Note To Self:
Ask The Lord To Help Me To Raise Up My Standards
And
Lift Up My Eyes From Seeing Dirt
So That I Will Stop Asking Him, My King And My God
For Gifts That Are Not Good For Me
Nor For Privileges That, With The Passage Of Time
Will See Me Turning Away From The Land Of Love And Light
To Head Toward Me, My, Mine, Myself,
And
Misery!
Beloved,
When The Lord Says "No!"
It Is Because He Knows You
And
He Can See The End Aka Your End
From Your Beginning!
When The Lord Say "Yes!"
It Is Because That Blessed "Yes!"
Will Bless You Bountifully!
When The Lord Says "Wait!"
It Means Not Now
Because
Later Aka That Profitable Wait
Will Be Much Better For You!
When The Lord Of Love Says "Don't Ask Again!"
It Means Walk With Him Humbly
Patiently, Enduringly
Because
His Grace ... His Favor Which You Can't Buy
Is
Sufficient And Enough For You:
Trust Him!
Whether We Receive The Good Gift Today
Or Ten Years Down The Road
The Good Gift Remains The Good Gift
Because
It Is The Gift Of The Living, Holy, Ever-Faithful
Almighty God Of Grace And Glory!
Our Father Who Is In Highest Heaven
Is
The Lord Most High
Giving And Forgiving
Who Personally Loves You Intimately!
I Beseech Us All To Keep In Mind That
Saying "Thank You!" For The Good Gift Received
By The Lord Of Life's Schedule
Is
Always Preferable To Having To Ask For Forgiveness
Because
The Lord's Perfectly Timed Schedule
And
Our Haphazard All-About-Me Agenda
Violently Collided!
To Willingly Obey
Is
Always Better Than Forced Sacrifice
And
Sacrificing Sinful Self
Is
Most Assuredly Always Better Than
Sacrificing Soul Salvation!
Almighty God's Good Gifts Are Glorious!
Peace!
Heavenly Father, Please Help Me To Moment-By-Moment Remember Whose Child I Am And Bless Me To Walk Softly And In Humility Before You Always: I Crave Your Bountiful Blessings!
