VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: True Beauty!

KJV Psalms 49:20

20 Man that is in honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts that perish.

Beauty ... Exposed A Beast! 

The Beauty Of That Beast Called Lucifer, Renamed Satan

Wrought Pain For Me And Thee! 

To Rid Me And My Kind Of The Pain That Is Sin 

Which Causes Death And Ultimately Damnation

The Truly Beautiful Savior ... The Eternal God

Took Our Sin, Our Pain

Our Death

Our Damnation Into Himself

And 

Gave Us His Ineffaceable, Ineffable

Fadeless, Immortal, Incorruptible Beauty 

... If ... We Would But Ask 

Because 

It Is Free! 

Our Savior's Pain Purchased For Me, For You

For Us All Willing

True Beauty

The Kind Of Beauty Which Is Righteous

Holy, Grace-Filled 

And 

Comes Of Obtained Mercy 

Which Welcomes Us To The Throne 

And 

Seats Us At The Table Of The King Of Love! 

Dear Ones, 

We Have A Choice To Make 

Which Has An Inherent Challenge To Overcome! 

Are You Going To Party On Easy Street 

Or Live On Hard Way!?! 

Are You Going To Go Easy And Immoral 

To "Gain" Short-term Benefit To Please Your Lusts 

And 

Impress The Wicked And The Gullible 

Or Are You Going To Make The Hard Decision 

Which Gleans For You The Eternal Weight Of Glory 

As You Bless Your Savior With Your Obedience To His Will 

... Even As You Walk In His Way 

Blessing His Called And Chosen Ones 

Who Are Diligently Seeking His Face And His Extended Hand 

Which Bring Hope, Help And Healing

... As We Head, With The Endurance Of Faith

To Our Father's House 

Which Is Our Forever Home!?! 

Jesus Christ Is Love Is Beauty ... Beautiful! 

Please, I Beseech Us All

Let Him Envelop You 

As You Bury Yourself In Him 

To Be Like Him Now, Today ... Forever! 

Peace!

The Beauty Of The Lord ...!

He Had No Form Or Comeliness
That One Should Desire Him
But Within
Is 

The Beauty Of The Lord
And
We Are To Become Like Him!

Man Looks At The Outward Appearance
But, God
God Looks Ever At The Heart
And This Should Make Our Task Clear
And
From His Ways
We Should Never Depart!

Beautiful Skin ...

Outward Beauty Is Skin Deep!
Against A Quiet And Gentle Spirit
There Is No Law!
Outward Beauty
Having Flaws
Fades
But
Inner Beauty
Is 

The Perennial Joy To Behold
For
The Spirit Of The Lord Indwelling
Makes The Heart ... Gold!

The Beauty Of The Lord

Is

His Character:

His Love 

His Joy

His Peace

His Rest

His Grace

His Faith

His Mercy

His Giving 

His Forgiving 

His Blessing Spirit 

His Heart

His Holiness

Beautiful Savior ...

The Savior

Is

Not Beautiful 

To Those Who See No Profit
In The Gifts That He Bears! 

The Savior Is Not Seen As Beautiful

Because
Their Eyes Are Blinded
By Ephemera
And
Their Ears Blocked To Loving Entreaty
So That They Don't Believe
The Goodness That He Shares!

The Fact Of The Matter ...

Beauty Is In The Eye Of The Beholder!
Beauty Is By Utility!
If I Don't See A Purpose
That Adds To
Aka Blesses Me
Then Your Beauty
To Me
Is Sheer Futility!

You Serve No Purpose!

Such, Then

Is 

The Christ
To Those With The Spirit Of
The Scribes And The Pharisees
The Jewish Leaders
And

The Disciple Turned Traitor Judas
In The Time When Jesus Walked The Earth!

The Proud Were Looking For A Bright King
A Caped Conqueror!
A Loud Leader!
A Lavish Lord!

They Got, Instead
A Calm Commoner
A Helpful Healer
A Teaching Preacher
A Ready Feeder
A Spirit-Filled Crusader
A Change Agent
Who Did Their Hopes Dash
Because, Because, Because
He Wasn't Into Power
And
He Had No Bright Baubles
AndHe Wasn't Slinging The Ready

Aka The Cash!

They Were Spiritual Prostitutes!

Jesus Christ Rejected The Position Of Pimp!

Ergo ...

There Was No Meeting Of The Minds
And
There Was The Drawing Of The Battle Lines!

Swords Were Drawn!

Axes Were Ground!

And

Demons On A Mission
Amongst The Brethren
Were More Than A Few
And
The Lamb ... Silent
Was Slaughtered
In Time
And
On Cue!

However ...

Those Who Looked
Who Longed
For His Appearing
Saw His Sacrifice
And
Cried!

Those Who Looked Not For Him
But Another
Gnashed Their Teeth
And

Adroitly Lied!

Know This For Sure ...

At Time's Coming End 

There Will Be No Fence-Riders

No Hangers-Ons
No Drugged-Out Groupies
And
Only Those Who Love The Marred Face
Hands Feet
And
Spear-Imprinted Side
Will Be Rejoicing!

Everybody Else
Will Be Looking To Hide!

Jesus Christ

Loves His Little Children

And

He Perfumes

Every Heart-Felt Prayer

With

The Fragrance Of Innocent Blood

Spilt

And

Packaged

In

Redeeming Love!

Brethren ...

Almighty God
Looks Not At Our Outward Appearance
So
How About Our
Taking A Verse From The Good Book!
How About Our
Taking A Bold Look At His Heart
And
Then Bidding Sin
Self
And
Satan
From Our Hearts
To Depart!?!

Is Jesus Christ

The Righteous One

** Beautiful **

In. Your. Eyes!?!

*******

Dear Jesus,

Just A Short Note To Say:

You Fill My Eyes!

I Love You!

Yours, Always

Your Child Well-Beloved
