"I AM so much more than you could ever know…

God speaks: “Don’t you remember the warning? I gave it to you in My word, “In this world you will have tribulation, but be of good cheer…”(John 16:33). I made it quite clear- don’t be tempted, don’t be afraid, don’t be in such a great hurry- to run to the vices so near!”
“This world is broken. This world is a mess. Since the beginning when Satan did tempt. ‘In this world you will have tribulation, but be of good cheer. I have overcome the world.'(John 16:33). Believe these words, when you’re tempted – when your tempted to give up and be overcome by the stress!”
A heart-broken child: “I’ve been taught through the years. I grew up with reminders: “Hear the words of the Savior, He’s talking to you”.
“The eyes of God are open, He sees you in full view.”
“He will light your darkness. Even if for a time you can’t see.”
“He IS Immanuel, God with us -you can trust Him in your darkness- He IS gracious and full of mercy.”
“I do remember these words, but the world seems to be what is ‘true.’ I’ve got to work to make money, I’ve got to get the job done. I have to do this, I have to do that! Who has time for the Son?”
God speaks: “But, I’m  so much more than what you can imagine. The glory, the majesty, the mystery is all there…in everything you see, and in the things that you don’t:  in the precious little baby, in the ox in the field, in the eagle soaring above the mountains and the lion in the field…”but you don’t ‘see’ these anymore, in an average day, but my glory and mystery are ever present, ever sound – ‘you believe in God, believe also in Me…'” (John 14:1), look then to the blue in the sky and the puff of the white cloud. Let Me in, as you look around!”
“Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things which you know not of.” (Jer. 33:3).
A heart-broken child: “Who are you God, and who are You, Jesus? The trials come,… somehow You grow very small. As the beat of my heart struggles, as the weight of the world weighs down- it seems my eyes have been blinded and I don’t seem to know You at all!”
God Speaks: “God, is My Title, the Father of all. Jesus is My name, in which you need call. The Holy Spirit then will come to live in your life,  if you do not ‘quench Him’ by anger and doubt – of Me, He will ‘tell all!’ The mysteries – let them become  spectrum of color before your eyes. The spectrum… surrounds Me, on the throne of glory – Turn your eyes on Me – disregard the lies!
“Line upon Line, precept upon precept”(Isaiah 28:10), as the tortoise, not the hare, begin your walk with Me again. Talk to Me and bring Me in…does the sun not rise every morning and set every night? Take notice of the faithfulness of his return each new day – and remember Me… I am faithful as the sun, I AM the light, the spectrum and all it’s glory! I AM more than you could ever imagine – I AM the King of All Kings, and the Rock of all Ages, I AM the Lord of Hosts and the Father of Light. I Am Wisdom and I Am True, and may you never forget my child…I delight in you!”
(God’s word, in James): “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning. Of His own will He brought us forth by the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures.” (James 1:17,18).
(Fanny Crosby speaks for the child of hope): “Take the world, but give me Jesus. All its joys are but a  name; But His love abideth ever, Thru eternal years the same. 2. Take the world, but give me Jesus, Sweetest comfort of my soul; With my Savior watching o’er me, I can sing tho billows roll. 3. Take the world, but give me Jesus. Let me view His constant smile; Then thruout my pilgrim journey, Light will cheer me all the while…” O the height and depth of mercy! O the length and breadth of love! O the fullness of redemption Pledge of endless life above!” (Give Me Jesus, by Fanny Crosby).

I'm a believer in Jesus. Because of this, I am married to a wonderful husband and the mom of a large family. For those who have battled cancer, or any other tragedy or disease, you might understand, I had a choice to get better or bitter. I chose to give thanks to Jesus for my every breath. For that reason alone, wanting to proclaim His goodness, do I write - Toni

  1. Thanks my friend. I picture my wayward Katie reading this and have hope of her return. I pray that the same Lord Who put these words today in my view through you my pearl friend will put these words in her heart through His spirit and that she would repent and return to Him.
    I love you and thank you for sharing His heart with us all.
    In His steadfast love, Joni
