Forgive Us, Lord, As We Forgive Others!?!






Everybody Loves The Lord's Prayer
And 
Blithely Repeat It 
Without Pausing To Think About The Words 

"Forgive Us ... As We Forgive ...!" 

We Love To Talk About 
"Do Fuh Do!" 
When We Are The Doer 
And 
Foolishly Forget That 
We Are In Debt To Almighty God
Because 
We Have Trespassed 
Aka Gone Where We Should Not 
Aka Committed Sin Against His Holiness! 

We, All, Are Treading On Dangerous Ground 
When We Pray For Forgiveness 
And
Walk Around Holding Grudges Against People
- Be They Friends, Family Or Foes - 
While Daringly Saying: 
"I Will Never Forgive Them!" 

Beloved, 

Are You The True And Living Holy God Of Grace And Mercy!?! 
Do You Hold Life And Eternity In Your Hand!?! 

If Your Answer Is 
"No!" 
I Beseech Us All To Back-Back To Go Forward! 

The Lord Jesus Christ
Immediately After Teaching His Disciples 
How To Pray 
Then Warned Them Graphically 
About The Content Of Their Prayers 
And 
Their Attitude! 
To Err Is Human: 
To Forgive Is Divine! 

We Who Desire The Lord's Forgiveness 
For Our Sins Against Him 
Must First
Forgive Those 
"Who Done Did Us Wrong!" 

Let Us, Therefore
Be Obedient So That 
We Shall Be Blessed Of Our God! 

By Faith
In Truth
For The Love Of God
Dare To Extend Your Hand In Fellowship
Even If It Figuratively Gets Chopped Off! 

The Lord Of Earth And Glory 
Reads Hearts 
And
He Promises New Life And New Bodies! 
Do Right! 
Eternal Blessings Await The Obedient Enduring Faithful!


Peace
Is
Like The River Glorious!

Attitude Is Everything!







Attitude Is Everything! 
It Determines Our Actions 
And 
Dictates Our Altitude! 

We Can Murmur And Complain 
Or Pray And Plod On! 
We Can Curse The Darkness 
Or Turn To The Light Of Life! 
We Can Embrace Truth 
Or Be Tangled Up With Lies! 

Decisions, Decisions ...

We Have Choices To Make: 
Step Into The Water That Cleanses Us From Sin 
Or Stay In The Desert Of Sin 
And 
Die Of Thirst 
Because 
Walking Against The Driving Sin-Sand Storm 
Is 
Hard 
And 
It Hurts 
And 
It Shows Everybody That You Are Different 
Because 
You Are No Longer Going With The Flow! 

Beloved, 

We Are Soldiers Of The Cross
Children Of The Father
Students In The School Of Jesus
Willing Workers For The King 
And 
We ... In Humility ... In Gratitude For Grace
For The Love That Won't Discard Us 
No Matter How Many Cock-Ups We Have
Must Not Conform To Worldly Norms 
Or Behave Like Step-Children Who Have No Hope Of 
Inheriting The Family Jewels! 

Remember, Remember
Don't Ever Forget ...

There Are No Step-Children
God-Children
Grandchildren
Nor Bastard Children 
In Almighty God's Family! 

You, Me, We, Answered 
And
Are Daily Answering Jesus Christ' Call 
To Our Own Soul's Salvation 
So Let Us Each Dare To 
And 
Live Boldly Like 
The Beloved Child Of The King Of The Universe! 

Down Is Dirt: 
Look Up To Rise Up! 
Boldly Reach For The Son!

Where Our Jesus Christ Is
Is
Our Place Of Peace For Rest!!

CEMENT: Building The Love Relationship Is Everything!



Psalm 16:11 - KJV - Bible verse of the day - DailyVerses.net



"If You Love Me, Keep My Commandments! 
Speak Peace! 
Be Kind To Each Other! 
Give Thanks With A Grateful Heart! 
Diligently Seek Me! 
Open Your Heart To Me! 
Pray Without Ceassing! 
Be Faithful! 
Endure All Things! 
Come Unto Me!" 


The Instructions Are Simple! 
The Instructor Is Loving ... Kind ... Divine! 
The Student ... A Servant
Is 
An Own-Way Child
Mortal ... Corruptible
With A Hill To Climb! 

The Stakes Are High: 
Obey
Endure
Keep Faith At Your Core
Give As You Have Received
Pray
Worship And Adore
Walk Through The Open Door 
And 
Eternity Is Thine! 

Will You Lose Out On Your Heavenly Inheritance 
Because Of 
An "I Can't Be Bothered To ... !" 
A "This Is Who I Am!" 
And 
An "It's All About Me!" Attitude!?! 

Our Heavenly Instructor
Our Father
- Our Forever Friend -
Can Be Hurt 
Just As An Earthly Parent, Child Or Friend Can Be Hurt 
But
Our Bad Behavior Costs Us 
Abiding Love
Heavenly Peace
Life Everlasting ... The Eternal Inheritance! 

Are You Following The Blessed Instructions!?! 

Are You Building The Love Relationship!?! 

Are You Walking Through The Only Door!?! 

Is Cement In Your Love 
Or 
Is Your Love Cement!?! 

Do You Value The Love Or The Loot!?! 
Do You Live In Carnal Lust ... The Lie 
Or
In Eternal Truth ... The Life!?! 

Think About It! 

Jesus Christ's Gift To Us
- The Gift Called Peace - 
Is
Perfect!!

Attitude And Actions!





Our Father Is In Heaven!
Homes Are In His House For Me And For You!

The Lord Is My Shepherd!
I Shall Not Know Want
And That Is The Plain Truth!

The Holy Spirit Is My Comforter!
My Teacher!
My Guide!
And He's There When I Just Can't ...!
For Wrong-Doing, He Does My Spirit Chide!

AND

The Holy Angels Are My Protectors
And My Good Influencers, Too!

BUT

None Of It Is Any Good
Any Benefit
Any Blessing
IF
I Have A Bad Attitude
AND
Choose To Walk Contrary
To The Heavenly Will
AND
Indulge In Actions
That Do Not Cause My Cup Of Blessing
To Overflow
BUT
My Cup Of Iniquity
To Fill!

What's The Big Deal?!
A Cup Is A Cup Is A Cup!

Somehow, Brother
I Fear That You Did Not Get The Bulletin!

What Bulletin Is That?!

The Bulletin In Your Bible
You Know ... The Living Word Of The Almighty God
That Plainly Says:

Thou Preparest A Table Before Me
In The Presence Of My Enemies
Thou Anointest My Head With Oil
My Cup Runneth Over!


THAT, My Friend
Is The Cup Of Blessing!
There Is Abundance And More!

Yes, Yes, Yes!
But What About This Cup Of Iniquity
That You Don't Want Filled Up!
Get To The Point!

Hold Your Horses!
I'm Getting To It!

Wilfully Doing Wrong 
Tells The World
AND
The Holy God 
That You And Jesus Christ Are At A Bearance
That You And THE Commandments Of God 
Do Not At The Present Time
Quite Get Along!

So!?!

Aren't You Afraid Of God's Anger
At Your Wrongdoing?!

Why Should I Be?!
He Has His Laws
AND
I Have My Life! 
I Don't Bother Him
So Why Should He Bother Me?!

Lord, Help Us!
You Can't Be Serious!

He Probably Made Himself!
Satan Real Busy!

Brother Man!
Lemme Holler Atcha!

Okay!
I'm Listening But Make It Snappy!
I've Got Places To Go
And For-Real People To Meet!

I'll Be Blunt, Short, And Nicely Sweet!
You're A Fool ... Per The Biblical Definition
Because 
You Have As Much Said That 
There Is No God
AND THEN
You Behave As Though You Are God
Your Own Sustainer Maintainer
Giving Yourself Breath!

Surprise For You, Though
The Eternal God You Are Slighting Today
Will Be Your Judge Tomorrow
AND
Everything That You Just Willingly
Wittingly
Worldly-Wise
Put Into Your Own Cup 
Is
Going To Testify Before Almighty God
AND
- Truthfully -
Against You!

The God Of Heaven
- Your Creator -
The God Who Gives You Breath
Keeps Very Good Records!
In The Judgment ...! 

... What Judgment?! 

... Your Only Plea Will Be
No Contest! 

I Asked You A Question!
What Judgment?! 

Did No One Tell You
That Jesus Christ
Is 
The Judge Of All Flesh?!

Why Would They
When Everybody Knows That He Is Just A Folk Hero!
A Lovely Myth!
A Great Legend!
A Good Man!
A Poor Man's Panacea!
An Imaginary Friend For Gullible Adults!

Percy, This Is Worst Than We Could Have Imagined!

You Telling Me!

Luke 6:45?!

Yup!

What's Luke 6:45?!




We've Got Our Work Cut Out For Us!

Indeed! Another Brand To Pluck Out Of The Fire!

Yeah!
Another Soul To Save By Installing The Fear Of God
- Godly Fear, That Is - 
In His Heart!

You Up For This?!

In Jesus' Name!

Hello!?!
You Two Moojins Do Know That 
I'm Standing Right Here, Don't You?!

Oh, Yes!
And We Know - Now - That You Are Really Listening!  

Yes, Yes, Yes! I'm Listening
So Cut Out The Crappy Routine
And Tell Me What I Need To Hear
About This Judgment Thing!
Blow My Mind ... If You Can! 

The Cups!
There's The Cup Of Blessing
Cup Of Consolation
Cup Of Salvation 
Cup Of God's Fury
Cup Of The Lord (Lord's Supper) 
Cup Of Devils
Cup Of Astonishment And Desolation
Cup Of Trembling
Cup Of God's Indignation ...

... Don't Forget To Hit 'e Wid Psalm 11:6!

Oh, Yes!
I Almost Forgot That One!




Lord, Help Me!

He Will, Brother!
He Will!

Bro. Harmon, Do You See Anything In These Various Cups
That You Would Seriously Want To Avoid?!

Personally, Bro. Dockey
If I Were In Master Persevis' Shoes
I Would Seek Fervently To Avoid
The Cups Called Astonishment And Desolation
Devils
Fury Indignation
AND
Wrath!
Their Ain't Nothing In Them That's  Desirable
From The Perspective Of A Child Of God ...!

... He Ain't A Child Of God!
He Does Not Believe The Living Word! 
He Considers God A Fable!
He Runs Fast And Loose
With The Wild Goat Herd!

I Don't Run With Any Wild Goat Herd! 
I Don't Even Like Goats Wild Or Otherwise!

That Is Euphemism For Running With Satan And His Demons
And Wilfully Sinful Men
Who Deny God  ... As You Do!

Oh.

You Know, Dockey
If I Were In His Shoes
Facing Pure Hell And Sure Damnation
By His Own Hand ...!

... What Hand?!
I Didn't Write Anything!

Oh, Dear, Percival!
He Doesn't Know About The Recording Angel!

His Spiritual Education Has Gaping Holes!

That Is Sad!
Truly, Truly, Sad!

'Tis True
But He Is Still Here
AND
There Is Still Hope For Him
So Let's Not Dwell On Yesterday! 
Let's Look At His Future
When He Changes His Ways!

I Agree!
When He Changes His Way
And Jesus Christ Is His Lord
He Will Have The Cup Of Blessing
Because He Is The Obedient Child Of The Living God! 

Indeed!
The Cup Of Salvation Is Then His
For He Walks Holy With The Holy God
And
The Cup Of Consolation Is His
Because
Heavenly Comfort Comes To Him
As The Perk Of
The Personal Relationship
He Has With His Savior Lord And God
AND
By His Newfound Faith
In The Eternal
He Will Partake The Lord's Cup
And Not Unworthily
For He Will Have Washed His Clothing
In The Blood Of The Lamb
And Is Living The Life Called Godly!

We Should Tell Him About The Cup Of Devils
- The Opposite Of The Lord's Cup -
Which Seeks To Feed Men On Sin And Error
And To Lead Them Astray!

Let's Leave THAT Can Of P"s For Another Day
For When He Knows The True God
AND
The Living God's Truth
AND
The Holy God's Ways So Well
That Recognizing That Counterfeit
Will Have Him Saying With Alacrity:

Satan Sin And Unrepentant Sinners
Are Assuredly Bound For Hell!

That Will Be Swell!
Let Us On The Righteous Judge
The King Of Love
The God Of Creation 
Fixedly Dwell!

It's Time In This Dear Man's Life
To Give To Satan
The Death Knell!  

Dear Lord,
Guide Us Into Your Truth
And
Bless This Seeking Soul
With All Understanding
According To Your Will
In Jesus' Name!
AMEN.
