CHRISTIAN PERSECUTION: Dear Jesus, Please Draw Me Nearer!?!

Wealth
Genius
And
Education
Formed An Umbrella ... Called Vile Contempt

Over Christian
And
With Genius Being Inspired Evil
Sought To Have Christian
- True Christian -
From Living Life Made Exempt!

Many Were The Attempts Made
To End True Christian's Life
And
As Many As Were Successful
Just As Many Failed
And
Something Unexpected Happened
When A True Christian Died!

His Blood Became Seed
And
Even More Christians Sprung Up
Even Amongst Those Who, Previously
Had Sought Upon Christian Flesh And Blood To Feed!

True Christian Was Not Afraid To Die
Neither Was He Afraid For Living!
He Held His Maker In Godly Fear
And
Sought Valiantly In All Things
Ever To Please Him!

True Christian Was Hated For One Little Bitty Thing :
His Refusal To Bend To Tradition
To World Custom
And
His Rock Solid Stance Not To Turn The Holy God
Into A Fallen Man
Or ... Better Put
Raise To The Status Of The Living God
A Fallen Man
And
A Known-Fallen Angel
Now A Damned Demon!

He Walked Straight On The Path Narrow!
He Looked Up To The Hills!
He Knew From Whence His Help Came
And
He Wanted Nothing To Do With
Or Accepted Anything From
Any Who Did Not Accept Jesus Christ As Redeeming Savior
Reigning Lord
And
Almighty God
And
Lived By The Holy Faith
Not Known To Be Practiced
By The Agents Of Satan, King Fraud!

True Christian Knew That If It Was His Master's Will
He Could Escape Injury
Or Suffer A World Of Hurt
But
He Was Not Perturbed By What He Could Nor Foresee
Because
He Was Living By Daily-Delivered Holy Faith
Compliments Of The God Of All Grace
His Father
His Comforter
And
His Elder Brother

Savior

Redeemer

Best Friend!

True Christian Was Holding Close The Promise
The Promise Of Eternal Life
And
A Prepared Home With His Lord Jesus Christ
And
It Was Driving The Adversaries Batty
Those Who Lived For
And
Loved Using, Utilizing
The Known-Demonic Device!

They Indulged Pride!
True Christian Indulged Prayer!

They Lifted Up Self!
He Lifted Up The Savior!

They Walked Wise In Their Own Eyes!

He Walked Wise In The Sight Of 

The One Who Created His Eyes!

They Lived To Hurt The Helpless!
He Lived To Help The Hurting

And
There Was No Way That They Could Walk Together
Because
There Was Nothing Between Them
About Which They Could Walk In Accord
Or In Substance Agree!

There Was Not Going To Be A Peaceful End
And
Upon That You Can Surely Depend!

True Christian Knew
Knew Without A Doubt That
He Was Not Better Than His Lord
And
He Was Not Foolish Enough To Doubt
The Living Holy Word Of Truth!

Said He, Boldly And Cheerfully, Calmly:

Nothing Can Separate Me

From The Love Of Jesus:

Not Height, Not Depth

Not Principalities 

Not Powers

Not Angels Nor Demons

Not Life, Nor Death! 

Jesus Christ Is My Savior 

And
I Shall Not Be Moved!

And He Cried Out Fiercely:

I Am Thine, Oh, Lord! 

Draw Me Nearer!

Look Within ...

Can The Same Thing Be Said For Me, For You!?!

Are We Walking Wise

Or Are We Wearing The World's Fancy Shoes!?!

Do We Love The Lord

To The Exclusion Of Everything Else

Or Are We Going To Be As The Chaff Of

The Summer Threshing Floor

When The Lord Of Earth And Glory

Comes Through The Way To Eternity's Door!?!

Are You Getting Yourself Ready

- Truly Ready -

For What, For True Christians

Is Surely In Store!?!
