THE OPEN BOTTLE OF TEARS
By
June Potter
Tears flowing…tears representing the inner pain and anguish of many a broken moment in time. Deep within each tear drop is a story of hope; of despair; of infinite pleasure but also one of ever consuming regrets. Concealed in the beauty of the fragile tear drop, if but seen, is the belief in the only One who has the eternal power to restore and heal an inner spirit that knows no longer what life is all about or the people in it. The One who walks in the bountiful isles of tender, compassionate love and on going mercy just waiting to pour out His fragrance of peace and cleansing balm on any soul that needs a time of refreshing.
To see into the free flowing tear drop cascading down the damp cheek, now falling into the sphere where it no longer can be observed by the human eye, only the heart as that of my Lord and King…Jesus Christ…is able to comprehend the wealth of information contained in its silent voice. The silence speaks volumes; shares its own dreams, longings and the knowledge that repentance must be born from the spirit of observing the true, real inner core of a heart needing to be washed in the continual, on going Blood flow of Him who died; was buried; raised in newness of life and lives forever more. The precious pure Blood that cleanses and makes once more all things afresh as if born again in the beginning of time.
When mere words can no longer convey the width and depth of the flow of on going questions; hopes and scenes shown on a continual basis before the inner, ever seeing eyes given by the Redeemer whose eternal gifts are distributed freely to all His children at free will, so the still ever silent tear flow is captured by the Hands of Divine Love and carefully placed in a bottle where all thoughts, passions, broken threads and hopefully new ones of forth coming dreams are contained; where words were never uttered for the inner spirit speaks the full truth of the real person and is only ever known to the One true King thus He is able to read and instantly know the heart’s longing cry. A cry that could have dissolved so many things along its pathway had it been given a voice of powerful intensity in the world around about the one delivering its harsh message. Held back and kept deep within, so the build up became such that there was no longer an option but to allow the now waterfall of tear drops to fall. So many mishaps; so many regrets; innumerable questions waiting for answers; intense deep passionate longings to be understood first by self then by those in the know, yet forever sleeping. Eyes wide open yet inner eyes dull and unable to see due to the veil of self absorption and self preservation. Understandable yet to the grieving, broken soul standing upright in front of you, the pain of not been able to meet heart to heart; one on one; spirit to spirit, roars like the wounded lion when the final shot from the death call enters his now dying form.
Oh to meet, in this earthly realm, one true soul who speaks the silent internal language of tears, would surely unite and bond them as no other earthly passion can and ever will do. To bring together as one thus allowing His forever flowing Spirit the ability to continually unite them in complete unison. The inner soul knowledge joining two human beings loving the three in one; the One true ever alive, Omnipotent Lord of Lords and King of Kings would surely release within the other the gifts of our precious Holy Spirit giving Him the opportunity to move with His Spirit of pure perfection, so allowing those along His pathway of love, the ability to become free; be instantly healed and come to know His perfect will for lives so caught in bondage to the destructive world of self mutilation in body, mind and spirit.
The One true Lord rules and reigns; His power and passion knows no limits; His purpose prevails for time and eternity; on going before all came into existence and forever revealing His thoughts; no man can ever repay in monetary means; in acts of kindness and well meaning purposes; in defense of so called keeping the earth alive and free from contamination; for no man has the God given ability to bring into existence that which has been created by words of Omnipotence and a heart of pure intense love for those He longed for as true, loyal companions. Grace in its complete and only form became a man; a God man, walked amongst flesh aflame to human passions of every conceivable kind; gave up its life so that we, the lost and lonely; deceived and without, may live and flow back once again into the eternal loving heart of a Heavenly Father who sees the silent tear drops of a perplexed, alone soul on its pathway brought into existence by the will of an all knowing God.
Jesus, lover of my soul; tender all knowing Lord; ruler of the earth; giver of eternal life; suffered the burning intense pain of rejection; of humiliation; of anguish yet could have called ten thousand angels; chose to submit His will to the eternal will of His Father for love’s sake, takes the silent voices of my tears and answers with words of hope, faith and passionate pure love. “ I AM here; I walked with you through the beautiful days of free flowing flowers shinning their colours of pure beauty all around. When the grass was bright green and flourishing; when laughter and joy echoed through out so I was with you and all was well with your soul. I walked with you…alongside you…holding your hand when the days were so long and the sun’s rays were scorching hot, burning down on you and all was dry. When in front of you was the dreaded huge mountain you had to climb, to conquer…I was right with you. When all became too much and grief overcame you I was there…it was then that I lifted you up in my arms and carried you. I became your covering from the scorching sun’s rays; I became your shield from the waves of grief; I became your true companion when life was that of joy and splendor. Now is the time to be all that I called you to be even though man may turn away; may become angry in his spirit. Be you.”
Precious are the tears of those He calls His own for the silent tears have their own destiny born from adversity; filled with emotions spoken in truth and are forever sealed in His heart of infinite love.

Why TAKE ye heed of your tomorrow and what it will bring???
Does God not clothe the Lilies of the Field?
Does HE not feed the sparrow?
Who causes the sun to Rise and Set each day?
Who brought Water out of a Rock?
And who let Manna fall from Heaven?
Who provided a Lamb for Abraham to stop him sacrificing his son?
Who opened the Red Sea?
Who calmed troubles seas and Storms?
Who said Suffer the Little Child to Come unto Me?
It is He who said:
Fret not yourselves
Cast your Burden upon me.
Let not your HEARTS be troubled!!!
Come unto me ALL ye who labour and are HEAVY laden
Peace be still!!
Now He is Your God Your Keeper Your Protection and Your Provider
And
Not ONLY can """HE WORK IT OUT""
But
""GOD WILL WORK IT OUT""
ENFOLD US yes LET THE SON of GOD Enfold you YES !!!! Give Him ALL your tears and SADNESS
Have we as yet come to grips to GRASP how PRECIOUS the caring Heart of God is. Firstly Jesus comes to earth to die for us to bring us BACK to HIMSELF. Then a Jesus goes He Says" I SEND YOU THE COMFORTER" So precious friend right NOW there is The Holy Spirit our COMFORTER.FLEE INTO THE ARMS OF JESUS!
DO WE FULLY APPRECIATE THAT JESUS SENT US A COMFORTER( THe Holy Spirit)
I Send you A Comforter

Too often too many of the Children of God live wih feelings of Inadequateness and live in misery of SADNESS robbed of JOY which is intended to be our STRENGTH.
FRIENDS there is a PLANE of living in and with God that needs to come to the fore and GRASPED with both hands allowing our hearts to be entwined in the HEART OF OUR GREAT GOD
One wonders if the Pulpit is really fulfilling its real purpose and calling of making Disciples bringing people to maturity.
In that inmature state we
MISUNDERSTAND the:
Handwork of God
ALLOWING circumstances which if it reaches me is God Allowed.
TRYING of our faith once tried will come forth as pure Gold
In all of this we allow ourselves to be robbed of living in THE FULLNESS OF God and His purposes for our lives
Be Blessed
June and Stan Almendro
In SEARCH of Peace - BUT where are we SEEKING the SO WANTED no SO NEEDED PEACE
One can almost say that THERE IS SUCH A SEEKING in the World:
But
What is the SEEKING about
Riches
Power
Control
Sex
and MOST of these things OUT of Balance BRINGS stress big time
WHEN all the time we are if we will admit it looking YES seeking for that INNER CALM CONTENTMENT known as the PEACE
Peace Seekers - TROUBLE Makers WHAT DOES our presence do when we enter a room or conversation?
Blessed are the Peacemakers
By
Stan Almendro
Seeking the PEACE of God no matter how strange it might seem could be the SIGH of many ma Heart and many of which do not RECOGNIZE the cry of their own hearts !!!
We seek peace an lack of Stress in things that actually create the stress that we so often experience.
We can write pages on this BUT
SIMPLY SAID WE NEED TO ALLOW GOD TO TEACH US THE WORKING OF CALM CONTENTMENT. No it is not always a change of circumstance or taking away the problem(Storm)
IT IS SIMPLY IN WHATEVER STATE WE FIND OURSELVES THEREWITH TO BE CONTENT.
But we
Rebuke the Devil
Go into prayer lines looking for the Magic Wand of God
Discuss it with the WRONG people
WE SHOULD DO A MOTHER THERESA act Just sit there with Him (Jesus)
THEREFORE ENCOURAGE
Who Lord is it???

We live in a world of temptation that lends itself to a selfish mindset and life becomes all about me.
Well as Children of God we are chosen to be so different and while the mindset in the world can be likened to the story of ""HE FELL AMONG THIEVES"" where he (the victim of the thieves) was passed by we are not to pass by but are subject to
""IF YOU ARE ASKED TO GO A MILE GO TWO""
YES GOD DOES MAKE A WAY
He our God makes paths straight He turns deserts into orchids He opens the Red Sea
Look at
Moses
Abraham
Daniel
Job and so many more
Then
Look at our own lives and be reminded of the many doors opened by Our God
He says ""I KNOW THE PLANS I HAVE FOR YOU""
Let's believe Him and TRUST Him today
HAVE A SHEPHERDS HEART FOR THE MULTITUDE OF FOLKS SUFFERING OUT THERE
We must be careful of HYPER spirituality to let people feel it is evil or sin to feel weak and in NEED of encouragement. HE CAME TO HEAL THE BROKEN HEARTED AND SET CAPTIVES FREE> LET THIS MIND THAT WAS IN JESUS BE IN US ALSO
SHEPHERD OR A WOLF AMONG THE SHEEP OF GOD- WELL WHAT IS IT ?????
A MAN AND WOMAN AS CHILDREN OF GOD ARE TO DISPLAY THE HEARTS OF SHEPHERDS WHO LEAD, PROTECT and PROVIDE- NEVER DICTATORS but THOSE who Understand weakness and appreciate every one is at a different place and PLANE in God
HIS EYE ON THE SPARROW- MAY THIS SINK DEEP INTO OUR HEARTS
Despair and Desperate are elements BESIEGING the world yes gripping hearts souls and minds of so many. Let us for ONE moment stand still and evaluate the worth of what is making us DESPAIR. IS IT WORTH THE FEAR DESPAIR AND STRESS what is the worst that can happen????? GO to be with Jesus
WE CAN REMAIN TO BE A SLAVE TO FEAR - OR ?????????
How often do we find that FEAR is despelling our
PEACE
JOY
&
CONTENTMENT and we find ourselves desperate and in DESPAIR. Yes this is a Human Norm and often out of our control. There is a BETTER and HIGHER plane for us and we often have to be reminded and remind ourselves of our heritage of belonging to the Father bought by the Blood of Jesus on the Cross on Mount Calvary.
Yes WE are NO LONGER A SLAVE TO FEAR FOR WE ARE A CHILD OF GOD.
The disciples in the boat feared BUT there was Jesus on the water!!!
The sisters of Lazarus Feared BUT there was Jesus and He raised him up from death !!!
THE upper room scene full of men maybe doubting and fearful to be without Him BUT there was Jesus with them in the boat!!!
The two men on the way to Ammaus not understanding the EVENTS on Calvary with questions and who knows maybe a hint of FEAR BUT there was Jesus as He joined Himsel to them.
DEAR Friend,
Where are you today in
1.Yourself
2. In your Home
3. In your Marriage
4. In your job and career
5. YOUR WALK WITH GOD
Disturbed, lacking peace, calm, contentment and JOY
WELL THERE IS JESUS STRETCHING OUT TO YOU- SENSE AND EMBRACE HIS PRECIOUS PRESENCE, YES REACH OUT TO HIM AND LET HIM MAKE YOU WHOLE IN EVERY SENSE of your LIFE and BEING MADE WHOLE LET THAT WHOLENESS SIFT THROUGH TO ALL WHO COME NEAR YOU AND INTO CONTACT WITH YOU!!!!
He is WHO and WHAT you need even more than what you can EVEN think or desire
The Lords Our Shepherd
