One of my favorite things to do after cleaning is light candles throughout our home,
filling every corner of every room with scents of autumn.
I love a clean house,
I love candles,
and
I love fall.
I also love when I read a verse in the Bible that gives me a personal glimpse of God as Someone who loves certain things too.
Psalm 141:21 says,
May my prayer be set before you like incense,
may the lifting up of my hands be like the evening sacrifice.
Just as I love to walk into my home and breathe in the cozy scents of spices,
I believe God loves to breathe in our prayers.
How differently would we approach our times of talking with God if we viewed them as cozy, warm, and inviting to Him?
He longs to hear from us.
He breathes in our words and is pleased.
He sees our out-stretched hands as evening sacrifices.
When is the last time you lifted both hands towards Heaven?
It’s a humbling experience and can feel unnatural,
but there’s something powerful about this small act of worship.
What if our world was filled with people praying and lifting their hands towards Heaven?
Can you even imagine the aroma of Heaven in moments like that?
Let’s fill Heaven today with sweet scents as we lift prayers and our hands toward Him who loves us most
Have a happy Monday.
In December of 2007 as our youngest son, Nick, was fighting brain cancer, I began to blog. Writing provided a way for me to release all of my questions, fears, and doubts. It also allowed me to share the ups and downs of Nick's journey with people who were praying for him all over the world. When Nick went Home in November of 2008, my blog became my way of searching for God in the midst of my deep heartache. My heart was broken and grief brought to the surface every emotion imaginable. Being able to release those emotions through my writing brought a sense of purpose to my pain. Having already walked the road of grief in 1992 when we lost our daughter to SIDS, I knew I needed a way to keep from falling into a pit of depression and despair. I had walked close to the edge of a bottomless pit when we lost our daughter,and I knew I couldn't let myself get that close to the edge again. This blog has been and continues to be my tiny corner of the world where I can share My Heart as I journey through God's Word.......thus the name........ My Heart His Words. Thank you for taking time to share life with me. If we do not meet while here on earth, I look forward to hearing all about your life when we reach our final destiny.........Heaven!
