FIELD of DREAMS

 

FIELD of DREAMS


Swaying in the breeze

just waiting to tease

a field of dreams awaits

pronouncing someone's fate.


Snow white, always innocent,

without a flowery fragrance,

every summer a field of dreams

decorates hills and meadow scenes.


According to tradition

while applying subtraction

one-by-one each plucked petal

seals the fate of earthly mortals.


Have you ever played this game?

A game of innocence, not vain.

He loves me, he loves me not.

Of course he does, how could he not!


Daisy happens to mean innocence.

This game is played by many a lass

while all over the world innocent lads

don't know if they should be mad or quite glad.

Never doubt that the Lord God loves you

for the Bible tells us through and through.

Not because of what you did or didn't do,

but because of who God is, yes, it's true.


Unconditional love

from heaven above

always freely given to His children,

though beyond our human comprehension.


For this reason I kneel before the Father,

from whom his whole family in heaven and on earth derives its name.

I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power

through his Spirit in your inner being,

so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith.

And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love,

may have power, together with all the saints,

to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ,

and to know this love that surpasses knowledge -

that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

Ephesians 3:14-19


God has poured out his love into our hearts

by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.

Romans 5:5b


God demonstrates his own love for us in this:

While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Romans 5:8


Neither death nor life,

neither angels nor demons,

neither the present nor the future,

nor any powers,

neither height nor depth,

nor anything else in all creation

will be able to separate us from the love of God

that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 8:38-39


How great is the love the Father has lavished on us,

that we should be called children of God!

And that is what we are!

I John 3:1


This is how we know what love is:

Jesus Christ laid down his life for us.

I John 3:16


This is love: he loved us and sent his Son

as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.

I John 4:10


We know and rely on the love God has for us.

I John 4:16

  1. Yes, I have played that game with the daisies. Was fun as a child.
    Sure is no guessing about whether or not Yahweh loves us, is there?

    1. Unconditional love! Was reading about Jesus choosing disciples yesterday. We were CHOSEN also. Hallelujah!
