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. 🙏🏻

Original Video Painting

God So Loved The World ~27 seconds

God So Loved The World is a 27 second scripture painting video the Lord blessed me with this past Saturday October 21, 2023.

After suffering from a severe migraine the Lord encouraged me to paint a picture of Christ with the crown of thorns, to remember that He’d once suffered violent pain in His head too when He died for all our sins. He understood my suffering and was with me. As I painted I felt His presence comforting me.
He gave me the scriptures in this video to meditate on after I felt better and could create this project ~~which I pray will encourage everyone as much as it has encouraged me, in Jesus’ name, amen.

Credits:

The Art software I used to paint the picture on my IPad is an app called Sketchbook. I used Adobe Software to add the animations and desing the graphics; I used IMovie to assemble the video and then Picollage to create a border around it.
😊 ~~I just discovered PicCollage could even create videos! What fun!


I have been too hampered with migraines to make many videos lately so am excited when the Lord does enable me with the grace to make one not only to comfort and encourage me, but to share with His children!


May this effort bless you all and remind you of His great love and sacrifice for each of us, especially if you are in a challenging situation, shadow valley, or suffering pain.


May all who read this know that you are ever in the Lord’s prayers. For the Bible says that Jesus is always praying for us at the right hand of His Heavenly Father every day and night, and He knows our every need, and His prayers are always answered according to God’s will at the right time. The Lord loves each of us as if we were the only child He had to love. He has no special favorites, for all are His favorites, In Jesus’ Name amen. 🙏🏽❤️💕

An Angel’s Heart

Detail from Peaceangelsong’s Gifts Christmas Greeting & Encouraging Card Collection “God’s Holy Angels”

Angels are important to us spiritually for we learn what God desires in the hearts of those who love and serve Him as we study His Word and reflect on what it teaches us.

From Psalm 103 we learn that one of the most important things about angels is that they are primarily God’s servants who hear God’s voice, and are always obedient to do the Lord’s will.

“Bless the LORD, ye His angels, that excel in strength, That do His commandments, hearkening unto the voice of His word. Bless ye the LORD, all ye His hosts; Ye ministers of His, that do His pleasure.”

Psalm 103:20-21 KJV

From the Bible we learn that an Angel of God always hears God’s voice and obeys His will. God’s angels love God and trust Him.

But wasn’t the devil once one of God’s Angels?

Ezekiel the prophet wrote in reference to the anointed angel who became the devil: “Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.”

Ezekiel 28:15 KJV

• What does that word perfect mean?

תָּמִים

tâmı̂ym ~taw-meem’ Concordance)

(From the Strong’s Bible Concordance

From H8552; entire (literally, figuratively or morally); also (as noun) integrity, truth: – without blemish, complete, full, perfect, sincerely (-ity), sound, without spot, undefiled, upright, whole.

Strong’s Bible Concordance

What turned this Angel’s heart against his Master and Creator?

One of things the Bible mentions was enormous vanity and pride. “Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee.”

Ezekiel 28:17 KJV

Concerning the devil, Jesus had a few things to say. In speaking to the religious authorities who appeared perfect and flawlessly righteous outwardly, yet inwardly, in their hearts they were very corrupt.

Jesus said to them, “Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.”

John 8:44 KJV

Perfect is to God an altogether different concept from what is conceived by the devil and those formerly holy angels the evil one deceived into joining him in rebelling against our Creator.

God’s idea of perfection is a far cry from what humans imagine who have been seduced by the enemy into focusing on themselves and their appearance, on what they do, and if they do it better than others; how much money they earn, and how they can earn more, and then how they can best show off their success to others.

Depending on their age many souls are absorbed with either their popularity, their looks, their health, their jobs, school, career, their family, social media, etc.

Since they can’t see or hear Christ, they simply dismiss Him as irrelevant to their lives. They will value everything the world prizes rather than believing in what the Bible says is true.

They will not seek to know and love God for themselves in a vertical, personal relationship. For deep down they have a mistrust of spiritual, unseen things.

However God treasures those spiritual qualities in the soul who will listen to His voice, trust, and obey Him regardless of what anyone says or thinks about them, or what their obedience to Him might cost them.

It is a heart that completely acknowledges who God is, seeks to abide every moment in total submission to His sovereign authority, and to the Lord’s rightful expectation of worship that is due Him from their spirit, soul, mind and body.

It combines those attributes into a heart that passionately loves and desires to worship Him more than anything else.

God is their whole reason and motivation for living.

Such a heart looks like Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

The Gospel of Matthew relates that on the Eve of His Crucifixion, in the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus was praying to His Heavenly Father and sweating great drops of blood, His temptations were so dreadful.

And Jesus went a little further, and fell on His face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from Me: nevertheless not as I will, but as Thou wilt.”

Matthew 26:39 KJV

The first commandment states, ““You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.”

Deuteronomy 6:4-5 ERV

God tries the heart His Word says. He tests us to see what we are made of. “For thou, O God, hast proved us: Thou hast tried us, as silver is tried.”

Psalm 66:10 KJV

Therefore we undergo trials and afflictions according to His Word. And when we suffer we are to rejoice.

“In this you greatly rejoice, even though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been distressed by various trials, so that the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold which is perishable, even though tested by fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ;”

1 Peter 1:6-7 NASB1999

“Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.”

James 1:2-4 NASB1995

No human will ever reach complete perfection this side of heaven. Only Christ was perfect. But Christ is always working on the hearts He redeemed with His spotless blood, and who have committed their lives to Him.

“For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus.”
‭‭

Philippians‬ ‭1‬:‭6‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

Though the Christian is saved by God’s grace and given Christ’s righteousness, the Apostle Paul reminds us that we must not continue to live in sin once we ask Jesus to be our Lord and Savior.

“So, my brothers and sisters, we must not be ruled by our sinful selves. We must not live the way our sinful selves want. If you use your lives to do what your sinful selves want, you will die spiritually. But if you use the Spirit’s help to stop doing the wrong things you do with your body, you will have true life. The true children of God are those who let God’s Spirit lead them.”

Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭12‬-‭14‬ ‭ERV‬‬

It is the Lord’s work in our lives to sanctify us within. We participate in this process through our obedience to Him. Our will must always be to do Christ’s will.

“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.”
‭‭

Romans‬ ‭12‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭KJV‬‬

God wants a soul to care what He thinks about them more than what the public or their family or friends think about them.

God is more interested in knowing that we esteem His honor, affirmation, and encouragement than the popularity, honor, and esteem of the world.

If we must have the world’s favor rather the esteem and honor that the Lord wants to bestow upon us for obeying His will, then we show Him that we neither love, fear, nor truly have any real faith in Him.

“Then said Jesus unto his disciples, “If any man will come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for My sake shall find it. For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?”

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭16‬:‭24‬-‭26‬ ‭KJV‬‬

If we do not really believe that we can hear and discern Christ’s voice so that we can learn to know His will for us, then we do not really believe that the teaching of the risen Lord Jesus Christ is true.

“Jesus answered them…My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me: and I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of My hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of My Father’s hand.
I and My Father are one.”

John 10:25, 27-30 KJV

“Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.”

Ephesians 5:17 KJV

The holy Angels of the Most High God live to worship and obey the Lord with all their heart, soul, mind and strength.

Like the Angels who sang over the fields in Bethlehem on the first Christmas.

“Glory to God in the highest…”

Luke 2:14 KJV

They worship and glorify God always in the way He directs them.

God’s Angels exist to extol the perfections of their Creator, not their own.

For the moment an Angel’s mind becomes self focused it is no longer holy, and is transformed like vain Lucifer into a devil and must be thrust from the Lord’s presence.

Perfectionism is self focused, ever working to please humans. It never glorifies God, but exhausts itself trying to appear as if it had no visible flaws.

Jesus warned the Pharisees (religious rulers) that even though they appeared morally flawless outwardly, that in their hearts they were filled with dead men’s bones. He called them hypocrites.

Satan, the once beautiful, upright anointed Angel of God, a creature who seemed perfect and without fault, until “… iniquity was found in him, ” once beheld the beautiful face of God and worshiped Him.

So also did the third of the Angels whom the devil led into a rebellion against the Almighty.

They did not remain in their position with God because they trusted and believed an unholy lie.

What had been light became dark and corrupted with evil.

Whatever we might imagine we are outwardly, if we don’t truly know the Risen Lord Jesus Christ, if we do not seek His face in private personal prayer, humbly abiding in continual fellowship with Him, listening for His voice, and know and understand by faith His Word and will, and obey it, then we are in danger of offering our Lord the outwardly perfect sacrifice of the Pharisees and of Cain, instead of the sacrifice God has asked us for, which Cain’s brother Abel, and which Christ gave to the Lord, and which found favor with God.

Both Abel’s and Christ’s sacrifices involved the absolute submission of their entire wills to God. In both cases it was not necessarily the gift they desired to give to God, but the gift God desired from them.

Jesus said, “And this is life eternal, that they might know Thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ,
whom Thou hast sent.”
‭‭

John‬ ‭17‬:‭3‬ ‭

Prayer

Heavenly Father, may You give me a humble, holy heart just like the Angels, that exists to hear Thy voice and obey Thee, to worship and extol Thy perfections, and those of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, thank You, I love You, in Jesus’ name, amen.

Meditations For The Journey

Meditations For The Journey~Original Keyboard Instrumentals © ℗ 2022 Suzanne Davis Harden, All Rights Reserved.

Meditations for the Journey~Original Keyboard Instrumentals-is the thirtieth album of published music the Lord has given me to share since 2013.


The first album the Lord gave me was God’s Rainbow Promise. That first release was to be a harbinger of the three main types of music
that the Lord would be producing through me for the next nine years: both original vocal prayer songs and instrumentals, and traditional Christian hymns.

We serve a risen Lord and Savior who desires very much to communicate with us. That is why He revealed to me that He gave me this music; He said that they are His musical conversations and that if people will take them into their prayer closets along with their Bibles and listen to them (or even just a clip) and read His Word, looking up the scripture reference the song title points to, by faith trusting He’ll speak to them, He will indeed speak to their hearts.

Jesus said, “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow me…”

John 10:27 KJV

The Lord asked me to become a musician according to His purpose and plan. I was not a musician before He dropped this beautiful gift in my lap. I didn’t know why the Lord would take a soul who cared only about music as something to listen to while creating art, and would make her into someone whom He created music through for His glory and honor.
I look at all of the music He has made through me and am astonished. I know it is the Lord’s work and not mine.

The other day He inspired me to sit down and listen to the songs on Meditations for the Journey and contemplate them during my quiet time. He had me concentrate on the music, then reference the scripture passages the song titles pointed to while praying, and ask the Holy Spirit to teach me what I believed He was saying to my heart through the music and scriptures. I took my notebook and pen, got out my bible, and listened to the songs, pausing as necessary.

I chose to focus on the title track, “Jesus is the Author of Our Faith.”

Wherefore seeing we also are compassed

about with so great a cloud of witnesses,

let us lay aside every weight,

and the sin which doth so easily beset us,

and let us run with patience the race

that is set before us,

Looking unto Jesus

the author and finisher of our faith;

who for the joy that was set before Him

endured the cross,

despising the shame, and is set down

at the right hand

of the throne of God.”

Hebrews 12:1-3- KJV

As I listened to the music I saw it in my mind as an organic triangular shape, its long perspective shooting wildly upward into an ever expanding light, which symbolized the high notes dancing on a steep mountain that kept appearing the more I listened to the song.
I noticed a pronounced symmetry in the music as the lower tones kept resounding beneath the steep mountain.

It seemed as if one had been ascending the summit of a great height, only to tumble down the keys into a dark valley where the echoes of the shadowy notes reiterated their voices in another layer of somber tones; it was a great tumble into the shadow path of mysteries indeed after one had heard so distinctly the brighter notes chiming in the airy sunshine as if they would go on in their cheery triumphant echoes forever.

And like a repeating pattern, its symmetry like a cosmic poem was reprised over and over but in a labyrinthine way so that no two phrases or paths were exactly alike. Down the valley and up the mount…only to fall into the shadows again, but one day, the crown we will reach if we don’t give up for joy lies ahead just ’round the bend…


The music reminded me of the scripture;

“And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience, experience; and experience, hope: And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.”

Romans 5:3-5 KJV


For to climb the heights of heaven and taste of its glories and joy and then fall into the depths of despair is indeed a kind of suffering that some of God’s children are appointed to in this world.

However, Christ promises to be with His own no matter where they must go on their journey with Him in this life. For Christ, the Author of our faith, has paved the way for each of us. There is nowhere we can go that Jesus has not gone first. And He will go there again with us through the Holy Spirit He has put in our hearts to abide with us forever as we abide in Him, keeping our hands in His and our eyes on Him, and not focused on this world with all its distractions.


One of the most comforting passages of scripture is Psalm 139:7-12:

Whither shall I go from Thy spirit?

Or whither shall I flee from Thy presence?

If I ascend up into heaven,

Thou art there:

If I make my bed in hell,

behold, Thou art there.

If I take the wings of the morning,

and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;

Even there shall Thy hand lead me,

and Thy right hand shall hold me.

If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me;

even the night shall be light about me.

Yea, the darkness hideth not from Thee;

but the night shineth as the day:

the darkness and the light are both alike to Thee.

Psalm 139:7-12 – KJV

I couldn’t help but hear those scriptures resonating in this music as I listened to it and was comforted.

For it sent me straight to those passages reminding me of the Author and Finisher of my faith who for the joy set before Him endured His cross, despising the shame, ever looking upward toward the Light ahead of Him by faith.

And if Jesus could endure the horrors of the cross for the joy that was set before Him, then He would help me persevere throughout my journey on this earth no matter what challenges I must face.

For Jesus Christ is a living, risen Savior, and He ever dwells within me by His Spirit who will never leave or forsake me. In Jesus’ name, amen.

This song meditation illustrates the idea of how the Lord wants to speak to us through these songs. I pray that what I’ve written will inspire you to listen to the music for yourself and let the Lord speak through them to you personally, for He surely has a unique word for each soul who takes the time to listen to them, while meditating on His Word, and praying to Him. As I wrote, the songs are His divine conversation starters.
The titles are to lead us into God’s Word, and as we listen to the songs, contemplate His Word, and pray, His Holy Spirit will guide us into the truth of what He wants to teach us.
However, We must approach the Lord by faith.


“Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Hebrews 11:1


“But without faith it is impossible to please Him: for He that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.” Hebrews 11:6 – KJV


We must want to seek Him, want to believe that He will speak to us, and believe that He will speak to each of us, not just to some of us.


It is imperative that Christians read God’s Word for themselves, and not let people tell us what the Bible means.

Jesus said, “But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost,

whom the Father will send in My name,

He shall teach you all things,

and bring all things to your remembrance,

whatsoever I have said unto you.”

John 14:26 KJV

John the Apostle wrote,

“But the anointing which ye have received of Him

abideth in you,

and ye need not that any man teach you:

but as the same anointing

teacheth you of all things,

and is truth, and is no lie,

and even as it hath taught you,

ye shall abide in Him.”

1 John 2:27 – KJV


The Word of God is the most important Book we will ever read for it is God’s revelation of Himself.

Prayer
Heavenly Father, May You speak to our hearts through these songs that are gifts from Your heart as they point to Thy Holy Word when we meditate on Thy Scriptures and listen to Thy Holy Spirit teaching us what Your Word is saying to us, for You have promised to speak to Thy sheep and You keep every promise forever, In Jesus’ name, thank You, we love You, amen.
