Deserving Is A Two-Footed Beast!

Life Is Interesting Always! 

Sometimes We Get What We Want

Sometimes What We Need 

Sometimes What We Deserve

And 

Sometimes What We Never Expected

Or Thought To Ever Receive! 

Just The Facts ...

Needs Are Never Wants! 

Wants Are Sometimes Needs! 

Deserving 

Is 

A Two-Footed Beast 

Which Shows Up As Just Deserts ... Or Reward

And

Unthought Of 

Is 

Just Because Our Lord God 

Is

Good Always

And

Shows That He Loves Us

And

Desires That Our Faith Be Cemented

Our Trust Anchored 

And 

Our Love Bear Beautiful, Bountiful Blooms Of 

Blessed Increase! 

How Do You Stand!?! 

Where Should You Stand!?! 

Why Are You Standing!?! 

Do You Need To Sit!?! 

Is It Time For Your Bad Attitude To Quit 

And 

For You To Recognize That Fleshly Demise Is Your Domain 

And

Dare Yourself To Submit To The Lord

The Father, The King

The Judge 

And

In His Ways Walk So That 

Choice Blessings You May Rightfully Expect 

And 

Humbly Claim!?! 

Obedience Pays! 

Disobedience Costs! 

Love For Truth Is The Catalyst! 

Faith Makes The Call 

And

Enduring Trust In God, Dear One

Ensures The Heavenly Reward! 

Beloved, 

Let's Commit Our Way To The Only One, Jesus Christ

Who Knows Us Better Than We Know Ourselves 

And 

Is Able To Usher Us Into The Land Called Beulah Aka Beautiful! 

Know Jesus: Know Peace!

Peace Is Free! 

Who You Looking At!?! Who Looking At You!?!

 

We've All Met One Of Them! 

We've Heard The Aggressive: 

"Who You Looking At!?!" 

We've Heard The Calm Response: 

"I'm Looking At You!" 

We've Also Heard The Nasty Riposte: 

"Take A Picture! 

It'll Last Longer!" 

But ...

Has That Dear Soul Asked Themselves 

Why They Were Being Looked At

Or Wondered If The Look Was A Desire 

To Eat Them 

Or To Teach Them ... And Why ... 

Depending On The Desire That 

They Personally Know That 

They Are Causing In Their Watcher!?! 

How Are You Being Watched!?! 

How Are You Being Changed By What You Observe!?! 

How Are Others Being Changed By Looking At You!?! 

Is The Picture That People Are Taking Of You

Worthy Of Being Placed In The Victory Garden

The Hall Of Fame

Or The Dank, Dark, Cellar Of Shame!?! 

How Do You See Yourself!?! 

Is The Picture Clear Or Cloudy!?! 

Is It A Gold Apple In A Silver Frame 

Or A Bright Red, Juicy-Looking Apple That 

Has A Worm In It 

And 

Is Rotten At The Core!?!

 

Are You Fit Or Being Fitted For The Table Of The King 

Or Are You Hog Food!?! 

I'm Asking Myself That Question: 

Will You!?! 

Ask The Hard Question! 

Answer It Honestly! 

Fix The Bad Part! 

Increase The Good Part

And

Dare ... Really Dare

Learn From Our Great Exemplar Jesus Christ: 

The Devil Will Be Withstood! 

Peace With The Lord

Is

Profitable!

LOVE GIFT: Gas-Lighting: Adoration: Appreciation?!

When Someone Gives You

A Gift

Let Some Appreciation Show!

Do Not Be An Ingrate!

They Do Not Owe You Anything!

Your Gratitude Is Their Reward!

Let Them Know! 

* * * * *

She Was So Kind To Me!

I Am Getting Her A Gift To Say "Thanks!" 

Whoo Hoo! 

How Special!

... Give God A Gift, Too!

What Did You Say?! 

I Didn't Stutter! 

I Said You Should Give God A Gift, Too!

He Is Kind To You Every Moment Of 
Every Single Day!

We Give Gifts To Those Who Give Us Gifts

And They Give Us Gifts In Return

And Gifts Given Are Given

Time And Again

With Us Always Expecting 
A Package Bearing Our Names! 

What A Shame! 

There Is Problem With That! 

Actually ... 

It Is Quite Mercenary

For It Is Done With Intent! 

You Give To Get! 

You Live In The Land I-Expect!

Let's Raise Up Our Eyes A Bit!

Let's Think About God For A Minute! 

A Gift From Almighty God Is Not Owed For!

It Is Truly Free! 
That Gift Is Love ... Given

With No Hope Of Repayment

For

It Is A Blessing Received From The Eternal God

Given Graciously For Our Good

For

It Is He Who Created Us

AND

It Is He Who Gives Us Our Necessary Food!

I Agree With You!
We Have Really Bad Attitudes!

If I May Be So Bold
It Is Just Like That Lady

Asking For Advice

That I Read About

Who Is Grossly Offended 

Because Her Husband

INTERRUPTS HER

Twenty Times A Day

To Say To Her:

"I Love You!"

AND

Though Their Relationship Is Considered
Good Cooperative Loving 

Giving Faithful Kindly Helpful
AND

Committed 

She is Concerned That

He May Be Gaslighting Her!

Let's Forget About Her! 

That's Exactly How We Think Of The Living God!

Wait A Minute!

What Is Gaslighting?!

The Five Dollar Interpretation Is:

Manipulating You Into Doubting Your Self

Your Sanity

Your Reality

Aka

Mind Control!

That Is Sick!

God's Love Cannot Ever Do That!

If You Really Want To Get Ridiculous

It Is Actually Man

Gaslighting God

Compliments The Benighted Manipulations Of

Satan The Fraud!

We Try To Remake God Into Our Fallen Image

AND

We Take Almighty God's Gifts For Granted!

We Take The All-knowing God For Granted, Too!

We Take The Ever-Present God's Gifts As Our Due

AND

Often Look At Him Askance

Wondering

Why Is There Only One Gift?!

Only A Small One?!

Where Is The Big(ger)(gest) One?!

Why Is One Not Two And Three?! 

Gratitude Is Always Appreciated

BUT
Not Rumblings Of Discontent

About Gifts Not Good Enough 

Big Enough 

Costly Enough

Powerful Enough 

Fast Enough

Important Enough

Showy Enough!

We Need To Tell Our Jesus:

Lord, 

You Are Blessing Enough And More!

You Are Giving Enough!

I Have Some In Store

For Your Gifts Are Sure!

Please Keep Me Forever Safe

Inside Your House!

You Are The Key To Me!

I Am At Your Door!

Enter My Heart's Door! 

Because ...

If The Lord Had Not Of His Blessings Given Unto Us

Our Lives ... By Now

Will Have Been Truly Spent!

Let's Take A Moment To Say:

Thank You, Lord!

The Gift Is Appreciated!

The Multitudinous Gifts Are Appreciated!

You, Lord

Are Greatly Loved

And

Truly Appreciated!

I Appreciate Your Love!

I Love You!

Help Me To Love You More And More

Even If

No More Of Your Magnificent Gifts

Were For Me

In Store! 

I Am Grateful To You

For Thinking On Me

For Blessing Me With Your Bounty

For The Life To Me Given

That I've Often Carelessly Misspent!

I Love You!

I Give You, Me!

For My Ingratitude

I Sincerely Repent!

I Listening, Lord!

Please Help Me To Really Appreciate

As I Daily Labor

All That You Have Set Before Me

In The Here And Now

And

All That I Read About

In The Living Oracle Of Truth

That I Hope For

And

In The Fullness Of Time

Expect To Gloriously Experience

- The Ultimate In Gift-Receiving -

Home With You

In The Beautiful Land!

In Jesus Christ's Holy Name

I Pray And Humbly Plead!

AMEN.

Give Almighty God 

Some Love Now ... TODAY!
