Your Journey to the Heart of God
You are invited to come on an amazing journey uniquely designed and different for each person, designed to heal any wounds in your heart.

106) BECAUSE
My child
I know that you feel powerless
Insignificant and forgotten
So many questions without answers
My ways pointless and without direction
You struggle with the cruel world
And cry out for my mercy
But I have heard and
Remembered
Because of Me
You will outlast the stars in the sky
When they have burned out
You will still be shinning
With My glory for all the universe to see
And when the sun has no light
You will be throbbing
And exploding with life
When all the treasures of this world
Have turned to ashes
You will be rich beyond belief
Because you will own the universe with Me
When the oceans are dry
You will be filled with my
Love and honor
And when the beaches are bare
All the grains of sand will not measure
Your joys and blessings
And when there is no sound it will be because
You will hear a mighty symphony of joy
Music and laughter
And when there is not time it is because
You have outlived it
I have heard you and I have remembered
For because of Me you will have all this
And even more

107) BLESSED
Blessed is the mind that first thought of me
Yes, the mind that thinks of me still
Blessed are the hands that formed me
Ever shaping me in His will
Blessed is the breath that birthed me
Who from the clutch of death stole
Blessed is the head that bore my thorny woe
Glorious the head that crushed my raging foe
Blessed are the arms that hung on the cross for me
Blessed are they that hold me now, so tenderly
Blessed are the ears that heard my cries
That hold within them my praises and sighs
Blessed is the mouth whose words delivered me from strife
Blessed is He who spoke me into the Book of Life
Blessed are the feet that brought me His grace
Blessed are the feet that stand before God, in my place
Blessed is the heart that I have broken again, and again
So very blessed is the One that loves me as a best friend
Blessed is the face that I so long to see
Blessed is His face what He will make of me
Blessed is His spirit that flames inside of me…
It is so blessed, so blessed that He thought of me
More than all the promises every kept
My covenant is sure and true
I am completely devoted
And endlessly faithful to you

108) INVITATION 0F JESUS
Come you broken hearted
See the heart of your God
For I too have been smothered
In a sea of solitude
Let the Hand of your God
Restore, renew and embrace you
Come you misunderstood
Hear the words of your God
For I too have poured out myself with eager words
Only to be scorned, ignored and forgotten
But only My words bring life
Speak them, use them, live them out
I will remember honor and cherish you
Come you who are nothing
I was as nothing too
For I was hated, despised and rejected
My purse and possessions echoed like the hollow caves
In the depths of the earth
But those who do not have my riches
Will have even less than the dust
My riches come from knowing Me
No one can contain My treasure
My riches and my treasures
Will never end
Come you lonely and unloved
I have been stabbed
By the knife of rejection
This searing pain has swept
Through My soul
I was alone, alone, alone
As if no one had ever cared or even thought of Me
I offer you the love of someone who understand all this
I hold all tenderness
Compassion and love
Come and share this
With My untold legions
Of those who know Me
I will love you forever
As they will love you
And you will love
As you never have before

109) COME
Come Holy Spirit
Lift my voice on the wings of your wind
Carry my cries and desires to
the ear of God
Come Holy Spirit
Take my laughter
To the unrestrained joy of my Savior
Show me that this merriment
Is but a whisper and a shadow of what is to come
Come Holy Spirit
The one who grew a plant
Out of the rock of desolation
Take the fruit of this plant
And make it your banquet
For those I am called to love and serve
Come Holy Spirit
Take my pebble of faith
And make it into a cliff
Of fidelity for you
A cliff that stares into the face
Of sin and emptiness
Come Holy Spirit
The one who measures my tears
Mix them into an ointment of healing
For those with whom
I can share my affliction
Come Holy Spirit
Take my lame and burdened feet
Teach them how to walk your paths
Give them the gifts of dancing, joy and celebration
Come Holy Spirit
For I am trapped in time
I do not always understand your ways
For your fullest blessings are yet to come
They are wrapped in the coat of eternity
Come Holy Spirit
For you have chosen
This small and frail self
To reclaim and build your kingdom
Come Holy Spirit
Lift my voice on the wings of the wind
Carry my cries to the ear of God
Make my heart like Jesus
Let my hands somehow
Come to touch and know the face of God

110) How To Get Closer to God
God welcomes us and always wants us to be closer to Him. He loves the humble and resists the proud. Prayer is not to change God’s mind but to know His mind.
God resists the grumbler, but He welcomes the worshipper. It’s all about God’s glory, and not about yours.
Build His kingdom every day, not yours. This is done by helping other people reach their goals or find their dreams. Do little things with great love towards every person. Ask God for the ability to enjoy Him.
God honors others more who love Him and not just serve Him. Your plans are always too little; His plans are always bigger and better.
God honors obedience to Him more than hard work. Receive, receive, receive from Him. We do this by discovering our own poverty and need.
God does not grow tired of giving to you, forgiving you or loving you. Thank God that you are His prize possession and treat others in the same way.
