A Journey of Discovering

"I am My beloved's and His desire is for me."

Beautifully Broken

My Beautiful Warrior

What you may see as broken inside yourself, I see as beautiful. I am the One who makes beautiful things out of broken hearts. I am the same God who took a brokenhearted orphan named Esther and turned her into a queen who saved my people. Just as I used Esther’s pain for My purpose, I will not waste a single tear you have shed, My love. I can and will use whatever is broken in your life for My glory. My love and mercy will shine brightest in those broken places. I will not only use what is broken, I will rebuild you to become even better and more beautiful than you could ever imagine.

Love,

your King

who sees your true beauty.

“He has made everything beautiful in it’s time. He has set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot even fathom what God has done from beginning to end.”

- Ecclesiastes 3:11

The Greatest Commandment

Hearing that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, the Pharisees got together. One of them, an expert in the law, tested him with this question: “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”

Jesus replied:

“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself. All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments. “

- Matthew 22: 34-40

Jonathan & Melissa Helser - Love Song (by VisibleByLight)

Love Song

Jonathan and Melissa Helser

I can hear a love song
All around me
When the wind blows
I can hear Your voice speak
It surrounds me when the leaves move

I’m just dust without Your breathe
I’m just clay without Your kiss
I’m just skin and bone
Without your wind in my lungs

I can hear a love song
In everything You’re singing
I can hear Your heartbeat
Flowing through me, Your inside me

I’m just dust without Your breathe
I’m just clay without Your kiss
I’m just skin and bone
Without your wind in my lungs

In Light of all He’s taught me.

Books, movies, music, and leaders are instruments used in our lives to shape us, mold us, enlighten us and direct us but without a personal relationship with Jesus Christ there is no use for them and their influence becomes noise rather than a beautiful melody. 

He replied, “Because the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them. Whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them. This is why I speak to them in parables:

“Though seeing, they do not see;
    though hearing, they do not hear or understand.

 In them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah:

“‘You will be ever hearing but never understanding;
    you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.
 For this people’s heart has become calloused;
    they hardly hear with their ears,
    and they have closed their eyes.
Otherwise they might see with their eyes,
    hear with their ears,
    understand with their hearts
and turn, and I would heal them.

 But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear.

Matthew 13:11-16

Be Extraordinary

Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves. Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. Share with the Lord’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality. Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn. Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited. Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord. On the contrary: “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head.” Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

- Romans 12:9-21
