PRAYER: Grant Me A Pleasant Harvest

Oh, Heavenly Father
With Cleansing Tears
I Have Cast Before You All My Mortal Fears!
Please Grant Me A Pleasant Harvest
So That My Heart May Ever Sing
So That My Song May Ever Be Joyous
And
So That My Eyes May Stay Bright With Hope
For The Wonders That Await Me In Glory
And
Most Of All, Father
For The Promised Eternal Rest
Beholding My Lord And My God
Face To Faith
Face To Face!

Lord,
Have Mercy On Me
And
Help Me
No Matter The Provocation
No Matter The Problem
No Matter The Grief
No Matter The Pain
Not To Make My Love For You
And
My Hope For Certain Glory
A Carnal Lie!
Help Me To Live For You
Whilst Life Shall Last
And
Until For The Long Sleep
At Last, I Die!

In Jesus Christ's Holy Name, Father
I Make My Earnest Plea
And
In His Holy Faith, I Take My Stand!
In Hope, I Spy
The Glorious Land!
AMEN.

PRAYER: Lord, Help Me To Run Life's Race For The Win!


Heavenly Father,
I Come As A Child
A Servant
A Willing Learner
A Follower Dedicated To Christ
A Soul Consecrated To The Eternal God
Indwelt By The Holy Spirit
And
Ever Watched Over
By God-Appointed Angels
And
Beseech You
In The Only Name That Matters
- Jesus Christ My Lord -
To Help Me To Let Go
- Willingly Let Go -
Of Those Things
Which I Cannot Keep
And
To Hold On
To Those Things Given By You
Which - If Enduringly Faithful -
I Cannot Lose!

Help Me, Lord
To Run The Race For Life
So That I May Behold My Jesus In Peace
And
Achieve The Laurel Of Glory
The Garment Of Righteousness
The Glorious Crown
The New Name In Glory
And
The Mansion Of The Blessed!
I Desire The Eternal Rest!

Do For Me, Lord
What Only The Holy God Can Do
Is My Heartfelt Plea!
AMEN.

CHOOSE LIFE: Don't Make A Second-Death Reservation!

There Is Nothing Written
In The Holy Bible
That Can Be Measured
For Sight-Seeing Purposes!
All Therein Written
Is Written Such That
Man May Secure To Himself
That That Is Profitable
Namely
Soul Edification!

The Good Book States
To All Living
That Its Words Should Stay In Our Mouths
That We Should Meditate Therein
Day
AND
Night
So That We May Observe
Know
To Do All Therein Written
IF
It Is Our Desire To Take
The Heavenward Flight!

The Good Book
That Book Of The Law
Clearly States
That By Following All Its Tenets
We Shall Make Our Way
Prosperous
AND
Ensure Ourselves
Good Success!
We Shall Be
By The Living God
Blessed!

How Much
How Much More Instructing
Does A Soul Need
To Forestall Self-Destruction
Before One Suffers Soul-Malfunction
Before One Books A Second-Death Reservation?!

Do The Will! - Live! - Spiritually Prosper!
Don't Do! - Die!
AND, THEN
Forever
Die!
Why Should You Die Because Of The Lie?!
Temporal Prosperity
Is Not A Guarantee Of Flight Above The Sky!

Straight To The Point
Is The Word Of The Living God!
Walk In His Ways
AND
Secure
For One's Self
The Eternal Reward!

God Does Not Stutter!
He Does Not Have To Repeat Himself!
He Does Not Require An Interpreter
NOR
Does He Require A Truth Translator!
The God Of All Means Exactly What He  To Us Utters!

Do God's Will
AND
The Hungry Soul Fill!
Walk The Christ-Filled Talk
AND
Let Satan Vainly Squawk!

Climb The Hill
BUT
Do Not Stop To Relax
In Some Seemingly Pleasant
AND
Verdant Glade
For
In So Doing
You May Face
- For Lack Of Constant Vigilance -
The Sword Of The Lord's Mouth
His Two-Edged Blade!

The Call Of The Shepherd - The Rock of Ages




I wanted to be Really Rich
Until I saw the Decay
That was present, and oh, so rampant
Amongst those with whom Wild Riches held Sway

I wanted to be Really Famous
Until I saw the Decay
That was present and oh, so rampant
Amongst those with whom Notoriety held Sway

I really wanted to be Powerful
Until I saw the decay
That was present, and oh, so rampant
Amongst those with whom Earthy Corrupting Power held Sway

I wanted to be Seen
To be Heard
To be Welcomed ... Understood
Until I saw what the Herding Mentality
Did to those Bathing in its Murky Water of Dragon Blood

I came upon a Plain Altar
Made of Undressed Stones and Plain Rocks
Tended by a Gentle Shepherd
Face marred, hands and feet sullied - I stood in shock
He looked at me - His smile ... I saw Glory
He talked with me - His voice ... Slow Water
Flood Raging Checked Welcoming Pure Gold
And I heard The Call of The Ages
Saying: 


"Come To Me! 
Let Me Wash You! 
I Shed My Living, Eternal, 
Saving, Blood for You!"


To say I was shocked ... Understatement!
To say I was horrified ... Let me get away from here!
To say I was sad, happy, afraid, moved, running away ... I walked to Him!
He help out His Arms ... I fitted in The Cleft
I knew no alarm!

Home. 
I felt At Home. 
I felt Comforted.
Redeemed. 
Forgiven. 
Truly Blessed.
Happy. 
So Joyous. 
Triumphant.
My Jesus ... The Shepherd ... of  Eternal Rest!

I no longer felt I wanted The World's Goods
Its Applause
Affirmation
Its Stress
I needed to be with My Jesus
At Home ... with The Eternal ... The King of The Blessed.

I gave The Wants the old "Heave Ho!"
I gave Pressure To Succeed The Seven G's!
Good Gracious! God Is Mine!
Go Graze Green Grass!
And showed The Wicked World
The Front of my Behind!

I need to Live with My Jesus
I need to Worship My God
I need a Gold Crown to Wear in Glory
Where I'll spend enjoy Eternity 
Eternity with My Lord as My Eternal Reward!


I AM THE SALT OF THE EARTH!

I WILL NOT BE TURNED INTO SALT!

I WILL NOT LOOK BACK AT THE WORLD

FOR

#MYHEADISTOWARDHEAVEN

SOON BREAKING THROUGH 

THE CASCADING CLOUDS!
