Your love is an ocean that I am drowning in. I sink into its depths with great delight. I inhale it and become intoxicated with your goodness and mercy. Your love flows eternal – waves that constantly beat at the stony cliffs of our hearts. Wave after wave until the walls erode and crumble at the insistence of your love.

Dance with Me, Father!
[Reposted in memory of my Dad (1943-2016) who is now dancing through the universe with our heavenly Father]
Dance with me, Father!
Let me stand on your feet as we twirl through the universe.
Let us laugh as we round the stars hand-in-hand.
Let us sing to the galaxies as they glisten in unspeakable splendor.
Let me lay my head on your shoulder as the dance draws to an end.
Let your lullaby of love draw me to sweet sleep.
Then dance with me again, Father, in the universe of dreams.
Love Letters from Jesus: Unity
I love you with an everlasting love. A love that will not die and cannot be defeated. You live in me; I live in you. Come to the fullness of understanding our unity. I challenge you to fully open yourself up to my love. I’ve demonstrated my love for you at the cross. I’ve demonstrated my love for you through the Holy Spirit. This is enough, but I long to give you even more. The fullness of the Spirit is available to my children. Long for it, and pursue it. Seek and you shall find. I give only good gifts to my children. It is not impossible to know me. Take time to seek me. I am waiting for you – ever eager to meet with you. I love you in all truthfulness, all faithfulness. A love forever.
Love Letters from Jesus: Undying Love
My Beloved one, I love you with an undying love. A love the grave could not conqueror. A love your sin and rebellion could not conqueror. Relish my love. Let me ravish your heart. I cherish you. My love will never, ever break your heart. I pick up the pieces others have left. I mend every tear, every hurt, every worn and tattered place. The world doesn’t understand such love. But it is real. Come and experience a pure, joyful, unconditional love and acceptance. The Father waits for the prodigal heart to return to Him. I come to draw you into our embrace.
Home
The starting point? I don’t know the starting point. The result? Yes, I am all too familiar with the result. Fear, anxiety, depression, illness, confusion – a long list of dysfunction. Amazingly, despite my journey of self-destruction, my Father continued to sustain, preserve, and guide me to His destiny.
My eyes unveiled, dawn breaks forth, freedom calls me to new territory. New territory in the Kingdom of God – set aside especially for me by my glorious Father. He’s been waiting for my return. He never once stopped looking, scanning the horizon for me. “Father, I’m home!”
From the Heart of a Child – a Journal and Conversation with Father
This is something a little different and a bit personal. It is journal and conversation with our heavenly Father told from the perspective of a child.
Today I got lost. I couldn’t find my way home. Dark. Cold. Rain. My tears mingled and merged with the rain.
“Papa, where am I? Have you forgotten your little girl?”
“Child, I will never by any means leave you or forsake you. I love you with an everlasting love, and I am the light of your feet. Child, look up! Your deliverance is at hand.”
I got saved today. Lying in the grime all alone, my tears ran out. But someone beautiful picked me up, washed away the grime, wrapped me in warmth, and mended my tatters.
“Papa, how? Why?”
“My little lamb, how could I not search for you and find you and bring you home? I sent my beloved Son, because I love you. I gave him for you – to save you, to heal you, to love and protect you.”
I received a beautiful, glorious robe today. Jesus gave it to me. It’s called the Robe of Righteousness. He gave it to me for free, but it cost him so very much. He bought it for me because he loves me.
“Child, wear the robe always. You honor and glorify my Son when you accept the gifts he gives you. Be consumed in our love.”
I discovered a great treasure today – Me! I am like a treasure chest with marvelous treasures hidden inside waiting to be brought out. Papa, showed me this story about the Kingdom of God. It is like a man who found a great treasure, and sold all that he had to purchase it. Jesus gave up everything to purchase me, because I am of great value.
“It is hard for me to understand, Papa. I don’t feel worthy?”
“My jewel, you are worth the best of heaven coming to earth to save you. No one is “worthy”, because all have sinned and fallen short. But you are of great value and worth it!”
