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

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

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

( 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

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

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

Dear child, do you go to other people asking for their opinions or advice before coming to me? Please don't use me as your last option. Come to me first. I am the first and the last, the beginning and the end. I created you. I knew you better than you know yourself. I know how you process situations. I know what gives you anxiety. I know what brings you joy. I know what is best for you. In this world, you have so many voices clamouring for your attention, screaming at you fro

One of my favourite lines in the Bible is “It came to pass,” which appears many times. Yes, I know that modern-day translations sometimes phrase it differently, but that short phrase has often spoken deeply to me. It's often overlooked as just a phrase that opens a dialogue or story, but it's often key to understanding how God's Kingdom and His Creation work. I think we would all agree that things in life are constantly changing and nothing seems to stay the same. We look a

Walking down the leafy lane She noticed the quiet. She stopped Listened. There was actually so much sound. Not noise Sound. The thrush twittering. The blackbird calling. Even the sheep were bleating. She stopped further along. Then sat on a large flat grey boulder. She listened. Nature was just doing its thing. She laughed at the lamb dancing on its mother’s back. The bumble bees humming. While flitting from flower to flower. The hover fly looked as if it were choosing a spec

God ordained your very life, God held you from day one, God saw who you were to be. God created and formed you, God chose you for his purpose, God has made you unique. God guides you through the days, God protects you through the nights, God guides you till your final hours. God knows your thoughts, God understands your worries, God is familiar with all your ways. God saw you, God sees you, God knows you by name, God delights in you always. ©️Sarah Joy Holden

Scruffy and Penny were the last two dogs to be sold. They had been moved to the local kennels as Mr Brown had sold his farm and would be packing all the farm equipment and taking it to the local ‘Sale Yard.’ Before moving into a new townhouse in a few weeks’ time, everything on the farm would have to go! Penny was a beautiful dog, she had a chestnut-coloured coat and deep brown eyes. The advert in the local weekly newspaper said that she was ‘’Very placid and good company.

Dear child, in this world, people are speaking ill of one another. They are quick to see the bad in them. I created my people to live in unity with one another. When gold diggers pan for gold, they sift out everything that doesn't look like gold till they suddenly find that tiny nugget. Everyone has gold inside them. They often just need another person to bring it out of them. I ask you, my child, to seek out the gold in everyone you meet. Today, my child, go be a gold seeker

My tongue is so tired From shallow and fruitless talk. So parched, so dry, I crave water in this drought. Shoes worn, soles are shot From crooked ways and dangerous walks. I’m afraid to move forward. This world is so fraught. Where you are seems so far away. Endless thoughts of how to please, how to do, what to be Stuck in my own head; Thoughts of you roam in… And then flow out like the sea. Tides of life determining What I choose to believe. Truth is elusive, But so clear

Allow me to paint a picture for you to consider. Allow me to show you things that you have not seen or heard. Allow me to open your heart to the possibilities of what is to come. Allow me to reveal my heart to you in these precious moments. With eyes that see and ears that are attentive, look and hear. Look and hear what I have and what I say to you, my child. Look what I have brought to you and offer you now this day. Hear what I am speaking to you in my gentle, loving

Sarah is a dedicated woman of faith who frequently wrestles with material possessions. She believed that such belongings were essential for her acceptance in various social circles. Constantly fluctuating between secular beliefs and Christian values, she sought to blend the benefits of both worlds. Yet, she began to sense a profound internal shift brewing beneath the surface. With time, her indecisiveness became more unsettling. One day, while Sarah was in her room contemplat

Before I had even entered the house, I felt something was not right. A feeling of dread filled my whole being. The hair stood up on the back of my neck. Yet, I still turned the key and walked through my front door. I saw him, before he saw me; he was wearing a black hoodie. His hood covered all of his face. He was sitting cross-legged on my lounge floor. I froze, dropped everything I was carrying. They say your fight-or-flight response will kick in. Mine did not. I stood as i
