We thank GOD for His gift of music and words. We are grateful for the abundant blessings He gives. We have to remember always that we are blessed.
Thank you for dropping by.
Hello and welcome to Gleams of Hope! The pages on this site focus on the ONE Most High. I thank the LORD ALMIGHTY for giving me this opportunity to share with you a few verses here and there.
Indeed we can honor and praise GOD in so many ways. How beautiful it is to know His touch and to follow Him all the days of our lives. He is the Light of the world. With Him there is no darkness. His presence in life is true freedom.
The choice is ours... We have a loving GOD who offers His love to us - a love so pure and true.... a redeeming love.... a sacrificial love that sees us through always. This love is for the taking at no cost. Is your spirit open to receive GOD's calling? Will you receive Him today into your life? Believe, receive and live.
LORD, like the flowing waters, Your love quenches our thirst and longing.
Your love holds the living water that nourishes us in our needs.
Thank You for Your nurturing love and unceasing grace.
Thank You for believing in us that we will persevere in the midst of storm.
Thank You for Your trust and mending touch .
Thank You for Your healing embrace.
We honor and glorify You, oh LORD GOD ALMIGHTY!
You reign forever and ever!
To You, we give our unceasing thanks.
Praises to You, our LORD and Savior!

Father, thank You so much for the opportunity to praise and glorify You! Readers have been so abundantly giving of their praises to You. How humbling that they take part in spreading the essence of Your truth and sharing the purest and gentlest love that You are. What a blessing to see and hear believers respond with gratefulness in their hearts for such a cause of proclaiming Your name! You loop us all together in this endeavor.
Everyone has their own way of sharing You with others in their walk. How humbling it is to fulfill this task in Your mighty name. Thank You for Your continued blessings and Your HOLY SPIRIT’s promptings to go on with what we are feverish about - giving testimony to the world who You are. Humbled are we in this task, dear LORD. We move through hills, plains, the rugged paths and through the waters, unafraid like Paul of the inundation of events and challenges. Your children's hearts know and love You, thus we are not afraid by an onslaught of the enemy's scheming tactics that could dissuade us from Your hold. We are Yours and are glued to You forever!
Praise and glory to You, dear LORD. You are the only Way, the very Truth and Eternal Life! In Your name we profess our faith.
Blessings to You, dear LORD GOD ALMIGHTY! Yours is the glory and honor - forever and ever.
It makes us think how often truly we forget to take time and thank the LORD ALMIGHTY
The One who shed His blood to save us from the pits of hell and life’s emptiness
Nails penetrated His hands and feet - how can we forget?
How can we ever dismiss the reason for what it was that He came?
GOD, the Father, sent His only Begotten Son,
to redeem a world constricted and overdosed by sin.
No one can ever redeem us – but the One who calls us by name.
The Alpha and the Omega, He is.
The breakthrough of a gleaming sun to disheartened souls.
He is the soft touch that comes with the dawn and the joy of the early morn that calms the heart.
Apple of His eyes, we are to Him ~
The chosen bride -
He pulled us out from twisted paths that we may have eternal life.
Are our eyes focused on Him?
Do we hear Him calling our name?
In the Stillness of the Moment
In the stillness of the moment, when only the ticking of the keyboard is all I hear, I feel inspired to open all my senses and let the LORD’s blessings come in --- moments revealing and inspirational.
In silence we hear more of what the LORD is telling us. We are able to grasp and embrace the meaning of what is being conveyed.
We take time to commune with the One who loves us most of all.
Today, the havoc of time we offer to Him in prayer... and as always He listens and knows.
Indeed we can honor and praise GOD in so many ways. How beautiful it is to know His touch and to follow Him all the days of our lives. He is the Light of the world. With Him there is no darkness. His presence in life is true freedom.
