"oaks of righteousness, the planting of the Lord...": May 2014

(of Jesus) "The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me, because the LORD has anointed me to bring good news to the poor; he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound; to proclaim the year of the LORD’s favor, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn; to grant to those who mourn in Zion—to give them a beautiful headdress instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, the garment of praise instead of a faint spirit; that they may be called oaks of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he may be glorified. They shall build up the ancient ruins; they shall raise up the former devastations; they shall repair the ruined cities, the devastations of many generations." - Isaiah 61:1-4, of Jesus

3 min spoken word

As I am working hard on the grant I am writing, this spoken word came across my music player…so well timed. Talk about inspiration and motivation…to have faith in a God that carries us. We are so blessed, guys, to have Him! Hope this might encourage and lift you too! How sweet for us, who are His children, to have Him…it all revolves around Him in some mysterious beautiful life-giving way…we are journeying…getting closer and closer…and one day – we’ll be face to face. It’s gonna happen people. Not “if” - it will happen for those who love Him. When we yearn for restoration of all things – we yearn for something that He promises will happen. We yearn for the perfection of our souls and sinful hearts – we yearn for something that will be experienced one day. We will be free. We are journeying there – and I’m super pumped & thankful to get to journey alongside all of you.
