He Knows How to Make You Happy

God knows every hair on your head. He knows how to make you happy. He knows how to blow you away. My four year old has just learnt to whistle backwards. He has wanted to whistle for a long time and now I hear little happy whistles all day long and he says 'I'm so happy I can whistle' The same thing happened to me when I was about 5 I was in a strange place with cousins on a farm in northern victoria. I learnt to whistle that was enough to fix me. Can you think of examples in your life where you were blown away. 'He can do exceedingly abundantly above all we ask or think.' Recently my family had a 1900 bill yes $ waived. Admittedly the charges were almost totally unfounded and the trade exchange was experiencing a lot of grief from customers but wow I was thankful.

White as Snow

When my father was about to leave this world I was there talking to him and I got this word that his sins though they were scarlet were as white as snow. This is a Scripture I delivered to him as his hours waned away. I witnessed him looking as directly north as anyone could possibly, just before his eyes closed forever.

The first time and last time I ever saw falling snow was in Haarlem, Holland. I was 21 and met my grandmother for the first time. I looked out of her cosy window. It was a sight to behold ...falling snow. The small fir in her yard was decorated the car tops and across the road the deep forest was crisp green and glittered. I took a photo with an camera I'd purchased for an aunt. It was beautiful. Many years later I was to write a poem about snow: the hidden treasures of the snow. God asked Job about this: Have you considered the hidden treasures of the snow?

Science tells us that each snow flake is unique in design, independent, a work of art from the heavens.

Perfect

Vanessa Amorosi has a hit out 'Perfect' Is there such a thing? Eden was perfect. Adam and Eve were perfectly happy in the garden. They had relationship with God and everything they needed and wanted at their fingertips. They were given the task of looking after creation the garden and the animals. What went wrong? They wanted to taste the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil and what God said would happen if they did, did happen. And they would surely die. Banished from the glorious garden, to labour over the land with thorns and weeds. Life was now going to be hard and bodies were going to wear out. But God made a way of reconciliation so we could live forever and have relationship with him again. He sent Jesus to take away our sin and whoever believed in Him would live in Him. He is the exact representation of the Father, it says in the Scriptures. 'If you've seen me you've seen the Father.' Life is perfect when we are in His hand no matter what comes our way.
