new found love.
I weep for My dear precious ones.
Nothing more I can do, I paid all at the cross,
I bought them with a price. Tell them I still love them.
I desire them and they are still Mine.
Remind them of My tender mercies and everlasting love.
Say to them to not let their hearts grow cold instead draw near to Me.
Does Jesus weep over His people today as He wept over the city of Jerusalem?
A personal visit He gave them but rejected.
He invites us to come into His presence. Love Him and adore Him. Worship Him.
PS 95:6-7 NKJV Oh come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before the Lord our Maker. For He is our God, and we are the people of His pasture, and the sheep of His hand.
He is weeping.

Restored Besides Still Waters
O God!
Weary from life's frustrations and struggles,
My own resources and abilities I question.
I feel inept, downtroddened, and unworthy.
As David cried out, I too cry out,
"Why are you downcast, O my soul?"
"Why so disturbed within me?"
Beside the still waters I find Him.
Restore my soul.
Quiet my soul with Your love.
Experiencing His wonderful love,
A smile He brings to my lips.
His love and kindness,
His beauty I behold.
Beside the still waters,
Words of praise I proclaim!
Your Majesty,
O Lamb of God,
King of kings and Lord of lords,
Holy and awesome is Your Name.
You are worthy of praise!
My precious Jesus I love you!
With Him my joy is complete.

As a Child
Lord, I want that child-like faith!
A child.......
when they talk about You or to You....
they see You.
They know You are so real to them!
Even though they do not see You,
they love You.
They are not afraid nor
ashamed to say, "I love You."
Come As Little Children
A child.......
when they talk about You or to You....
they see You.
They know You are so real to them!
Even though they do not see You,
they love You.
They are not afraid nor
ashamed to say, "I love You."
The little children come to Me.
They move about without much thought,
And say what is on their heart.
These little children with inquisitive minds,
They look and examine what is Mine.....
the hair, the clothes, the hands and feet.
All their thoughts are about play and say,
"Jesus, will You come play with me?"
As we play....
we run and jump, dance and twirl.
Oh what fun we have!
Each give their kiss goodbye,
My heart wells up inside.
I pray to the Father....
As they grow in age,
Keep their hearts strong and
May they always return to Me!

Hold On To Me Lord
Lord, hold on to me tight!
As a child, He holds my hand,
I have no idea where we go.
As a child I just follow,
Asking no questions.
Wherever we go,
I know I will be safe.
I trust Your leading, Lord.
It may be the desert we travel,
to go round and round,
until my will and desires are given up.
It may be through the valleys or to mountain tops,
but He never lets go of my hand.
I keep holding tight to His hand,
Fore I know, if I let go,
My focus can become distracted!
As I look upon His face,
His smile of assurance is all I need.
I hold tight His hand.
Lead me Jesus, I trust.
Holding Your hand, Lord
I know you are not far!
With the other hand
I carry a banner that reads,
"the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go"
(Joshua 1:9b)
