If you'd ever like to see what my life with the Lord is like, when I didn't know correctly from my high school days all the way up through life-changing Japan, college, growing, dental school, and beyond, feel free to friend and read up anytime!

It is to give glory to God, the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Son through hard work, nature, skills, and beauty that are all inspired by the Holy Spirit to create pieces that can testify for God.

So I realized that many times people will make themselves more beautiful for the person they love and want to make an effort for.

Before I just thought God will think its fine either way, I don't have to overdo it, he sees the good bad and ugly, etc. Sometimes I can dress up and other times I can be lazy. It's up to the situation and what's appropriate. Seems reasonable right?!

But then I was like, if people try so hard to impress a physical person that only sees them sometimes, but God sees me all the time and is more important than physical people, isn't it too sad to treat God as less than a person most of the time? We dress well for various events, even for job interviews, or to perform, or when meeting important or even unimportant people.

I'm not saying we should have full make up and fake eye lashes and designer clothes every day and to bed. But even just to be nice and healthy and conscious of ourselves before God. Raise the level! Are our thoughts good? What could I have done better? Even just wearing a smile makes a huuuuuge difference! Just as the state of the spirit is seen through the deeds/actions of the body, the thoughts/soul and our physical appearance are also connected.

Just like how Rapture is made through our daily life, how conscious we are of God and how we live with the Lord is also reflected in our appearances, how we carry ourselves, smiling, posture, and health. It shows that we value not only ourselves, but God, too. People also will see and respond to those changes as appropriate. Your appearances and health can also testify for you and the Lord.

I used to use not want to attract unwanted attention from guys as an excuse to not dress up. But actually guys will gravitate to you no matter what if you set the right environment, conversation, conditions, how you talk, what you let them do for you, how much time you spend, etc. It's not only based on looks. There are conditions and cracks that we set. We always have to be wary and wise no matter what. Same for our faith.

AND THEN!!!! When the Lord acknowledges you and says, _"Thank you for making yourself beautiful for me..." Inside and out. For this and that. I think that's what makes the extra work of taking action and beautifying all worth it. Because nothing truly valuable is just given to you for free right? No one wants an empty compliment.
And then I think God will also be happy too when I can sincerely tell Him:

"Thank YOU Lord. Because of you, I feel beautiful."

Inside and out.

Current Mood: thankful

So what happened was my alarm went off at 2:55am but since I went to sleep so late I was so tired that I got up but turned it off and laid back down.

In the next 33 minutes of being half alseep/mostly asleep again, there were all these thoughts of not getting up for morning service anymore because I could just read the proverbs later, could just sleep through the short time, was impossible to get up because I was already sleeping again, etc.

Amidst all those random thoughts I shifted in my bed and then suddenly heard the sound of metal falling through the wooden frame of my bed. Since I didn't remember taking off my rings I thought it was weird and feeling my finger both rings were gone (the engagement one and the wedding crystal one).

That woke me up and I got up and looked under the bed and found the engagement band one but couldn't find the diamond one.

I went to do morning prayer and service and was alert, feeling like normal and it wasn't hard like how the random drifting thoughts made morning service sound.

After service I went back to bed and found the diamond ring in front my my bed right away.

Angels are able to move your body and the Holy Son can stop you from seeing something. But they will not do it if you are not a certain level.

Not everyone can receive this kind of experience.

From it, there were two paths, to wake up or to not wake up.

It shows a spiritual level.

1. Holy Spirit, Your beauty sparkles more radiantly than the dew kissed petals, drenching the endless field's of wildflowers in the summer's dawn.

2. Father God, the depth of Your complexity and love are barely brushed by the vastness of which You created the universe, the Heavens, and the earth, for they are all by Your design. How much more profound and incredible the inner mind of God.

3. Holy Son Lord, Your love is patient as it waits for the sepia seed to realize its potential, have courage within the soil of Your loving arm, and begin to set forth green shoots of growth. Guided by Your light, life grows, blossoms, and blooms, bearing the fruit of victory.

4. The Savior of the new era is not touched by greed, selfishness, human limitations, and pain. He is only love. More steadfast and stern than the ivory statue, more kind than the cool breeze within the desert, he is perfect because of Love.

5. The harmony of the Trinity is more synchronous than any masterpiece of music, art, or dance. It flows with perfect pitch in every turn and stroke, and their sound heals the brokenness of human limitations and fills empty tears of despair into tears of joy.

6. As the brilliant light of the noonday sun shines through a canopy of verdant scales, the gentleness of its gold and jade rays soften, smiling, as our eyes meet.

7. She moves with the grace and poise of a crystal clear stream, twirling and gliding over perfectly polished and round stones as She gathers all the waters of life into the majesty of the ocean.

8. That comfort of Heaven fulfilled, the warmth of the softest sheet nestled against, and the contentment of unending victories, can be achieved and felt both in the end and in the process. But only if it is enjoyed with You all the while.

9. As the sound of the waves wash over the glittering sand, white sea foam drawing a lattice of diamonds over the edges of shore, so your whispers of love echo within the divine shell of sound.

10. Among so many elegant instruments, the chords of the notes, the vibrations of the strings, you have given us the ability to sing. No matter what the sound, when we praise you hear our heart, our voices become the best instrument of all.

11. What color can possibly describe her? In a spectrum beyond human eyes to Heaven, of all the possible combinations and impossibilities made possible, she is a brilliance, warmth, and mosaic that encompasses more than any canvas can ever capture. Infinite. Impossible made possible.

12. Soft silver light, burnished and brilliant gold. A pairing of all things beautiful, mysterious, and majestic, birthing the hero of new history in the form of Love.

13. It is intimate here, the key with which you have called me. Putting all else aside, surely we must meet. This time is brief, and the work of the world constantly calls. But as long as we do it together, there will never be a time apart. Only You have the power, love, and ability to be with me at all times, dancing through the mission of life itself and beyond.

14. The Holy Spirit is the original flower. The model of the first design, the original, and so incredible that She surely can never wilt. Even the finest rose and wildflowers must rest in the winter, but Her beauty never grows cold and outlasts even the portraits painted after Her. Praise be to Her, for she is not beautiful merely because she is beautiful, but because her heart is Love.

The Lord was beside her as soon as she had barely called his name

And before she could ask he had pulled her hand to whisk her away.

Before them was a large home of unique architecture in white, trimmed in gold

The Lord suggested they go within

Within the lobby the walls were adorned with pictures of the savior and the Lord

Among them was a great image of the pair sharing a white mug with twin handles among the clouds

The steam rising from the cup formed the shape of a heart.

She asked where I was, and as they approached the kitchen, my soul was not cooking, but cleaning

Her hair was held back by a circlet, and as the dishes were done, vacuuming was next.

All the little balls of dust clinging to the dress were picked away with meticulous attention.

As she cleaned, the Lord was also beside her, just as he was beside the one who visited

For he is the personal savior of every individual and we must make him each our own.

The Lord patted the head of the visitor and encouraged her to sing.

For it was the sounds offered of song and praises, vibrant, enthusiastic, full of joy and love

That kept the home and atmosphere likewise, free of darkness.

The Lord is always encouraging me.

And the best place I could ever be

Is by his side.

I've learned to cook for the Lord!

He told me that I was a good star of faith

And reached for me from the Heavens

To take my hands in his

In gestures and words

Are the fruitful seeds of love

Soon afterward, Jesus went to a town called Nain, and his disciples and a large crowd went along with him. As he approached the town gate, a dead person was being carried out—the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the town was with her.

When the Lord saw her, his heart went out to her and he said, “Don’t cry.”

Then he went up and touched the bier they were carrying him on, and the bearers stood still.

He said, “Young man, I say to you, get up!”

The dead man sat up and began to talk, and Jesus gave him back to his mother.

They were all filled with awe and praised God.

“A great prophet has appeared among us,” they said. “God has come to help his people.”

This news about Jesus spread throughout Judea and the surrounding country.

Luke 7

~*~

Do you read this, think that the miracle is a dead man coming to life, and move on?

People miss so much that is actually in the Bible.

When I read one level deeper, I was touched by Jesus' compassion on the widow that had just lost her son when we could have simply passed her by. In an age without advanced medicine, hygiene, or knowledge, death is not an unfamiliar occurrence.

But it goes so much deeper than that.

Is it by chance that we meet the Lord?

To a widow, a woman 2,000 years ago was nothing without a man, had no strength, and no power to influence or live well in society. Her son wasn't just her son, he was her life.

Even if it seems like a coincidence that we met the Lord, if we recognize and meet him, we can gain what is most valuable to us.

How sad it is for people who meet the Lord, but don't recognize him, misunderstand, don't care, and pass him by?

Do you even realize how amazing it is to realize even this much from a scripture in the Bible overlooked by everyone?

While he was in Bethany, reclining at the table in the home of Simon the Leper, a woman came with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume, made of pure nard. She broke the jar and poured the perfume on his head.

Some of those present were saying indignantly to one another, “Why this waste of perfume? It could have been sold for more than a year’s wages and the money given to the poor.” And they rebuked her harshly.

“Leave her alone,” said Jesus. “Why are you bothering her? She has done a beautiful thing to me. The poor you will always have with you, and you can help them any time you want. But you will not always have me. She did what she could. She poured perfume on my body beforehand to prepare for my burial. Truly I tell you, wherever the gospel is preached throughout the world, what she has done will also be told, in memory of her.”

Then Judas Iscariot, one of the Twelve, went to the chief priests to betray Jesus to them. They were delighted to hear this and promised to give him money. So he watched for an opportunity to hand him over.

Mark 14

~*~

Think about this woman and Jesus' position.

What does a very expensive perfume of pure nard express and symbolize beyond the item itself?

You have to read the Bible according to the time period.

A designer brand perfume in modern days can be worth a lot of money, but they are hardly special.

She realized who he was while others didn't, what he would inevitably have to do, and in her great insight and deepest heart, she loved him as her bridegroom and gave him her greatest possession, something that was saved for a woman's wedding gift and dowry.

If you look at the last verse, why did Judas Iscariot turn from his beloved Savior and betray him? These verses are not separate.

If one plants the seed of positive or negative thoughts and perception, that seed can grow or fester regardless of the true situation.

We have to realize the truth of the one that God sends for the time period.

"I possess something that there is only one of. When it blooms and blossoms fully it will become the greatest beauty."

I should know that it is. I just want to check and confirm. Is it our love?

"She doesn't know what it is?"

He holds up a bouquet of white flowers.

I know that it is.
