NEED Versus WANT: Christ And Chocolate

 





If We Don't Call Upon The Lord By Praying
He Cannot Answer Us! 

If We Do Not Ask For Forgiveness For Known Sin By Confession 
And
Repentance
The Lord ... God Almighty ... Cannot Forgive Us Our Sins 
And 
Cleanse Us From All Of Our Known Acts Of Unrighteousness! 

The Lord Instructs Us To Ask Of Him 
To Receive From Him: 
Don't Be Proud And Foolish! 

Beloved, 

Today Is The Day Of Salvation 
And
Salvation Is For Us Who Know 
And 
Readily Acknowledge That 
We Are Sinners Needing Saving: 
Never Mix Up Your Needs For Your Wants! 

Know The Right ...

We Need Christ! 
We Want Chocolate! 

We Need Faith And Forgiveness! 
We Want Fame And Fortune! 

We Need To Speak Truth And Exhibit Trust! 
We Want Toys And Trinkets! 

Brethren, Beloved, 

The Lord Desires Us To Come Home To Him
 By Walking In The Light 
And 
Doing The Good 
And  
The Right
Because
It Is Right! 

Let Us, Therefore, Rejoice That Our Jesus Christ 
Is 
King Forever 
And 
Dare To Trust The Living Word 
And 
Fall Upon The Mercy That Is Offered To Us Free 

And 

Bask In The Grace, Freely Given, That 
Is 
Available, Sufficient 
And 
Enough ... Today
For All Of Our Needs! 

Let's Take All That Concerns Us To Our Blessed Lord Jesus
In Heartfelt Prayer
In Faith
For Love 
With Hope:
Remember To Give Him Your Thanks And Praise As Well! 

Peace
Is Not
A Merchantable Commodity!
Peace
Is
The Free Gift
Known Freely-Given To Us
By
Shiloh, The Prince Of Peace
The Light Of The World
The Certain Hope
Of
Every Man, Woman And Child!

  1. Help Me, Dear Father, To Hunger And Thirst After Your Righteousness, And To Be Faithful And Enduringly Obedient Despite What The Faithless Doubters Do And The Unbelieving Naysayers Say!
