Ecclesiastes 10:8 KJV
... Whoso breaketh an hedge, a serpent shall bite him.
Do You!?!
We Do!
We Say That We Love The Lord Jesus
So I Am Going To Boldly Ask
"Why!?!
What For!?!
To What End!?!"
We Can Both Say It Is Because He First Loved Us
And
Out Of Reciprocal Obligation
We Have To Love Him Back
Because
It Is The Only Way To Get Into Our Father's House
Aka The Mansions Of The Forever Blessed!
Brethren,
Is That Enough, Sufficient, Or Good Enough!?!
Beloved,
Let Us Take Thought
And
Break This Love Business, Love Affair, Love Pact Down!
Neither Of Us Could Or Would
Truly Love Someone Who Acts Entitled
Nor Would Or Could Anyone Love Us
If We Wore Entitled Man's Attire And Attitude!
Now, Beloved,
Besides The Already Stated Obvious Reason
For Loving The Lord
I Love The Lord Because His Word Is Bond
Be They Blessings Or Cursings
To Include Loving Warnings And Gentle Corrections:
His Delivery Service Unremittingly Works!
Brethren,
To Make This Personal
When My Son Was Growing Up And Under My Control
I Had One Hard And Fast Rule:
If I Promised Him A Gift Or A Treat
I Delivered The Gift Or Treat, No Excuses!
Conversely, If I Promised A Previously Advertised Punishment
For Known Unacceptable Behavior
Which Had Previously Been Warned Against And Corrected
I Delivered That Punishment As Warranted, No Exceptions!
My Son Understood The Brief
Because
I Did Not Send Mixed Aka Muddled Signals!
My Follow-Up And My Follow-Through Were A Given!
Brethren,
Our Blessed Jesus Gave Us Rules To Live And Love By
And
He Was, Is, Abundantly Clear
About The Costs Incurred And Benefits Provided
For Doing, Or Ignoring Aka Rejecting His Word
His Will For Our Lives!
Dear Ones,
The One Thing That
We May All Rest Easy About Is This Fact:
"The Lord, The Same Yesterday, Today And Forever!"
The Lord Does Not Turn On
And
Leave On
An Emergency Light In Our Lives Where None Exists
As This Would Give Us Carte Blanche
To Ignore His Command
Even When A Real Emergency Occurs
Which Would Be, Which Is, To Our Eternal Detriment!
Great Is Our Lord's Love And Faithfulness To Us!
Let Us, From This Moment On
Love Him By Our Willing And Unwavering Obedience
By Keeping His Commandments Which Are Not Burdensome!
Beloved,
The Way Of The Lord ... The Commandments Of The Lord
Is Not
An Hedge Of Thorns
So Do Not Fear To Obey Him!
Be Not Slothful!
Peace!
