Leap ... For Joy!

Flying Leap
     Leap Of Love
          Lovers Leap
               Leap Of Faith
     Leap Year
Leap-Frog 
And
Leap For Joy!

We Discussed This Before 
And 
We Shall Do It Right Here
Right Now ... Again:
Every Christian Called Must Take
The Leap Of Faith
Or They Will Not A Seat
In The Heavenly Home Take!

But It's So Hard
Flying Into The Great Unknown 
Not Knowing If Flesh Will See The Light Of Day ...!

... It's Very Interesting That You Said The Light Of Day
And 
Not The Light Of Life!

Why Would You Worry About Seeing The Light Of Day
When He Who Is The Light Of Life
Is
Your Creator Savior And Redeemer
And
The Very One Who Has Promised That
If We Live For And Die In Him
He Will Raise Us Up To Live With Him!?!
When We Are On His Side
It Is Guaranteed That 
We Shall Reach The Golden Shore!

Have You All Not Realized Yet That 
It Is Your Carnal Side That's Calling The Shots
And
Sending You Down The Primrose Path
And
All The While Making You Forget That 
Our Savior Did Not Wear 
A Crown Of Velvety-Soft Sweet-Smelling Roses!?!
Rebuke Self!

It Was For Our Salvation That Jesus Wore That 
Cruel, Tortuous, Crown Of Thorns
Real Spikes 
Not Cute, Little, Bitty Pimplers
So, Be Grateful For Grace
And
Leap For Joy!

In The Love Of The Lord Christ
There Is No Disgrace!
Of His Living Love For You
See To It That
You Daily Take Your Taste!
And
Exercise Your Holy Faith! 

Remember That He Is Our Shepherd!

Life Makes It So Easy At Times To Forget That!

Well, See To It That From Here On In That
You, By Working Faith, Choose To Remember!


Remember The Sweet Psalmist, King David 
Who Confidently Said:

And
Rest In The Blessed Assurance!
 The Day That We Fully Believe That Our Shepherd 
Is 
The Lord Most High
The God Of Grace
The Creator Of The Universe 
And 
Our Best Friend 
Whom We May Call Upon 24/7 
For Any Reason At All
Is 
The Day That We Will Indeed Know 
What It Is Not To Want ... Anything! 

We Want What We Don't Have 
But 
When We Realize That All Our Desires Are Fulfilled 
By And In Christ Jesus
We Find Peace And Rest
Fulfillment 
And 
Satisfaction 
In Knowing That Jesus Christ Is Our All In All! 

We Are Because He Is
And 
We Are, Through Him, Ever Blessed! 
He Provides For All Our Needs: Ask And Ye Shall Receive! 
Trust And Obey! 
Walk Wise And Pray
And 
Shop In Heaven's Storehouse: Our Bill Is Already Paid!

There Is Peace In Joy And Joy In Peace
And Jesus Christ's Peace Is Ours:
He Has Given It As A Gift!
Drop A Knee And Say: "Please!"

I'll Tell You The Truth!
Put That Way
That Leap Of Faith Is Looking Mighty Attractive!

I Hear You!
It Even Sounds To Me Like A Leap Of Love
When We Leap-Frog Over That Damned Satan
And Into The Arms Of Our Lord!

No Sound, My Friend!
It Is The True Leap Of Love!

PROFIT And LOSS: Insight And Foresight!! + Prayer





If I Wittingly Willingly Give Up This World Now
To Gain Heaven Later
I Also Get The Earth Made New ... Later
AND
I Get Both ... Forever!

My Present Loss By Foresight
IS
My Eternal Gain
By Blessed Insight!

If I Wittingly Willingly Give Up Heaven Later
To Get The World Now
I Lose Forever ... Forever
AND
My Now Has No Later!

My Present Gain
IS
My Eternal Loss
BECAUSE
Insight Was Rejected
AND
Foresight Studiously Ignored!

I Don't Know About You, But ... 

By Faith
AND 
In Certain Hope
I Lose To Gain!

Let Me Put It Another Way:

My Mother Gave Me A Large
Heavy
Gaily Decorated Fruit Basket ... With Extras!
It Was A Delight To My Thirsty Eyes
AND
Carnal Heart!

My Basket Contained
- Amongst Other Things - 
A Blank Check
AND
A Bearer Bond
A Hand Of Bananas
A Cluster Of Grapes
A Dozen Oranges
Nine Mamie Apples
Six Star Fruit
Three Avocados
One Pawee Mango
A Deed To A Candy Factory
AND
A One-Way Ticket To
"Do What Thou Wilt!"
In That Beautiful Land
- That Tries Men's Souls  -
Time Flies When You're Having Fun!

She Then Calmly Said:

When (No If) You Get Into Trouble
Have A Difficulty
Need A Friend
Desire To Truly Get Ahead
Want To Get Home
Require Good And Sound Advice
Need A Forever Blessing
Or
Just Want To Talk
Call Your Father! 
He'll Always Answer!
Listen, Listen, Listen To Your Father! 

She Then Put Me Out Of Her House
Threw A Suitcase Behind Me
AND
Shouted:

That Is What Your Father Left For You!

I Missed My Duhduh! 

I Sat On The Sidewalk
Stunned
Slightly Bewildered
BUT
Thoroughly Excited For, Well
ADVENTURE!!

I Was Free To Be ... Me, Me, Me, MEEEE!!! 

Truth Be Told ... 

I Wasn't Quite Ready To Be A Pop-Kite Just Yet
Soooo
I Called My Granny, Watch N. Pray!
Of Calling On The Living God
She Does Not Miss A Way
Nor A Day!

Long Short Story Short ...

I Moved Into My Granny's House
Next Door To Willful Blindness
And Across From Belief S. Belief
And Perpendicular To Truth N. Error!

Behind The House
And A Ways From The Bridge Over Troubled Waters
Was Stradling D. Fence
The Lineman
AND
Next To Him Was Wild N. Free
The Graphic Artist
Who Was Rearing A Free-Range Child Called
Tek A. Knee!

When I Was Settled In My Granny Place
I Finally Took The Time
To Look At My Duhduh Suitcase!

Color Me Delighted And Shocked! 

What At The Distance
Looked Like Pretty Scroll-Work
Was Actually Writing On The Panels
In Clear Script
In What Used To Be Yellow Gold! 

The Words 
(My Father Loves Me!) 
Said:

Be Careful Of The Fruit You Eat!
Eating Candy Is Not Always A Treat!
Doing As You Like ... Now
May Give You A Thrill
But
KNOW THIS:
The Bearer Bond May Be Lost
The Blank Check Is Crossed
AND
Sweet Life Does Not Last!
A Starving Prodigal Will Eat Pig Swill!
AND
A Troubled Spirit Will Covenant Secrets Spill!
Don't Grieve Away The Holy Spirit!

Be Wary Of Where You Choose To Sleep!
AND 
Let Not Physical Beauty Go To Your Head
If You Want Your Head To Keep!

The Book Inside ...
Please Put Its Words On Your Inside
And
In The Lord Of The Book
You May Confidently Confide
Because
For You And Me
And All Who Will Believe
He Conquered Sin Death Hell And The Grave
And Is In Heaven
Interceding With The Father God
And For Us
Preparing A Place!
Whatever You Do
DON'T!!! Make A Shipwreck Of
Jesus Christ's Faith!!

Of The Mingled Wine
Do Not Take A Taste!
Pray The Promises! 
Trust The Eternal Word!
Run The Race For The Win!
Get Shuck Of The Goat Herd!
Don't Profane God's Word!

Trust Me!
I Have Never Told You A Lie:
Your Mother's Gifts Are Temporal
And Are Only Good For Now! 
Their Use Will Bring You Great Sorrow
For They Engender Confidence In Self
And In That Satan
Masquerading As A Benignant Storybook Elf! 
Please Place Them Into The Suitcase
AND
Use The Good Book As Your Life-Guide!
Everything You Need
To Prepare Your Soul For Eternity
Is Between Its Covers Inside!

The Holy Spirit Will Teach You And Chide! 
Holy Angels Will Protect You
And Influence You For Good
And With The Heavenly Intelligences Cooperating
Sin Satan And Self
Will Be Withstood!

Study The Book! 
Redeem The Time! 
Look Up! 
Do Not Turn Aside To Fables! 
Reason With The Holy God! 
Deny The Liar:
He Is The Cast Out Of Heaven Fraud! 

I Thought For A Long Moment ...

I Was Sorely Tempted
Truth To Ignore!
I Could Go Hog-Wild
AND
Eventually
End Up Eating Swill
Instead Of Enjoying A Chill-Pill
Or I Could Go Long For Long-Term Gain
AND
Forget Temporal Power And Fame!

It Was A Choice Between Distant  Shadow
AND
Present, Held, Substance!

I Was In A Bind
A Pickle
Between A Rock And A Hard Place ... But ...

At Length
My Momma's Own Words
Enlivened My Mind:

Trust Your Father!

Before Long ... I Cried Unto The Lord:

Hear My Supplication! 
Forgive My Sin - I Have Many! 
Do For Me
What Only The Eternal God Can! 
Give Me A Clear Way
To Walk Into The Holy Land!
Please Short-Circuit
Satan's Obvious Plans
For
I Desire To Reside
In The Delightsome Land! 
If You Will Go With Me
And
Bless Me
You Shall Be My God
And
I Shall Worship You
As Long As My Life Shall Last!

Let Not The Destroyer
Over Me
Gain The Upper Hand!
Help Me To Be Contented 
With Manna From Your Holy Hand
And
To 
Not Desire The Dainties
From The Flesh-Pots Of Sin!
Help Me To Humble Myself Before You!
I Am Approaching You, Lord
My Faith Showing, Bold!
AMEN.

Renewed ... 

I Pointed My Life Toward
The City Of The Blessed
AND
I Am Glad
That I Chose The Shepherd Of Rest!

I Have Lost Kindred
To Cushy Comfort And Careless Convenience!
I Have Made A Few Mistakes
BUT
With A Heart Fixed 
On The God Of My Father
My Life
Is Assuredly Not Sorry!
I Do Not Ride On Sin's Open-Back Lorry! 

As For My Heart
- God Willing - 
It Shall Assuredly Be Eternally Glad
When By Christ I Shall Be
Gold Crown Crowned 
AND
White-Robe Clad!

By The Way ... 

I Do Not Ever Wear Plaid!
Think About It!

Please ... 

Do Not Let Your Self By Satan Be Had!
Do  Not For The New Faith Fall!
Do Not To The Lust In Your Belly Crawl!
Purchased Pretties 
Turn Positively Putrid 
After Acquisition: Do Not Buy By Belly Nor Eye!

From Christ The Lord
Eye Salve
Linen White And Clean
And
Fire-Tried Gold
Buy!

Truth
Don't
Can't
Won't Lie!

HAPPY SABBATH + Power vs. Strength + PRAYER: Lord, Remember Me, And Save Me!






Do You Realize
That Man Has The Power
To Crucify The Lord Jesus Christ Afresh
BUT
He Does Not Have The Strength
Not To Do It Again?!

We Are Called
To Be Strong
In The LordBUT
Man Is Too Arrogant To Be Humble
AND
Instead
Takes Up The Ways Of The Fraud!

Do You Realize
That When A "Strong" Man Is Caught
In Known Wrong-Doing
That His Voice Is Powerful
AND
His Manner Is Forceful
BUT
When He Was In The Position
To Make The Decision
Between Wrong And Right
He Had Not The Mindful Strength
To Say To The Father

Lord,
I Need Your Strength!
Save Me!
Please Do Not Let Me Into Sin Fall Down!?

In Should Be Noted That ...

Our Almighty God Has The Power
To Destroy Man
AND
He Also Has The Strength ... Of Perfect Love
To Say:

I Shall Pay Me
With Mine
To Save Him
That Shall My Faithful 
Blessing
Redeeming
Graceful
Merciful Love
Boastfully Decline!


Men Should Learn From God!
BUT
They Won't
For They're Foolish ...
AND
... The Fool Says
In His Great Heart
That There Is No God ...!
... A la Satan! 

PRAYER:

Heavenly Father,
Please Hear My Prayer!

I Am Calling Upon You!
Please Do Not Turn Me Away!


I Am A Weak Being!
I Am But Dust
And
My Nature
Causes Me To Love The Wrong
And
My Inherited
And
Cultivated Tendencies
Cause Me To Seek Ever Always
To Do That Which
Will Never Make My Faith Strong!
Help Me
So That Sin, Self And Satan
Cannot To Hell
Take Me Down!

Of My Free Will
I Choose To Accept The Offered
And
Free Salvation
So
Pity Me, Lord
In This Life Of Distress!
Help Me 
For You, Alone, Are Able!
Help Me
For You, Alone, Are Strong!

Lead Me, Lord
Into Your Fullness
And
Take Me In Hand
For I Desire
To Be Among The Saved Ones
E'er I Hear The Trumpet Sound!

Thank You, Lord
For Your Goodness!
Thank You, Lord
For Blessed Grace!
Thank You, Lord
For The Great Sacrifice
That Assures Me That In Heaven
I Have A Personal Place!

Oh, Lord,
Grant Me Victory Over Sin!
Grant Me Victory Over Self!
Grant Me Victory In Christ Jesus
And
Against That Devil Masquerading 
As A Fabled Storybook Elf!

Pour Out Of Your Holy Spirit Upon Me
And
Save Me, Lord
For I Do Love You!
In Jesus Christ's Holy Name
I Stand, And Plead!
Please Remember Me!
AMEN.
