Note to a dear friend and fellow writer:
You will know who you are. You recently wrote a poem that quickened my spirit. It was a poem about a poet. All day today, I have been clutching my pen, waiting on the Lord. I got one phrase: “Love has a way of finding you.” And that was all. So tonight, I decided that I would just start typing. Didn’t know where the phrase would come out... in the middle, at the end, the beginning. I just figured I’d type that phrase and then build around it as the words came to me. I was very surprised by my pen. Once I typed that single phrase, I just kept typing... and typing... until I began to tremble, hearing words that were no longer my own. I guess I just wanted to say “Thanks for your obedience and the inspiration.” I had no idea that this is what would come from it. Love you much.

Love Has a Way

Love has a way of finding you
and carrying you back home.
It doesn’t matter where you are,
or how far you’ve chosen to roam.

Love has a way of finding you
when you can’t seem to find love.
Just when you think you’re all alone,
you are the one Love’s thinking of.

Love has a way of finding you
and holding your heart steadfast.
Stronger than strong, longer than long,
it’s created by Love to last.

Love has a way of finding you
and you’ll know it, without doubt,
when it’s wings clothe you in mercy
and Love drives the enemy out.

Love has a way of finding you.
When it does, He won’t let go.
He’ll touch your mind and change your heart.
He will bless you from head to toe.

Love has a way of finding you
and it could very well be
that Love touches you even now.
He is certainly touching me.

I’m sitting here in His presence.
There’s a whisper breaking free,
a subtle but solid promise:
Love has a way of finding me.

“I found you,” says the Lord. “You did not find Me.

All that I purpose, all that I plan is with you in mind. When will you know? When will you receive? I loved you enough to give you My only Son, the core of My heart. As much as I love Him, I gave Him as a sacrifice for you. Hear Me: I loved you so much that I tore out the very core of My own heart and sacrificed it for you.

I still love you just as much today as I did then. I knew you, even then. What more do I need to do? I have done it all for you. I love you deeply, My child, more deeply than you are able to love. That’s why My Word says that I am Love. I Am. And I’ve found you. I’ll find you again and again. And when you finally tire of running, you can rest in My love. It is here for you always.

I have a home for you. It has your name on the doorposts, the name that I gave to you. I have a special name for you. No more sacrifices. The sacrifice has already been made. Blood is no longer needed upon the doorposts. My Son’s blood is sufficient to cover all things. No, that is not blood, but rather it is your name on the doorposts of the home I have for you. That home is within My arms. Won’t you come home? Don’t you see? Your name is written upon the palms of My hands, your home, the palms with which I hold you. My very palms are the doorposts to your home and no one can close a door when I open it. No one and nothing can snatch you out of My hand.

How desperately I love you. Can you receive that from Me? Will you? It’s free. And there is freedom in it. I found you. My Son came to seek that which was lost. And I found you. Please be at home with Me. My thoughts toward you are for good and never for evil. I hurt when you hurt. I laugh when you laugh. I weep when you weep. I AM with you in and through all things. I’ve found you and I will never leave you.

My child, don’t leave Me. Stay here, in My presence and let Me tell you great and secret things. Stay here and I will show you things to come. I do a new thing. Don’t discount things you’ve never seen before as not being Me. I do a new thing. I don’t change. I stay the same. But I do a new thing. And I want to do a new thing in you.

Spend some time here, at home with Me and I will fill you to full. You never have to leave here. You must live in the world, but you’re not of the world. You are My own, a chosen vessel to Me. And as you walk in the world, you will spill over for many to drink. Stay here with Me and see what I will do. And I do it, not because I show favoritism, but simply because I love you and you are willing.

Go now and tell them. Tell them that My eyes roam to and fro across the earth. Tell them that Love will find them too.”


Even now, if you will truly hear what the Spirit says to the Churches, I want you to know that Love HAS found you. He has found you because you are not here by choice. You are here by divine appointment. Nevertheless, it is up to you to receive all that He has for you.

I pray that we will all have hearts to receive, including myself. It is in Christ Jesus’ Name I pray. Amen

Friend, the Spirit will speak thru you more often ......just let it pour. He wants to say much to broken hearts, to dying hearts, to sinful ones...to ones that won't give in to Him, to others that just give up without Him. You are a chosen vessel and encourage you to abide more in the Vine and you will be astounded where He takes you. He will place you on your knees before Him and He will speak thru you to the world. Your heart listens to His heart....may we hear Him now speak to us thru you...God bless

Sorry I haven't got to your articles sooner, or had any correspondence with you, my "long-time friend." I have no computer right now, so have to wait for a chance to use someone else's.... This is a wonderful, Spirit-filled article. The poem is uplifting, and will bring comfort to anyone who thinks he/she is searching for God. GOD is the One who does the searching; the Holy Spirit is the One who touches the heart of those who seek. Jesus, the Son, is the One who opens His hands and receives the searcher (sinner) home. Now, I DIDN'T have to preach another sermon after your good one, but I did!!! Your friend, Helen.

Dear Treava... This is exquisite! It is loving, comforting, uplifting and speaks of the God's Love in such a way that people can FEEL it! It would be wonderful to have this distributed to every church and given out with visitor packets! They would surely leave the service with a desire to embrace God's Love! This is something to reach for every time we are feeling lonely, discouraged, afraid... you've given us a verbal 'comfort quilt' filled with messages from God. I love you! Peggy
