Forgive Us, Lord, As We Forgive Others!?!






Everybody Loves The Lord's Prayer
And 
Blithely Repeat It 
Without Pausing To Think About The Words 

"Forgive Us ... As We Forgive ...!" 

We Love To Talk About 
"Do Fuh Do!" 
When We Are The Doer 
And 
Foolishly Forget That 
We Are In Debt To Almighty God
Because 
We Have Trespassed 
Aka Gone Where We Should Not 
Aka Committed Sin Against His Holiness! 

We, All, Are Treading On Dangerous Ground 
When We Pray For Forgiveness 
And
Walk Around Holding Grudges Against People
- Be They Friends, Family Or Foes - 
While Daringly Saying: 
"I Will Never Forgive Them!" 

Beloved, 

Are You The True And Living Holy God Of Grace And Mercy!?! 
Do You Hold Life And Eternity In Your Hand!?! 

If Your Answer Is 
"No!" 
I Beseech Us All To Back-Back To Go Forward! 

The Lord Jesus Christ
Immediately After Teaching His Disciples 
How To Pray 
Then Warned Them Graphically 
About The Content Of Their Prayers 
And 
Their Attitude! 
To Err Is Human: 
To Forgive Is Divine! 

We Who Desire The Lord's Forgiveness 
For Our Sins Against Him 
Must First
Forgive Those 
"Who Done Did Us Wrong!" 

Let Us, Therefore
Be Obedient So That 
We Shall Be Blessed Of Our God! 

By Faith
In Truth
For The Love Of God
Dare To Extend Your Hand In Fellowship
Even If It Figuratively Gets Chopped Off! 

The Lord Of Earth And Glory 
Reads Hearts 
And
He Promises New Life And New Bodies! 
Do Right! 
Eternal Blessings Await The Obedient Enduring Faithful!


Peace
Is
Like The River Glorious!

Handsome Dark And Light: Glow Spread

When The King Of Love Shall Come
There Will Be Moths And Cockroaches!
The Moths
Shall Run Unto The Light Of Life
And
The Cockroaches
Shall Seek To Scamper Into The Darkness!
This Is The Fact Of Life!

It Doesn't Have To Be That Way! 

******

In The Land Of Man
In A Time Called Now As Then
Lives A Person Called Light!

Wherever Light Went
People Loved How He Shone
That Is Until Handsome Dark
Rolled Up Against Him
Acting All Cool And Sophisticated! 

Handsome Dark Was New-Fangled
Fashionable
And 
Every Body Who Was Anybody
Wanted A Piece Of His Action! 

He Had More Moves Than An Octopus
And
He Was Acted Like A True Split-Ring:
He Could Get Around Anything
For A Certain Somebody
And
Allegedly At Any Time! 
He Even Tried To Speak As One Divine! 

You See, Handsome Dark Knew People
Who Knew People
Who Were People With Power 
And 
Prestige And Privileges
And
As Was To Be Expected
Kindly Light Lost He Lil' Pick!

Poor Light ...! 

Whenever He Would Try To Be A Bright Spot
In De Dark Place
Some Illuminated Smart Person 
Would Offer Him The Seven "G" Salute:

Good Gracious, Grunt! 
Go Graze Green Grass! 

Light Was Considered A Panacea ... For Fools
And
He Was Disdained 
Because 
His Shining Exposed Plain Truth
To Those Who Sought The Good Master
And
Desired His Grace-Filled Gift Of Eternal Youth! 

It Was So Very Off-Putting That Soon
Light's Soothing And Clearly Beneficial Glow Started 
... I Can Hardly Say The Words ...
Started To Dim
And 
Perceptibly So! 

Dark Days Were Ahead
And
They Were Of Such Depth That 
Handsome Dark Started Wearing 
... Excuse My Please ... 
A Crown On His Cue-Ball Big Head! 

Certain People Started To Go The "Think" Route
And Very Soon
Things, Strange Things, Started To Happen! 

I Should Tell You What Those Things Were
But
Such Things Are Not Fit For Decent People
- Those On The Upward Way -
To Converse Over 
As They Have Pear Leaf Tea And Soda Biscuits! 
It's Really Off-Putting!

Well, Well, Well ...

One Well And Truly Handsome Dark-Scheduled Day
Truth Got A Call From Grace
Who Was Walking With Mercy
Who Was Embracing Dear Faith
Who Was Guiding Baby Christian
Who Was Seeking Light

But 

Unused Light Was Doing Poorly!

Light's Points Of Contact
Those Who Should Have Been Working For The King
Were Covering Themselves With Error
Doubt, Gainsaying, Lies, Fables
Other Jesus, Another Gospel
Self, Personal Truth And Alternative Facts
And
Lord, Help Us
Parasitic  And Putrid Pride! 

The Lord Of Light Was Not Sleeping

And

Hope Appeared
And
Heart Whole
She Ever Soooo Gently Roared At Fading Light:

Jesus Christ Saves!
You Are Needed!
Spread Your Glow! 

And Don't You Know
As If Struck By A Cattle Prod
A Tazer
A Downed Electric Wire
And
A Lightning Bolt
All At One And The Same Time

Light Up And Said:

I Am Light!
I Glow
And
I Shed Light In Dark Places! 

Hope Replied:

Then Live Up To Your Name! 
Glow More!
Let Your Glow Spread
And
Give Good Light
To Dispel The Darkness!

Soon, Very Soon, I Tell You
The Whole Place Was Awash In Light
And
Handsome Dark's Thrall
His Miasma
His Blanket Of Blight
Was Being Dispelled
And
From The Vicinity Expelled! 

You Should Know That He Did Not Go Quietly
But 
Go, He Did! 

When The Proverbial Dust Had Settled
And
The Post Mortem Of The Events Performed
Seeking Baby Christian Asked The Million Dollar Question:

Why Was Light's Glow
So Easily Diminished!?! 

Surrounded By Mercy, Grace, Truth, And Faith
Glowing Light Knowingly Replied:

When Light Given To The Christian 
Is Actively Acted Upon
The Christian Receives More Light
For Personal Spiritual Growth
On His Walk To Beulah Land

But

When Heavenly Light Given
Is Rejected ... Poorly Received
Ignored
No More Light Is Given
Because
The More Light Received
The More Light Rejected
The More Chastisement
You Shall Receive! 

Brethren,

We Are Responsible For What We Know
And
For What We Had Opportunity To Know ... But Rejected! 
That Is Treading On Supremely Dangerous Ground! 

What You Know ... Share
And
Your Knowledge-Base Will Grow! 
As You Grow 
Let Your Life In And For Jesus Christ Glow! 
By So Doing
You Shall Never Know Condemnation's Cruel Blow!

The Way To Salvation
Is Not
A Reality TV Show!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Dangerous Ground





It Is A Dangerous Thing
To Willfully Choose
To Denigrate God 
AND
His Holy Word
Just Because
It Is An Intellectual Pursuit
AND
It Is Dangerous, I Tell You
To Believe
That You Are Protected
By Your Scientifically-Inspired
Engineer-Designed
Non-Stick aka Teflon
AND
Fire-Proof Suit!

Man Is Not Destroyed
For Not Believing The Truth!
Man Is Destroyed
For Choosing
To Believe The Lie
That Satan
- He Of Gross Malice -
Is Serving Up On A Gold Chalice
Surrounded By Incense Odors
Covering The Stench Of The Decaying Bodies
- Of The Souls Forever Lost To Jesus Christ -
That Build His Palace!

Truth Is Truth!
It Needs No Polish
No Color
No Spin!
All That Truth Requires
Is Faith 
AND
Belief 
In The Word
- The Character -
Of The Holy One Speaking!

Start From A Position Of Strength
Believe He Is
Trust That He Will
Walk As If He Is Doing
AND
Soon
In His Faithfulness
You Will Be Partaking!

I Beseech You, Dear Ones
Beloved Of The One Who Died!
Trust Not In Academics
Nor In Pastors, Preachers
Popes, Priests, Princes
Presidents Nor Parliamentarians
Merchants Nor Traders
Monied Storytelling Nor Illuminated Elite
Who For Mammon
Do Enthusiastically Lie!
Nor Mommy Nor Daddy
Neither Friend
Family Nor Foe
Who
Following The World
The Living God Decries!

God Said!
Believe It!
He Created Us!
Honor Him!
He Preserves Us!
Bow Before Him!
He Bought Us!
Walk To Him!
He Calls Your Name!
Don't Balk! Just Go!

Wickedness Is Easy To Do!
Righteousness Requires Strength
So Ask The Living God To Help You!
Live For The Lord
For He Is Returning To This Earth Very Soon
AND
Who Knows?
It Could Be A Bright Morning
A Dusky Evening
Or The Very High Noon!

Selling Your Soul
For Merchantable Goals
Is A Game
That Has Hands
That Always Will Fold
So ...
Trust Your Soul
To Him
Whose Breath Made You
A Living Soul
To Him
Who Has Fire-Tried Gold
That Will Never Turn Rancid
Nor Valueless-Old!

*********

Faith - Just Like Prayer
Changes Everything!
