A
Blessed Palm Sunday to all! May the realization that all of the
symbolism of the Palm branch, is found in The BRANCH the Lord Jesus
Christ! Every Victory, Triumph, Success, Goodness, Peace and of course
Eternal Life is found resident in Him. Crown Him with Many Crowns
through your Praise for All that He IS! Hallelujah. Thank you Lord! You
ARE Worthy of all our praise.
Isa 11:1 And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:
Isa 11:2 And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD;
Isa 11:3 And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the LORD: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears:
Isa 11:4 But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked.
Isa 11:5 And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins.
Do you remember Valentine's Day in (primary) grade school? The day held forth the promise of cupcakes and cookies and kool-aid brought in by the Moms.
Decorated brown paper bags that had been painstakingly embellished, were taped to the front of your desk. Empty bags but open and beckoning, hoping 2 receive paper heart-shaped treasures dropped into them through out the day. Oh the expectation, anticipation and bated breath!
Who could possibly explain that a bag full of small white envelopes holding corny, folded valentine's with silly sayings, meant that you were counted in and not on the outside looking in?
How many were painfully aware of the rejects and rebuffs? Not knowing that you were Already CHOSEN. Already LOVED. Already desperately desired as aValentine?
This Valentine's Day, I pray that you will embrace the Love that is ALREADY yours! I pray that you will turn and find your deepest desires not just met but fulfilled beyond all expectations and that you will be overwhelmed and swept away by the Lover of Your Soul. The ONE who knows you better than you know yourself and is as close as your own skin because that is where HE desires to be, under your skin, in the crevices of your heart and in every area of your life!
HE was there at each and every Valentine's day from your past, both the happy and the sad ones. Before you were even born He hummed and sang over you:
"I am your Valentine, Will you be Mine? Will you supine and your heart let Me entwine? I will be the song your heart sings, with words and melody that only Heaven brings! I love you so, more than you know, and I shall lovingly watch you grow. I shall wait for you, wait for you, wait for you My Love! For I died for you, bled for you, rose to give you life anew! I call to you, and woo you, and draw you to Me, your whole life through. So come to Me, dine with Me, recline with Me, and let me sing to you! Laugh with Me, smile with Me,
cry tears for Me that others may know My Love that's True, for don't you know I've cried tears for all of you? Flow with Me, Grow with Me, Then Go for Me, and Show for Me the Love that I gave to you. Reach for Me, Teach for Me, Use the Gifts I've Given to you. Love's the Key that opens the door, and there is so much more, just waiting for you to explore! So Come my Valentine, let your heart incline and feast on My Love sublime." Jesus
