Rare Flowers

Rare Flowers

If I found beautiful rare flowers;

I’d share this beauty with you.

In hopes that you would receive it;

And enjoy its fine beauty too.

God is the God of miracles;

This saying, though old, is true.

From the gleaming sun of creation;

To the loveliest orchid of blue.

From whispering winds of refreshment;

To showering splashes of streams.

From beautiful fields of flowers;

Colorful rainbows, bright stars and dreams.

Each an amazing miracle;

Bringing faith to a doubting heart.

God’s hand has created great fountains;

In dry cold desert places of dark.

On dead soil, a desert lay waste;

Until the hand of God intervenes.

The miracle hand of God’s grace;

Sprouts flowers in places not seen.

I have, found beautiful rare flowers;

Not known to the natural man.

Found in the places of God’s touch.

Flowers of faith, I hold in my clutch.

I will not keep this treasure to self;

But cast their beauty to the wind.

And ask the Lord to direct their flow.

Empty deserts, may you bloom and grow.

And as the Lord looked upon the deep;

A lifeless flow without form or void.

Transformed the dead, to light and life;

Filled with flowers, now so enjoyed.

I know a heart can be flowerless;

Dead and dark, in coldness and despair.

But the God of miracles and love;

Transforms, and makes alive, He cares.

Replaces the stones of deadness,

Replaces the spaces of dread,

With New Life, and fountains of His Joy;

He raises a soul from the dead.

Please take the flowers of kindness.

Please receive the flower of Grace.

Jesus died and arose in power.

Your heart can be transformed this hour.

May your heart bloom and shine in His grace;

When you see His gift of love so true.

Let the flower of faith bring life to you.

His great Salvation, will make you new.

Ephesians

2:8-10

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

Not of works, lest any man should boast.

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

Sundrops In My Garden - Letter

 

Sundrops In My Garden - Letter

Susan Y Nikitenko

This is a letter I gave to people in our neighborhood along with a potted Sundrop plant in bloom and a copy of my poem: "Sundrops In My Garden." 

Dear Neighborhood Friends,

   
I would like to share a tidbit or two about my gardens.

  
I'm enjoying my garden this year. One of my favorite flowers is the fireworks primrose.

  It has a cluster of bright yellow flowers that explode mid spring to mid summer. They are shining in my garden right now. This beautiful flower has three different names, it's scientific name, which I know not, the fireworks primrose and the name I love to call them....Sundrops. The're like little smiles that say Jesus loves you. They brighten up your whole garden. Hopefully we are like sun drops shining out there in a mixed up world, in a lost world that needs to find the Way. The way to heaven, The way to forgiveness, the way to hope, the way to God Almighty, Jehovah, The God of heaven, creator God. That Way is Jesus, Jesus said about Himself, I am the Way, The Truth, The Life -no man cometh unto the Father but by me. Jesus is the light of this dark, dark world. Christians need to brighten every corner. I know I've failed in many ways along life's way , but I know where my desire lies and that is to shine for Him. I'm so glad Jesus is my hope and my life. Because He has forgiven me and given me a new name. I am His forever child, and you can be His child too. Let our desire be to shine in His amazing love, by following His plan set out in His Word.

  
I sure feel regret for all the times I've let my Jesus down, but this wonderful flower reminds me of my Savior. When the flower dies the leaves turn a beautiful red and this reminds me of His shed blood for all of mankind. He offers peace, pardon, forgiveness and a home in heaven for all who will believe. True belief causes action. If you thought the sky were falling your belief would move you to shelter. If you believed your child was in danger it would move you to act. If you believed in a dangerous unrepentant hell you would run to God for salvation. Then that belief would move you to live a life pleasing your Savoir.

  Another wonderful thing about this flower is that it comes back every year with more and more blooms. We need to tell others about Jesus and His precious love. We need to be multiplying the kingdom of heaven. Giving the Good news of Jesus Christ- The Story of His bloodshed for sinners and His resurrection.

  Just as my sundrops return every spring.. I know my Jesus will be returning very soon to take His children home. Will you be ready? 

  Be living out the purpose you were born to live, turn to Him with your heart and trust Him. Do things His way. Live your life, His way. Follow His plan. We are not promised tomorrow, this could be your last day, your last moment, turn to Him.

I Hope you enjoy your sundrops.

Love In Christ, Susan Nikitenko

John 3:16-18 says

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

John 1: 1-9 Says

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.

Just A Thought:

Jesus Loves You!

Amazing Grace Missions Gives Out Little Books With Yellow Smiley Faces On The Front - That Say:  Jesus Loves You.  They Have Been Giving Those Little Smiley Face Books To People For Years, Mostly To Children.   I Remember Getting One When I Was A Little Girl At The "State County Fair In W.Va.  When I Was Around Ten Years Old. I Never Forgot That Little Book.

Sundrops In My Garden

(Also Known as Fireworks Primrose )

By: Susan Y Nikitenko

June 2010

Shining in my garden;

Like smiles everywhere.

Are Bright Yellow Sundrops;

Examples of God's care.

They brightly grace my garden;

They give my heart a lift.

Cause I know they're precious;

And given as a gift.

Jesus is the Son of God;

He is the Way, the light.

He is like a Sundrop;

That blossoms very bright

He gives the burdened joy;

He sets the captive free.

He shines into the heart;

and saves so willingly.

Won't you be a sundrop,

In life's garden, to grow?

Will you Shine for Jesus

In His love will you go ?

Will you tell the story

Of His blood shed for men?

Will you sacrifice your time

And give your all to Him?

When the sundrop is done;

and It's leaves turn blood red.

Please Remember dear friend;

What our Savior once said.

"It is finished", He cried ;

With His blood flowing free.

and His hands stretched out wide;

on that torturous tree.

He gave himself for you;

He gave himself for me.

He arose from the dead;

and won the victory.

Available to all;

A life beautifully new.

His hand is extended;

While He calls now to you.

While watching from heaven;

perhaps Angels display.

Heavenly Fireworks;

When one sinner is saved.

Will you trust Him today?

Will you cry out His name?

Will you bow to His will:

Or remain now, the same?

Won't you be a sundrop,

In life's garden, to grow?

Will you Shine for Jesus

In His love will you go ?

Will you tell the story

Of His blood shed for men ?

Will you sacrifice your time;

And give your all to Him?

“What Must One Do to Be Reborn?”

“What Must One Do to Be Reborn?”

While reaching out to win the lost;

  We reached out with the Word.

We gave the gospel here and there;

To some we seemed absurd.

A man stopped by upon a cane;

This man, He was not old.

He listened, hard to all my words;

The gospel to him told.

A man, he must be born again;

To enter heavens gate.

Repent my friend and turn to God;

Before it is too late.

His eyes, they looked straight into mine;

With seeking words, he asked.

“What must one do to be reborn?”

Stunned with his words, I gasped.

Oh, joyful day, a seeking heart;

Who truly wants to know.

This humble man cried out to God;

Christ washed him white as snow.

He said to me, I almost died;

A car wreck changed my life.

Within the wreckage my heart cried,

“My children and my wife!”

My sinful life flashed before me;

The fear I felt was true.

“Please Lord,” I cried, “Don’t let me die.”

“I’ll give my life to you.”

“Today is my new beginning,”

That’s what he said to me.

And off  He limped upon his cane;

Saved for eternity.

Two Kinds of People - By: Susan Y Nikitenko

Two Kinds of People

By: Susan Y Nikitenko

April 12th 2011

There are two kinds of people;

Living here in this world.

The children of the darkness;

or the children of the Lord.

One lives, but yet He is dead;

While one has been raised anew.

Life is found in Christ alone;

And it’s offered now to you.

The children of light and life;

Were born into a family.

They became children of God;

They were blind, but now they see.

One day their eyes were opened;

One day they found life.

They found peace like a river;

And comfort in the night.

For just as the first man;

Received breath in His lungs.

And life filled His body;

And speech came from his tongue.

Those lost in the darkness;

Are spiritually dead.

But Jesus has offered;

His Salvation instead.

Do you know He gave His life;

Upon a cruel, cruel tree?

He shed His precious blood;

For both you and for me.

He is reaching from heaven;

And He speaks tenderly.

“I will save you, I love you;

Just put your trust in me.”

The grave could not hold Him;

So Salvation now reigns.

It’s offered to all;

And must be proclaimed.

Ephesians 2:5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;

Ephesians 5:14 Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.

2Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

Colosians 1:28 Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:

 Matthew

 9:28 And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said unto him, Yea, Lord.

18:6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

21:25 The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven, or of men? And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say unto us, Why did ye not then believe him?

 21:32 For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not: but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and ye, when ye had seen it, repented not afterward, that ye might believe him.

 24:23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.

 24:26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.

27:42 He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him.

 Mark

 1:15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.

 5:36 As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe.

 9:23  Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.

 9:24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.

 9:42 And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.

  11:23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.

 11:24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

11:31 And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then did ye not believe him?

 13:21 And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not:

 15:32 Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reviled him.

 16:17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;

 Luke 

8:12 Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.

 8:13  They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.

 8:50 But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole.

22:67  Art thou the Christ? tell us. And he said unto them, If I tell you, ye will not believe:

  24:25 Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:

John

  1:7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.

 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: {power: or, the right, or, privilege} 

 3:12 If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?

 4:21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.

 4:42 And said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world.

 4:48 Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.

 5:38 And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not.

 5:44 How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only?

 5:47 But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?

 6:29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.

 6:30 They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work?

  6:36 But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not.

 6:64 But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him.

 6:69 And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God.

 Joh 7:5 For neither did his brethren believe in him.

 7:39 (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)

 8:24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.

 8:45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.

 8:46 ¶ Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?

 9:18 But the Jews did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight.

 9:35 ¶ Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God?

 9:36 He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him?

 Joh 9:38 And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him.

 10:26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.

  10:37 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.

 10:38 But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.

  11:15 And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him.

 11:27 She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.

  11:40 Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?

  11:42 And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.

  11:48 If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him: and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and nation.

 12:36 While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them.

  12:39 Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said again,

  12:47 And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.

 13:19 Now I tell you before it come, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe that I am he. {Now: or, From henceforth} 

 14:1 ¶ Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.

 14:11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.

14:29 And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe.

 16:9 Of sin, because they believe not on me;

 16:30 Now are we sure that thou knowest all things, and needest not that any man should ask thee: by this we believe that thou camest forth from God.

 16:31 Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe?

17:20 ¶ Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;

  17:21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.

  19:35 And he that saw it bare record, and his record is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe.

 20:25 The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe.

 20:31 But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.

Acts

8:37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.

 13:39 And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.

  13:41 Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which ye shall in no wise believe, though a man declare it unto you.

 15:7 And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Men and brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe.

 15:11 But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they.

16:31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

  19:4 Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.

21:20 And when they heard it, they glorified the Lord, and said unto him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousands of Jews there are which believe; and they are all zealous of the law:

21:25 As touching the Gentiles which believe, we have written and concluded that they observe no such thing, save only that they keep themselves from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from strangled, and from fornication.

27:25 Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me.

 Romans

 3:3 For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect?

 3:22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:

 4:11 And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had yet being uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be not circumcised; that righteousness might be imputed unto them also:

 4:24 But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead;

 Ro 6:8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:

  10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

 10:14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?

 15:31 That I may be delivered from them that do not believe in Judaea; and that my service which I have for Jerusalem may be accepted of the saints; {do not...: or, are disobedient}

 

 1Corinthians

 1:21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.

 10:27  If any of them that believe not bid you to a feast, and ye be disposed to go; whatsoever is set before you, eat, asking no question for conscience sake.

 11:18 For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it. {divisions: or, schisms} 

 14:22 Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe.

 2Corithians

 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

 4:13  We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;

 Galatians

3:22 But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.

 Ephesians

 1:19 And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, {his mighty power: Gr. the might of his power} 

 

Philippians

 1:29 For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake;

 1Thessalonians

 1:7 So that ye were ensamples to all that believe in Macedonia and Achaia.

 2:10 Ye are witnesses, and God also, how holily and justly and unblameably we behaved ourselves among you that believe:

2:13 ¶ For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.

 4:14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.

 2Thessalonians

1:10 When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.

 2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

 1Timothy

 1:16 Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting.

 4:3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.

 4:10 For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe.

 

2Timothy

 2:13 If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.

 

Hebrews

 10:39 But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.

 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

 James 

2:19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.

 1Peter

 1:21 Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.

 2:7 Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner, 

 1John

 3:23 And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.

4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

 5:13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.

(KJV)

Rare Flowers

By: Susan Y Nikitenko

Revised July 8th, 2010

If I found beautiful rare flowers;

I’d share this beauty with you.

In hopes that you would receive it;

And enjoy its fine beauty too.

God is the God of miracles;

This saying, though old, is true.

From the gleaming sun of creation;

To the loveliest orchid of blue.

From whispering winds of refreshment;

To showering splashes of streams.

From beautiful fields of flowers;

Colorful rainbows, bright stars and dreams.

Each an amazing miracle;

Bringing faith to a doubting heart.

God’s hand has created great fountains;

In dry cold desert places of dark.

On dead soil, a desert lay waste;

Until the hand of God intervenes.

The miracle hand of God’s grace;

Sprouts flowers in places not seen.

I have, found beautiful rare flowers;

Not known to the natural man.

Found in the places of God’s touch.

Flowers of faith, I hold in my clutch.

I will not keep this treasure to self;

But cast their beauty to the wind.

And ask the Lord to direct their flow.

Empty deserts, may you bloom and grow.

And as the Lord looked upon the deep;

A lifeless flow without form or void.

Transformed the dead, to light and life;

Filled with flowers, now so enjoyed.

I know a heart can be flowerless;

Dead and dark, in coldness and despair.

But the God of miracles and love;

Transforms, and makes alive, He cares.

Replaces the stones of deadness,

Replaces the spaces of dread,

With New Life, and fountains of His Joy;

He raises a soul from the dead.

Please take the flowers of kindness.

Please receive the flower of Grace.

Jesus died and arose in power.

Your heart can be transformed this hour.

May your heart bloom and shine in His grace;

When you see His gift of love so true.

Let the flower of faith bring life to you.

His great Salvation, will make you new.

Ephesians

2:8-10

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

Not of works, lest any man should boast.

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
