Of Sorrow ... And Sirens! + PRAYER: Lord, Please Hearken Unto My Cry!





Sorrow Shouts For Sirens!
Sirens Shout Of Sorrow!
Sirens Remind Us Of What Sorrow Is
What Sorrow Can Do
When One Hears Sirens Making
A To-Do!

Sirens Send A Thrill Of Dread
Through The Heart Of Man
Evoking That Feeling Of Sorrow That Comes Of
A Woman Child Man
Mother Father
Son Daughter
Brother Sister
Neighbor Friend
Needing A Helping Hand!

Sirens Are A Sign Of Hope ... Held
Not Yet Dashed To The Floor!
Hope
That The Living God
The Great Physician
Will, To Us
Our Loved One
Mercifully Restore!

Sorrow ... Never Wanted
- Impossible To Ignore -
Once Felt
Changes One Forever
AND
Is One Gift ...!

... Now I Know For Certain Sure
That You Have Lost Your Tiny Mind!
Nobody With A Full Bag A Marbles
And All Their Screws Tightened
Their Elevator Going To The Top Floor
Their Feet Planted 'Pon Terra Firma
Will Call Sorrow A Gift!

You Poor Thing!

Excuse Me?!

You're Not Excused!
I Feel Great Sorrow Over Your Lack
Your Very Obvious Lack Of Knowledge
As Regards Sorrow
- The Great Gift Of Sorrow -
To The Human Soul!

You're Drunk!

As Per Usual
You're Wrong!
I'm As Sober As The Arched Tail Of A Skunk!

I Read My Bible
AND
I Believe Every Single Word
AND
I Know, Personally
That My Having Sorrow
For My Known Sin
Is What Paid My Membership Cancellation Fee
To Get Out Of The Damned-Goat Herd!

I Know That It Is The Man Of Sorrow
Well Acquainted With Grief
Whose Innocent Blood
Purchased My Pardon Before The Holy God
So That I Don't Have To Experience
The Reward Of The G. O. A. T Fraud!

I Know That Sorrow Gives Sight
AND
Procures For Us, Insight
Helps Us To Identify Our True Condition
- Our Precarious Position -
AND
Encourages Our Call
To Fall
Upon The Free Grace
- The Unmerited Favor -
The Always New Mercies Of
The Great Physician
Our Creator
Our Savior
Our Hope
Our Help
The Eternal Holy God!

There Are Big Questions ...

Who Desires To Possess His Own Soul?!
Who Will Walk Forever In The Heavenly Land?!

Here Is The Big Answer ...

Only Those Who Share In The Sorrow Of The Suffering Servant!

Tell Him About The Whore!

What Whore!?!

He Is Speaking Of The Whore Of Babylon
Who Boldly Sits A Queen
Swearing
That She Will Know No ... Sorrow!

I Know That Story
And I Know That God Is Going To Destroy Her
Because She Is Drunk With The Blood Of Saints And Prophets
And Has Committed Spiritual Fornication
Against The Holy God
AND 
Also Zealously Blasphemes Almighty God's Name ...!

... Wait A Minute ...!
... Wait A Minute!!

Baje?!

Yes, Jamaikie?!

Please Lend Ossie Your Bible!

Will Do!

The Sorrowful Spirit Pours Out Its Soul
Before God : Hannah Petitioned Her God
The Holy God
For Her Future Son, Samuel!




I Disagree That Sorrow Is A Blessing:




Sorrow Is A Curse!

Sorrow Is The Result OF The Curse
AND ISTurned
Turned Into A Blessing
WHEN
In The Sorrow Of Our Afflicted Souls
We RETURN To The Holy God
Repentant
Seeking Solace
Seeking Salvation
Seeking Shelter
Seeking Relief
AND
Release!

Jesus Christ Saves The Sinner Who In Sorrow
- For Known Sin -
Takes Hold Upon The Sure Mercies Of The Lord
AND
Lays His Burden Down
At The Feet Of Jesus!

You Want To Get To Heaven, Right?!

Right!

Are You Sorry For Your Sin?!

Of Course!

Then Use Your Gift Of Sorrow
To Repent To The Father God
In The Name Of Christ Jesus!

You Ain't Getting Into Heaven Without It!

No Sorrow FOR Sin
Means
No Salvation FROM Sin!

Look Up Jeremiah 31:25
God Replenishes The Sorrowful Soul!

Man, Stop Playing Wid 'e!
Hit De Nail In A Sure Place!

 Very Well, Brother Barney!



I Rest My Case!

So Why Didn't You Just Say So In The First Place!

You Weren't Ready To Hear It!
We Had To Give You
The Preponderance Of The Evidence, Right Sarge!

Indeed!

PRAYER:

Father,
My Heart Is Sorry
Very Sorry For Known Sin
And
In Deepest Sorrow
I Bid You 
Please Clean Out
The Consuming Darkness Within!

I Am A Child
A Willing Servant
And
I Desire Always To Walk In Right Ways
And
I Beseech You
In The Name Of King Jesus
To Bless Me To Do Right
In Your Holy Sight
Until The End Of My Days!

I Love You, Lord!
Please Hearken Unto My Cry
And
Do For Me
What Only The Holy God Can Do!
AMEN.

Why me? and Rescue Workers!


Hello, Again, Dear Friends!

     I hope all is well with you and yours!

    I have a question. How often have you heard sirens passing around your home, or place of work, or when you were out shopping, and it never dawned on you to think of the rescue workers as those who are in need of our prayers?

     Well, there was a time when I heard sirens going by, that they were just that. Sirens going by.

     It was like that for me until just over a year ago when it suddenly entered my consciousness that those sirens were on vehicles carrying sons, daughters, husbands, wives, fathers and mothers, and it gave me pause.

     Now, whenever I hear a siren, I find myself praying for these men and women in the rescue services and, today, I am sharing one of those prayers with you all.

     And then, there is the poem, I Never Asked: Why ME!?  which came about as a result of all the times I wanted to know why me? when things were not going so well, but NEVER when things were going swimmingly. It surely made me think!

     I hope you enjoy these new offering and, don't forget to share them!

Be well, and be gloriously blessed,

BJC
