I Love You Israel!
I refuse to be controlled by religiosity and man pleasing traditions. I want to know the depth of the heart of my God -YHVH- and literally live and move and have my entire being in Him alone. It is there, in the secret place that I've found a Love I searched for my entire life. This Love no human can offer me.
"Life is way too short to waste time doing average things, since average things produce average results. I would rather search for the greater things in life and die searching; better this than to never search and always wonder."
I'm truly in Love with Jesus! His Love, Mercy, Grace and Compassion flow through the very core of all I am and live for.
Deep within me is a continual cry for Justice that's unquenchable. It's His cry that echos because He is a just God.
Knowing that humanity suffers every second of every day breaks my heart and wounds my soul.
I love to be around those that are seemingly unacceptable to the world in which we live. The downcast and those hidden in obscurity ~for the time being.
I pray His LOVE and FIRE consumes us all to truly reach out to our fellow man, woman and most of all the children who suffer needlessly.~Donna Ann +
The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.- Mark 1:3
I have but one candle of life to burn, and I would rather burn it out in a land filled with darkness than in a land flooded with light -John Keith Falconer
What I Have Lived For -Bertrand Russell
Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind. These passions, like great winds, have blown me hither and thither, in a wayward course, over a great ocean of anguish, reaching to the very verge of despair. I have sought love, first, because it brings ecstasy - ecstasy so great that I would often have sacrificed all the rest of life for a few hours of this joy. I have sought it, next, because it relieves loneliness--that terrible loneliness in which one shivering consciousness looks over the rim of the world into the cold unfathomable lifeless abyss. I have sought it finally, because in the union of love I have seen, in a mystic miniature, the prefiguring vision of the heaven that saints and poets have imagined. This is what I sought, and though it might seem too good for human life, this is what--at last--I have found. With equal passion I have sought knowledge. I have wished to understand the hearts of men. I have wished to know why the stars shine. And I have tried to apprehend the Pythagorean power by which number holds sway above the flux. A little of this, but not much, I have achieved. Love and knowledge, so far as they were possible, led upward toward the heavens. But always pity brought me back to earth. Echoes of cries of pain reverberate in my heart. Children in famine, victims tortured by oppressors, helpless old people a burden to their sons, and the whole world of loneliness, poverty, and pain make a mockery of what human life should be. I long to alleviate this evil, but I cannot, and I too suffer. This has been my life. I have found it worth living, and would gladly live it again if the chance were offered me.
~The Prologue to Bertrand Russell's Autobiography
Some wish to live within the sound of a chapel bell;
I wish to run a rescue mission within a yard of hell.
-C.T. Studd
I am my beloved's, and his desire is toward me.~Song of Solomon 7:10
"Where has your beloved gone, O most beautiful among women? Where has your beloved turned, That we may seek him with you?"
