“God be merciful to us and bless us,
And cause His face to shine upon us.” Psalms 67:1
We can communicate in countless ways through the expression on our faces.
Lord, thank You for shining upon us, causing our inner shadows to flee. And here’s a simple poem . . .
Nothing More Wonderful
When You shine
Your face upon us
our coldest
places melt
and we know
in an instant
there’s nothing
more wonderful
than You.

If only the world could know Deb. I pray God’s face will shine upon you and your family today.
Thank you for blessing me and my family with that prayer! God bless you too!
What a grand title and thought, Debbie … no distortions, confusions, perversions or exagerations in God’s warming. I pray this reaches the coldest of hearts.
I’m praying with you, Roger! God bless you as He shines upon you today! Have I missed your posts, Roger, or have you not posted for awhile?
Amen. There is nothing more than God; the light of our salvation
I love that , Emerald . . .the light of our salvation! God bless you, His beloved daughter!
How wonderful it is to have the presence and blessings of God shining down upon us…. it certainty takes away the dark times that we may face. Lord bless you Deb.
Indeed it does, Pastor Rob! God bless you as it stays shiny in your heart!
Mmmm Love this– as I do all of your poetry! I was just dwelling on His warming, illuminating, revealing light yesterday. So thankful and blessed by Him, and by your beautiful poems.
Thank you so much! What a beautiful comment .. .and I love you thinking about His warming, illuminating, revealing light. Something so wonderful about that! God bless you and all the ways He keeps shining upon you!
Love the title of your post…what gift God has given you. His light can reach the coldest heart and thaw it out. Good post.
“…When You shine
Your face upon us…”
For those of us who have been believers for a while, we remember Graham Kendrick’s great song, “Shine Jesus Shine,” written for the March for Jesus Movement in the late 1980′s and early 1990′s. The chorus began with these great words – “Shine Jesus shine, fill this land with the Father’s glory…”
Great poem. This might me a great day for you and Aub to pitch horseshoes in the park. Ringers count 3 points. Don’t cheat.
Now I’m singing that song , Mr. Larry .. .but that’s a good thing!
Thank you! And God bless you as He shines upon you today!
p.s. we cleaned someone’s house today . ..and then it was raining horses and cows by the time we got done and headed home, so no horseshoes today. Maybe tomorrow!
This is wonderful, Sis Deb–and what a “wow” picture to go with your lovely words from Him! God bless you as you serve Him today–love, sis Caddo
I realized as I got that picture, it was from Pastor Bryan’s blog.
God bless you and shine extra bright upon you today, chasing all the gray away! love you bunches, sweet Sis Caddo Delight!
Amen!! What a great and wonderful Saviour Jesus is! Wonderfully Done!
Love you
Love you and God bless you, precious Pat! Oh Yes He is wonderful . ..all the time!
I hear a lot on the news about global warming and how it is changing the evolution
Hope I didn’t throw you off with that title , Terry! God bless you and all you do. May God’s face shine softly upon you.
I love “causing our inner shadows to flee”! And I agree that “there’s nothing more wonderful than” Him, Debbie. Sometimes I just need to do the next thing and remember this…
Blessings ~ Wendy xo
