Dear Brothers and Sisters,

I Praise the Lord for this time we can meet together and share Heartstrings. As we gather on this Thursday, I am completely sure of one thing. Victory comes as I cling to Jesus.

We will continue praying the Word of Life. We left off in Psalm 27 and will now prepare our hearts before the Lord. Father we humbly come before You. We want to hear what You have to say to us. You are able to see each one here, though living in various places around the world. Thank you for Loving us so completely. In Jesus name, amen.

"And now shall my head be lifted up above my enemies round about me; in His tent I wil offer sacrifices and shouting of joy; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the Lord." My Savior, Redeemer and Shepherd...You are Great and mighty! How GREAT Thou art!

"Hear, O Lord, when I cry aloud; have mercy and be gracious to me and answer me!"  Thank you Abba for always listening to my voice.

"You have said, Seek My face [inquire for and require My presence as your vital need]. My heart says to You, Your face (Your presence), Lord, will I seek, inquire for, and require [of necessity and on the authority of Your Word]."

Bless Your Holy name! I do seek Your face and know that there is nothing I can accomplish here apart from Your grace. With all the pulls and pushes from this world, help me to find my greatest longing, the desire of my heart, to be in Your presence.

"Hide not Your face from me; turn not Your servant away in anger, You Who have been my help! Cast me not off, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation!"

Thank you Lord for forgiving me of sins. Everyday. Every moment I know I can come to You and find Your arms open wide. Thank you for Redeeming me back to the Father!

"Although my father and my mother have forsaken me, yet the Lord will take me up [adopt me as His child]."

Jesus, there are so many who are alone in their sorrow. So many don't even know their birth parents. Yet, You glady accept us as Your own, as though from the same Father. Dear Lord, please reveal Your gracious love to those outside of Your family. Help them to come, just as they are and allow You to touch them with perfect love.

For those who have come to You, please help them to know they are valued, accepted and sealed by Your blood sacrifice. Thank you for Your love lifts us out of the grave and death! Open each of our eyes to respond to being ALL Yours.

After praying these scriptures, take the needed time to reflect. Open your hands with your heart to the Lord. He is waiting for you. He is your vital need. My vital need. I could not live without HIm. Ask Holy Spirit to fill you with fresh oil from the Throne. We get to begin again. Each day offers fresh mercies, just like the manna in the wilderness. 

This morning I asked the Lord for a kindness to pour out of me in responce to unkind words. When someone speaks out of their hurt, we can get the hurt too. But, I realized that while I am crying out to God for strength and a right attitude, He hears and delivers me from the darkness others words can bring. I am walking taller, stronger and bolder as a daughter of the King, my risen Lord. 

If you want to be a child of the King, walk like one! If you want to give life to another, go to the source of fresh life, Jesus! If you want to respond in kindness, go ahead and take the time to seek wisdom from the Father. "You are His child, act like one." says the Lord to my heart. What is He speaking to you now?

I look forward to walking the path of His chooseing today. We have a journey to complete. Jesus Christ our Lord will go with us. Only trust Him. He will save you now. God bless.

Abundance is...singing Oh how I love Jesus!
