Jesus

Jesus.

Your eyes are like amber glass

Your warmth like cinnamon atop sugary bread out the oven

Your voice is more beautiful than the undercurrents of the ocean

More deep than rolling thunder

More gentle than rose petals fresh with dew in the opening sun of early May

You are so precious to me

You are more pleasant and radiant than rolling hills of green sprinkled with bright polychromatic flowers

You are more soft than powdery snow glinting like pearl beads from the sky

You are the tender of my garden, the One who waters my soul with sweet intimacy

You are the Lover of my soul.

My nearest and dearest friend

My Savior

The Lord of my life

You saved me in every possible way that I could be saved…and I am Yours eternally.

“Visions of Celestial Love is a book of inspiring quotes and beautiful prose about God’s unconditional love for mankind. The insights of this book help us to understand that it was the Father’s great love for us that made a way for us to have life together with His Son, Jesus Christ. Through it we get a glimpse into the true meaning of Christ’s sacrifice of love expressed through His death, burial and resurrection as God’s magnificent gift of grace to us. His blood made it possible for all those who put their faith in Him to have fellowship with His Father again. I am confident that at the completion of this book, you will also seek after God with your whole heart and want to be in His presence forever.” —Alice Paige, True-Heart friend of author

Let My Soul Expand in Worship

Let my soul expand in worship to the One who is more beautiful than a thousand waterfalls, each flowing with liquid clearer than crystal and more bright than opal blue.

They form mountains in the clouds and their rivers of spirit-water create the vastness of the skies.

Let the aromatic rains of worship fall and cover the earth! Let my heart drink in His lovely image.

He is more powerful than the gravitational pull of a thousand planets.

He is more majestic than the mightiest mountain, more breathtaking than all of the canopies of trees in the amazon forest.

He is grander than the vastness of outer space.

Nothing can be compared to His beauty.

Infinity cannot describe His wonder.

To find Him is to find life.

To seek Him is the highest joy.

To love Him is to have tasted His love.

To be filled with His love is to be in a union higher than Heaven.

He created you to be filled with His goodness, with His life.

This is who you are; this is who He made you to be.

There is no fight for it, no struggle; He longs to fill empty places; it is His duty, His high delight, His supreme pleasure…to heal…to fill…to love.

And His love is like a magnet that cannot be pulled away from you, for you were created for it and you cannot uncreate yourself.

His love created you, therefore you were designed to be one with His love.

Nothing is as Sweet as Jesus

Nothing is as sweet as Jesus

My gosh!

Who can compare with Him?

There is none

You are the Romancer

Your sweetness is more sugary than a billion berries juicing from the mouth of a child in the warm summer air

You are lovelier than a field of lavender

More extravagant than the stars of the galaxy

More majestic than Niagara Falls

More peaceful than a bubbling brook

More mysterious than an Atlantic cave with glowing blue waters

More free than a bird’s song

More captivating than the wings of a butterfly flickering in a field

More desired than a lover…than gold, than riches

You are what I crave

You are Who I crave

You are all

You are the bringer and bearer of peace

The Lover of all lovers

Your love is like translucent waters that glow in an array of colors that resemble a rainbow

Those waters move and dance like silk in the wind

Those waters rush into the broken

Passing through skin they alight white and enter into the blood, detoxifying every impurity

The waters of your love dart like an arrow to the heart with all the force of a whirlwind

Yet as it splashes inside it feels softer than a dewy rose petal

Your love goes straight to the spirit of a man and soaks and revives every dead area

Your love is amazing

You make Yourself one with us

And nothing is sweeter than You
