A Depth of Love that is Eternal

A few clips from Tolkien that remind us that whatever life brings to us God is always there. His masterful plan for our lives is beautiful. His desire is to make us like him, children of a High King that reflect His heart. His hand is there even when we do not see it. Look for it and even if it is not seen, trust His heart.

"You cannot stop the change anymore than you can stop the sun from setting. There are forces at work here that are far beyond what we see."

There is a God in Heaven whose will and purpose will not be altered. He is sovereign and will accomplish all His pleasure for His love and mercy are forever. He is mine and I am His and that bond will never be broken. It is forged by a depth of love that is eternal.

Needful Violence

Following is a quick thought that I penned not too many days past. Probably inspired by something I read some where. I'll type it as I wrote it.

Don't we want to say,I died fighting,
There was a cause and I kept not back myself.

I did not flinch at the gaze of the enemy.
But flung him from his lofty throne
and brake his neck.

The enemy of our souls is doomed! God wins. Good thing huh. :0)

Of course this is but a facet of who we are, as we journey on till we see the One who we love above all. And through that love we know what love really is.

The White Witch

Wow, It's been so long since I posted a blog. Perhaps sending for my pasword helped.

I enjoy reading. These are snippets from he last book I read, T W W by Elizabeth Gouge.

I'll take thy way: for sure Thy way is best:
Stretch or contract me Thy poor debtor
This is but tuning of my breast,
To make the music better.

Whether I fly with angels, fall with dust,
Thy hands made both and I am there:
Thy power and love, my love and trust
Make one place everywhere.

pg 283

"I am happy anywhere." said the old man simply.
"You were not happy at Will's breeching," Froniga chided him.
"The sun is still there, Froniga, even if clouds drift over it. Once you have experienced the reality of sunshine you may weep, but you will never feel ice about your heart again."

pg 143

"He paints what he sees with such loving accuracy that the beauty that is not seen shines through it."

...but there was nothing self-conscious in her queenliness. It was her own as the scent of a flower is its own and she new nothing about it.

pg 174

The heart of a man who is ready to give his life for his friend is never black.
