VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Loving Incautiously




I have loved incautiously!
I have loved a love that denigrated me
A love that took repeatedly
Yes, yesterday, I loved incautiously.

Today, I Love incautiously
I Love The Son of Man who elevates me
The Man whose Love for me was proved sacrificially
Today, I happily Love incautiously!


Dear Ones:

Love that takes for itself is not love!

Our Master, The Eternal God, set the standard for us by giving to us His All - His Very Life.

He has stated:



In this corporeal realm, a person may die for another, but that death saves a life now that will die later, and possibly forever at The Judgment!

Many of us give to our partners, spouses, children, bosses, jobs, best friends, pets, hobbies and possessions more love and attention than we will offer to God.

We are, and have been, guilty of this sin - it IS Sin - and we need to repent in sackcloth and ashes i.e., copious tears and prayers for Forgiveness, Mercy and Grace.

We wittingly love wrongly!

 We also wrongly, willingly, love incautiously!

 We also wittingly, willfully, live and love incautiously, and the Pathway to our Living In Peace is paved with If Only, Would Have, Could Have, Should Have, But, Didn't and Regrets!

Nevertheless, because of the Love of God, and our acceptance of His Grace, via His Mercy, we may choose - it IS a choice - to Love Jesus Christ with gay abandon, i.e., without fear and trembling!

Let us 
REORDER 
our priorities!

Let us 
MAKE 
JESUS FIRST!

Let us, by The Grace of God Which Passes ALL Understanding, cast all our fears aside and Love Jesus wittingly, willingly, willfully and rightly ... Incautiously!



Jesus has made Unimaginable Plans for Our Wedding Celebration and, I am sure, Wonders Will Abound!



Be encouraged, and

Be well, and be gloriously blessed!

Prayer: Help Me, Lord, To Remember

When ugly sin within me roils and boils
Help me to reject it, and from it recoil
When my known sin I must confess
Lord, help me never again it to possess!

When sin masquerades in pretty dress
Let me suspect it, and thusly address
All the pitfalls, and pranks, and put-ups inspired
To my Lord who has me through Jesus' blood covered!

When I’m acting all lily-livered
Not wanting to offend my friends though they do slither
Help me, Lord, to remember that Jesus Christ bought
Me new life when His Precious Life was made nought!

When I’m behaving stupidly
Saying and doing things right foolishly
Lord, I plead for, and accept, the rod of correction You apply
For I do not want to lose my home with my Jesus Christ on High!

Lord, I love You! Yes, I do!
And for this Old Satan has targeted me for attack
But, thank You, Father, for Mercy and Grace
For because of Christ’s sacrifice I will win this race!
AMEN.

Prayer: Asking God for Renewal



ARE YOU WEARING SIN SHADES?



Oh, Father, have mercy on me!
I give You my sinner’s heart and
Ask You for the renewing that
Comes from repentance
And from rejecting complicity, and
Refusing again to live in sin’s shade!
Bless me, help me, and shield me
From Satan’s sophistries, and sure-ways by
Keeping me praying, and praised up, and
Walking uprightly on the King’s Highway!
AMEN.


HEART RENEWAL  X  CHRIST = SAVED

Ephesians 2:8-10 (KJV)

8For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9Not of works, lest any man should boast. 10For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
