Walk Worthy Of Your High Calling To The Glorious Kingdom!

 












Dare To Be Kind! 
Valiantly Choose To Be Loving! 

You Are Freely Given Everything From The Lord 
So Gratefully Give A Lil' Something To Somebody 
Just Because You Want To And Can! 

You Have Been Forgiven Much By The Lord 
So Generously Be Forgiving! 

Be Faithful Until Death: 
The Life-Giver Will Awaken You! 

Be Hopeful All Day Every Day! 
Bless The Holy God Who Infinitely Blesses You! 

Humbly, Gladly, Give Praise To The Lord 
Because 
He Deserves It! 
Praise Is What We Do!

Bless Yourself By Praying To The Almighty God 
Who Desires Communion And Communication With You 
Because 
Of Heavenly Love! 

Walk Worthy Of Your High Calling To The Glorious Kingdom! 

Endure All Things For The Lord Jesus 
Who Endured All Things To Gain For You 
The Right To Become A Son, A Daughter, Of Our Father God, The Almighty
And 
To Sit At The Table At The Feast For The Forever Blessed ... By Right! 

Beloved, 

Almighty God's Love ... Jesus Christ The Lord
Is 
Our Own For The Taking! 

Open Your Arms And Freely Enjoy The One Gift That 
All The Wealth Of The World 
Is 
Not Enough To Initiate The Sale 
Or Finalize The Purchase! 

Sing "Hallelujah!" 
Our God Is Good And Faithful! 
Amen! 

Peace!

HAPPY SABBATH + GRATITUDE: Let Your Tongue Be A Ready Writer!










 








How Often Have We ... In The Euphoria Of Blessings Received
Chosen To Do A Show And Tell Of The Things We Have Gotten 
And 
Have Totally Forgotten
Ignored, Disregarded, Or Dismissed 
The Grace, Mercy, Love
And 
Kindness Of The Giver Of All Our Good Gifts!?! 

Where Is Our Gratitude!?! 

Do We Not Realize That If Our God Took Offense 
At Our Graceless Oversights, And Downright Devilish 
"I Deserve This!" Attitude, That 
He Could Take Away Our Pride And Joy 
And 
Leave Us Useless, Homeless, Penniless
And 
Powerless For Our Boldly Base Behavior!?! 

One Leper Out Of Ten 
Knew And Truly Understood Where His Blessing Came From 
And 
Turned Back To The Master To Give Him
To Give Almighty God
Real Praise! 

Good King Hezekiah
After He Was Raised Up From His For-Sure Death-Bed
Instead Of Telling The Babylonian Strangers 
Inquiring About His Blessings That 
It Was The True And Living Holy God 
Who Blessed And Kept Him And His Nation
He Showed Them His Things! 

After They Left To Return To Their Nation
The Sentence Came From God
- Through The Prophet Isaiah - 
That All That The Babylonians Had Seen 
Would Follow Them To Their Homeland! 

Dear Ones, 

Be Wise! 

The Lord Of Life Giveth 
And 
The Lord Calling Us Home To Himself Taketh Away 
So Let A Thankful Heart Keep Your Bountiful Blessings On You 
And 
In Your Home! 

Give Almighty God His Owed ... And Deserved ...  Praise: 
Let Your Tongue Be A Ready Writer! 

Peace!

Indulging Kindness Is Like Choosing To Plant A Wheat Crop Everyday!



Here's A Contrary Thought: 
Kindness Costs: Wickedness Pays! 

Huh!?! 

Work With Me! 

Kindness Is Not Part Of Our Natural Persona 
And 
Requires A Substantial Conscious-Effort Investment 
To Bring Forth Fruit! 

We Must Decide ... By The Grace Of The Holy God 
- Through The Holy Spirit's Working -
To Be Loving, Kind, And True To Our Call To Eternal Life 
If
We Will Partake The Joy 
When The Times Of Refreshing Come From Our Lord! 

On The Flip Side
Wickedness Pays Punishment In Spades 
To All Those Who Have Chosen To Live Life 
According To The Notion That 
Almighty God Is Blind With Short Arms 
And
Is Deaf, Dumb, And Dead
That Finite Aka Short-Lived Man Is God
That Only Sin Satisfies
That Do As You Like Is The Whole Of The Law
And 
Good Is A Cooked Goose Served Next To The Cole-Slaw! 

Beloved, 

Whether We Look At Life Front To Back Or Back To Front
The End-Result Will Be The Same! 

Say It With Me: 

"We Reap What We Sow 
And We Eat What We Grow!" 

The Job For Which You Faithfully Clock-In 
Will Pay For The Hours Worked: 
On The Book Of Record There Will Be No Flaw! 

Dear Ones, 

Indulging In Wickedness Requires No Effort: 
It's As Blood In Your Veins! 

Indulging In Kindness As The Way To Live 
Is 
Like Getting Seeds To Plant A Wheat Crop Every Day 
Just So You Can Get Fresh Flour Every Day 
To Bake Fresh Bread Every Day 
To Share With Others Every Day 
To Bless God With Our Willing Service Every Day! 

Think About It! 

Peace!

I Love You!




We Have No Corporate Sponsorship 
And 
No One Will Receive Truck-Loads Of Money 
From Selling Stuff To Make Weary People Feel Wonderful! 

We Have The Direct Command Of 
The Captain Of Our Salvation
Lord Jesus, The Good Shepherd
The Prince Of Peace
The King Of Love, Who Says: 


"Love One Another!" 


Beloved, 

I Love You! 

I Sincerely Say That To You 
Because 
He Who Commands Us to Love Each Other 
Demonstrated 
And 
Unfailingly Demonstrates His Love For Me Daily 
By His Blessed, Unremitting, Care 
And
For Gratitude ... And With Thankfulness 
I Give, Extend, Show His Love For Me To You! 

Love Serves! 

I Will Speak Kindly To You 
And 
Will Actively Listen To You! 

I Will Show You My Heart 
Which Is Daily Being Remodeled By Sovereign Grace! 

I Will Gently Extend My Hands To You 
Because 
I Am Seeing The Forever-Marred Hands Of Our Dear Savior 
Bringing Help And Administering Healing To Me! 

I Will Look At You With The Eyes Of Heavenly Love 
Because 
They Are Being Cleansed With Eye-Salve From The Great Physician! 

Today, Dear One, 
I Choose To Not Look At What We Are 
But At Who We Are Becoming Through The Abiding Presence Of 
The Holy Spirit, Our Comforter
The Great School-Master
Who Is Leading Us-Willing Into Truth! 

I Will Love You By Thought, Word, And Deed 
And
That Includes Kindly Telling You All Of The Truth
Even That Which You May Deem Inconvenient! 

Jesus Christ Is Love 
And 
Love Saves! 
Let Us Choose To Be Like Our Dear Jesus Today! 

I Love You! 

Peace!

Don't Be A Bully: Never, Ever, Give In To A Bully!



One Of The Most Amazing Creatures In This Life 
Is 
The Bully! 
You've Met One! 

Bullies Are Mean-Spirited, Vindictive, Cruel Cowards 
Who Extend No Kindness 
But 
Always Desire It! 
How Special! 

Beloved, 

We Should Appreciate Our Dear Savior More 
As The One Whole-Hearted 
When We See The Actions 
And 
Experience The Wrath Of 
One Of Satan's "Favorite" Children Aka Useful Idiots! 
No Apology Is Offered For The Harsh Words! 

Look Upon Jesus Christ
And 
Behold The Mild-Mannered Master
Teacher, Savior
Redeemer, Friend 
Who Gently Calls Us To His Side
No Enticement
No Inducement
No Force
No Fear! 

What Is Amazing About Satan's Bullies 
Is 
That They Strive To Do What Satan Can't! 

Satan Can't Force A Fella To Do Anything! 

Satan Is On A Short Leash 
And 
The Bully Is On A Long Rope! 

Like Any Decent Bully 
Who Will Heel With One Smart Wollop On His Snout 
Or In His Bread-Basket
One Sharp "Thus Saith The Lord!" 
Will Put Satan And His Hench-Persons In Their Place! 

Dear One, 

Never, Ever, Give In To A Bully 
To Get Peace Which He Doesn't Have 
And 
Can't Ever Give! 

Call 1-800-Save-Me-Jesus: 
Pray! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Mercy Is Free For Me And Thee!




How Often Have We Wanted, Needed, Desired Something 
But 
Didn't Receive It 
Because 
We Didn't Choose To Humble Ourselves Enough To Ask For It!?! 

Too Often, I Dare Say! 

Beloved, 

We Are Instructed 
To Approach Boldly The Throne Of Grace That 
We May Obtain The Available Mercy! 

If We Don't Ask For Almighty God's Mercy
Then We Will Not Find His Free-To-All Grace
That Unmerited Favor
The Divine Power To Help Us In Our Time Of Need 
Which Is Every Day That Live And Breathe! 

If You're Proud, Humble Yourself! 

If Your Dumb, Speak In Your Heart
Write A Note
Talk Your Talk To The Lord! 

Remember That We Don't Pray As We Ought To 
So, In Mercy, The Holy Spirit Intercedes For Us 
With Groanings Which Cannot Be Uttered! 

Our Joy 
Is 
To Ask 
And 
Almighty God's Love Always Answers With What Is Best For Us 
And
Delivers More And Better Than We Could Have Ever Asked
Anticipated Or Expected! 

Mercy Is A Truly Beautiful Word, Concept, Construct, That 
We Should Gladly Accept 
And
Generously Apply! 

Mercy: 

Meeting 
Each 
Request With 
Compassion For Every 
Yearning Soul

There Is Forgiveness, Benevolence
And 
Kindness Within The Lord's Mercy 
So Big-Up Yourself By Showing Yourself Small
Helpless, Sinful
Needy
Repentant, Reconciled, Redeemed
Blessed! 

Please Put Arrogance And Pride Out Of Your Heart-House 
And 
Actively Seek Kindness From Jesus Christ The Lord! 

May The Blessings Of The Lord Make You Rich Today 
And 
Forever! 

Peace!

Trusting The Kind, Loving, Master You Cannot See!







If To Be Rich, You Had To Be Kind 
And
To Be Powerful, You Had To Be Poor 
Which Would You Do ... And Why 
And
Why Not The Other!?! 

If To Be Rich And Powerful
You Had To Be Gentle And Generous
Giving And Forgiving
What Would You Do!?! 

If To Enter Into Everlasting Joy
To Have Eternal Peace 
And 
Know Love Forevermore
You Had To Be Always Obedient 
Enduringly Faithful
Grow Where You Are Planted
Trust The Master You Can't See
Walk According To His Will 
On A Way You Can't Fathom
And
Persevere In All Trials 
Even Though Persecuted 
And 
In Constant Pain
Would You Hold On To A Promise That 
Does Not Have A Human Hope Of Fulfillment 
Just Because He Says: 
"Believe And Receive!?!" 

Where Do You Stand On Going Through Dying Hell 
To Get To Living Heaven!?! 

Beloved, 

Pray
And
Reflect On Your Past Journeying 
And
Consider Your Present Walking 
As You Remember Whose Child You Are 
And
Read And Answer The Questions Again! 

You Are Greatly Beloved 
And 
Infinitely Blessed! 

Peace Be Upon You!

Heaven Will Be Worth It All!







Practice Make Practical 
Aka What You Practice 
You Become Efficient At Performing! 

If You Make A Habit Of Being Kind
You Act Kindly! 

If You Practice Cruelty
You Act Cruelly! 

Beloved, 

The Nature ... The Character Of Our Lord Christ
Which He Requires To Be Reproduced In His Children
- The Saints Of God And Christ - 
Demands That We Practice Gentleness, Goodness
Kindness, Temperance Aka Moderation
Love, Justice, Faithfulness, And Truthfulness
And 
Be Giving And Forgiving! 

Is It Going To Be Easy!?! 
No! 

Can It Be Accomplished!?! 
Yes! 

Is It Worth The Effort Required!?! 
Most Certainly! 

Should I Be Willing To Try!?! 
Only You Can Answer That! 
Remember, Though, No Risk ... No Reward!

No Cross ... No Crown!

Is There Help Available!?! 
It's Just A Prayer Away!?! 

But What If There Are Slip-Ups!?! 
He Who Says Do It Is There To Help You Up 
And
Get You Back On Track! 

Dear Ones, 

Acquiring Bad Habits Requires No Effort: 
That's As Water Down The Hill! 

Acquiring Good Habits Requires Time
         Blood
                  Sweat
                           Tears
                                     Prayers
Endurance
         Faith
                 Hope
                          Love
                                  Trust 
And
The Patience Of The Saints 
Who Are Standing Firmly 
On The "Yeah!" And "AMEN!!!" Promises Of 
Their Creator, Savior, Lord, God, Redeemer, King 
And 
Forever Faithful Friend! 

Pray ... Because He Cares! 
Do ... Because It's True! 
Testify ... Because It Edifies!
Praise ... And Be Raised! 

Peace!

THE INWARD LOOK: Spiritual Stock-Taking






What Are You Saying!?! 
Are You Aware Of What It Is That You Are Saying!?! 
Do You Understand That Your Mouth Speaks That 
Which Has Found A Home In Your Heart!?! 

Beloved, 

Be Careful! 

We Should All Be In The Season Of Stock-Taking 
And 
We Seriously Need To Personally Take Stock 
Take Knowledge Of What Things Are In 
The Various Departments Of The Storeroom That 
Is 
Our Heart! 

Where Is Love!?! 
Love For Christ!?! 
Love For Others!?! 

Have You Discarded Hate For Your Fellowman!?! 
Are You Indulging Hatred For Sin!?! 

Are You Cultivating Kindness, Caring
And 
Willing Service!?! 

Have You Discarded Spite, Malice, Greed
And 
Envy!?! 

Is Your Supply Of Saving Truth Daily Growing!?! 

Have You Discarded Lying, Innuendo, Half-Truth 
And 
Raging Deceit!?! 

Have You Ordered An Abundance Of Hope!?! 

Are You Actively Working Faith For Today!?! 

Are You Cultivating Prayer, Gratitude, Thankfulness 
And 
Willing Obedience!?! 

The Inward Look ... 

Please Take A Good Look At Your Heart! 
Open Every Department And Compartment 
And
Get Out The Gospel Hose 
And By Grace
Set The Pressure To New Heart 
And
Do The Necessary 
No Matter How Much It Hurts: 
Jesus Christ Heals Hurts! 

Remember, Remember 
Don't Ever Forget ... 

Wrong Words
Just Like Spent Arrows 
And 
Lost Opportunities
Cannot Be Recalled 
But
You Can Start A New Thought 
And
Have A Godly Conversation 
The Likes Of Which Will Please Our Dear Lord! 

Kind Words Aid Sleep! 

Choose The Peace Of God!

Heap Those Coals Of Fire!








It Is Said That Revenge Upon One's Enemies 
Is 
Best Served Cold 
Aka Unexpectedly 
And 
With Vicious Stopping-Power! 

To Almighty God's Chosen People
The Answer To This 
Is 
"Nuh Uh!" 
"Nope!" 

As Blessed And Highly Favored Children Of 
The Eternal Who Grants Grace And Inhabits Glory
We Are Called To Be Mind-Bogglingly Kind 
To Those Who To Us Are Not Even Close To Being So! 

Oh, The Beauty Of The Unexpected Kindness 
When Your Enemy Needs Help 
And 
You're The Only One Available To Help 
And 
You Actually, Willingly, Graciously
- For The Love Of God - 
Provide That Help With A Tender Look 
And 
A Gentle Touch! 

What Bliss Is Yours To Have And To Hold! 

Remember, Beloved, 

This Is The Way Of The Savior 
And 
If We Desire To See Him In Peace
This Must Be Our Way! 

We Were Once Enemies Of The Almighty 
And 
He, By Jesus Christ The Righteous
Granted Us The Unimaginable Kindness 
... His Life For Yours ... And Mine! 

There's No Repayment Possible: 
Choose, Instead, To Obey His Blessed Call 
To Be Set Apart For Holy Use 
... To Sanctification ... To Perfection! 

Dare To Smile With The Lord 
In The Face Of The Scorn And Abuse Of Your Enemies: 
Chase Away Evil 
With Your Hand Dripping With Goodness That Shines
With The Light Of Love! 

Peace!
