SOUL-DECIMATING SHAME: Personal Stock Market Correction

I Took Jesus Christ For Granted!
I Thought That I Was Real Bright!
I Kept Jesus In My Heart
And
Most Assuredly ... Conveniently
Decidedly Out Of My Sight!

He Was As A Comfortable Shoe
Or As An Old Known Broom
Always Able To Sweep The Corners Clean
And
I Just Didn't Think On Him
Because, Well
He Was Always There
And
Useful For When I Had Things That 
Caused Me A Spot Of Bother!

An Able Convenience!

How Convenient!

Shameful, But Nevertheless True!
He Served For Me A Purpose
And
I Am Ashamed To Say
I Paid Him Good Lip Service!

How Disgraceful!
You Did Yourself A Disservice!

My Actions Were Distasteful, I Know
But
That Is How It Is
When One's Spirit Is Unregenerated
And
It Most Often Takes Something
Unwanted
Unexpected
Unsought ... Something Too Hot To Personally Handle
To Bring The Holy Jesus
Front And Center
And
Definitely
Into Our Every Living Thought!

Been There!
Done That!
Who's Got The Tee-Shirt!?!

I Got Me Some Scars!

I Don't Ever Want To Walk That Road Again!

Hard Lessons Are Often Taught
Through Sorrow, Hurt
Loss, Pain And ...!

... Don't Forget The "S" Word!

What Are You Talking About!?

Game!
Fame!
Disdain!
Shame! Shame! Shame!

Oh, Yeah!
You're Running A Game!
You Made "That"  Move Once Too Often
And
You Hold The Lord's Spirit
With Unmindful-Of-Tomorrow Disdain ...!

... And End Up In
Soul-Decimating Shame!

Yup!
That Sounds About Right!

Indeed!

But, God ...

In His Great Grace
Had Mercy
And
In The Person Of The Beloved Jesus
Died In Our Stead  
To Make The Way To Live
And
The Way To Life Plain
So That We Could The Sin-Life Shed!

Praise The Lord ...

I'm Clean!
I'm Forgiven!
I'm Walking In The Holy Way
And
Almighty God's Great Grace Being Ever Sufficient
It Is In His Holy Hands
That I Intend To Stay!

Hear, Hear!

It's Glory For Me!
Glory For Me!
I'm Bound For Glory
Brethren, Beloved
Please Come And Join Me! 

AMEN!!!

ALMIGHTY GOD: No Convenience! + PRAYER: I Honor You, Lord!






I Go To God For Blessings!
I Go To God For Comfort 
AND
Peace Sweet
AND
I Also Go To God
Because
Without Him
I Am In This Life 
Dreadfully Incomplete!

I Seek Not To Mold God
In My Image!
I Have No Power
To Humble God
At My Feet
BUT
I Do Thank God
That I Know
That He IS God
AND
Sovereign Lord
AND
I Honor Him
For His Love
For Me
Is Blessedly Sweet!

Why Should The Living God
Be To Me
An After-Thought?
Why Should Almighty God
Be To Me
A Mere Bank?
Why Should The Saving God
Be To Me
An Escape Route
When
By Having Him
As My All And All
I Can Be Reformed
Regenerated
Wholly Loved
AND
Made Clean
To Live Forever
In The Day Coming
AND
Because Of Him
Among The Stars
- At Will -
May Shoot!

God Through Jesus Christ
Is NOT My Convenience!
God IS
My Shepherd
My Very Best Friend!
God IS My First
My Last
My Beginning
AND
My End
AND
By Loving Him
Living For Him
Exercising Jesus' Faith
- Through Work Because Of Returned Love -
I Can Hope
For Things
That I See No Evidence Of!

PRAYER:

Father,
In Heaven
I Beseech You
To Bless Me Again
With Things, Thoughts
And
Insights
That Only A Holy God
Will Freely Share!

I Bless You, Lord
 For Yesterday!
I Thank You For Today's Blessing
And
For The Grace
That Gives Me Hope
For Tomorrow
All Because
It Is To You
The Holy, Loving, God
To Whom I Say My Prayers!

Teach Me, Lord,
To Love You More!
Teach Me, Lord,
To Seek You More
And
Draw Me, Lord
To That Open Door
So That I May Enter
By Perfected Right
To Live
In Bright Mansions
On The Peaceful Shore!

I Love You, Lord!
Bless Me!
I Trust You, Lord!
Lead!
I Am Your Child!
Comfort Me!
I Honor You, Lord!
Please, Speak!

Comfort Me With Your Holy Spirit
And
Let Holy Angels
Protect Me
As I This Day
Come And Go
And
Please Forgive Me
For My Trespasses
Against You
For You Are The God Holy True!
I Ask My Petitions
In The Matchless Name Of Jesus
From Whom All Blessings Flow!
AMEN.

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Answer God's Soft Calling






He doesn't believe in The Savior!
He doesn't believe in The Holy God!
He doesn't believe in The Judgment
BUT ...

SURPRISE!

He reverences and honors The Dying God King Fraud!

His life is all about Pleasure!
Acquisition is his favorite Game!
BUT
When he went - at Death's Door - into The Hospital
You wouldn't believe which God he Avidly Claimed?!

"Lord Jesus
Have Mercy upon me!
Lord God Almighty
Please take away this godawful pain
And Save Me!
I know that I denied You up to yesterday
But
Forgive Me, Lord
And Heal Me
And I will change and forever serve You! I Swear!
Truth to tell,  Lord
I desperately need You and
I don't care if the people say that I don't have any shame!"

Thus, it is
More Often than Not
With Those who have No Need for 
The Best Friend 
The Savior
The Redeemer
The Faithful True Shepherd
The Great Physician
The Holy Eternal God
The Rock Of All Ages
Our Peace
AND
Our Blessed Hope
King Jesus!

Thankfully
Our God is Not Man!
Our God calls and helps us while He can!
That Is ...
Until The Measure of Our Cup is Filled
And The Word goes out:

"Leave Him Alone!"
Hosea 4:17

And Satan and His Minions
Take Him Completely in 
Destruction's "Comfortable" Hands!
Hosea 5:14; 13:1

My Brothers, and
My Sisters
God IS NOT The Man-Made Mock Stick
Passed Around By Small Hands in The Children's Game!

Almighty God IS Holy!
Almighty God's Will IS Sovereign
AND
He doesn't Willingly Afflict 
The Man in Self-made Chains!

To Use an Old Saying
From when I was a Child:

God calls ... Softly
Again and Again!
When You get More Own-way
God Will up His "Game!" :

A Pebble Rattling on Your Glass Window
Followed by A Rock
Then The Brick
Which Bre'k Out The Whole Window
And You Done Drop With The Shock!

Better To Answer The Small Voice
Even The Pebble on The Glass
Even The Rock that Bre'k The Pane of Glass 
Than That Brick that Bre'k Out The Whole Window
And Mash Up Your Old Flask!

Stop Following The Multitude
Doing Evil, and
Spinning on The Stolen Dime!
Pull Yourself Together
OR
Your Old Friends
Will be Hearing You
Cry, Holler and Whine!

God IS Not A Convenience!
God Has Feelings, Too, and
Feelings For Me and For You!
Difference Is 
God's Feelings Are Holy 
Eternal 
Compassionate, and 
Forgiving
OR 
We Would have Long Been Removed 
From Breathing Human View! 




Man Cannot Fool
The Eternal God - His Maker

For

False Conversions Can't Last!

*******

A Benefit a/k/a Blessing 
Received
Without Our Follow-up
Corresponding PROMISED
Show Of Thankfulness
And Repentance
For
Past Sins and Misdeeds
Will Return Upon Our Heads
In A Dreadful Manner
Because Of Our Own Words!

Almighty God 
ALWAYS
Keeps His Holy Word:

The Wages Of Sin IS Death! 

*******

Answer God 
As and When He Calls!

He Really Loves
and
Wants Us
and
Desires To Save Us
Above All Else!!
