December, 2003 "Alphabet of Praises (Part 3, R - Z)"

What a joyous season!!! I love Christmastime. It is a special time of year when all hearts are open to love and the giving and receiving of gifts. May you receive the greatest gift of all - the love of God in Christ Jesus, provided on the Cross at Calvary and sealed forever in our hearts by the Holy Spirit.

To think that God became a man and dwelt in this body of flesh…I am amazed at His amazing love! I think Isaiah 9 says it so well.

Isaiah 9
6 For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given,
and the government will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called
Wonderful Counselor, [2] Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
7 Of the increase of his government and peace
there will be no end.
He will reign on David's throne
and over his kingdom,
establishing and upholding it
with justice and righteousness
from that time on and forever.
The zeal of the LORD Almighty
will accomplish this.

Knowing this and knowing God and knowing His love and knowing His plan for our lives makes me want to tell the world and shout and sing, even as the angels did on the night of His birth, "Glory to God in the Highest."

What a glorious way to finish our Love Letters for the year - completing our alphabet of praises to Him Who is worthy.

Won't you join now in praising our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ?

Many blessings to you and yours this holiday season.

L.O.V.E.,
Patty

Precious SAVIOR Jesus, SUFFERING SERVANT, Love's Perfect SACRIFICE, I come to You in SWEET SURRENDER, I lay myself on Your altar this day. I choose to SEPARATE myself from the things of the world and be joined SOLELY unto You.

I praise You Lord for You took the SHATTERED pieces of my life and made them whole. You took my SHAME and have clothed me with dignity and made my face radiant. You took my SORROWS, You drank my cup, You have opened in my SPIRIT, SPRINGS of joy. Lord, You SATISFY my soul, with SINGING lips my mouth SHALL praise You, I won't let a rock or STONE Lord, SING out my praise. I will not be SHAKEN Lord, I have put my hope in You. Jesus, You have lit a SPARK of passion in my SOUL, fan the flames of love fires between us. SHINE Your light into the
night. Your SHEKINAH glory STREAMS into my life.

Oh the SUNSHINE of my Father's SMILE, let Your favor SMILE upon me this day Daddy. You make me feel SO SPECIAL, SO loved. I invite You to do SOMETHING new, SOMETHING wonderful in my life today. SET me ablaze Lord, ignite the passion in my SOUL. Quicken the SWORD of the SPIRIT in my hands this day as I STUDY Your SCRIPTURES, where I find daily SUSTENANCE for my SPIRITUAL journey. May I be a pure channel today Lord for STREAMS of Living Water to flow through my life unto the SAINTS of God. SURPRISE me this day Lord God Almighty by SUDDENLY coming to this temple, I SEEK for You to move SUPERNATURALLY in my life. I give You glory!

He's SWEET I know, He's SWEET I know. Dark clouds may rise STORM winds may
blow. I'll tell the world wherever I may go. I've found a SAVIOUR, and He's SWEET I know. I praise you for the SALVATION found in your name! For there is no other name written under heaven whereby we Must be SAVED!

I'm SOLD out to this way of life. Your ways are the only SOLUTION in this
SOCIETY. SPEAK to my heart Lord. Give me your Holy word. If I can hear from
you. Then I'll know what to do. I won't go alone. I'll never go on my own. Just Let your SPIRIT guide, and let your love abide. SPEAK to my heart. Your the SHEPHERD and I your SHEEP. Oh Bless me now my SAVIOR, I come to thee!!!!

I praise you for taking away all SADNESS, SORROW, AND SICKNESS through your
SOLID STRENGTH. You are my STRONG tower. The righteous run in and are SAFE.
All that I have comes from you Lord, my Redeemer and my STRENGTH. I am only
anything because of You!!! You are the SAIL on my SHIP. I don't have to drift anymore! You are the SONG I SING! You are the SOFT whisper of Peace in time
of trouble! You are the SALT of the earth that will never lose its SAVOR! You are
are the Rock of my SALVATION! You loosed the SHACKLES off my feet so I can
dance to Praise You! Your love SATISFIES like no other! You looked beyond all my faults and SAW my need! You were the SCAPEGOAT for all SINS! You were
SCOURGED for my transgression! Why you love us SO...I'll never know! You took
away the STING from death, that I might have life, and that more abundantly!

friends and telling us your SECRETS! For every SECOND you SHELTER me from
danger! For rescuing me from SELF! For planting the SEED of Hope for my future! For SEIZING every opportunity to call me out of SIN! For SENDING your SON....the SOLE SACRIFICE!

I thank You for helping me to SEPERATE myself from a man I loved but didn't
love you anymore. You took the SORROW from my broken heart and became my
SHOULDER to lean on! When I thought I couldn't breathe because of the pain, You
were my STRENGTH! When I thought I couldn't SING, You were my SONG! You took away SADNESS and gave me a SMILE! When my feelings were raging for the
untouchable, You were my SERENITY!

I will SERVE You! For you have SET my feet on a rock and established my goings! Your word is SHARPER than any two edged SWORD. It is a SURE Foundation!
My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus blood and righteousness. I dare not trust the SWEETEST phrase, but only lean on Jesus name. On Christ the SOLID rock I STAND all other ground is SINKING SAND!

STANDING in God's word!

SOVEREIGN Lord, SUPREME ruler of the universe and SWEET lover of my SOUL. I
need You, Holy SPIRIT and I SEE You with my whole being. I come into Your
Holy SANCTUARY and SACRIFICE my thanks to You, oh Lord. I am SAVED,

triumph - for YOU ALONE ARE LORD!!!

~~U~~
Your word says Lord that praise looks good on the UPRIGHT! It is my UNSPEAKABLE joy to raise my voice in UNIQUE praises to You this day, oh that my praise would be UNCEASING! Praise is the language of my faith. Lord God Almighty, Creator of the UNIVERSE, UNDISPUTED Ruler of the Nations, You are UNEQUALLED, without compare, Your Beauty Jesus is UNPARALLELED, UNSURPASSED. You are UTTERLY lovely to my eyes. Your glory is UNFADING, Your UNCONDITIONAL love UNFAILING, Your favor UNENDING, Your purity UNCOMPROMISING, Your UNDERSTANDING UNFATHOMABLE! Awesome Lord, I consider Your wonders, Your magnificent creativity. In my waiting silence, Your majesty thunders. Glorious, UNRESTRAINED, beyond all UNDERSTANDING, oh the power of Your Name!

UNDENIABLE is Your UNQUENCHABLE love for me. I rest UNDER an UMBRELLA of Your UNCONDITIONAL love, Your true UNFAILING love, encompassing me, it's leading me, into Your very Presence, Mighty God. I rest in UNDISTURBED peace, the peace that You purchased for me Lord. You sought me when I was UNLOVELY and chose to go to the UTTERMOST ends of the earth to redeem me. Jesus, UNBLEMISHED Lamb of God, You paid the ULTIMATE sacrifice to UNLEASH me from my captivity, to bring about UNION with You. I praise You Father for Your UNFAILING faithfulness to me. That You are UNCHANGING Lord gives me great confidence in You and in Your Word.

You have opened up to me vistas UNIMAGINED, You have loosed in me UNBRIDLED passion for You. My soul's passions are UNFURLING in response to Your pursuit of me. There's a declaration in my heart today. I love You Jesus, I just have to say it, I just have to shout it! I'm UNASHAMED! I'm UNASHAMED to declare my love for You. I will be UNDIGNIFIED Lord to show You how much You mean to me, all for You Jesus alone. You have promised to UNVEIL Your mysteries to me, to show me UNSEARCHABLE riches, I cry out to You for wisdom more precious than diamonds and rubies. UNVEIL Your glory to my eyes Lord.

I desire to store UP for myself treasures in Heaven that will forever remain UNTARNISHED. I give to You my UNDIVIDED heart. I choose to walk with You, may my integrity be without compromise. May my pursuit of You be as UNRELENTING as Yours of me. May I know the sweet UNITY of Spirit with Your Holy Spirit. Be exalted this day Mighty God!

Lord, God of the UNIVERSE, You are UNEQUALLED in power and might. Your
UNCONDITIONAL love has caused me to be UNITED with you as You gave your life for me. I am UNASHAMED of the gospel and I proclaim You to the world. Your
UNFAILING and UNENDING love burns within my heart as an UNQUENCHABLE flame and a testimony to Your UNCHANGING nature. You UPHOLD me with Your victorious right hand. I give my UTMOST to You, my God.

~~V~~
Father I adore You and proclaim that You are of more VALUE to me than anything else I could possibly desire. Thank You for being My VICTORIOUS Champion and VANQUISHING the enemy . Your grace filled love has and power has under girded me to persevere VICTORIOUSLY through every VALLEY. Your presence VALIDATES my existence and I am VIBRATING with excitement as I think of actually meeting You face to face one day soon! Let my VOICE extol You for all the world to hear. VISIT me Lord with the supernatural VACUUM of Your Holy Spirit to suck out of me all that does not bring glory to Your name and make me a VESSEL that is clean and shines forth the light of Jesus to a lost and dying world.

Lord I come to You this day to VENERATE Your Name, I can silently worship You in my heart, but today I wish to VERBALLY express my praises to You with my VOICE, to speak VIVIDLY of how VERY special and wonderful You are. Lord God Almighty You are so VALUABLE to me, no one else could ever take Your place. Who can comprehend the VASTNESS of You God? We use these feeble words to try and describe Your VASTBESS God but they fall short, You are so much more VAST than these words can covey, but yet I try. Your love is VAST as the ocean, Your mercy as VAST as the sky, Your knowledge as VAST as the waters covering the seas. The thunder of Your VOICE Lord is like a mighty waterspout, You bring forth a multitude of waters in the Heavens, and cause the VAPORS to ascend from the ends of the earth; You make lightning with rain, and bring forth the wind out of Your treasures and then those things VANISH at Your command. Your touch Lord is softer than VELVET, the whisper of Your VOICE so precious to my ears.

Father God You are the VINEDRESSER, who lovingly, tenderly cares for every branch upon the VINE (Jesus) in the VINEYARD, cultivating and pruning to make me like Jesus, to produce a VINTAGE wine. Almighty God You have been diligent in Your VIGILANCE to protect and defend me. You have VANQUISHED my foes, You have acted VALIANTLY and won the VICTORY. I give You praise, I extol Your Holy Name. I celebrate the VERACITY, the Truth of Your Word, every chapter and VERSE my daily bread.

One of the things that I most love about You Lord is that You are a God of VARIETY, endlessly creative in the beauty of the natural world around me but also in the ways You communicate with me. You have VISITED with me Lord when I have been in the VALLEY of despair, and weeping in the VALE of tears, but also upon the mountaintop of VICTORY and in the VERDANT pastures of blessing in my life. You have VALIDATED Me and affirmed me Lord when I had disqualified myself. You have removed the VEIL from my eyes that I might see the VIEW from Yours. Lift my VISION higher Lord than it has ever been before.

Today, I would love to dive into a VAT of Your new wine Holy Spirit. My desire Lord is to be a VESSEL of Honor, emptied of myself, brought through the Refiner's Fire and filled with Your glory. As I know You more Lord, Your VIRTUES become more and more VISIBLE to me. May I be found VIRTUOUS in Your sight Lord, may Your VIRTUES be found in me. May I walk in the VICTORY You purchased for me Jesus. I VOW to walk with You Jesus all the days of my life.

Lord, VICTORIOUS One, You who VANQUISHED every foe. You are more VALUABLE than all the silver and gold of the earth. You are the VINE and I thank you
that I have been grafted into You. I thank you that You are also the VINEDRESSER, and I ask You to prune me according to Your good pleasure so that I may be full of the VIRTUES of God. Give me a VISION of Your holiness for without that I will perish. I need to hear Your VOICE, Lord, let your VOICE thunder across the heavens and break the powers of darkness that try and hinder my life. I thank You that You are the same yesterday, today and tomorrow and that in You there is no VARIABLENESS - no shadow of turning. You are forever glorious and holy. I VOW to serve you all my days.
O God, I thank you for filling the VACANCY of my heart. VICTORY is mine
through your power. VICTORY is mine through your blood. I was a VAGABOND, but
you VISITED me. You loosed my shackles and set me free. My soul desire is to be used, and empty VESSEL longing to be filled by you. The VALIDITY of your Word is VERIFIABLE!! I VEHEMENTLY stand in your Word!

I praise you for giving me your most VALUED gift of the Holy Ghost. I thank
you for the VARIOUS ways you have interceded on my behalf. Your power is so
VAST!!! Keep me Jesus, that I may never VEER from you love! Use me as a
VEHICLE to share your love and word to all people. Hide every VERSE in my
heart that I may have a reasonable answer to every man. I praise you for rending the VEIL so that we can have a personal relationship with you. O VIRTUOUS one, how good it is to commune with thee! I lift my VOICE in a Hallelujah Shout! I can never repay you for VOLUNTARILY giving up your life for sin. Let all the VOCALISTS of the earth praise thy name! All VIOLINIST, praise thy name! You are the true VINE! I will forever drink of your Goodness!

~~W~~
Oh God of WONDERS, WITH every beat of my heart I make known, that You are my everything. WITH every breath that I breathe I make known, a praise to Your Name Lord. I am WHOLLY devoted to You Lord, WHOLEHEARTEDLY desiring to WORSHIP You this day in Spirit and in Truth. WHILE I am WAITING to hear the WHISPER of Your voice. WHEN I say Jesus, I say Master, Savior, Healer, Redeemer, King. WORTHY is the Lamb. Hallelujah to the Lamb!

Jesus, You are the Mighty WARRIOR, dressed in armor of light, WITH WEAPONS of Righteousness in Your Hands. You are a WALL of Fire about me. I praise You for Your protection Lord. You still the crashing WAVES in the storms of my life, and pour out WAVES of Mercy and WAVES of Grace into my life. I praise You for the healing there is in Your WINGS Jesus, Son of Righteousness. Hide me in the shadow of Your WINGS El-Shaddai, find my refuge there. The mountains melt like WAX before Your coming Lord, but I say, even so, come Lord Jesus!

God You are the WISDOM of the Ages, Your WISDOM pure and peaceable. God You are the Great WAYMAKER, You are the WAY, the Truth and the Life. You make a WAY for me WHERE there seems to be no WAY. Show me Your WAYS Lord, that I may WALK in Your Truth. WRITE Your Truth upon my heart that I might be a WITNESS for You, even unto the ends of the Earth. I have hidden Your WORD in my heart Lord that I might not sin against You. Your WORD is a pounding hammer against the enemy, a fire shut up in my bones, a powerful sword of Truth and a love letter to me.

Jesus You sought me out WHEN I was WANDERING far from You. WONDROUSLY, You found me WHEN I was in the WILDERNESS, WEIGHED down WITH the burden of my sins, WOUNDED and WEEPING. You WAKENED my spirit. You spoke WORDS of Life to me, You WELCOMED me WITH arms opened WIDE to receive me into Your family. You WASHED my filthy stains WITH Your precious blood, until in Your eyes I became as WHITE as snow. You WIPED my tears away WITH one gentle touch from Your Hand. You WRAPPED me up in the WARMTH of Your embrace. I give You thanks for taking the shattered pieces of my life and making me WHOLE, for drawing my WOUNDED heart Lord, close to Your own.

WHEN I find myself in the WINEPRESS of Your testing, WONDERING just WHEN it will end, You meet me there, I know You have not left me alone, You WATCH over me. WHEN I am WEARY and my burden feels heavy, You remind me to lay it down and You give me Your sweet rest. Draw me to Your Fountain Lord, You're the WELLSPRING of my life. I stand under the WATERFALL of Your love. I drink from the Living WATERS of Life, I am thirsty, let me drink deeply of You today. I am a new WINESKIN Lord, ready to be filled with Your new WINE. You exchange my WEAKNESS for Your strength, my WEEPING for Your joy. You WASH me daily through the WASHING of Your Word. You speak WORDS of Life to me Jesus.

Let the WIND of Your Holy Spirit blow through my life Lord. I declare to You that I am WILLING to be transformed, I submit my WILL to You. I desire to know the perfect WILL of God for my life. Oh Master WEAVER, continue to WEAVE the tapestry of my life, may threads of purity gleam WHITE upon the canvas. May I know the WEIGHT of Your glory Lord. May I be forever WASTED on You Jesus, I WILL WORSHIP You throughout eternity.

~~Z~~
Glorious Lord, How You thrill me and cause my heart strings to go ZING !!!! Knowing You is the ZENITH of my entire existence. Flood me with fiery hot ZEALOUSNESS so that I burn with passion to pursue You and share You with others. If I shouted ten ZILLION praises, there would still be more praises to shout about You Lord.

Praise awaits You, oh God of ZION, oh God of glory Who dwells on high, I worship You. You are enthroned in ZION, you are exalted over the nations. Perfect in beauty, You shine forth from ZION. Sovereign Lord You have laid a stone in ZION, a tested stone, a precious cornerstone for a sure foundation. Jesus I praise Your Name for You are that precious cornerstone and sure foundation. You have promised Lord that the Ransomed will return to ZION with singing and everlasting joy will be as a crown upon their heads. Blessed are those who set their hearts to follow You Lord, they go from strength to strength, until each stands before You in ZION.

As the priests of ZADOK were completely loyal to King David, may I be forever loyal to You Lord. I pledge my allegiance to You Jesus. May I be as the Sons of ZADOK Lord and be granted permission to draw near to You and minister unto You this day, to enter into Your Holy Place. I desire to be ZEALOUS for Your honor, and for the fear of the Lord. It is my desire Lord to have ZERO tolerance for my sin, that I would choose to live a holy life and walk only upon the path of righteousness. Give me a white-hot holy ZEAL for You Lord and for the things of Your Kingdom. I praise You Lord God Almighty that Your ZEAL has established Your Kingdom and upholds it with righteousness and justice. Stir up Your ZEAL Lord and march out like a Mighty Man to defeat the enemies of the Cross!

Holy Spirit I praise You for touching my life often as a ZEPHYR, a lovely, gentle breeze. Blow through my life again this day with the wind of Your Spirit, stir my senses, cause me to be fully alive in You. Like ZACCHAEUS may I be compelled to seek You out and to make the extra effort to position myself Jesus to receive Your blessings, even if my actions might appear ZANY to others. May my heart be as willing to make restitution for my transgressions. Thank You Lord for adding ZEST to my life, and for giving me at times a ZANY exuberance for praising You with my whole heart. Jesus, You light up my life!

I stand in awe of You and gaze up at the ZENITH, the highest point of the Heavens, but Lord, even the highest Heavens cannot contain You Lord, cannot contain Your glory. May I build a Throne ZONE in my heart Lord that will invite Your Holy Presence, a Throne ZONE which welcomes You to make Your habitation here. May Your resting place be in me oh Lord, may I be the place where Your glory dwells. May my life be lived in the Worship ZONE unto the praise of Your glory!

Oh God of Mount ZION - He who inhabits our praises, Holy, mighty, worthy are
You oh Lord. Thank You that I now am even as ZION - the very dwelling place
of the Lord Most High - because You inhabit my heart and life. Let Your ZOE
life fill every part of my being and let it flow out of me as rivers. May the ZEAL of the Lord consume me and cause me to stand as one of the sons of ZADOK - ever faithful to You, my God. For You alone are worthy. You alone are mighty. You alone are God.

Well, ladies, amen and amen to all of the praises to the Lord. I am now including a testimony from a L.O.V.E. Club member that speaks to the multiple blessings that praising God can bring.
