You Bless Me Like Rain

Rain on Me, (image courtesy of cindrellaforever.blogspot.com)

You bless me like rain,     drenching my life with Your love. Drops of blessings all different and unique,     watering every facet of my life. No need for shelter from your blessings. No, I flee my hiding place and I run to You. My spiritual roots are saturated with Your love. David said, "My cup overflows" (Psalm 23:5, NIV),     and he's right! When storms come, You send a rainbow! When lightning strikes, You are my rod! When strong winds blow, You are my shelter! So rain on me Lord, as You see fit to do. When Jesus washed the disciples feet,     it was Peter who declared, "not just my feet..." (John 13:9) You bless me with life eternal, but that wasn't enough. You bless me with joy everlasting, but that wasn't enough. You bless me with peace beyond all understanding,     but that wasn't enough. So rain on me Lord, with a love supreme. You bless me like rain,     showering Your love upon me! I don't understand why You do this,     but I realize You love me so much. It's no wonder that John wrote: "See what great love the Father     has lavished on us...!" (1 John 3:1, NIV) I look at this love from every possible perspective,     and yet I am humbled by such examples of     concern, care, and consideration for me. You watch over my life with the utmost concern! You nurture me with unbridled care! You light my path with loving consideration. So rain on me Lord, as You see fit to do. When Jesus washed the disciples feet,     it was Peter who declared, "not my feet only" You bless me with life eternal, but that wasn't enough. You bless me with joy everlasting, but that wasn't enough. You bless me with peace beyond all understanding,     but that wasn't enough. So rain on me Lord,     with a love supreme. Poem by MTJ

More Grace

God's reach has no limits

I’m driving down I-695, talking with God; asking for His grace and blessing. In my feeble mind, I want an answer…waiting…waiting…waiting. The Holy Spirit joins the conversation and points out where, when, and how God extended grace to me. Have I been sleeping? How could I not see Jehovah Jireh providing on my behalf? “But He gives us more and more grace…” I remember watching how an airplane refuels in flight. The fuel plane extends a hose which connects to the plane’s fuel tank. God is greater than a fuel plane, His grace has no limits to His extent; He extends to us more and more grace. What is grace? Whatever grace is, God give us more and more of it. Joy, pleasure, delight, peace, good will, loving kindness, concern, care, provision, hope, and life. Grace is all this which God gives and more! God commits Himself to us! He gives Himself to us! Grace cannot be summed up in one word, or a lifetime of words. Have you ever sought the Lord as Paul did when he had a thorn in the flesh? Well, I have! And the word of the Lord resonated in my spirit just as it did in Paul, “My grace is sufficient for you...” Sometimes the distance between me and God appears so vast, and yet, His grace extends beyond that distance! “...Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think...” God isn’t just able to do, He gives us more and more grace!
