June of 1997

It is not by Man's hand

BUT IS BY THE HAND OF THE GREAT I AM.....

WHO CALLS OUT man, or woman...to fulfill HIS PLAN !

For years this one battled against His Will...

'n HE refused to release me from the Potter's Wheel.

Did not want to experience the meaning of Sacrifice......

yet after many tremendous battles, finally realized....

that Real Life in the Spiritual realm...is His Fight...

so self fell at the Altar....'n said , here am I .

No longer desire approval of men...or even honor...

but only the approval of the HEAVENLY FATHER !

Hebrews 11:6.....did read until the heart became Fixed.....

yet it was a slow process of fully understanding this.

Also had discovered old books written long ago , by powerful men...

'n the heart saw that they were filled with springs of Water within....

'n now...can't wait to see them, in the yet seen Promise Land !

GOD has at last given me time of much Solitude....

which refreshes.....as grass is by the morning dew...

'n the soul clings to the words of Solomon, Chapter 2 !

The phone rings....or at the door comes a knock....

back into reality......I say....o' no , not now GOD...

yet am reminded , there will come times of Solitude again for this child .

O' nothing good is who I am....so deserve hell's flames.....

yet GOD has chosen to lift this one up to a higher plain....

only to be a Witness of His Love, Mercy , 'n Grace....

that will bring forth GLORY unto HIS PRECIOUS NAME !

I ever stand in pure awe....of HIS MERCY seen.......

o' the wonder of the Tree made into a CROSS; setting this one free !

JESUS is the KING....'n my precious HIGH PRIEST....

'n someday ...." a Bride " .... I will be !

Truly ...all Glory is due unto the King........

'n I will strive earnestly...in obeying HIS Authority.

my humble testimony
