LOOKING BACK!?! Turn Around, Look Up And Look Forward!!




Look Forward 
Is 
Married To Look Back
And
They Have A Fair Child Called Livvin N. Expectancy
Whose Favorite Thing To Do In This Big Old World
Is 
To Pray By Faith
And 
Watch Daily
- Moment By Moment -
To See What The Dear Lord In Highest Heaven Will Do!

Livvin N. Expectancy Rubs Look Back The Wrong Way!

Look Forward Eagerly Joins Livvin N. Expectancy 
For Prayer And Praise
- Every Morning And Every Night -
And
These Two Rest Peacefully
Enjoying The Sleep Of The Just
While Dear Old Look Back
Is 
Bemoaning Yesterday's Faded Glories
And
Kicking Up Past Failures' Blinding And Choking 
Acrid Fetid Dust!

Regrets: He Has More Than A Few!
Sorrows: Myriad In All Dimensions!
As For Pain And Disappointment
On That Ship
He Is The Indentured Crew!

He Calls Himself A Christian!
He Knows All Of The Good Buzz Words
But
Ask Him About His Connection To The Way Of The Master
And
You May Very Well End Up
Like A Cold-Weather Wind-Blistered
Late-To-The-Annual-Migration
Left-Behind Bird!
You'll Not Be Edified!

Look Forward And Livvin N. Expectation
Willingly Have Their Steps Ordered By The Blessed Lord
And
They Avidly Indulge In Constant Communication
With The Forever Friend
And
They Look Not For Signs And Wonders
To Make Decisions
Or
For Unwitting Errors
To Have To The Good Lord
With Contrite Hearts To Make Amends!

Faith Is First
Is Last
Is Always!

Doubt Is Not Countenanced
Because
Doubt Is Sin
So Doubt Is Out!

These Two Take The Gracious Lord At His Holy Word
Even When Their Carnal Flesh 
Is 
Showing Resistance
And
For Their Faithfulness
Free Grace
- In Their Favor -
Is Bestirred!

Lest You Come To The Conclusion That 
Their Lives Are Picture Pretty 
And 
Positively Perfect
Let It Be Made Known That You'd Be Very Wrong!

They Have Set-Backs
Upsets 
Unexpected Denials 
And
Impossible-To-Plan-For Disasters
But
With Eyes Fixed And Focussed On The Kingdom Prize
They Trust The Lord Jesus
Knowing That The Reward Of Their Faith
- From His Heart -
Will Never Be Cruel Lies!

Trust The Lord! 
Bless The Lord! 
Believe The Lord!
Pray!
Walk In Faith!
Do The Will!
For 1,000 Years In Heaven Stay!


Know This ...

Mercy Is Free!
Obedience Is Cheap!
Grace Is Always Sufficient
And
The Bill For Making It All Available To Us
- To Almighty God -
Was Immensely Heartbreakingly Steep!

Take Time To Look Up ...

If You Are Like Old Look Back
An Attitude Adjustment Is In Order
Because
Wearing The Name Christian Holds No Weight
If
- Against Your Heavenly Record -
There Is No Pearl Gate Designated-Entrance Order!


The Look Back "Solution"
Is
Faith-Polluting
But
The Eye Of Hope
Helps
Committed Christians
With
This Vale Of Tears To Cope!

Jesus Christ Saves!
