FIRESTONES: There is an Abode: by Win Cain There is an abode in you Lord, a land where I long to be. Apart from distractions and fears toward a goal much to large for me. There is an abode in you, Lord at times I've a glimpse of that place, where nothing that comes my way will remove my gaze from your face. There is an abode in me, Lord where no one else can be. A loving accepting communion reserved just for you and me. Desired Fire: by Beverly A Hughes You called to me, hearing of my desire and compelled me into the fire. Drawn by your loving grace, to behold your radiant face, while clinging to your embrace. Hold fast YOU said, to my voice within, and be not dismayed by the places you've been. You're set apart unto "me" as a special treasure, which knows no measure. I am ready to be revealed, never more to be concealed, so "arise my love...come and be healed. You called me into this fire and fulfilled my heart's desire. Compelled by your loving grace to behold your beautiful face...to cling to Your embrace. Hold fast I hear you say to my voice within and be not dismayed by the places you've been. Your set apart unto Me to be the very breath of thee I made you a special treasure to know My love without measure. I am ready to be revealed never more to be concealed So arise my love...be healed. I'm making you ready, by setting you free to become "the very essence of me." The Nature: By Doricia Lang THEY, have rejected My Love…but “it is my nature” to keep loving… THEY, speak of war but “it is My nature” to uphold PEACE…THEY, deny My name, speak lies against it, though tried and true as it is, it is My nature to continue to uphold it for truth’s sake.. THEY, seek my life, but it is my nature to lie down, Be still and know …I AM! (Matt.5:1-26, 2Cor.5:14-21, 2Peter 1:1-8, 2Tim.1-12, Romans 13:10-14) Courage of a Lamb: by Joanne Cain Within the framework of earth and clay, comes a process of renewal revealing a new day. Hidden within this shell a bit of sand moves to create a spell; creating a precious pearl, a gem of light; purposed to come forth in the midst. Like a beckon in the night; marking the time as his fragrant rose: this little one is drawn forth with a peace that freely flows from a hidden chamber within the heart. A place of refuge: his love imparts the courage to enter this land: with the gentleness of His dove, the boldness of his lion, and the courage of his lamb. jmc You are invited to visit Joannes web site: Legacy of a Songbird:
