He stood before me Tall and glowing His love engulfed me Flowing, flowing Hand that touched me Tender and assuring His joy filled me Strengthening, enduring His smile washed me Peace and serenity It is well with me Now and for eternity

Barely a breeze All is quiet Morning has come To my garden island Green in abundance Shadows and sun Birds are stirring Beetle on the run Heaven so blue Cloudless sky Alone with my God To Him I cry "Heal my heart Take away this pain Such beauty around me Tells me you can" My eyes rest on flowers They smile and wave A kiss of pink love From Jesus who saves Such joy fills my soul Heaviness vanished It will all work out Sadness is vanquished Copyright 2022 Cheryl S.

Rocking in my garden chair
Kitty comes to visit
Day is breezy and fair
Spring has burst it’s prison
Rhaphiolepis lift up pink heads
Orange trees are in bloom
Green sprouts dot new flower beds
Flying bugs dart and zoom
Sunshine fills a cloudless sky
My heart warms from within
God’s faithfulness to you and I
His gifts abound despite our sin
Such beauty all around
Every day a new adventure
Stunning views, colors astound
His love pours out of nature
Join me in His greenery
Among the swaying trees
Breathe in His lavish scenery
Sit humbly at His knees.

Your destiny awaits you
No more isolation
Ask Me for inspiration
This change is overdue
Darkness cannot win!
My Light has overcome
Grab hold of My Son
He will calm the din
I will renew you
Strength is returning
Hope is restoring
There is much to do!
Many need you
The words will flow
Stay humble, bow low
For hundreds; for the few
Hang on to Me
Worry not; don’t fear
I’m always near
Believe and you will see!

Rays of golden fringed pink
Breakthrough the darkest blue
Stars fade managing a last twink
The sky transforms, now a radiant hue
Still the source is hidden
Creation holds its breath
There! The sun fills the horizon
A promise of hope is birthed
The love of God envelopes earth
His peace fills accepting hearts
Look up and know your worth
Each dawn is for your restart
Black night now gone
The breeze refreshing and fair
Listen to the bird song
Rejoice, your New Day is here!

As I was praying I heard these wonderful words pour into my heart:
How high? How deep?
How wide is My
Love for you?
Eternity cannot hold it
It flows freely
every day
Step into My arms
I adore you!
Let Me show you My
Loving way
How high? How deep?
How wide is My
Love for you?
Look to the cross and
See the sacrifice I made
My blood a gift
So we could be ONE.
I Promise My love
Will never fade.
My love for you
Will never ever fade.
I love you
I really really do!

Received this wonderful poem message from my God as I prayed and worshiped Him. May it bless you as much as it blessed me!
Walk in the green of the grass with Me
Dance on golden flowers
Look out at the spacious blue sea
Be with Me for hours and hours
My heart calls to the depth of your person
Into your soul I see
Come! Let us talk and reason
I have so much to share with thee
Observe! See the beauty of creation
Take time, share the moment with Me
I long for your quiet attention
And time when I’m all you need.
Stop for some rest and peace
Slow down so I can refresh you
Drink deeply from oceans of grace
Receive my gifts that renew you
Yes, dance on and on with Me
Never ever let Me go
How I love to bless you; see!
How I intensely love you so!

Whispers in my heart; a message from my Lord:
Lean on Me when life is filled with trouble
Lean on me when fear floods your soul
I AM here to give out portions that are double
I AM here to heal and make you whole
Call on Me in the midst of great pain
Call on Me in the depth of suffering
I will answer and wipe away all shame
I will answer with love and rejoicing
Come to Me when confusion overwhelms you
Come to Me when the heaviness is too much to bear
I will make clear the plans I have for you
I will lift the burdens and make your days fair
There is nothing that is too much for Me!
Call upon My Name every day
The darkness will depart and you will see
There is glory all around; I’m with you all the way

As I sat with the Lord in prayer, I heard this in my heart…
Come as a child, a daughter
Come hear from your Father
Receive rest for your soul
My love making you whole
Come into My Presence
Sit with Me, feel My essence
At ease, unashamed, sharing
Saturated with My caring
Come trust Me with your heart
My healing hits the mark
Let’s dance and rejoice
Laugh, daughter, lift up your voice!
Come, untangle from the worldly sea
Enjoy life’s journey with Me!
Cares of this world unimportant
You and Me, Child, JUBILANT!

My heart’s cry…
Am I bringing You glory;
What kind of ambassador am I?
Am I telling Your story,
Or, lifting myself up high?
Because I’m filled with Your Spirit
We are united; we’re One.
How can flesh merit
Such favor, grace and love?
How I long to be a sanctuary
That fully reflects You!
Your temple filled with glory;
None of me; all of You.
My soul bought with a price –
Really, I’m that valuable?
For me You gave Your life;
You saw something salvageable.
Oh, the honor to give You honor!
Help me be free of futility –
Walking daily as your daughter,
Always with humility.
