"Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these." Luke 12:27 ESV

Lilies: purity, hope, new life, Love, innocence of heart, beauty, and more.

A few encouraging words.

"Such mighty words of true wisdom from above. Well done, dear Hephzibah." Yes, you did not shrink back but spoke boldly with love, wisdom, grace, and mercy. Every word was precisely what needed to be heard at this moment. Oh GOD, thank You for Hephzibah, she is such a blessing. Truly, she is Your tender gift to us, Your people.

"Praise the LORD!"

Hephzibah, I read your letter yesterday before going to Church. I planned to comment this morning. After we went down the street for ice cream, the sun was out, and it was another awesome day living in the LORD's Loving care. As I sat eating my quickly melting ice cream, the LORD said I have a special word for Hephzibah. Will You deliver it to her, for sure I said. I'm excited to know what it was,

"Are You Ready?"

Hephzibah, a tender lily underneath.

"I planted a field of tender lilies. It covers the whole earth below, each wonderfully made. To a passerby, many of them go unnoticed because the others cover them, making their beauty unappreciated, not seen, but not to Me. I see them right where I've placed them. They are the ones underneath, holding the others up. Yes, everyone can see the ones above, but the ones underneath are the ones I have allowed to suffer the most. They are the ones who bear the burdens of the others, they are those who carry with them My scars, My tears, My Love for the others. Yes, they share in My deepest sentiments. They are the ones who heard Me say, feed My sheep. Yes, their beauty doesn't go unnoticed by Me, for it shines brighter than the stars, it sings with the angels, so precious is its adoration and praise, so pleasing to My ears and eyes, sing My Lilies sing because you are My joy."

"These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full." John 15:11 ESV

O the Deep Deep Love of Jesus // Sounds Like Reign

I was speaking to my mother concerning the blessed hope that purifies and the importance of it being preached.

I think about what happened when the people thought Moses delayed coming down from the mountain.

We are closer than we were when we first believed🙏🏾
