Friends-2 Hear God
Here’s how Karen shares her love for God: “I feel called to share my love of God’s word through the simple creation of images. In my most desperate time of need, God poured out His love through the scriptures. The more I poured over his many promises, I found it soothing to put scriptures to beautiful pictures that would eventually be printed and framed, covering the walls in my home. I would be blessed if you would share your favorite scriptures so that I could share with you a picture that you may choose to print and hang on your own walls to allow His love to be a constant reminder each time you gaze upon the image. Feel free to email your desired scripture to……”
Norma writes:“I spend time each daylistening for what God wants me to write, then asking the next day with whom I am to share it. So here's what I wrote recently that I feel called to share on this website. If it speaks to you and touches your heart, then I bless what God is doing through it. If not, then please release and forget that you read it. Or send it on if you are so led. In any case, it's also for me, so it will have served its purpose.”
14 Apr 2020 - “Deeper, deeper, deeper - plunge into My vastness of love, let Me wash you completely, show you what more I have for you, the places where it is time to grow, breaking loose from your ’shell’ to sprout in My light, flourish, bloom, bear fruit! That seed casing is not My will for your life, only a temporary protection until the time comes that I have appointed."
15 Apr 2020 - “Can the seed imagine the plant it will become? Can the stalk and leaves conceive of the flower that will bloom? Can the petals foreknow what the fruit will be like? Can you trust Me to know My perfect plan for you, no matter how outside your own understanding the coming growth will be?"
16 Apr 2020 - “Be where you are, in whatever stage of growth you’re at right now. Draw on My life-giving light, drink the Living Water Jesus, and breathe in Holy Spirit. Everything you need for your continued growth comes from Me. Lean in, trust My goodness and love."
17 Apr 2020 - “Leave your plans in My hands, waiting on My word for your timing, like the tree waits for the right conditions to trigger its budding and flowering. Then move when I open that door, setting My plan in motion. Be as eager and ready to bloom as that bud awaiting spring. That one small blossom seems insignificant - until it’s seen with the host of My children, a profuse display of beauty!"
20 Apr 2020 - “Place your life in My hands. It’s already there, so just acknowledge that and release your grip, that need to control. Can you remember that I love you far more than you love yourself? Trust in My love.”
Parker shares his love of God by contributing to a blog (http://portionsofgrace.blogspot.com/), writing curricula, leading studies, and sharing his missionary experiences of God’s grace in his book “It All Makes Sense” (Westbow Press). As another example, Parker has compiled one document “God Speaks”, laying out the very basic directives we are given, first in the Ten Commandments and later in Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount.
