Safe Harbor
 
"Safe Harbor" - it is a nautical term by the way and I just happen to be an ex-Navy girl - "is a place to come to when you've been damaged or beaten by the storms of life - it's a place of rest, refuge, and restoration - for a time - to receive healing or repair damages, and rest - in the Father's arms - no camping out here indefinitely - it will soon be time to get back out there and be about the Father's business. Yes, you can minister broken but how much more and better can you serve if you are restored and whole?"

"What a blessing was that stillness as He brought them safely into harbor." Psalms 107:30 NLT

How can you not worship Him ??? Dec 15, 2011 12:02 pm

Well, it's that time of the year again - so have to bring this out again - be blessed and Merry Christmas everyone!!

HOW CAN WE NOT WORSHIP HIM?
Written by me 8/25/2005

He is everything
He is all
He is I Am
He is the Rock
The plans He has for you He planned before you were even formed
In your mother’s womb ‒ even from the beginning of time
He is the very next breath you take
HOW CAN YOU NOT WORSHIP HIM?

You praise Him for what He has done
But you worship Him for who He is
SO I ASK - WHO IS HE TO YOU?
Are you saved ‒ then He is Savior to you
Have you been healed?
Emotionally ‒ physically ‒ financially?
Has He ever healed your broken heart or your wounded spirit?
Then He is healer to you.
Has He delivered you out of the very pit of hell? You should be dead!
Then He is deliverer to you.
Has he ever consoled you in the midst of grief and sorrow?
Then He is comforter to you.
Has He ever taken care of you and met your needs?
Then you know Him as provider.
Has He ever given you guidance or advice ‒ then He is wonderful counselor
HOW CAN YOU NOT WORSHIP HIM?

He is the Alpha and Omega
He never changes
He never lies
He was and is and is to come
He is a two edged sword
He is our armor
He is mighty in battle
He is liberty
HOW CAN YOU NOT WORSHIP HIM?

He is the Holy One of Israel
He is Emmanuel
He is the Lion of Judah
He is Yahweh and Yah
He is Abba ‒ dear Father
He is Adonai ‒ Master
He is Elohim ‒ Creator
He is El Elyon ‒ God Most High
He is Jehovah Jireh ‒ the Lord my provider
Jehovah Nissi ‒ the Lord my banner
Jehovah Shalom ‒ the Lord my peace
Jehovah Rophe ‒ the Lord my healer
Jehovah Tsidkenkenu ‒ the Lord my righteousness
Jehovah Makadesh ‒ the Lord my sanctifier
Jehovah Rohi ‒ the Lord my shepherd
He is El Shaddai ‒ the Lord our supplier
HOW CAN YOU NOT WORSHIP HIM?

His name is Holy
His name is above ALL names
He is strength
And love and peace and joy
He is the Lamb of God
King of Kings and Lord of Lords
He is Almighty God
He is the one that wipes away your tears
He is the Christ
He is merciful and just and full of grace
He is the Rose of Sharon and the Lily of the Valley
He is the bright and morning star
And so much more than mere words can say

HOW CAN YOU NOT WORSHIP HIM?

Blessings everyone!!

Anothe scammer nut ... Dec 2, 2011 12:52 pm

It's interesting - that this guy says he has looked at my profile - funny he didn't read the part where it says "I'M MARRIED NOW TO A GUY I MET HERE AT BC" over 2 years ago - what part of that don't he understand. Of course I do realize he is a scammer and didn't take the time to read my profile at all. Oh I think he wants to have kids with me also - an almost 60 year old woman!! Oh my!!

Anyway - any of you newcomers here - don't fall for this kind of crap - sorry for my language.


Hello how are are you doing i am new here looking for friend that i will grow old with but i came accross by your picture and i found a great smile on your face so i tried to read your profile and i found out that you are what i am looking for in my life and also i will like to say Wow...I Really Find Your Profile So Much Interesting ...You Are Such a Nice and a Lovely woman and It Will be My Great Pleasure to God to Have Such a woman Like You In My Life.....Because I Have Always Been Praying to God to Find a woman So Much Lovely and Sweet Like You..I will like to tell you little about me also so ....I am a Romantic, very optimistic, fun, loving, calm, understanding, very affectionate, a strong shoulder to support my partner, dedicated, loyal, good hearted, a great sense of humor, intelligent, down-to-earth man.. I know life is too short so I enjoy living life to its fullest. I like doing things unexpected to show my mate how much I appreciate her, I take commitment very seriously and expect the same from my mate. I look for someone that believes marriage is sacred and should be a lifelong commitment. I love kids in general.I love reading, listening to all kinds of music - But it really depends on the mood I'm in! I mostly go with Blues, 70s and 80s.. I enjoy biking, long walks, It's great to walk on the beach I like the Sunset Beach. its a pretty cool place to escape too after a busy week at work! So anything really to do with the countryside. Then there's going into Canada at Niagara Falls in Ontario, either for the sightseeing or the nightlife. Then I love romantic evenings in with a nice meal, Candle light Dinner with a Background Music.. I'm a keen Scuba Diver having dived around the world so I love to travel as well....I am mostly not online here so i will like to have your personal e mail address so that i can be mailing you there okay take care and have a nice day ...

No going back ... Dec 1, 2011 5:41 am

Written 4-28-05

Even as the breeze of the night falls across my face
I search for You Lord
With the new heart You have created in me
Forever - forever more

The rain passed - the ground moist
A chill in the air
But the warmth of Your breath in my heart
Keeping the light ever glowing

You give me strength Lord
Strength to go on
Strength to move on
Strength to keep going
When circumstances call me to die
When deception comes
Strong and ever present
A constant fight - a battle even in the night
Your strength keeps me steady Lord
Your hand keeps me on the right path
Don't let me waver Lord
I know there is no turning back
Way too late for that
Although the temptation is there
The easy path - the deadly path
With no life - Your Spirit gone
No way - I'm not going back
I'm moving forward
In Your love
Your love sustains me
Your breath sustains me
Your very heartbeat sustains me
And gives me life and the will to keep living

Whisper to me My Lord
I will go - I will go

Your heart Lord
What is Your heart for me
What would my heart be without You
You are my life - my heart

Blessings and may He always be your light and the center of your life!!

Are you listening ... Nov 26, 2011 1:46 pm

Are You Listening?
3-12-04, 2:45 pm

Listen to the sounds
of a bird brightly singing
or the lapping of water
gently against the shore

How tenderly you should listen
to the sound of Jesus' voice
softly whispering
as a breeze
A breeze that blows softly through your hair
Something you might miss if you weren't paying attention

Or like the ducks swimming quietly
across the lake - you might have missed
them if you hadn't looked up suddenly
and caught the motion in the water

Or you might forget to take notice of the sunlight
falling on your face - just because
you're so accustomed to it ‒
You don't pay attention to the glory of it
as it caresses your skin

He speaks to you in precious moments
such as these
He uses the sounds of nature to speak to you
an old sound - a new sound - a timeless sound - a forever sound
speaking to your heart without words - but with beauty
With the glory of His wonders
He speaks

Are you listening?

For the sounds of His voice
He speaks in many ways

Are you listening?

Renewal ... Nov 26, 2011 1:41 pm
853 Views

Renew - to restore, to make new or as if new again, to revive, reestablish, to replenish or replace, to become new again.

Did you know there's a lot in the Bible about renewal? Yup, I wouldn't lie to you! God's Word backs it up. See for yourself:

Psalm 51:10 "Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me."

Isaiah 40:31 "But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength."

Hebrews 6:6 "If they shall fall away, renew them again unto repentance."

Psalm 23:3 "He restoreth my soul."

Joel 2:25 "And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm."

Psalm 51:12 "Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation."

Jeremiah 30:17 "For I will restore health unto thee."

Luke 5:38 "But new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are preserved."

John 13:34 "A new commandment I give unto you, that ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another."

2 Corinthians 5:17 "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature."

These aren't my words but God's Words. I think God is serious about renewal and I encourage you to speak renewal over your life, your families life, your job, your ministry, every facet of your life - in the Name of Jesus.

Blessings!!

Matthew 7: (KJV)

16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit."


Are your fruits showing - good fruits - you know like in Gal 5:22-23 - love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance!
