| Seek My Face and Not Just My Hand by Elena Ramirez |
|
Child, Seek my face, And not just my hand. Let me show you, To help you to understand. I love you with an everlasting kindness. With me you can find great success. Or, do you settle for less? You are so caught up now, To make ends meet, That your focus is off of me And, in seeking compensation, You are failing the test, the lesson. You will miss me and, surely, be in defeat. Turn around and turn to me. Seek me, wholeheartedly. Seek my truth and Hold it close to your heart. I will never leave you or depart. Do you hear my voice? You will, if you make the choice To seek me, my wild child. Turn right now, right now, here, And listen as you hear. Pray, in faith, for me to make a way. I will guide you and will not turn away. But, do not stray. Stay close to me. Repent of any sin and then, again, begin. Hidden or in darkness, I will give you sight. But, let me bring it to the light. Do not let anything else Become your priority. By taking your eyes off of me, You would lose your sight And be in darkness of night. Remember, My ways are right. Seek My Kingdom And my righteousness, With the greatest of awareness. All these things will be added unto you. But, you must do What my word tells you to. For, who I AM, In holiness divine: The earth is mine and the fullness thereof; I will give to you, my child, with my love. I will send blessings from above. Do you want to know how to live? Then, also, give. Plant a seed for someone's need. Turn away from selfish greed. For if you knew, it is better to give then to receive. The enemy would leave You would bind; His plan, against all man, Woman and child. But, it is by my blood I shed, On the cross, to take this loss What a better world it would be, You and others in victory. Do you have the vision to see? Or, do you stand by, helpless, And let the enemy steal, From you, all that is true? For my gospel's sake, Do not let the enemy take the word. For, you have heard I am here. With me there is nothing to fear. Do not let greed steal your blessing. But, let your yearning be directed to me See only me and not just my hand to receive. For when you believe, The blessings will not leave. Do not look to any person As your resource. But, stay on course with me. Trust in the plan I have established, Through me, for you, my child. By my Spirit, I will guide. My child, seek me and pray, And believe, and know. For, to those in faith, I show; I will make a way ... As you seek my face. For, by my grace, it comes As you understand My ways As I have spoken to you, today. Seek my face and not just my hand. By my Spirit, you can withstand. II Chronicles 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. Hosea 5:15 I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early. Psalm 27:8 When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek. Father, I bless you, my Lord, as I come to your throne. For, I am weary, as I have, been in a spiritual battle. How good it is to know that I can come to you, and seek your face, and that you love me. As I listen to you speak to my heart, and know, you are able to do a good thing.... For, you do provide for my needs, according to your riches, through Christ, Jesus. I will trust in that, today and everyday. For, it is a testimony, today. Even though, Lord, I see, how people hustle each other, how they cheat and steal, and make someone's life miserable ... I will not give place to that and I will not let it steal my joy. My trust is in you. Father, your system, is not the system, of the world. You have mercy, you are kind, and you make a way when there seems to be no way. How wonderful, that you speak to my heart and comfort me, and those that would seek you. I know because, today, someone tried to hustle and cheat me. I thought, in anger, truthfully, how rude, how crude. Lord, get them. I was shocked! But, You made a way and set me free. You caused me to escape a trap, they tried to set. I am free, indeed. I will never take that for granted. I thank you, for just doing a new thing and restoring my hope, my resources, and my love. Why is it that I know, you will restore? Hmmm..... (a private thought, between me and my Lord) Thanks Father! You just put a smile on my face. Because of that and all that you are to me, my dear Lord, I seek your face and not just your hand. In Jesus name, Amen |
