Realization + PRAYER: I Desire You, Lord!

I Believed The Word
But Not Wholly!

I Saw The Truth
But Not Clearly!

I Had Faith
But Not Completely!

I Knew Love
But Not Entirely!

I Lived For The Lord
But Not With Fidelity!

I Prayed With Fervor
But Not With Hope!

I Prayed For Mercy
But Denied Grace!

I Lived By Grace
But Ignored Salvation!

I Expected Salvation
But Played With Damnation!

I Damned Devotion In Others
But Craved It For Myself!

I Was A Bundle Of Contradictions

Until Jesus ...

Until King Jesus Found Me
AND
In His Timeless Forward-Looking Glass
Showed Me The Life Brand New
The Life Where Right Is Ever Right
AND
New Life Is Always New
Where Water Of Life Is Abundant
Where Sense Is Ever True
Where Sensation Is The Thing Holy
Where Vision Has No Rear View
Where Walking With A Friend Is Just That
Where Thoughts And Actions Comport
Where There Are No Transactions

Where Sight Is Singular
Ever Beholding The Great God
Who Presently Gives Men
Of His Faith
A Daily Share
Where Singing To The King
Is Grandly Energizing
AND

Self Is Unknown
For The Soul For God
Is At Home
AND

Alone
Is A Thing Assuredly
Not Known

AND

There Is No Smells Of A Corrupt And Vile Goat!

PRAYER:

Lord,

Haste The Day

For

I Desire You

And To See You

And To Touch

To Hold

That Hand

That Touches My Heart!

I Desire To Kiss The Hand

That So Gently Cradled

Cradles

Caresses

My Head!

The Hand That Ensures That Daily

I Am Blessed And Fed!

Oh, Marvelous Grace!

Oh, Redeeming Love!

Oh, Love That Will Not Let Me Go

I Stand A Frail Human

But Trust In Your Strength For

Salvation For My Needing-You Soul!

Heaven At The Last Is My Goal

So, Please, Lord

Keep Me Safe In The Obedient-sheep Fold!

Father,

Please Remember The Brethren Near And Far

That People Of God

Walking Towards The Door Of Salvation

Now Currently Ajar!

Open Their Eyes, Lord!

Unstop Their Ears

And

Grant Them New Hearts Of Flesh

So That In The Little Time

Of Jacob's Trouble

Satan And His Minions

Cannot Make Them Bow To The Idol

And Sin

From Fear!

Please Remember Those

Who Are Currently Working

For The Salvation Of Souls

And

Those Who Are Awaiting Their Call To Duty! 

Bless Them, Lord

According To Your Will

And Ever Always According To Your Way

And Grant Them Utterance

To Preach And Teach

The Unadulterated Truth

- In And Out Of Season -

To The Little Ones, The Old And The Youth!

Grant Us Your Grace, Lord

To Keep Jesus Christ's Faith

Is My Humble Plea

And

I Ask All In In That Worthy Name!

AMEN.
