You've been faithfully by our side, Took thy hand and were our guide, Your grace has brought us here, And you say you'll never leave. You've been the anchor of our life, Gave us strength to believe, You have kept us and held us, With you nothing is impossible. Times when there's been silence, When life has rushed us by, You're right there time after time, You've never forgotten about us. Your angels keep an eye on us, Day and night we're never alone, With peace from sunset to

"For it is time for judgment to begin with the household of God." (1 Peter 4:17) For many years now the Lord has been speaking to me about His dealings with the church (also corresponding to His dealings with me!). I’m talking shaking and fault lines, fire and judgement. This word is another layer of an arc of revelation that the Lord has been weaving together over a number of years. In January 2021 the Lord gave me a prophetic word that I wrote up in 2023 called ‘I am Ra

Dear child, Kindness is a gift that, when you share it, deposits my kingdom into a person's life. Kindness mirrors my character to the recipient. You are sharing my kingdom's values to the world. When you show kindness, kindness is kingdom currency. When you show kindness, you impact that person's life, not just for that moment, but for eternity. Seeds of kindness bear fruit in the lives you touch and in the lives of the other people that they come into contact with. Never un

Jack Black was a stunning, black Friesian workhorse. All he had ever known was work. He used his strength to pull carts that his owner would attach to his harness. Jack Black would obediently pull anything that was asked of him. He was strong but also gentle. Even when working, if a child came near and wanted to pet him, he would lower his head so they could stroke his soft, velvety nose. At the end of the day, he loved it when his harness and cart were removed, and his owner

We are often left to wonder Could we have done more? A different route to explore To foresee what was in store. "If only" is a trap that makes us insecure It holds in our worst fears. The non-potential of going forward - and drowning in all our tears. There is so much in God's purpose That often many fail to see. The potential that is out there Of what each of us can be. So even in the absence, There is something to be sure: A life serving others is how - GRACE and HOPE endur

Come sit with me, Lord For I have nothing left to give. Come sit with me, Lord For if you don’t I know I cannot live. Come sit with me, Lord For my heart is all alone. Come sit with me, Lord I need You, And You alone. Come sit with me, Lord I am broken and alone. Come sit with me, Lord For I cannot carry on. Come sit with me, Lord You’re the answer, That I crave. Come sit with me, Lord For I want to really live. Sit with me, Lord I have nothing left to give But if You sit wit

( If you have not read yesterday's first part, then find it on www.heartscribe.co.uk) Then there are the Joshuas who find themselves leading the people who have been well-versed in the business of kingdoms, who know the heart of God and who have remained in his presence. These Joshuas are to take my people from the structures that have kept them in the wilderness for decades into their promised land, the land flowing with milk and honey, a place for my people to flourish, say

When it’s time, it’s time. When it’s time, it’s time to laugh. When it’s time, it’s time to cry. When it’s time, it’s time to live It’s also time to die. When it’s time to leave It’s harder to perceive. But when it’s time to stay What do you say, only obey. When it’s time to move It’s time to move. When it’s time to stop – stop. But when it’s time to go – Go. When it’s time to make It’s also time to break. But when it’s time to hear Then it’s time to stop Wait and listen. Wha

I'm raising up the Noahs and Joshuas in this season, in which they will perform a much-needed service for those around them, says the Lord Let's first look at Noah. Noah was a righteous man who believed in me against all the odds. He endured the hatred of the world, built something that no one thought had a purpose, and was mocked; yet he built. We provided a place of safety, even salvation, for the people to be safe from the coming calamity, the great tribulation that afflic

You will dream once again You will laugh once again You will love once again You will because you can You will fly once again You will explore once again You will dance once again You will because you can You will bloom once again You will overcome once again You will aspire once again You will because you can You will believe once again You will achieve once again You will inspire once again You will because you can. Not because you can't - But by God's grace you can. ©️Sara

The farmer gets up out of bed. He's weary. As he splashes cold water over his face, he thinks to himself, " Who would want to be a farmer nowadays"? He struggles into his overalls; they are stiff with hardened mud. He leaves his wife sleeping, as it's 5.00 am. The weary farmer walks down the stairs and starts the fire to heat the pan of water for a cup of tea. He knows that later, when his morning chores are done, he will come home to a steaming bowl of porridge with fresh ho

Pyramidial Orchid The pink flower danced in the long grass. Its petals were small but perfectly formed. The yellow centre looked like a little yellow sun But the single dewdrop sparkled like a diamond. The tall grass waved gracefully A butterfly fluttered and danced over the grasses It landed lightly on the flower. As the heat of the day grew The grass bent in the clawing heat, The little flower just smiled at the sun. As the day moved to a close The flower continued to follo

On an exceedingly hot summer's day, the United Kingdom was experiencing its third heatwave of the year. We had witnessed record-breaking temperatures of 37°. It also happened to be Wimbledon tennis fortnight and the World Cup. The England men’s football team had only days earlier managed to secure a place in the quarter-finals. I wasn’t interested in either. The country was basking in its glory and in high temperatures. I was currently in the process of receiving chemoth

The stallion stood in the corner near the tall trees. In the shade. He watched He lowered his elegant head and nibbled the grass. The mares moved closer. He snorted defiantly. He moved away. Then He raised his majestic head, Looked towards the towering mountain tops. He snorted again. He began to trot Slowly at first. Every muscle, sinew and joint Flowing in perfect harmony. His jet-black mane and tail flowing in the wind. His hooves pounding on the dry ground. Gently, then a

Dear child, do you trust me? Do you trust me in your pain? Do you trust me when life is an uphill struggle? Do you trust that I have your future in my capable hands? I know trusting me is not easy when you're not seeing me remove the obstacles from your life. It's hard to trust me when you get scary results from your doctors. But have I ever abandoned you, child? Have I ever let you down? Look back over your life and remind yourself of all the times I provided for you and for

May the Journey be full of grace, Its highways travelled in faith, See road junctions signposted love, Directions are highlighted with trust, Every completed mile finds peace - Kept moving by the powerful fuel of hope. ©️Sarah Joy Holden

Dear child, When people speak against you. When they slander your character. Do not retaliate. Love them anyway. This is what it means to love your enemies. The person who is unkind to you, is letting the enemy infiltrate their life. They are not living in step with me. So don’t react to the person. Instead, pray for them. Ask me to work on their heart and character. When you pray for someone who is unkind to you. Your heart softens towards them. You will start to see the per

I sat, waiting with an expectant heart, wondering what kind of tray Jesus would present to me. He came quietly into my space and stretched out his arms. In his hands was a marble tray. He set it on a little table in front of me. I tried hard to hide my disappointment. I thought my tray would be a handcrafted wooden one. Why marble, I thought? As I looked down at the white marble, I noticed streaks of gold running through it. The marble was cold to the touch. I chuckled, think

Have you ever wondered who you are? Have you struggled to understand thus far? Have you tried to work it out only to be confused? Have you asked others only to be badly bruised? Who you are is often hidden within you, You don't see it, know it and don't have a clue. And yet others speak over you lies, Breaking your heart with tears fill your eyes. Do you remember that word that cuts so deep? That word so harsh it broke you and made you weep? Do you remember the effect it

God's grace is worth more, Much more than I deserve, Greater than I can give, Joy to give and receive. God's grace is so divine; Something to treasure. His grace is immeasurable, It encompasses all of time. Grace is the exercise of love; A love that took my place, When Jesus died for me, God's riches at Christ's expense. In God's beautiful garden of grace, Where my heart flutters free, Beneath the shelter of His tree, A haven where one feels safe. Never beyond
