I can find my head begin to ache, so much talk, so much noise. Some days I literally put my hands upon my ears to help me filter all the distractions.  All of my emotions can be pricked, and I must pay attention not to let the vibrations of the world make me sing the wrong note. The only note I can focus on is that of love.

I held the dove’s feather in my hand desiring to write something of worth…

The most intimate conversations don’t involve words at all. These are moments when our hearts connect in a language that has no verbal expression. This goes beyond physical touch. It’s an understanding for how another has been joined to you, not just for now, but forever.

 

It takes a strong heart to kneel down. Outwardly you look broken and weak before others. Inside one’s heart however, is the resolve to know that God is good and above us all. In that understanding is the cornerstone of faith. The world tells us to stand tall and be proud of our accomplishments. A wiser choice is to humble ourselves; bowing down before the Lord and giving Him all glory and praise for anything we have been privileged to achieve.

Psalm 95:6 Oh come, let us worship and bow down; Let us kneel before the Lord our Maker

Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them.  Psa 139:16

My days, each and everyone, were made for me and what I do with them are written in a book of importance. It will speak of what I did with my time.

When I work is important, when I rest is important, when I laugh is important, when I pray is important, when I help another is important, when I worship is important, when I read the Word is important, when I write is important, when I dream is important, when I clean is important, when I cook is important and how I love is most important.

None of these lack value, all things are good when my heart is positioned to know everything can be done unto the Lord.

In one hand I held the desert rose rock, and in the other I held the smooth white stone. Neither had I purchased, both had been given to me as gifts. Each intrigued me in their uniqueness. One had been carved by winds and the other by rushing water. Both of these were representative of the Spirit of God but they looked so different from one another. My lesson was at hand.

I thought about the people I knew and those I didn’t, especially those baptized in the Holy Spirit; what I had seen but not always understood. Some spoke in languages that sounded strange to my ears, others sang, others laughed and some cried. Each of these people were uniquely made and my only requirement was to love them as my Father loved them.

I wrapped my palms around each rock I held in my hands and asked for His grace to love beyond my mind of understanding. Love was the ultimate lesson. Would I still love no matter what I saw? Would I still love no matter what I heard? Could I move in love no matter the circumstance before me knowing each of these people represented living stones.

1 Pet 2:5  You also, as living stones, are being built up as a spiritual house for a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

A flood of names and faces began to parade before me. There were so many. As I heard and saw each one I could feel tears streaming down my cheeks. These were the jewels of life. Some I knew well and others only in passing. Soon another vision came, it was a large needle made of gold threaded with white silk. I could see this needle piercing each person’s heart, passing through easily, allowing the white thread to sew each one together. I sensed I was looking upon the Jeweler’s work to make a necklace of lives. Individually they were beautiful, but joined together they were the greatest of treasures.

Eph 4:1-6 (CEV) As a prisoner of the Lord, I beg you to live in a way that is worthy of the people God has chosen to be his own. Always be humble and gentle. Patiently put up with each other and love each other. Try your best to let God’s Spirit keep your hearts united. Do this by living at peace. All of you are part of the same body. There is only one Spirit of God, just as you were given one hope when you were chosen to be God’s people. We have only one Lord, one faith, and one baptism. There is one God who is the Father of all people. Not only is God above all others, but he works by using all of us, and he lives in all of us.

“Yes, you want her, look at her you know you do, It’s possible she wants you too, there is one way to ask her, it don’t take a word, not a single word, go on and kiss the girl”, this song stirred within me to the point I had to find it on the internet. A Disney movie had been made where a young girl’s voice had been taken away and only a kiss of love could restore it.

Going to my Word, I opened the pages to read from Song of Solomon. The beginning of the book starts out with “Let Him kiss me with the kisses of His mouth, For Your love is better than wine” and near the end says, “You who dwell in the gardens, the companions listen for your voice, let Me hear it!”

Oh that all in this world could find their true voice by a kiss of love.
