Grapes are DeliCioUS ! but they don’t begin that way. If you touch a young grape you will discover they are very firm and if you bite down upon it – your mouth will pucker from the sourness inside.

While these young grapes hang on the vine from sunrise till sunset something happens…as the warm rays from the sun touches them; the hardness- softens and the tartness becomes sweet. The acidity once inside changes to sweetness this process also changes the outside skin from green to burgundy, black and even yellow….their true colors begin emerging. Amazing how…. this once uneatable fruit becomes delicious!  

When Jesus came into our lives we were full of selfishness and O so tart. Then Gods Holy Spirit came drew us to Himself. As Jesus’s warm rays of light shine upon us – through His Spirit/Word…His Love changes our acidity to sweet and our hardness becomes tender.  Day after day as we allow His light to touch us we are changed becoming who we were created to be !

“In Him was life, and that life was the light of men the light shines in the darkness and the darkness has not overcome it.” John 1:4-5

“Once your life was full of sin’s darkness, but now you have the very light of the Lord shining through you because of your union with Him. Your mission is to live as children flooded with His revelation-light! And the supernatural fruits of His light will be seen in you-goodness, righteousness, and truth. Then you will learn to choose what is beautiful to our Lord”   Ephesians 5:8-10 TPT

Today I thanked God for the morning sunlight that faithfully comes each day. I realized, as I was saying this…I have taken this beautiful sunlight for granite.

So I thought ? What happens to create each morning? In My discovery I learned… that as the earth turns and turns (rotates) towards the sun….after 23 hours and 56 minutes …..a new morning appears.

How I love the fresh crisp air…the morning dew that sits upon the leaves and soft pedals glistening. LIFE!!! And the sun makes this possible !

Our beings are earths- as the physical earth needs light so does ours.

May our earth, our being, CONTINUALLY TURN towards YOU/Jesus.  Allowing Your aluminous light to cover us with Your rays of love. Bringing warmth and healing to our wounded lands. Restoration light, healing us and bringing our lands to beauty ! Isaiah 61

“This is how much God loved the world, He gave His one and only unique Son as a gift. So now everyone who believes in Him will never perish but experience everlasting life.” John 3:16 TPT

May we share – this Good News!!! A New Day has come! Jesus is “… the light of the world.” John 9:5.

Go! And Tell others so they can experience this Great Love”

 

After the young lady bagged my groceries, she asked if she could help me to my car. As she was putting the groceries in the trunk, I noticed a necklace around her neck with the star of David.  I then asked, if she believed in a Messiah.   She said, “No, she didn’t believe in a messiah or god. She then shared – before her father passed away he told her that nature would reveal to her who God is.

I asked her if she had ever heard about a man named Jesus/Yeshua his name in Hebrew -born in Israel. She said “no’. I shared about his life touching blind eyes and they received sight ! When Deaf ears were touched they heard!  The lame walked and danced. And dead men came back to life! As he walked in Israel he claimed to be God because of this they crucified him. He was buried that evening but three days later rose from the grave. After that he was seen by over 500 people for 40 days. (Historically proven)

As I was talking something kept flying around her and then another flying insect came.  I didn’t think much about it but then another one came so I stopped talking and looked closely at what was flying around her shoulders and head- honeybees, three honeybees. 

So, I said to her “are you noticing something flying around your head?” She said “yes, what is it?” “Honeybees are flying around you.” I said. “Did your father tell you nature would reveal who God is?” She answered “yes” She asked, “What do you think they’re trying to tell me?” “I believe they came because you are looking for a sign from nature.” She asked again, “What do you think they’re trying to tell me?”  I told her, “I think they were drawn because of Jesus story being told. Your father told you nature would reveal who God is.. The honeybees were telling you, Jesus is God The Honey to the earth.”

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” Genesis 1:1

“For by Him (Jesus) all things were created both in the heavens and on the earth visible and invisible whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities – all things have been created through Him and for Him.” Colossians 1:16

As I was listening to the rain this morning my mind began going to different lands the rain was touching. First I saw rain pouring upon white cement and running off. Then I saw the rain pour down upon a pile of rocks and it could not saturate the soil. Next, saw a large field of open soil the rains came creating a field of flowers blooming with vibrant colors. 

Realizing these lands represented our lives my mind quickly saw different soils/souls- Seeing difficulties of trauma, hardness, rejection and abandonment had brought these land much hardness like cement and rocks upon their soils/souls. Day after day the refreshing rains still came it couldn’t reach into their soil/soul.  While the other land I saw with wide open fields I understood it had no blockages seeing flourishing beauty!

Looking back didn’t think I needed any help…..I had concluded “this is just little old me” or another way to say it ” this is just my personality”. Now after much digging and moving boulders….understanding the terrain in which I lived…Life had been a war zone, traumatizing, hard. Not fully understanding the extent of my damage soul – Until – through a series of difficulties my youngest son practically begged me to get help… scared of the unknown….I finally reached out. Starting with a therapist/counselor and after a while of getting over myself- it was actually a gift to finally tell my story- for someone to listen, hear and affirm emotions, the difficulty’s and the traumatization. It didn’t stop there, I finally left Couseling in search of going deeper -I cried out to God one day ” Help me Lord, I don’t know how to get there”. Later, realized, I was only touching the surface telling my story….I need a huge caterpillar digger- to go deep – Uprooting lies, wrong beliefs, hatred, un-forgivenss, judgement and vows I had against God, myself and others. The faithfulness of God!!! He did bring me someone who went deeper, uncovering lies, exposing falsehood about myself and God. Then giving me new eyes/perspective to see others differently. As I continued going to wounded places- places that triggers us with a trusted friend my soul experienced freedom and healing. Through out the years God brought A Prayer/Deliverance team And others- a proven friend/friends through this journey to walk this together! Break through is occurring- Believing Gods Absolutely Good Heart. So thankful, for my son loving me, truthING me- grateful I went to these fearful places that had smothered my soul/soil. Thank you, ADONIA for Navigate me through these rough waters, for calming my seas’ and bringing light into dark places.

Now forever thankful to be in a place I was actually running from.  Allowing a plow into my soil…uncovering, breaking up hard places, removing boulders and vines that were choking my soul/soil.  Someday soon, it’s actually already happening my soul is experiencing rain.

Today as I was burning an area in my yard a wind came up spreading the controlled fire to different spots in the yard becoming out of control. As I franticly started stomping these fires from one spot to another with my shoes other fires began to get worse. A neighbor saw what was happening and brought a hose with running water pouring out and fires were out. My heart and mind went from racing to release from stress to relief. So grateful for my neighbor coming over !

When I think back on that day and the feelings that went with the fire burning out of control I’m reminded of how many times situations puts my heart in a panic . Why? Do fears and anxious thoughts so quickly overwhelm my heart ? What is inside of me that instantly fills my heart with terror ?

Realizing in my own strength thoughts spread like wildfire as my mind races and panic emotions begin. Reminded now…. it wasn’t Until water came forth pouring out onto the flames that the fires stopped.

O my soul, His presence…will calm the storm within you.  Be still, His Love will wrap around you. Be still, Rest in His strong arms. May Father’s heart overflow you with golden love and stop the fires within. 

“… Let the beloved of the Lord rest secure in Him for He shields him all day long and the one the Lord loves rest between His shoulders.” Deuteronomy 33:12

“…confident… I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.  Wait for the Lord be strong and take heart and wait (intertwine yourself with Him) for the Lord.” Psalms 27:13-14

“casting all your cares/anxieties upon him, because he cares about you.” 1 Peter 5: 7
