PETALS IN HIS GARDEN
Listen!
Hushed. Still.
Waiting. Pulsating. Abating.
Behold! The Beloved comes.
Awaken!
Inspired by Song of Solomon 2: 8

REMNANTS FROM A LIFE! Blogging
REMNANTS FROM A LIFE! Blogging
Excerpt from the book: The Return of the Prodigal Girl by Rita Burton
Fear and Honesty
There is a healthy fear that preserves life and there is an unhealthy fear that destroys life. We need to separate them in our thinking. One is good, the other is bad.
... In many cases, fear of man and man’s approval or acknowledgement became more important (to me) than my standing alone in what God said.
(I came to understand that) ... In Christianity, God is the great Jumpmaster. He is our Lifeline. He holds the reins until we are ready. But by refusing to let go we can hold back progress. The outcome can bring remorse if we do not follow through with what He shows us. God watches us from Heaven’s gate and tells us to trust Him. God’s mouth is still moving, even if we cannot hear His words. He presses us to do the only safe thing. God is shouting, “Let go!”
POEM
Heart of the Moment
Rain drops pound the roof
Of the old and broken house.
Dreams flow in and out!

LADY WISDOM: Standing at the Gate
Soft Pastel Painting
"You're blessed when you meet Lady Wisdom,
when you make friends with Madame Insight......
With one hand she gives long life,
with the other she confers recognition.
Her manner is beautiful,
her life wonderfully complete.
She's the very Tree of Life to those who embrace her.
Hold her tight. ---and be blessed.
