For Treva Thompson, fear was a ferocious force that seemed larger than anything she could conquer. It held an overwhelming grasp that bound her mind and spirit. When God’s light was shed upon her fear, the darkness gradually faded. Hope and love took the place of fear and doubt. God’s peace embraced her, while her lifelong fear fled.
In The Fruit that Is Ripe Is Always Sweeter, Thompson shares her poetic story of longing to discover God’s unwavering love. She has learned that God’s love is always with us and always available to all who seek it. This collection is an uplifting account of a soul’s venture to be set free from the bounds of fear while seeking God, revealing life-giving truths with no condemnation.
With God’s help, Thompson found love and peace. She sought God’s presence, and He answered. The wisdom revealed was overwhelmingly easy to understand and use in her daily life, bringing her comfort and joy. When God opened her eyes, His truth became real to her. There are still trials and tribulations, but Thompson now confides in a divine friend through prayer and the written word.
By writing this book, I hope to minimize the questions in people’s minds; where there are, misgivings, interpretations, traditions, rites and rituals; that may have left them questioning their relationship with God; after they came to know Him.
As I searched God’s Word, I found many answers that brought understanding of Jesus’ teachings. These simple, plain, easy to understand principals opened my eyes.
I have tried to portray the greatest gift we will find: (in our searching the Bible) is a heavenly Father that will never leave us, nor forsake us, but will be with us to give His love, wisdom and understanding of our life’s questions.
I hope to convey that He is the rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. The height and depth of His word is without measure; and have found there is no private interpretation of His Word.
These writings tell that there is a blessing when we have it settled in our thinking of who we are, who we want to be, and how to achieve that goal?
When “One Breath Away,” is read, there will never be any condemnation nor discrimination; only peace.
Every truth presented, is rooted and grounded in God’s Word. The more we study His Word the greater we find His grace and His freedom for His children.
I want others to find God’s Words are alive, and we find His Words will never return void. His Words speak to each one of us, just where we are in our faith. We are all reared in different beliefs. His Word covers each one of us wherever we are. God not only will reach out His hand to you; but will gently lead you with His love.
His truths are easily entreated and enriches our spirit. His word settles it in our heart and mind that we can please our heavenly Father.
Through her reseach and Bible study, author Treva Scott Thompson discovered that God rewards those who diligently seek him. She transformed from being a child of fear to finding a father who dwells within. Since we are his temple, he communicates in a way we can understand and find peace. As Thompson sought God, she wrote down her prayers, and as she wrote, his words began to flow out of her.
These messages include the words he used as he talked to the multitudes while here on earth, words of comfort and peace, and words that were written in the Bible. These words helped Thompson understand him and provided comfort to her. In You Can Know His Voice, she includes some of the writings, essays, and poems, sharing the lesson that we are his children, and he says we cannot live by bread alone. Every word that comes from God’s mouth has fresh food for us every day.
You Can Know His Voice chronicles the conflicts and victories, sharing how Thompson’s thinking was the biggest battle. Things she had been taught as a youngster had to be erased before God could write upon her heart and mind. Fear and condemnation are not of him, she learned. He desires peace, rest, comfort, and faith for us.
God’s perfect plan for my life is
Too magnificent for me to realize.
I must walk one step at a time,
Looking ahead to grasp His mercy
Would be too wondrous
For this earthly temple to enfold.
God spoke the universe into existence. Because His words are the same as He is, we know He is near and need not fear, only believe.
