Despising Our Own Splotchy Patch Of Almighty God's Goodness For ... Plastic Turf!?!




Beloved, 

Oh, How I Pray For Us All That 
We Will Take Heed To The Living Word That 
Calls Us To Trust In And Walk By Faith With Our God Almighty 
And 
Stop Trusting And Believing In Fables And Get Rich Quick Schemes! 

Dear Ones, 

The Elders Always Quoted This  Word: 
"The Grass Is Always Greener On The Other Side!" 
Which Contains Truth, Fact, Warning, And Encouragement! 

We May See Lush Green Grass On Someone's Side Of The Fence 
And 
Covet Same 
While Despising Our Own Splotchy Patch Of Our God's Goodness 
Until We Realize ... By Bitter Experience ... That 
Our Neighbor's Luxury Yard Of Green Goodness 
Ain't Nothing But Plastic Turf 
Or Real Green Grass Acquired At Mind-Numbing Cost 
Through Unconscionable Sacrifice 
And 
With Inordinate Expense To Maintain 

Plus 

Their Designer-Cupboard Is Bare! 

Dear Ones, 

Our Great God Is The One Creator 
Who Is Our Soul's Sole Provider 
And
He Is Not A Man That He Should Lie
Nor The Son Of Man That He Should Change 
Because 
He Is Having A Bad Day! 

Almighty God Is
And 
Because He Is
We Are ... Able To Trust Him 
If 
We Are Ready And Willing To Believe That 
He Can Do All That He Has Promised 
By The Shedding Of His Own Precious 
And 
Known-Innocent Can Never Be Guilty, Blood! 

The Lord Jesus Christ 
Is 
The  Strength Of Our Lives 
And 
Because He Lives
We May Rest In His Love And Saving Grace 
And 
Be Strengthened To Face 
Whatever Tomorrows He Permits Us To Face 
Under The Shelter Of His Wings! 

Beloved, 

Be Encouraged For You Are Greatly Blessed: 
Trust In The Lord Jesus With All Your Strength! 

Peace!

PRAYER: Father, You Have Given Me Freedom!


Psalm 119:30 - KJV - Bible verse of the day - DailyVerses.net


Father, 
You Have Given Me The Freedom
To Choose To Follow You In Faithfulness 
Or To Allow My Sinful Self To Be My Leader
And The Free Will To Make My Own Decisions
For Or Against You! 

Despite My Straying And Often Disobedience
You Hear My Feeble Cries Of Distress 
And You Still Answer Me When I Call: 
Thank You For Your Loving Faithfulness! 

Father, I Once Walked The Broad Way To Destruction 
And Through Bitter Experience
I Now Safely And In Confidence Say:
"I Repent Of My Past!"
Because I Now Understand, Accept And Appreciate That 
Your Word And Your Ways Bless And Prosper Me! 

With All Humility, Father
I Truly Acknowledge And Finally Trust You Totally
At Your Holy Word: Whatever I Do That Pleases You 
Will Always Bless Me! 

I Have Made My Choice: 
By Your Sweet Spirit
With The Protection Of The Holy Angels
In The Name Of My Jesus, Christ The King
The Lord Of Glory
I Am Walking With You As Life Is Spared
Wherever, Whenever And However You Shall Lead Me! 

My Life Is Yours: Use It! 
My Will Is Yours: Make Your Will Mine! 
My Way Is Yours: Refashion My Feet To Walk In Your Holy Ways
And Comfort Me 
And Wipe My Tears Away As I Negotiate The Crucible That 
Recreates Me In Your Image Today! 
Have Mercy, Lord, On Me! 
AMEN!
