HAPPY SABBATH + Dare To Testify Of Almighty God's Amazing Grace!




Image result for happy sabbath blessing


... But When I Came To Christ Jesus
I Still Held On To Sorrow And Hurt ... Like A Crutch
And
He, Speaking Softly And Tenderly Asked:


I Have Need!
Will You Give That To Me!?!


I Was Stunned, Amazed
Fearful Even
But
I Saw The Love In His Heart In His Eyes
And
Heavenly Light Shone On Me
And
I Recognized That His Love For Me
Made Sin, Self, Sorrow, Pain, Shame, Hurt
Recognizable As The Thing ... The Crutch
That Was Preventing Me
Preventing My Desire For Him From Rising
And
I Said: 


Yes, Lord!


He Said: 


Give It To Me
And
You'll Have Something Much Better
To Replace It!

I Didn't Even Think To Ask 
What It Is That He Is Going To Give Me!
I Just Simply, Forcefully, Said:


Yes, Lord!
You May Have It!



He Smiled At Me So Joyfully
And
I, Relieved Of My Burden
Cried Happily:


I'm Free! I'm Free!
Your Love Lifted Me!

I Feel ... I Know ...  I Am So Happy!

He Said Gently:


Happiness Is To Know Your Savior!



My Heart Said:


Happiness Is ... The Lord!



Having Relieved Myself Of My Burden
By Releasing It To My Lord
I Walk The World A New Person
Disconnected From Satan The God-Fraud
Who Couldn't Make Me Do Anything
But
Who Would By Deft Insinuation
Cause Me To Think In Avenues 
Guaranteed Not To Satisfy
And
To Unconsciously, Unwisely, Cherish Doubt
And
To Walk In Ways That 
Did Not The Lord Of Life Glorify!

Let There Be Praise ...

Those Days Are Done: I Trust The Lord!
I Know The Truth For This Age!
The World's Great Wits Are No More My Sage!
I Look At And Choose To Live In The Good Book!
I Act Upon A "Thus Saith The Lord!"
I Repair To My Master
My Lord And My God
And
Glory Be To The Father
The Son
The Holy Spirit
With Jesus Christ The Righteous  
Nothing Is Impossible
And
With Jesus Christ As King Of My Life
Eternity Is My Time
And 
My Time In Eternity Has No Limit!

What A Wonderful Change Was Wrought
Because
I Stopped Looking In At Self
And
Started Looking Up To The Creator Of
Heaven And Earth
The Seas And The Fountains Of Water
The Visible And The Invisible World
And
Ceased From Walking Wild And Willfully
With The Heading-For-Damnation
Wild Goat Herd!

The Lord Handed Me A Lamp
Which Gives Me Light To Light My Life
To Mark And Make The Way To Truth Plain
To Plainly Speak Righteousness
So That I Do Not Indulge In Things Profane
Profaning His Name
And
Causing Him Unnecessary Pain!
By His Great Grace
I Will Not Crucify Him Again!

I Trust The Lord God Almighty
Just And True
Giving And Forgiving
Blessing And Revealing
Providing And Chiding
Leading And Feeding!
I Am A Blessed Child Of The Eternal King!
I Have A Song Of Praise To Sing To Him!

Believe Me When I Tell You Plain:


Jesus Christ Utterly Saves

So Choose To Be Grateful And Thankful
For Free Mercy
And
Available Grace
That Has No After-Taste!
Only Jesus Christ
Can Cause A Repentant Sinner
To Win In The To-Eternal-Life Race!
Trust Him Implicity
Even If You Can't
His Hand Of Help Trace!

 Brethren,

Please Remember, Remember
And
Don't Ever Forget That
There Is Nothing That We Can Do 
That We Can Do Without Jesus Christ The Lord! 
There Is No Place That The Lord Can Bring Us To 
That He Cannot Carry Us Through
And
There Is No Hurt Or Sorrow That He Cannot Heal! 

His Grace Is Sufficient
And 
His Mercies Are Never Stale 
Because 
They Are Ever New 
Fresh From Heaven's "Bakery!" 
Jesus Christ's Love For Us Will Never Fail!

Please Give Thanks To Our God With A Grateful Heart! 
He Loves You: Love Him Fearlessly! 
He Is Our Only Peace!
His Love For Us Will Never Cease!

HAPPY SABBATH + Where Is The Everyday Thanks?!












Confession
Is Good For The Soul!

Unrepentance
Makes The Sinner Most Bold!

Comeuppance
Has For Herself A Lofty Place

AND

Life
Has An Uncanny Knack
For Dealing Disgrace 
To Those With Pride
Sowed
In Their Heart
And
Marked
On Their Face!


Food Shelter
Clothing Peace
Happy Children Health
License Land Lease
Work Water
No Sorrow To Bear!
Walks Through Willfulness!
Of Pettiness
AND
Foolishness
I Even Had A Substantial Share!

Thoughtlessness
Stinginess
Wildness
Waywardness
Faultlessness
Of Recklessness
I Can Tell You
I Spared Not A Tear!

You Could Have Been Dead!

Dead?! Me?!
You Must Be Kidding!
The World Was My Oyster!
My Life Was My Pearl
AND
I Wore It On A Gold Chain
AND
I Treated The Living God
As One Does A Churl!

But ...

The Day Came ...

...  And Someone Said:


It Would Be Better 

If People Would Try To Give God "Thanks!" 
On A Daily Basis 
Rather Than Waiting 
Until There Is Food Involved!

And Then ...

Contrary 
To My Perfect Conception Of My Life 
Comeuppance Was Glorified ...!

And I ...!

You Should Have Heard Me Praying:


Dear Lord,
Let Me Give You
Thanks And Praise Today
For I Don't Have Tomorrow
Far Less Next Week!
I Don't Know 
How The Tide Of My Life Will Turn
Or That I Will Be Able To Utter 
Even A Tired Mouse Squeak!

Father, My Heart In Me Burns!
Forgive Me For Taking The Life You Gave
And Doing As I Well Pleased!
Forgive Me For Eating My Daily Bread
Without Feeling The Desire To Say In Gratitude:
Thank You, Lord, For Filling My Need!

Lord,
I Have Been A Total Ingrate
Taking Your Bounty For Granted As I Overfilled
My Overflowing Plate!
Please
Accept My Contrite Heart's Apology!
Please Forgive My Descent Into The Realm Of Satan
That Greedy Reprobate
And Help Me To Walk
According To Your Calling
And Doing It Now
Rather Than When It Is Too Late
And
I Am Forced To Say:
Lord, Please Save Me Now!

Thank You For The Tears That Flow!
Thank You For The Grace You Bestow!
Thank You For The Mercies
Seen And Unseen
Known And Unknown
Unexpected And Unappreciated
And
Thank You For Christ's Sacrifice
That Makes This Wretch
By Confession
And Repentance
Forgiven
And
Clean!


It Is Good To Give A Gift 
Of Heartfelt Thanks
And Glorious Praise 
Unto Our Almighty God!
Amen!


Indeed!
Let Us, In Heartfelt Appreciation
- Today And Every Day -
Thoughtfully Say To Him 
Who Daily Provides:



"Father,
I Give Unto You My Heartfelt Thanks 
For All My Blessings
Even Though Your Giving
Is Not Dependent Upon My Thanks!"
