HAVING HOPE AND FINDING JOY: Seeking After Christ Jesus!

What's There To Be Happy About
When There Is Much About Which To Sad!?! 
What's There To Have Hope About 
When We See Nothing About Which To Be Glad!?! 

My Dear Friend
You Are Way Too Young To Be So Cynical ... So Jaded
And
Have Too Much To Look Forward To
To Have The Doings Of The Wicked World
The Happenings In This Vale Of Tears 
To Cause The Light In Your Life To Become Muted ... Faded! 

When We Look In
Look Around
Look About 
And
To The Ground Stare Down
We Neglect To See
The Bright Shining Light Of Holy Life
Who Is Even Now Calling 
Beckoning
To You And To Me! 

Our Lord Has Said:

Look Up! Your Redemption Draws Nigh!

He Has Also Said:

Trust Ye In The Lord Forever!
Buy The Truth And Sell It Now!
Don't Worry!
Don't Doubt!
Believe The "Thus Saith The Lord!
Your Redemption Is Coming Down!

Do You Believe Him
His Word
His Promises!?! 

Yes, I Do But ...! 

... Stop Yourself Right There! 
Butting Is For Own-Way, Hard-Ears, Goats!
You Are An Obedient Sheep ... Yes!?!

Yes ... Yes! I Am Being ... Striving To Be Obedient!

If That Is Indeed The Case
Please Hold Fast To The Cross Of Christ
And
Listen Very, Very, Carefully
As I Share Psalm 119 Verses 49 And 50:

We Have The Promise From The Lord That
He Will Never Forget Us
So Do Not Fear ... Do Not Indulge In Ungodly Fear!

Beloved, 

We Do Not Walk Alone
Nor Are Left Alone
To Strive And Survive On Our Own!

If We Were Truly Left On Our Own
We Would Be Left To Trust Clouded, Lying, Carnal Eyesight
But
We Have An Infinite God With Eternal Sight
And
We Have An Anchor, A Hope, For Our Souls
In Jesus Christ ... The Rock Of Ages! 

Please Consider That The Person Who Has No Hope 
Will Willingly Destroy Others ... And Themselves 
But 
We Who Choose To Believe The Living Word Of 
Jesus Christ The Righteous
- The Lord Of Earth And Glory - 
Have Our Patient Waiting Embossed With
And 
Embalmed By
Truth That Preserves The Believing Soul From Despair 
And 
Hopelessness! 

Beloved, You Are Greatly Beloved
And
Because Of The Sacrificial Love Poured Out On Us
We Wait On Our Lord Christ With Hope 
Because 
We Believe That He Is A Truth-Speaking
Promise-Keeping
Heart-Cleansing
Life-Preserving
Future-Holding
God Of Love Granting Grace 
Who Has Mercy For Each One Of Us Personally! 

Do You Believe This!?! 

Yes, I Do!

Do You Believe It In Your Head 
Or Your Heart!?!
Do You Believe It Intellectually, Emotionally
Philosophically 
Or Aspirationally For Love Of Our Lord!?! 

I ... I ... I Never Really Thought Deeply About It ...!

... And That, My Dear Friend, Is Where Trouble Starts!

Faith In Jesus Christ
Walks A Straight Line!

We, As Christians, Cannot Permit Man's Philosophising
And
Crass Emotionalism
And
Intellectual Gymnastics
To Dictate How We Feel Our The Living God!
Everything To With Our Holy God
Is
By Faith Which Comes From Trusting The Holy Word
Which Is A Transcript Of 
The Character Of The Eternal God Whom We Worship
And
By Our Choosing To Experience The Lord
According To The Preserved Word!

The Lord: The Same
Yesterday, Today And Forever!

By Jesus Christ ... Alone
We Live And Breathe 
And 
Have Our Being! 
Please Remember Whose Child You Are
And
Look Up!

Please Keep Hope For Health And Heaven Alive
By Keeping Your Heart Fixed On Christ Jesus 
Who Alone Heals, Saves, And Seals
And
Always Reveals His Way To His Believing Children!
Keep Your Holy Faith Bolstered: Pray On!
