VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Encumbering The Ground!? + PRAYER: Lord, Please Do Not Cast Me Out!

I Came Upon A Tree One Day
In The Beautiful Garden Of God!
It Was Lush And Large
For It Had Been There For A Great While
AND
I Thought To Linger There
To Contemplate The Word
AND
To Pray To The Living God
The One Who Gave Me My Smile!

I Sat Contented
BUT THENI Noted Something Strange!
All The Other Trees Bore Fruit
Save The One Under Which I Sat
AND
Truth Be Told
That Made Me Rock Back ...!

An Unfruitful Tree?!

In The Garden Of God?!

That Is An Impossibility! 

Could This Be

An Encumberer Of The Ground?!

I Got Up From There Quickly
All The While Talking With The Lord
Within Myself
AND
Trusting The Word Of The Living Book Of Life
Took Thought Of What I
- For The Kingdom -
Was Doing Myself
To Redeem The Time
AND
Recognize That The Days Were Evil
AND
That I Worked For The Divine!

I Was Pulled Up
- Real Short -
By A Sharp Jabbing Pain
That Afflicted My Heart
AND
Made Me In Exclamation

Pray:

Father,

Forgive Me!

Please Give Me Another Chance!

Please Till My Soil

And Manure Me

And

Let Me ... Cherished

Grow In Grace

Just For A Little While

So That In The Harvest

I Shall Bear Good Fruit

Perhaps 30 Fold

60 

Even 100 Fold! 

You, Lord

Know The Truth!

I Am Willing - Work On Me! 

I Am Willing - Pass Me The Crucible Through! 

Keep Me Faithful - I Am Pleading! 

Bless Me, Lord God Almighty

So That I May Bless The Living Kingdom

By Laboring To Bless Others

And

Bless You!

Forgive Me, Lord

For Celebrating

All The Wrong That I Did Not Commit

All The While As I Was Neglecting

Doing The Good Required Of Me - 

I Should Have Been Laboring

As One Truly Faithful

Provisioned By Your Grace!

Please, Lord

Do Not Dismiss Me

Casting Me Out

As An Emcumberer Of The Ground! 

Please Fit Me For Your Service

For

I Desire In The Living Kingdom

To Be Found!

I Love You, Lord!

I Need You!

I Seek You, Lord

In Godly Fear!

I Desire To Be Your Fruitful Tree

So

Prepare My Heart, Lord

For

For Your Faithful People

I Do Dearly Care!

I Yield Myself, Lord

 To Your Heavenly Care!

The Heavenly Gardener
Turned The Sod At My Feet!
The Son Shone Light In My Heart!
The Holy Spirit Rained Down Upon Me

AND
The Angels Kept The Sin-Bugs Away
AND
Soon

Soon I Knew
That In Me
There Was Good Fruit A-Growing
For
I Could Feel Those Blossoms Poking Through!

Ouch!            Ouch!            Oww!

Time Flies ...

The Day Of Harvest
Is Mere Moments Away
AND
Only Then Will I Know
My Tally Of Production
BUT
Whatever It Is
Of A Surety I Know
That I Am Not A Tree
Marked
For Damnation's Destruction!

Take Heed To Yourselves
All Ye That Are Trees
In The Beautiful Garden Of God!
God Almighty Expects A Good Harvest
From One And From All
AND
It Is He That Knows Of Each Tree The Amount
So

Heed The Call

ANDDo Your Duty

AND
Bear Good Fruit
AND
Leave It To The Living God
To Declare In The Harvest Celebration
Your Just 

AND

True 

Good Produce Count!

Get Your Strength

From

Jesus Christ

The One Righteous

The Blessed Blessing Fount!
