THE GLORY OF LIFE: I Believe HIM!

The Lord Is My Shepherd!
He Walks In Front
And 
Being Wise Unto Salvation
I Gladly Follow On Behind!

He Leads Me To Green Pastures
Where Food Suitable
Is 
Found For Me And My Kind!

He Leads Me To Still And Known Sweet Waters
Where My Known Sinful Soul 
Is 
Cleansed 
And
My Thirst Quenched!

He Spreads A Sumptuously Laden Table Before Me
Which My Enemies Look Upon Truly Amazed! 

My Head, Weary, He Anoints With Holy Oil
And
I Am No Longer Of The World Afraid!

He Leads Me In The Paths Of Right Thinking
And 
Right Doing
And 
It Is For His Holy Name's Sake!
All Glory, Praise And Honor
Are His ... Alone!

He Gives Me A Cup
- My Personal Cup Of Blessing -
Which He Causes To Overflow
And
- No Surprise -
If The Valley Of The Shadow Of Death 
I Must Pass Through
I Go There Unafraid
And 
With The Prior Knowledge
That He Conquered Death
And 
Will Come For Me
When The Last Trumpet Does Blow!

The Fact Of The Matter 
Is
That Goodness And Mercy Shall Follow Me
All The Days Of My Life
Because
I Have - And Daily Utilize - 
His Gift To Me Of His Holy Faith
And
I Have Placed My Complete Trust In Him!

He Is Not A Man 
And 
He Cannot Lie!

He Has Promised Me A Home
- A Forever Home With Him -
In The Father's House
And
Based On Personal Experience
And
Public Knowledge
I Believe Him!

I Do Not Walk Alone
And
I Will Not
- By His Great Grace -
Look Back Toward Sin
Doubt His Word
Go After What Is Not Bread
Deny His Sovereignty Over My Life
Nor Turn Again To Fables!

He Died For Me
And, So
I Choose To Live ... For Him!

The Lord Is My Shepherd
And
For That Which 
Is 
For My Good
And
For His Glory
I Shall Not Know Want!

Let His Great Name Be Praised! 

His Name Is Jesus Christ The Righteous
Shiloh, The Prince Of Peace
The King Of Glory
And
He Is Mine!
The Father
His Father
- Our Father - 
The Ancient Of Days Gave Him To Me
And
I Am Blessed!

LIFE SWAPS: The Discomfort Of The Truth!





Reggie,
How Do You Counteract
The Comfort Of A Lie?

With The Discomfort Of The Truth!

I Like That!
It Sounds So Simple!

Wait Up!
There's More!
I Can Feel A Speech
Breaking Out Of The Door!

(Distinct Throat Clearing Follows)

And Then Sallies Forth ...

Plant The Truth
In The Disrupted Soil Of The Mind
AND
One Cannot Unhear The Truth Spoken 
By Him Who Is Divine!

Man May Reside In Denial
BUT
He's Just A Visitor There!
Reality Is His Homeland
AND
God's Truth Is Present There!

The Comfort Of A Lie
Causes
Calluses In The Mind
While Putting Brambles In Your Britches
AND
Jello
Where Your Spine Should Reside
AND
Under Your Behind!

The Result
Is A Bloody Mess
Tortured
Tempted
Benighted In Mind
Wrestling
With Its Own Shadow
Afraid
Unwilling To Approach The One
Who Alone Can 
To The Hurting
Tortured Soul
Be Lovingly Kind!

Truth
Is Not Like Dirt Which
If It Falls On One
Will Kill!
Truth Falls
Upon A Hearing Ear
Giving The Callused Mind
An Unexpected Unknown 
Known Thrill!

Truth
Is In Our Inward Parts
Put There By Him Who Made Us
So That
We Are Without Excuse
AND
This Is Why
Hearing The Truth Makes Men Mighty Mad
Since
The Revealed Truth
Ensures
That They (We) Can Never Say:

I Did Not Know That
Wrong-Doing Is Bad!

No Matter 
Their Lying 
Coughed-Up Excuse!

He Who Gave Us His Truth
IS
Himself 
Truth True
AND
He Is Able To Forgive Our Sin
By Brooking No Compromise
Of The Truth
Given To Me
AND
To You!

Truth Needs No Polish!
Truth Has No Color!
AND
Truth Has No Truck With Spin!
Truth Is The Truth! - Handle It!
Dump The Boss Liar Satan
AND
Go To Jesus Christ
For
Your Always Available Win!

A Half Truth Is A Black Lie
Covered In White Paint!
                A Technical Truth Is An Economical Lie!
                              An Alternative Truth Is A Lie With A Law Degree
                              Changeable As The Wind
                              Free-Wheeling As The Fly!
AND
                                          A Spun Truth Is An Unraveling Lie!

When A Liar
Tells A Lie 
Not To Hear The Truth
You Know That That Lie-Teller 
Is A True-True Liar
AND
His Squeeze-Him-Tight Pants
Will Surely 
Catch On Fire!

Lesson Taught?!

Lesson Learned!

Let's All Make The Change
AND
Save Ourselves Some Pain!
Let's All Ditch The Lie
AND
Do The Death-To-Life Exchange!
