When the heart is
unmercifully torn,
Christ in us can soothe
the wounded places
or the carnality within us
can create more harm.

When mountains
Loom ominously large
In the landscape of life
Know this that
Impossibilities
Become possible
With an amazing God!
When storms are
More frequent
Than the beauty
And brilliance
Of fragrant
Spring filled days.
Know this that
Impossibilities
Become possible
With an amazing God!
When heartaches
Outweigh the beauty
Of earthly gifts.
Know this that
Impossibilities
Become possible
With an amazing God.
When tears
Are like a
Torrential rain
Know this that
Impossibilities
Become possible
With an amazing God!

To know that all things are not good, but yet all things work together for our good, is a symphonic promise of hope, comfort, and reassurance to any believer. We live in a fallen world where tragically atrocities and heart aches happen. We have been told by our Savior that the world will grow worse and worse; yet we can victoriously and triumphantly live in this transient world knowing that our Savior has given us the blessed hope of His salvation and of His soon return. But this one hope we have as an anchor for the soul whether we are raptured out of this world or whether we pass from death to life, all things work together for our good. All things that God has allowed in our lives, God promises to utilize for His glory and for His kingdom. And when we find ourselves in the darkness of a contemporary night, may we mentally practice and repeat His promise of hope to our hearts and souls.
All things work together for good!
All things work together for good!
All things work together for good!
Fellow brother and sister in Jesus Christ, you can’t get better than this Biblical, living, symphonic, resilient promise of hope, comfort and reassurance!

When there are giants in the land,
There is extraordinary celestial grace.
When there are giants in the land,
There is extraordinary divine courage
And grace given from the Great I AM.
When there are giants in the land,
There is the hand of our Triune God
Strengthening his children to stand
In an extraordinary Christ like way
As did Noah, Joseph, Caleb, Joshua, Daniel
Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego, and Esther.
For such a time as this, we because of
Jesus Christ within and without can defeat the
Goliathan and Haman like giants of our land.
When there are giants in the land, there is
An extraordinary filling of Christ’s presence
So that we can do mighty exploits for our God!
When there are giants in the land,
God calls us not to shrink down in fear,
But to stand in the divine mightiness and
Extraordinary Christ given strength and power
Of our God and become Davidic in our faith.
When there are giants in the land, may we
Let our heightened giant like weakness
Be filled with His extraordinary power so that
By faith, our every giant, shrinks down and is
Defeated and dethroned by our risen Savior’s
Magnificent strength, mercy, forgiveness and love!

As we stand under the magnificent, crystal filled
Living waterfall of God’s redemptive graces,
We realize every sinful place is exposed
And washed away with the beauty of our
Savior’s never ending forgiving love and grace.
As we stand under the magnificent crystal filled
Living waterfall of God’s redemptive graces,
We realize every single demonic lie can be
Exposed and washed away by the living
Water of His most precious holy, life giving,
Inerrant, spirit filled, words of life and power.
As we stand under the magnificent crystal filled
Living waterfall of God’s redemptive graces,
We can see His mountainous love exposed
Because of the blessed cross of Calvary.
As we stand under the magnificent crystal filled
Living waterfall of God’s redemptive graces,
We are brought to our knees with great humility
When His favorable, divine delight and love for
Us is exposed, because of our God’s unfathomable,
Unconditional, unchanging loving immensity.
As we stand under the magnificent crystal filled
Living waterfall of God’s redemptive graces,
All our tears are welcomed and exposed.
All our fears are welcomed and exposed.
All our worries are welcomed and exposed.
All our sinful mistakes are welcomed and exposed.
All our doubtful disputations are welcomed, answered and exposed.
And in the midst of it all, Christ can be heard, felt, and seen by eyes of faith.
As we stand under the magnificent crystal filled
Living waterfall of God’s redemptive graces,
We are continuously, victoriously, and miraculously
Restored, raised, replenished, made new and given hope.

I Peter 2:9 (KJV)
But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.
A stranger here on earth,
Citizens of Heaven’s splendors,
Sinners saved by grace,
Recipients of the new birth,
Embraced by our triune God,
Gloriously known by our new name
In Heaven’s royal circles of faith,
Daily and forever living in the beautiful
Palace of God’s grace,
And yet lovingly called to
Faithfully and consistently
Extend the kindness
And compassion of our God
By loving like Christ
By living like Christ
By seventy times seventy
Forgiving like Christ,
By telling others about
The glorious good news,
The royal hope
Of Jesus Christ
That lives within,
For we are His
Chosen generation,
Royal priesthood
Holy nation
Peculiar people
Being called
By our
Magnificent
Savior to be a
Contemporary
Modern day
Christ centered
Christ-like,
Love filled
Word honoring,
Grace saturated,
Heavenly minded
Biblically studious,
Spectacular
Victorious
Vivid,
Authentic,
Gentle,
Heroic,
Resilient,
Resplendent,
Servant Warrior
Of God’s grace
While here
In this exotic
Foreign land
Called earth.

Lamentations 3:22-23 (KJV)
It is of the Lord’s mercy that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.
They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.
Our Savior’s mercies are new every morning. And so I must ask myself as I go throughout my day, am I representing Christ by walking in the newness of His mercies toward everyone I encounter? Am I walking in His lavish forgiveness? Am I walking in His lavish unconditional grace? Am I walking in His lavish mercy? Am I walking in His lavish love? And if I am not walking in the spirt but walking in the fragility and carnality of my self life, the fragrant rose of Sharon, Christ within us, will tragically not be seen by others, who are in desperate need to see the living, loving, forgiving, grace and mercy laden risen, rose of Sharon victoriously living within us no matter what our circumstances may be! May we passionately pursue the source of all mercy, Christ, the ornate and beautiful rose of Sharon in our daily lives. May we be the rose not the thorn to all our sisters and brothers.
