Singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord 

23 Sep

My Take

DiVoran Lites

(From Streams in the Desert)

(Eph 5:19)

Singing will clear the sky of clouds. 

Work is made of joy when one goes about it singing. Songs are contagious. As everybody loves a lover, everybody enjoys folks whose gladness bursts forth in song.

Singing is one of God’s richest gifts in the world. 

A messenger boy ran up the steps of a home singing, “Brighten the corner where you are,” and the lady sweeping off her porch soon sang that melody. The woman next door took it up and sang it when, finally, it went on wings of gladness down the street. All because a plain messenger boy gave vent to the joy-bells of life. 

DiVoran has been writing for most of her life. Her first attempt at a story was when she was seven years old and her mother got a new typewriter. DiVoran got to use it and when her dad saw her writing he asked what she was writing about. DiVoran answered that she was writing the story of her life. Her dad’s only comment was, “Well, it’s going to be a very short story.” After most of a lifetime of writing and helping other writers, DiVoran finally launched her own dream which was to write a novel of her own. She now has her Florida Springs trilogy and her novel, a Christian Western Romance, Go West available on Amazon. When speaking about her road to publication, she gives thanks to the Lord for all the people who helped her grow and learn.  She says, “I could never have done it by myself, but when I got going everything fell beautifully into place, and I was glad I had started on my dream.”

Sons and Daughters Destined for Glory

My Take

DiVoran Lites

Romans 8:14

The mature children of God are those who are moved by the impulses of the holy Spirit. You did not receive the Spirit of religious duty, leading you back into the fear of never being good enough. But you have received the Spirit of full acceptance, enfolding you into the family of God. And you will never feel orphaned, for as he rises within us, our spirits join him in saying the words of tender affection. Beloved Father! Holy Spirit makes God’s fatherhood real to us as he whispers into our innermost being, You are God’s beloved child!

Romans 12:6

The human body has many parts and organs, each with a unique function. And so it is in the body of Christ. Though we are many, we’ve all been mingled into one body in Christ. We are all vitally joined to one another, each contributing to the others.

We Are His True Children

5 Feb

My Take

DiVoran Lites

ROMANS 8:17

Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.

And since we are his true children, we qualify to share all his treasures, for indeed, we are heirs of God himself. And since we are joined to Christ, we also inherit all that he is and all that he has! We will experience being co-glorified with him, provided we accept his sufferings as our own.

Song of the Steadfast

9 Oct

My Take

DiVoran Lites

Yet the Eternal One is never shaken

He is still found in his temple of holiness,

Reigning as Lord and King over all.

He is closely watching everything that happens.

And with a glance, his eyes examine every heart

For his heavenly rule will prevail over all.

He will test both the righteous and the wicked,

Exposing each heart.

But remember this: the Righteous Lord loves

What is right and just, and every godly one

Will come into his presence and gaze upon his face.

Psalm 11:3-7

Find Rest for your Soul

My Take

DiVoran Lites

Jeremiah 6:16

Stand at the crossroads and look;

Ask for the ancient paths,

Ask where the good way is, and walk in it,

And you will find rest for your souls.
