He Has Shown Thee, My Soul

God Has Shown Thee, My Soul

God has shown thee, oh told thee, my soul

What is good, what He wants, has not He?

But to do what is just, show mercy, be kind,

And with God on thy path walk humbly.

God has spoken to thee through His Word,

Does He not ever speak through His Law,

His commands ever speak and teach us His ways,

And tell us walk humbly with God.

God has shown thee, Oh shows thee, my soul,

Ever speaks, ever sings through His world,

All that He’s made, tells of His grace,

His justice, mercy, and love.

God showed thee, once showed thee, my soul,

His measureless kindness to all

When He sent His one Beloved Son

To die for the sins of the lost;

To redeem every soul through His spotless blood,

By bearing our sins and shame on the cross,

Though never a sin committed the Son,

He bore the price our redemption would cost;’

This was the love of our Creator,

The lost through His Son restore to His heart

That we might as friends with Him to trod,

Humbly each day on our path with God,

In Jesus’ Holy Name, Amen.

What’s in a Signature?

My Lord and Savior Jesus Christ asked me to sign all the works He gives me to share with His Children this way as a testimony of His Gospel: Copyright © my name: *Jesus redeemed my soul and owns its copyright by purchasing it with His spotless blood on the cross, I am now His blood bought redeemed child, a holy temple of the Most High God according to 1 Corinthians 3 and 6. “Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own? For you have been bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body.”1 Corinthians 6:19-20 NASB1995

The Lord said that I am His workmanship through whom and with whom He creates all His works that He might be glorified in and through me and produce fruit for His heavenly Kingdom. I did not choose Him, He chose me to go and bear fruit for Him, and I could not bear fruit apart from Him and to abide in Him and then and only through my Indwelling risen Lord and Savior within me could I be able to produce eternal fruit to the glory of God the Father inspired by His Holy Spirit.

Jesus said, I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing. You are My friends if you do what I command you. You did not choose Me but I chose you, and appointed you that you would go and bear fruit, and that your fruit would remain, so that whatever you ask of the Father in My name He may give to you.

This I command you, that you love one another.” John 15:5, 14, 16-17 NASB1995

The Lord said I was not to ever be ashamed to attach my name to my Savior’s name, I was to hold on fast to His name and never stop professing His name for there was salvation in no other name under the heavens.

Jesus said, He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.”

John 3:18 NASB1995

“…let it be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead—by this name this man stands here before you in good health. He is the stone which was rejected by you, the builders, but which became the chief corner stone. And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved.””

Acts 4:10-12 NASB1995

“always giving thanks for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God, even the Father;”

Ephesians 5:20 NASB1995

“Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father.”

Colossians 3:17 NASB1995

“‘I know your deeds. Behold, I have put before you an open door which no one can shut, because you have a little power, and have kept My word, and have not denied My name.”

Revelation 3:8 NASB1995

“that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on Him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon Him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Romans 10:9-13 KJV

*The Lord Jesus spoke to my heart that I would honor Him through my obedience to show my faith and belief in Him by confessing that He is a risen Lord and Savior named Jesus Christ and that He does indeed live inside of my heart through His Holy Spirit inspiring my works as a reborn Christian, risking whatever opinion people may have of me for doing this so long as I would not displease my God by disobeying Him. The Lord requires we love Him and desires His approval more than the favor of man. In Jesus’ Name, amen.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, search our hearts and minds, correct us in any way where we have gone astray and fallen short in our love for You, our faith, our gratitude, our honesty, our hope, our faith, our willingness to witness to Thy salvation to be a testimony in this world of Thy great love in giving Thy only Son to die to save us from eternal death, to show that we truly believe You are not a fairy tale in a world that has shut You up in the genre of myths and fantasies and all who believe in You to be labeled as losers and fanatics. May You renew all hearts who have lost their first love for Christ and renew their faith and revive hope and passion and zeal for the Lord, oh bless all hearts and restore each of Thy precious children, and encourage Thy children to know how much you love them unconditionally, in Jesus holy name, thank You, we love you, Lord, amen.❤️

You are precious to God, so am I~

~He made us all, He loves us, no matter what race, color, gender, age, rich or poor ~Jesus died for all.

Although we may disagree, we shall all meet one day in eternity on equal grounds before Him. Let us walk in love, honor, and respect, In Jesus name. God bless you. Amen. 🙏🏻

God Will Be Waiting

Featured ~ Suzanne Davis Harden

Most people assume that when someone becomes a Christian that their lives will be a glorious paradise afterwards.

That it will be as if Christ had come and whisked them off to Heaven and they will henceforth have no more troubles in this life.

But my walk with the Lord has been just the opposite.

And from my study of scripture, the Gospel teaches that Christians should expect suffering as a normal part of their journey with Christ.

One is either called to suffer or to serve those who are suffering.

There are no two ways about it.

Jesus said, “And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after Me, is not worthy of Me. He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for My sake shall find it.” Matthew 10:38-39 KJV

All God’s children are equal and the Lord has no favorites.

Jesus said, “““…You are all equal as brothers and sisters…Whoever serves you like a servant is the greatest among you. People who think they are better than others will be made humble. But people who humble themselves will be made great.” Matthew 23:8-12 ERV

I live with an autoimmune illness that causes me to suffer from chronic daily migraines. These have been all but unbearable in the past few months. But for the grace of my precious Savior, I could not survive them.

When Christ saves a soul, it is not to take us out of this world, but to help us overcome it through His power, strength and grace.

Only Christ’s presence within me enables me to survive through the darkness of this illness.

Any artist or photographer who works primarily with graphics or photography software will be familiar with a function known as the invert tool that reverses an image from light to dark.

During severe migraines all of the light goes out of my heart and it’s as if I have been transposed into a shadowland of darkness.

I cry out to Christ to reverse me back into His world of light and love where there is peace, hope, and joy.

For in the inverted world of darkness there is no joy, hope, or peace, only intense suffering and pain.

Oh Jesus, I pray! Guard my heart from the world of darkness in this place of trouble and fear and pain.

And Jesus comes and holds my hand. He is with me in the storm and guides me safely through.

For His Word promises, “…Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for Thou art with me; Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.” Psalm 23:3-4 KJV

And He keeps every promise forever. Psalm 146:6

He promises “… I will never leave you; I will never run away from you.” Hebrews 13:5 ERV

“Be strong and be brave. Don’t be afraid of those people because the Lord your God is with you. He will not fail you or leave you.””

Deuteronomy 31:6 ERV

God brings the soul who trusts in Him through their trials.

He has proved Himself faithful time and again as my saving strength.

No amount of prosperity, fame, money or anything material will purchase peace, joy, or health.

If one comes to Christ seeking Him for material blessings they will be sadly disappointed. For He is not found in secular things that can be lost in the blink of an eye. I lost my health in an instant and my world was upended in the prime of my life. Never would I have suspected that I would lose something I had taken so much for granted.

Christ is a spiritual God who will be there for the soul even when they have lost everything else in this world.

For the world and everything we see around us is passing away, and when it is gone, God will be there waiting for every child who believed, hoped, and trusted in Him all along.

Jesus said, “These things I have spoken unto you, that in Me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” John 16:33 KJV

In Jesus’ name, amen.

This is a prayer poem that I made this morning in my journal after suffering from a horrible migraine. Once the Lord got me through the storm He helped me make this graphic so I could share this prayer. I pray He will use it to bless others who suffer through the shadow valleys as I do, in Jesus’ name, amen.

A Christmas Eve Prayer

December 25, 2020 ~ Suzanne Davis Harden

A Christmas Eve Prayer

Lord, please heal my loved one
Walking now with Thee
On a narrow, thorny path
Dark and shadowy…

Lord, please heal my loved one
Hold, I pray her hand,
Fill her mind with peace
Give her strength to stand
In faith upon Thy promises
Renew her hope in Thee,
May she feel Thy Presence,
Around her like a seal.

Sing to her, Lord, in her heart
Like angels long ago
Sang to the shepherds in the fields
About the Christ foretold…
Sing to her like the angels
About Thy holy peace
That You, Lord Jesus were and are
And ever to us bring…
When we let you in our hearts
To cleanse and heal our sin
Lord, heal us all this holy night
Hearts blind and deaf within.

And may we sing Thy praises
For Thy great mercy
For Thy everlasting love
And life eternally.
Lord, please heal us all
And heal my loved one too,
Whose lamp lies in the shadows
Who’s love burns strong for You.

Lord, please heal my loved one,
This Christmas may You raise
Her up as if it’s Easter
Thy resurrection grace,
Our song of hope and faith,
In Jesus’ holy name, amen.

Heavenly Father, please heal Mama, in Jesus’ name, amen. Thank You, I love You.

The First Christmas

And it came to pass in those days,
that there went out a decree
from Caesar Augustus,
that all the world should be taxed.
(And this taxing was first made
when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)

And all went to be taxed,
every one into his own city.
And Joseph also went up from Galilee,
out of the city of Nazareth,
into Judea, unto the city of David,
which is called Bethlehem;
(because he was of the house
and lineage of David:)
To be taxed with Mary
his espoused wife,
being great with child.

And so it was,
that, while they were there,
the days were accomplished
that she should be delivered.
And she brought forth her firstborn son,
and wrapped him in swaddling clothes,
and laid him in a manger;
because there was no room
for them in the inn.”
Luke 2:1-7 KJV

And there were in the same country
shepherds abiding in the field,
keeping watch over their flock by night.
And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them,
and the glory of the Lord shone round about them:
and they were sore afraid.

And the angel said unto them,
“Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy,
which shall be to all people.
For unto you is born this day
in the city of David a Saviour,
which is Christ the Lord.
And this shall be a sign unto you;
Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes,
lying in a manger.”

And suddenly there was with the angel
a multitude of the heavenly host
praising God, and saying,
“Glory to God in the highest,
and on earth peace, good will toward men.”

And it came to pass,
as the angels were gone away from them
into heaven,
the shepherds said one to another,
“Let us now go even unto Bethlehem,
and see this thing which is come to pass,
which the Lord hath made known unto us.”

And they came with haste,
and found Mary, and Joseph,
and the babe lying in a manger.

And when they had seen it,
they made known abroad
the saying which was told them
concerning this child.

And all they that heard it
wondered at those things
which were told them by the shepherds.

But Mary kept all these things,
and pondered them in her heart.

And the shepherds returned,
glorifying and praising God
for all the things that they had heard and seen,
as it was told unto them.”
Luke 2:8-20 KJV

Jesus is Circumcised

And when eight days
were accomplished
for the circumcising of the child,
his name was called JESUS,
which was so named of the angel
before he was conceived in the womb.

And when the days of her purification
according to the law of Moses
were accomplished,
they brought him to Jerusalem,
to present him to the Lord;
(As it is written in the law of the Lord,
Every male that openeth the womb
shall be called holy to the Lord;)
And to offer a sacrifice according
to that which is said in the law of the Lord,
A pair of turtledoves,
or two young pigeons.

And, behold,
there was a man in Jerusalem,
whose name was Simeon;
and the same man
was just and devout,
waiting for
the consolation of Israel:
and the Holy Ghost
was upon him.

And it was revealed
unto him
by the Holy Ghost,
that he should not see death,
before he had seen
the Lord’s Christ.

And he came by the Spirit
into the temple:
and when the parents
brought in the child Jesus,
to do for him after
the custom of the law,

Then took he
him up in his arms,
and blessed God,
and said,

“Lord, now lettest thou Thy servant
depart in peace,
according to Thy word:

For mine eyes
have seen Thy salvation,
Which Thou hast prepared
before the face of all people;
A light to lighten the Gentiles,
and the glory of Thy people Israel.”

And Joseph and
his mother marvelled
at those things
which were spoken of him.

And Simeon blessed them,
and said unto
Mary his mother,
“Behold, this child
is set for the fall
and rising again
of many in Israel;
and for a sign
which shall be
spoken against;

(Yea, a sword shall pierce through
thy own soul also,)
that the thoughts of
many hearts may be revealed.”

And there was one
Anna, a prophetess,
the daughter of Phanuel,
of the tribe of Aser:
she was of a great age,
and had lived with an husband
seven years from her virginity;

And she was a widow of about
fourscore and four years,
which departed not from the temple,
but served God with
fastings and prayers
night and day.

And she coming
in that instant
gave thanks
likewise unto the Lord,
and spake of him to all them
that looked for
redemption in Jerusalem.

And when they had performed
all things according to
the law of the Lord,
they returned into Galilee,
to their own city Nazareth.

And the child grew,
and waxed strong in spirit,
filled with wisdom:
and the grace of God was upon him.”
Luke 2:21-40 KJV

Love

Featured ~ Suzanne Davis Harden

“And this commandment have we from Him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.” ~ 1 John 4:21 KJV

Love each other,” Jesus said,
“By this they all shall know,
That You are Mine, and in thy heart
I have made My home.”

Love each other,” Jesus said,
“This is My command,
You show the world you love Me
When you do the things I ask.”

Jesus said who loves Him
Will obey His word
The one who doesn’t love Him
Dishonors their neighbor…

For there are two commandments
The greatest one of all
Is to love with all thy heart
And soul the Most High God,
The second one He said,
Is love thy neighbor too,
As you love thy very self
To them so you must do.

Whatsoever you shall do
Unto the least of these,”
Said Jesus in a parable,
“Ye do it unto Me.”

In Jesus’ name,
Amen.

Scriptures For Meditation

A religious leader asked Jesus, “Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
Jesus said unto him, “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart,
and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.’
This is the first and great commandment.
And the second is like unto it,
‘Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.’
On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.”
Matthew 22:36-40 KJV

“And the King shall answer and say unto them,
“Verily I say unto you,
“Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.”
Matthew 25:40 KJV

“He that hath My commandments,
and keepeth them,
he it is that loveth Me:
and he that loveth Me
shall be loved of My Father,
and I will love him,
and will manifest Myself to him.

Jesus answered and said unto him,
“If a man love Me, he will keep My words:
and My Father will love him,
and We will come unto him,
and make Our abode with him.

He that loveth Me not
keepeth not My sayings:
and the word which ye hear is not Mine,
but the Father’s which sent Me.”
John 14:21, 23-24 KJV

Jesus said, “This is My commandment,
That ye love one another,
as I have loved you.
Greater love hath no man than this,
that a man lay down his life for his friends.
Ye are My friends,
if ye do whatsoever I command you.”
John 15:12-14 KJV
