LOVE DOVES!      Compiled 1992
--The Inspirations of His Creations!     DO 2834

         1. "Everything is beautiful in its own way!" as the song goes. It's so inspiring to watch God's beautiful creation and creatures out the window!--To see how well-organized the Lord's creations are, how peaceful and beautiful! It's so inspiring and comforting to know all is well in God's beautiful creation! It makes you trust in Him. When He takes such good care of all His creation, you know He'll take good care of us too! Praise You Lord! Thank You Jesus! Amen.
         2. The Lord is their Shepherd, they shall not want! He maketh them to lie down in green pastures, He leadeth them beside the still waters. He restoreth their souls. Yea, He leadeth them in the paths of righteousness for His Name's sake. Though they walk through the valley of the shadow of death, they will fear no evil, for He is with them. His rod and His staff, they comfort them! He prepareth a table before them in the presence of their enemies. He anoints their heads with oil; their cup runneth over! Surely goodness and mercy shall follow them all the days of their life and they shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever!--Amen! So it is with all of us! (Psalm 23).
         3. Wow! You should see the doves circling so beautifully! Everything is so lively and full of life! You can tell they're really enjoying that! They're all enjoying living, so why shouldn't we? Just give God a chance and you'll enjoy living too because you're His creation and His child, and best of all, you can help others enjoy living also. That's the way the Lord intended for us to live--like those doves, flying high and free and enjoying God's creation and each other's fellowship. They always fly together.--Like we do! They're just beautiful! That's why I love the doves!
         4. Love Doves! They're such a symbol of His love and His Holy Spirit and peace and beauty and His tender loving care! Praise You Lord! Hallelujah! Thank You Jesus! Are you one of His Love Doves enjoying His life and love? Be a Love Dove for Jesus! Enjoy His love forever and share His love with others. The doves can't live without love and sharing it together. They always fly together and they have lots of lovey little babies together. If you just provide a place for them to live and love, they'll love you forever. Like the Lord does for us: He provides a place for us to live and all we need, and all He wants us to do is love Him forever and help others to love Him too, and to be like Him, and provide for them a place to live and love and serve Him and others. Praise the Lord! Thank You Jesus!
         5. Be a Love Dove for Jesus! They do no one any harm; they just make the world beautiful and fill it full of peace and love and beauty and thrill our hearts with the beauty of God's creation! Let's do the same for others, let's be Love Doves for the Lord!
         6. I wondered why I've always been so thrilled by doves, flying and circling overhead, cooing, making love and having babies. They're such a wonderful example of us and the way we should be, flying high above the world in God's beautiful creation and enjoying it and nesting in His love and care and creating more doves for Him! All through the Bible they were an example of love and peace and safety and even His Holy Spirit, the tender loving Mother like a dove! (See Psa.55:6; SoS.2:14; 5:2; Isa.60:8; Mat.3:16.)
         7. Be like God's Love Doves, showing beauty and love and peace and God to the world as His beautiful creations of love, and you'll fly too, high above the world, and only settle down to rest and create more Love Doves for the Lord. Hallelujah!
         8. And they always come home if you'll provide a home for them, like the Lord does for us. Then they'll be productive and loving and kind and beautiful and inspiring and make more doves for Him. After flying, they come to rest, just like we do. We go out flying high and showing God's beauty to the world, and then we come home and rest and love each other and make more Love Doves for Jesus, and care for them lovingly and tenderly until they too can fly and show God's love and beauty to the world! Praise You Lord! Thank You Jesus! It's amazing how much you can get out of some of the Lord's tiniest creatures! They're all such wonderful examples of His love!
         9. Doves are such good examples of our Homes: They fly together, they rest together, they make love together, have babies together, eat together, they do everything together in cooperation. There are so many lessons we can learn from God's creations.
         10. I was just thinking a while ago how our Homes are usually humble little places of abode, just sufficient to meet our needs. They don't look like much from the outside, but they've got Heaven at home! Heavenly Homes for Jesus! Thank You Lord! They're not perfect. We make lots of mistakes, but we rectify them, patch things up and still make them very useful. Even though they may not look like a glorious cathedral, they've got more life within and do more good than lots of churches! Praise the Lord! I think I could keep on going forever with God's wonderful creations!
         11. God bless you all! Be a loving Love Dove for Jesus! ILY! Let's fly around a bit! Here we go! Wow! Isn't this great! Hallelujah! Thank You Jesus for wings of love! ILY! Whee!

On the Wings of a Dove!
When troubles surround us
When evils come
The body grows weak
And the spirit grows numb.
When these things beset us,
God doesn't forget us.
He sends us His love
On the wings of a dove!

(Chorus:)
On the wings of a snow-white dove
He sends His pure, sweet love,
A sign from above,
On the wings of a dove!

When Jesus went down
To the river that day,
He was baptized,
In the usual way.
And when it was done,
God blessed His Son,
He sent Him His love,
On the wings of a dove!

(Chorus:)
On the wings of a snow-white dove,
He sends His pure, sweet love,
A sign from above
On the wings of a dove!
