Far Above Rubies.

Far Above Rubies
by Melissa Haskin


Possessing wisdom.
Obsessing this Inheritance.
Unlocking
Treasure.
Lost and found; reward.
For who is like Him?
Fairer than the sons of men?
How could I forget?
Through Mercy
I'm not consumed.

Faithfulness benefits and befits
Holiness dresses me up.
As a temple should.
Who is waiting.
So fill.
With Glory.
Fountains for all nations.
Coming forth.

Blinders to peripherals
Dove's eyes amplification.
Default perspective
An aerial view.
The Lord God Gracious.

Gazing into Origin and Beauty.
Truth defined; from it springs forth.
Unabashed, unashamedly.
Muscle of Lovesick
Flexed.
Heart not unwanting.
Forging to bedrock
Foundations.

Diamonds to cascade.
Forget what hinders
Doubt unfitting
This chance.
Hope's Romantic
Intoxicating.

Power to run the race.

Far above Rubies!
Wisdom chanting.
Far above Rubies!
Ringing like songs and raining like anthems.
Upon the earth.

Plumb line often.
Time appointed and escalating.
Live in the living, land of being
Find One thing
Worth it all.
Fragrance.
Eternal gazing
Loving enemies
Snatching many from the flame.

Fearless Creative
Fearless.
Mounting wings.
So for dancing!
Take my hand to
Tread in the Way
Unrelenting
Pilgrim journey
Onward, upward
Windows are flooded
with His Light.
The knowledge of the Holy One of Israel.

Ruby agates adorn me.
Passion for the martyrs.
Legacy.
Give it all, hold nothing back.
The eye of the soul, the lamp of my life.
Fixing steady
On Him, Alone.

"This desire to celebrate something, to worship something; anything. It is a window to our souls. It is by observing WHAT we worship, and HOW we worship, that we discover who we really are. Many have settled for a lifetime of worshiping inferior, temporary things. Their lives reflect their pursuits. Some have aspired to worship systems of belief and practice. They are know by their RELIGION. But to worship God, Himself, is to enter into our highest calling."  

-Ben & Robin Paisely, 100 Portraits 

To whom much is given, much will be required. We are not a generation DEVOID of God's heart. He has generously shared His heart with us. He has invited us. Meanwhile, the earth is groaning waiting for the revealing of the sons of God.

We must worship Him with the obedience of our actions and in our life. "But an hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for such people the Father is seeking to be His worshipers. God is a Spirit, and those who worship Him, must worship Him in spirit and in truth."
-John 4: 23-24

This is the soundtrack today, "Where You go, I'll go. What You pray, I'll pray."

Sometimes the dreams (yet to be expressed for God, through my life) are bankrolling caches of thunder inside my heart. Its like, they jealously THUMP, THUMP, THUMP! inside of my chest, escalating, drowning out all other noise, threatening cardiac arrest, or worse yet...complacency, if left unattended; left unexpressed.

For an entire calendar year, I have wrestled with the Living God.

This morning I awoke and worshiped, as I ran in the chilly, winter morning silence. Running as a mode. A means to listen more intently. A way to bring into alliance, the redeemed spirit living inside of Me, with the One my soul loves, more and more each day. I wrestle, because I believe I already know what He is asking of me. But will I obey?

I think of when I lived in Boston, MA, pioneering with many unsung heroes of prayer. One man I haven't thought of in years, came to my mind today. A Brazilian man and his wife. They were probably in their 50's or 60's, when I met them at the Justice House of Prayer, in Boston. God had called them to Boston (from Brazil) to prayer walk the streets and sidewalks of Harvard University, silently contending and beseeching, through no accolades of man. Today, I thought, "What a honor to have met them. Truly, someone whose greatness defies this age?" For those silent years of reverie on the sidewalks of Harvard, ultimately I believe were part of the bowls of incense tipping towards breakthrough in that Beloved city of Boston. God saw their obedience as friends of His. Thank you God, for their testimony.

"I will follow You in this dance of life. I will follow You. Whatever comes my way, through any situation...Give me a heart of no compromise. Where You go, I'll go. What You pray, I'll pray."
-Brian & Jenn Johnson

After Isaiah saw the Glory of God, he heard God say to him,“Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?” Then I said, “Here am I. Send me!” (Isaiah 6)


I think of my family. I miss them. I think of my future. Its uncertain. I think of the present. Its lonely. I think of the cultural narrative that attempts to slot my story into brackets. Then I see His face. Then, I see His face.


I have found the treasure hidden in the field. I'll sell everything and buy the whole field, for that treasure. He has won my heart.


Jesus lived a life of complete surrender. He did "what He saw the Father doing." A life of complete obedience, and in so doing, He became the Lamb, the "SPOTLESS BRIGHTNESS OF THE GLORY OF THE KING."

Obedience is worship.

Soli Deo Gloria

It's Christmas Eve. 

Beauty is the shroud of glory, ready to embrace the heart that's open to receive this perfect Christmas gift.

This advent is holy. Its when we remember how the wisdom of God triumphed over the foolishness of our own ways. Its when we remember that Love made a way back to return forever to His own arms! Prodigals coming home to a banqueting table.
Eden re-populated; by the sacrifice of God, alone. 

Once upon a time, (in the very fullness of time) Love, Himself, came down for the sake of all mankind. In a humble stable, in the middle of an ancient village, surrounded by zero pomp or circumstance, in fields of sheep, agriculture and endless stars...

The King of Kings was born to become the atonement for every single one. That night, the angels left the Holy Temple made not with human hands. They came to where HE WAS. For their OBJECT OF WORSHIP was now incarnate, in the tent of flesh. Jesus, the Christ. Messiah was born! They marveled at the Father's plan! They filled the skies of the earth. A celestial luminary; an army of song! The earth was saturated with their worship; "Glory to God, in the Highest." Jesus.

We join with that same song, even now.

Recently, I learned the story of the famous symphony; "Handel's Messiah," composed in 1741. He composed it for the purpose of becoming an evangelistic tsunami to a secular audience. The impact to be on a large scale, which would have renowned excellence musically, enlisting the best voices of the time. In essence, Handel was a forerunner, harnessing the forum of the arts, for the glory of God. Perhaps it even inspired some of those great revivalists of that profound era of the First Great Awakening. It is said,

At the end of his manuscript Handel wrote the letters "SDG"—Soli Deo Gloria, "To God alone the glory". This inscription, taken with the speed of composition, has encouraged belief in the apocryphal story that Handel wrote the music in a fervour of divine inspiration in which, as he wrote the "Hallelujah" chorus, "he saw all heaven before him."

Even now, Handel's Messiah continues to move, evoke and awe audiences through the ages. Even with the recent phenomenon of "Flash Mobs" performing the "Hallelujah Chorus" in malls and large public settings. The ripple effect of this one piece of symphonic score, is still relevant and astounding, to this day.

Lately, more and more, I cry out to God for the raising up of the media army of dancers, artists, musicians, composers, film, etc. I cry out to God for this army, as part of my own inheritance. I pray, "Jesus, give to me, through prayer and through my life, an army of LOVESICK worshipping artists and musicians who will fuel the end time worship movement until You return. For the Lamb who is worthy."

That in the wicked days culminating upon the earth, that there would STILL be a witness in the earth, culminating to the glory and fame of Jesus Christ, alone!

I cry out to God, for Hollywood and the places of influence. I proclaim that which the angels sang about so long ago. "Glory to God in the Highest."

For Jesus came to set the captives free. He is the embodiment and the fulfillment of Isaiah 61.

“Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, & the power of His Christ have come..." -Revelations 12:10

And we carry the torch of His mandate. HIS good news.

Not living for 'self,' but bond-servants to the Love-King.
To God, alone, be the glory!

Soli Deo Gloria. Amen.

2011: The Game-Changer Year

Photo credits to Melissa Haskin.


The year of 2011, is ebbing into the important demarcation of 2012. 

The front lines of the battlefields in this hour, are the soils and the very affections of the human heart.

This year, truly a line was drawn in the sand, for the global people of Christ. It is a point of no-return. Lukewarm faith won't do! The stakes of love have been rising. The bar for the generation has been set high. The promise is glistening on the horizon. The promises burning inside of us, they are the foretaste of the inheritance. Embedded like seeds in our hearts. "Eternity is written on our hearts." (Ecc. 3:11) Promises for victories. Partnering with a Loving God. Yet, in this year of much tumultuous circumstance, the mission of a Holy God is being UNVEILED, to men & women of understanding, in this precious hour. Unveiled and extended in intimate invitation! How mysterious and comprehensive are His ways.

He says, "Is the issue of LOVE; settled for you? What response have you now? Will you follow Me, still? Who do you say that I Am? Because after all is said and done, only FAITH, HOPE and LOVE remain." 

He wants the hearts of men! This, is His prize! 

I am My Beloved's and He is Mine.

The Lord sits as a Refiner. Terrible and True. Righteous and Holy, all of His judgments are good. Meekness defined. Restrained strength. The Great Servant of All. Who is like the Humble King, to whom every knee will bow?

Who can endure the Day of His Coming? And who can stand when He appears?For He is like a Refiner's fire and a fuller's soap. -Malachi 3:2

"...as silver is melted in the midst of the furnace, so shall you be melted in the midst of it..." -Ezekiel 22:22

He will have His way. And He will have His Bride. Bridegroom King & Judge. Prophet, Priest & King. The Branch of the Lord has been revealed to this generation. The Knowledge of the Holy One beckons us further, further, onward, higher, upwards. Deeper into the Love of Christ.

I picture the Lord Jesus standing there by 'His furnace of Affliction.' There He is! Yes, He is a man, and yet, fully God. His back is scarred from the whips of His crucifixion. His hands bearing love-scars from the nails. Yet, He is mighty in strength! He is consistent in LOVE. He is stoking the fire of a dreadful furnace, poking the coals, provoking them to a hotter and hotter flame. He says, "I am the Truth, the Life and the Way. The only Way!!" He sweats and toils over the furnace, yet, He is unwilling to leave His post. "The Author & Finisher of Our Faith." There He stands, tending the fire, which purifies the very hearts of men. Coming forth from this furnace titled, "Holiness Unto the Lord," are the pure silver vessels, and the purest gold trophies of faith. These have stood the test of time, tried and true in His fire. Its the evidence of His very own love, having given birth in the hearts of men. Faith mingled with fire. Purified.

Love-stoked Journeys Customized from the Purifier! To each one, a measure of faith is given. But, we are not alone; for we have the Helper. He will lead and guide us, in all things. He will help us to exercise with strength, the muscle of our hearts, to the drumbeat of Love. He is the manifestation of MIGHT in our lives. The might and the will to LOVE.

He is our duration. He is our REVIVAL STRENGTH.

There is safety and refuge for the people of God, even in the midst of refining. Abiding in Him, under the Shadow of His wing. Grafted into His vine of Love, we are safe. He, Himself is the one who sustains, Shepherds and upholds us. He is all we need! I am not afraid.

He will sit as a Refiner and purifier of silver, and He will purify the priests...and refine them like gold and silver, that they may offer to the Lord, offerings in righteousness. Malachi 3:3

So, I ask us all to ponder.
When tornadoes of change, transition, & opposition bear down upon the landscape of the heart, will the heart BELIEVE, even still?

Can your heart & courage endure, or can your hands be strong in the days that I shall deal with you? I, the Lord, have spoken it, and I will do it. -Ezekiel 22:14

Steady your heart. Steady your courage.

This is the generation, which Daniel foresaw. The time of the opening up of technology, knowledge and revelation. A time of acceleration. A time of the maturing of both wickedness and righteousness, to fullness in the earth. A time of the "Great Exploits of God." The time of the end of this age is beginning to break open and dawn upon us. It is the beginnings of birth pangs that will usher the earth into another age.

...so that, in Me, you will have peace. In the world you will have tribulation, but TAKE COURAGE! I have overcome the world. (-Jesus) John 16:33

This is NO TIME for the faint of heart.

My heart throbs, my strength fails me, as for the light of my eyes, it is also gone from me... Psalm 38:10

My heart and my flesh may fail, but God is the Rock and firm strength of my heart and my portion forever! Psalm 73:26

He is our Steadfast! He is our REVIVAL STRENGTH!

The anchor in the storm. When the wind and waves rage!

Can your heart & courage endure...Ezekiel 22:14 

"Hope is a verb, as well as a noun." -Jim Stegall , IHOPU Student

Hope is the action of that which we believe. Hope is one foot  in front of the other, marching forward in a parade of Love and Faith. Hope is the resurgence of dreams! Body of Christ: IT IS TIME TO DREAM AGAIN!

For in You, O Lord, do I hope; You will answer, O Lord, My God. -Psalm 38:15

We are not alone. He is closer than our very breath. Hope is essential. Hope is the threadworn, effervescent, miracle fabric, sewn into righteous robes and mantles. Kingdom authority!

Forgiveness must prevail. Love must choose. Choose to invest, even when the risks are too great. Courage of heart is needed. Lift up your weary head!

"Jesus is offering us PERFECT LOVE and redemption in ALL areas of our life, promising HOPE and a future...The truth is that God can RESTORE our relationships and our hearts to the point where they are amazing and He, alone, can unlock the romance deep inside them."-B.W. (my friend)

Let FAITH arise. Get UP out of the ashes. RISE up, rise up! Keep going!

Jesus says, Come Away with Me! I am ALL YOU NEED!

Your Rescue.

"Tell me, lest I forget. Who I am to You, that I belong to You..." -Jason Gray

In moments of crisis, we, as humans, are prone to tunnel vision. As in, "Is there a light up there, at the end of the tunnel? Somewhere?!" We may momentarily forget all that is behind us, including past victories of previous battles fought and won. We may find difficulty in wrapping our hearts around a hope which is strong enough to bravely face an unknown or uncertain future. And in that moment, we can accurately perceive. Humility is the great equalizer. The ground is level at the foot of the Cross. We are all the same, in need of Love's saving grace. We are all in need of the Source of Love, Himself. There's no way around this. Here, the heart utters its wisest prayer, which becomes the simplest of them all. "Help." 

Hallelujah. For therein lies, "Your Rescue." 

For our rescue is not the "HOW," but most definitely the "WHO." He, who is the only One able. And since He died for us and lives again, who then are "we" to Him?

Today, may we reflect upon "Who" it is that is our rescue. And who are "we" to "Him." There's grace for this. Grace to progressively know Him, as even we ourselves are already fully known by Him. There's grace to FALL IN LOVE more and more, over and over again!

So thank God for this trial, which brings you even closer to Him!
 ...But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory... -2 Corinthians 3:18

Him who supplies rescue, is also the Initiator. Him who supplies rescue, is also the Helper. Him who supplies rescue, is also the KEEPER. Amen.

As we gaze upon Him, the veils of confusion, clouding our vision, are rent in two. "Hold me, Jesus, I'm shaking like a leaf."

I will lift up my eyes to the mountains;
From where shall my help come?
My help comes from the LORD,
Who made heaven and earth.
He will not allow your foot to slip;
He who keeps you will not slumber. Psalms 121:1-3


Then you shall call, and the LORD will answer;
      You shall cry, and He will say, ‘Here I am.’  Isaiah 58:9 


...He who overcomes will thus be clothed in white garments; and I will not erase his name from the book of life, and I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches...’ Rev. 3
...I am coming quickly; hold fast what you have, so that no one will take your crown. He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he will not go out from it anymore; and I will write on him thename of My God, and the name of the city of My God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God, and My new name. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches...’ Rev. 3


I AM THE ONE HE LOVES. 

Lest I forget.

Lovesick.

“ I was asleep but my heart was awake. A voice! My beloved was knocking..." Song of Songs 5:2

I can't stop thinking about Jesus today.

He pulls on the strings of my heart, when I least expect it, yet when I need Him most. He awakens love in me.

As Christians, we swim in a murky pond of rhetoric. It is an onslaught. My question: Has the truth translated to a heart level? Are we living; TRANSFORMED? Are we actually being changed and lit up with the light of His Words? Beyond all the noise, there is a nudging and a tugging for something real. Our hearts LONG for the eternal, infinite ocean of His very love. We are more than flesh and blood and the decrepit sin of this world. We were made for so much more. Made to love.

"All I want, is to be near you, with You, where You are. Daughters of Jerusalem, tell me if You find Him, for I am lovesick..." -David Brymer, lyrics

I don't know about you, brothers and sisters, but I've lived on a steady diet of rhetoric for a number of years. What I really want most, is for the scab of complacency that threatens to cap my heart into dullness (in the stream of daily life) to be ripped off in one fell swoop. This, by the tenderizing of the very Spirit who draws me! That I would be wounded and struck; over and over again, by the very Beauty of Christ! What He did. How He died. How He rose to Life. Bridegroom, King and Judge. The Righteous One. Beyond that, I want to find that I simply RETURN, to my First Love, always. Because He is worthy. He is the Love which truly satisfies. He is ever living to intercede, ever reaching out in kindness and intimacy beyond our comprehension, ever living to draw us. He reaches out, but will we reach back?

Tonight, I strolled out onto the nearby golf course and sat under the stars. I sat in silence, taking in the vast canopy. But it was the Holy Spirit who initiated the conversation. I felt the veil between heaven and earth (the same veil between my heart and His) had become thin. I could almost hear the footsteps of Jesus sandals...pat, pat, pat. Coming to sit down next to me. We sat together under the stars. I felt His love winning me over again. I guess to me, those actions equate with the definition of a Bridegroom. One who is willing to fight for my heart, beyond the challenges and the distance. Persistence in love. The weight of His love seemed to dominate any doubts or distractions that might have arisen. It was the kind of weighty silence that is pregnant with peace and familiarity. The kind where the air is thick with honey and glory. Slowly, a tear fell. I heard my heart whisper, "I miss You. Come back soon, Jesus."

"Pain shatters our phony attachments and faulty dependencies, shows us the depth of our need and invites us to discover His Beauty and be changed." 

-Shelley Hundley, IHOP-KC

He says, "In that day, you will no longer call me Master, but instead, ISHI (husband.)" -Hosea 2:16

Yahweh become a man.

I just read this book of a little four year old boy, named Colton Burpo, who died, went to Heaven and then returned to tell of it. He was deeply struck (even at age 4) at the Beauty of Jesus. He described Jesus with "markers." (His little four year old way of describing the scars he saw.) He told his daddy, "Jesus had the most beautiful eyes. Dad, they were sooo pretty." 

Vicki Smith, a writer, wrote of Colton's story. How an impression of another 4 year old's painting (who had seen Jesus and painted Him) resonated with Colton. (I included Akiane's painting here.) 

Colton Burpo

I became acquainted with the work of Akiane through the book, Heaven Is For Real by Todd Burpo. 4-year-old old Colton visited heaven and when his parents realized that he truly had been given a special gift - time with Jesus – they showed Colton dozens of paintings by masters and illustrators – there was always something wrong…

Akiane Kramarik

Todd learned that there was a girl – that started seeing visions of heaven at age 4 – her name Akiane Kramarik. when Todd showed his son Colton – a realistic painting that Akiane had done at age 8 – this is how it played out…

“what is wrong with this one?”
He turned to the screen and for a long moment said nothing.
“Colton?”
But he just stood there, studying. I couldn’t read the expression.
“What’s wrong with this one, Colton?” I said again.
Utter silence.
I nudged him in the arm. “Colton?”
My seven-year-old turned to look at me and said, “Dad, that one’s right.”

Akiane wrote a poem as she painted Jesus' face. This line seems to articulate what I am trying to say:

"That night the rain, was running after me. Each drop showed God's face. His face was everywhere... I wrung out the love to make the red." 

-Akiane, Age 8

My prayer: Jesus, it is really ALL ABOUT YOU. We need You. You love us. This is paramount. This is EVERYTHING. It is not about our inadequacy, or our assessment of ourselves or others. That is called, pride. It's about the Beauty of Jesus and the vantage point from His Love. Seeking You; First. Help us, Lord. Thank You, Jesus. Amen."  

-Melissa Haskin

Though We See Dimly

"But the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn, that shines brighter and brighter until the full day." Proverbs 4:18 

It is accurate to say that many are experiencing trials and transitions, and the issue of authentic faith in Jesus, at a heart level, is being forged and formed to the depths; becoming paramount in this day. From the ashes and rubble of society, throughout history, is a Church who is growing in maturity. She is called the "Beloved of God."

Lately, the evidence is mounting that "though we have not yet seen Him, we love Him." It is only when we "come to the end of ourselves and our ability," that we truly discover real strength. Even corporately, the dust is settling, and the sweet fragrance is emerging.  Rising. The banner of love over this tribe reads, "TRUST and HUMILITY." As we come up leaning, we are more in love than when we first began. Truly, He who is Faithful, will finish what He started!

But, yet, much is still unclear. "For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known. And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love." 1 Corinthians 11:11-13.

"The crown has fallen from our head; Woe to us, for we have sinned! Because of this our heart is faint, Because of these things our eyes are dim..." Lamentations 5:16-17

Reflecting upon recent writings by Jon & Jolene Hamill of Lamplighter Ministries (apostolic, prophetic intercessors, who traverse America, re-digging wells of revival, history, and destiny for this nation, from the place of prayer.) Jolene wrote of a recent vision, in which she saw George Washington.

VISION OF GEORGE WASHINGTON—JUNE 14   “Reviewing the incidents of my administration, I am unconscious of intentional error; I am nevertheless too sensible of my defects… Whatever they may be, I fervently beseech the Almighty to avert or mitigate the evils to which they may tend” --George Washington, Farewell Address 

This morning in prayer, the Lord granted a very unusual prophetic experience. I saw a vision of George Washington. This heroic general and first President of the United States was standing tall in refined colonial garb, with a stern countenance--courageous but clearly unsettled.
Then Washington turned to me, and with tears in his eyes said, “I only saw in part.”

Eyes of a Jealous God     This vision was an answer to a decade-old quandary before the Lord. George Washington was a godly man, and the foundations of our Nation have greatly prospered by his wisdom. History clearly shows he was given to prayer at key moments—as was his mother, a devoted intercessor.
However, Washington was also a Mason. The tragedy of Freemasonry is its inherent idolatry, veiled at first, detested by our Savior. In the eyes of a jealous God, this unholy alliance has become one of our nation’s greatest “covenant conflicts.” And the consequences have been debilitating for generations to come.

Beyond our Frame of Reference       How could the “father of our country” have embraced such a dichotomy? The plea within this vision settled the matter in my spirit. “I only saw in part.”To his credit, Washington perceived the danger of the illuminati, and famously warned against its doctrines. He saw in part. And beloved, we do too! Lets ask God to make us aware of idolatry and sin that we have yet to perceive—beyond our current frame of reference.

News headlines read of earthquakes in unexpected and unusual places, like Washington, D.C. It is almost as if, there is something bigger going on. As if, like Romans says, "all of the earth is groaning, crying for the revealing of the manifest sons and daughters of God." As if the world MUST be shaken, that which is shakable, so that, only that which is UNSHAKABLE can remain. Then awakening of hearts by "en masse," in the wake of hundreds of years of prayer, culminating in the revealing of the Son of Man.

"In that day, the Branch of the Lord will be beautiful and glorious." Isaiah 4:2 

"Take me into the Beautiful, the Knowledge of the Holy. Awaken Love in Me."-Melissa

The Global Church, the very Bride and Body of Christ. Surely she is maturing in love, even now, unto that day when fullness comes, when she is presented unto her King, (Matthew 22:2) with no spot or wrinkle (Eph. 5.) Surely, the epic battle of good and evil that rages in the earth, even now, is not in vain. Surely the Ecclesia, the Church, Herself, is learning to come together, in unity, under the Headship of the Son, (Psalm 133) operating in authority. Bringing the Kingdom in every sphere. This life is but a prelude. BUT THOSE WHO KNOW THEIR GOD; will live out great exploits in the earth, for the Glory of the Risen One! (Daniel 11:32.)

I am very hopeful, this morning, as I think upon Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our very faith. I am hopeful this morning, as I think upon Holy Spirit, our Great Helper, who leads us, and teaches us ALL things. I am hopeful this morning, as I think about my brothers and sisters in the Lord, and the generations yet to come. I am hopeful as I meditate upon the kindness and severe holiness of my Beautiful Abba; Father of Lights. I am again lifting up my prayer, joining to a chorus of voices saying, "Come!"

"Your Love is the Light, Filling My Eyes, Jesus." -Kim Walker, Jesus Culture, Father of Lights

All who look to the Lord will be radiant. Bouyant in hope. Let us keep pressing on. Though we are frail, and our heart is weak. God is the strength of our heart and portion forever.

Though we see dimly, and prophecy in part, let our eyes be filled with the exponential light of knowing Jesus.

"For the path of the righteous grows brighter and brighter unto the full day!"
