HAPPY SABBATH + The Door To Forever!






The door was ... wide open
Inviting who would to ... enter in!
Everybody before him had just ... walked in
But he ... knocked?!

My response was immediate
My pulse began to race
And if you would believe this
There was a blush upon my face!

Hmmm
This is different ... but why
This is strange ... and how
Memory is ... awakened
I know him ... somehow
I have met him before but ... where
Were we lovers ... before
I should know.

I look at his face and ...
Oh, yes!
I know Him ... Immanuel a/k/a Jesus
He is the One I truly loved ... but
He is the One I truly needed ... but
He will give me tomorrow ... but
He erases the past ... but
He gives ... peace ... but
He provides ... rest, but
He wanted
Oh, how He wanted ...!
He wanted me!
ALL ... OF ... ME!

When we had been together ... before
He had wanted me ... not my offered 99%
He wanted all ... for that is what He had spent
No half measures
No momentary shares
Not just tonight
Not maybe tomorrow
He wanted my all
He caused me much sorrow
Yet gave me such joy!
With my soul in His heart
My heart in His hand
My body in His keeping
The world I was defeating and ... yet
I gave Him up and ... regretted it
Every ... day ... since ... then!
Now ... He ... is .... HERE ... again!?!
In my personal, private, room
We are alone
No interruptions
We can talk ... freely
Of life
Of LOVE
Of longing
Of neglect
Of regret
Of sorrows
Of shame
Of changes
Of SECOND CHANCES
Of HOPE
Of ... FORGIVENESS
Of ... ACCEPTANCE
Of ... union ... reunion
Of ... COMMUNION
Of ... narrow roads
Of ... wide travels
Of ... trials
Of ... tribulations
Of ... TEMPTATIONS
Of ... GUARANTEES
Of ... HOME
Together
Forever
In  ... rapturous ... Bliss
He asked for ... my heart
I gave Him ... my hand
He asked ... for my hand
And I gave Him ... My Hurts
My Hopes
My Fears
My Dreams ... and My Heart!
My ALL ... for His ALL and ALL ... FOREVER!

PRAYER: Lord, At This Very Moment



Lord, I offer you my life as my story for examination. Will You correct it and direct me in its continuation?

I come before you as a Child and a Willing Student, and I am prayerfully open to Your Direction.

Would you please correct my use of the language, my thought process, my punctuation, and my beliefs, and please add anything else - even a character builder - if it will cause my final grade to be the Mark of Perfection.

Where there is error, please put a full stop to it, and add in the Spirit of Correction and Direction.

Where there is a stray mark indicating my lack of focus and confidence, put a "Don't Do It!" period mark, and put in The Way-mark for Erasure of Sin and Indecision, and re-calibrate my Compass and make plain The Destination on My Mission Map.

Where there are deeds of love and compassion and caring, please put a "Well Done!" exclamation point for Good and Faithful Servants, and add in a song to cheer me on as I continue on The Way.

Where there is fear and failing, put a "Why Do You Doubt?" question mark and cover it with The Blood, and add a "God Can!" booster.

Where there are prayers and praise honoring and glorifying you, Lord, put a sign of Peace and Protection in Jesus.

And if my story has an "And The Night Cometh," please put the Mark of The Overcomer on the final page of stone, and a "Welcome Home, Child!" as the Victor's grade.

Lord, in it all, though I ask in my understanding, I plead with You to fulfill all according to Your Will for my life, for I know that You are Able and will do what is best for me.

Lord, my confidence is in You, and I love you and worship You in faith. Amen.

HAPPY SABBATH + Free Will and Wild Ways!




IF I am living for my body
It must be because I am lacking in Department Brain
Which means that I, therefore, lack reason and thus
Behave like a starved animal in chains
Hungry, restricted, abused
Abusing myself for lack of a  meal feel
Which gives stomach-Satan the upper hand
To make me do whatever he please.

God made us in His Image.
God gave us Reasoning Free Will
Not to be used like currency
On hypochondriacs needing placebo sugar pill.

Problem with this thing called Free Will
Is that we can use it however we please
To help, to hurt, to hound
To turn a frown upside down
Thence to cry foul when Free Will wastes
Wounds, wrecks, and rebounds.

Thought is to think
What foul is to stink,
And Free Will is tied to - and tried by - Responsibility.

You know right from wrong -
It is written in your Code
So living like a Lush in lard will clog up Free Will and
Waste your Living Soul.

Okay. Let us think this through once more!

I don't meant to be a bore
But Free Will wastes if used solely on food 'n mood!
Food fattens off a feed!
Mood maddens off a need!
And Greed is Old Satan's pet steed!

Everything about Freewill is summed up this way:

Food - either for the body, or for the soul.
Give The Giver your Will and
He'll guide your Way
Fill your Soul
And the needs of your Body
Will be met under His loving control!

Free will
Self will
Won't Self set free.
Pray to The Father
Get on the knee
Deny your Self
Put your "wise ways" on the shelf
Do it willingly
And then - by God's Grace - you will be set free.


WILL means:

W hat
I
L ove, I
L oad - Good in bowl - Bad for the soul!

Just Because You Didn't 
Pay A Penny 'n a Pound
For 
Your Free Will
It Doesn't Mean You Should 
Sell IT To Sin 'n Satan for a (s)Cent!

Take the "I" out of WILL and add an "L" and it now means:

W illingly
L etting the
L ord
L ead.

Let us All strive to 
DAILY
let 
Our Almighty God 
LEAD US
to True Liberty by 
GIVING
or
RETURNING 
or
TURNING OVER
our 
FREE WILL
to 
Him!
