Near

“Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!
Let your graciousness be known to everyone.

The Lord is near.”
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭4‬-‭5‬ ‭HCSB‬‬

Oh, Beautiful Star of Bethlehem!
Breathtaking to me, Your Countenance!
There is no place I look and do not see
springboards for Conversation
between You and me!
What wonder to find myself
an heir to such relationship!

“Don’t worry about anything, but in everything,
through prayer and petition with thanksgiving,
let your requests be made known to God.”
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭6‬ ‭HCSB‬‬

Oh, what promise!
The worth of this transport!
Evergreen Qualities
beyond words, incalculable!
The richness of scenes!
So much to glean!

“And the peace of God, which surpasses every thought,
will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.”
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭7‬ ‭HCSB‬‬

Thank You, God,
for everyday images that depict,
Kingdom truths and principals, Infinite!
Figments of my imagination?
I think not!
But entirely a matter of
Sanctuary and Holy Spirit!

“Finally brothers, whatever is true,
whatever is honorable, whatever is just,
whatever is pure, whatever is lovely,
whatever is commendable —
if there is any moral excellence
and if there is any praise —
dwell on these things.”
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭8‬ ‭HCSB‬‬

For every dawn upon my rising
I hand to You my heart, my vision,
my line of my sight,
and it’s interpretation.
I ask they be used
for the Glory of Heaven!

“Do what you have learned and received
and heard and seen in me,
and the God of peace
will be with you.”
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭9‬ ‭HCSB‬‬

What joy becomes evident, arises!
When moments like this arrive,
they delight me!
For when I lean
upon Your Frame
I often hear
a quiet, ‘Amen’.

Yes,
Breathtaking to me
is Your Countenance!
