VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Love Lifted Me!

KJV Psalms 97:10

10 Ye that love the LORD, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.

Love Is Spelt, Care! 

Care Is Spelt, Help! 

Help Is Spelt, Bless! 

Bless Is Spelt, Jesus 

And 

Jesus Is Spelt, Love! 

Whether We Believe Or Not

We Are Resident In The Circle Of Love! 

Love Conquers All! 

Love Gives All! 

Love Is Over All 

And 

Love Negates The Effects Of 

Our Known Unnecessary But Evident Fall! 

Beloved, 

We May Rest In Love 

And 

Be Restored To Good And Regular Standing 

By Making Peace With Love Who Is Peace 

And

Is Our Peace! 

All That We Need To Do 

Is 

Boldly Go To Love's Throne Of Grace 

To Obtain Mercy 

And

Grace To Help Us ... In Our Time Of Need! 

We Need Love! 

You Need Love! 

I Need Love! 

Brethren, 

Please Never Forget That Jesus, Our God, Is Love! 

Love

Heavenly Love

Abiding Love

Eternal Love

Holy Love

Frees And Saves To The Uttermost 

The One Who Believes In

Calls Upon

And 

Reaches For The Extended Hand Of Love 

Who Brings Hope, Help, Healing

And 

The Forever Home! 

Dear Ones, 

We Say That We Love Jesus

So Let Us With Contrite Hearts 

Confess All Our Known Sin 

And

With Humility 

Repent ... Turn Away From Sin

And 

Truly Love Love By Keeping His Commandments 

Which Are Not Burdensome! 

Love Does Not Hurt! 

Love Lifts! 

Let Us Lift Up Love 

As Love Leads Us Gently, Safely, Home! 

Peace!

THE INWARD LOOK: Spiritual Stock-Taking

What Are You Saying!?! 

Are You Aware Of What It Is That You Are Saying!?! 

Do You Understand That Your Mouth Speaks That 

Which Has Found A Home In Your Heart!?! 

Beloved, 

Be Careful! 

We Should All Be In The Season Of Stock-Taking 

And 

We Seriously Need To Personally Take Stock 

Take Knowledge Of What Things Are In 

The Various Departments Of The Storeroom That 

Is 

Our Heart! 

Where Is Love!?! 

Love For Christ!?! 

Love For Others!?! 

Have You Discarded Hate For Your Fellowman!?! 

Are You Indulging Hatred For Sin!?! 

Are You Cultivating Kindness, Caring

And 

Willing Service!?! 

Have You Discarded Spite, Malice, Greed

And 

Envy!?! 

Is Your Supply Of Saving Truth Daily Growing!?! 

Have You Discarded Lying, Innuendo, Half-Truth 

And 

Raging Deceit!?! 

Have You Ordered An Abundance Of Hope!?! 

Are You Actively Working Faith For Today!?! 

Are You Cultivating Prayer, Gratitude, Thankfulness 

And 

Willing Obedience!?! 

The Inward Look ... 

Please Take A Good Look At Your Heart! 

Open Every Department And Compartment 

And

Get Out The Gospel Hose 

And By Grace

Set The Pressure To New Heart 

And

Do The Necessary 

No Matter How Much It Hurts: 

Jesus Christ Heals Hurts! 

Remember, Remember 

Don't Ever Forget ... 

Wrong Words

Just Like Spent Arrows 

And 

Lost Opportunities

Cannot Be Recalled 

But

You Can Start A New Thought 

And

Have A Godly Conversation 

The Likes Of Which Will Please Our Dear Lord! 

Kind Words Aid Sleep! 

Choose The Peace Of God!

Dare To Care!

If We Love God
We Should Be Loving Our Brethren!

If We Love Our Brethren
How Can We Not Love Almighty God
Who Made Us
AND
Gave The Breath Of Life
To Us
Our Brethren
AND
All Others?

We Claim To Walk With God
AND YET
We Haughtily Walk Past
Walk Around
Our Poor Downtrodden
Hungry
Naked Brethren!
This View Cannot Be True!
This Must Be A Mistake
ELSE
Our Claim To Love God
Renders Us
Pharisaical Fakes!

Putting Coals Of Fire
On The "Enemy's" Head
Will Sear His Conscience
If He Is Not Already Dead!
Heaping Coals Of Fire
On Our Own Heads
Over Hearts Grown Cold
Does Not Do Anything For Us
When We Choose To Be
Gold-Plated Hypocrites
Bold!

BUT ...

In The Last Day
All
Will Give A Running Account
Of The Life Spent
AND
The Treasures In One's Personal Account
AND

"But..!"

"Because ...!"

"If ...!"

AND

"I Probably ...!"

Are Not Going To Stop

The Wrath Of God
From Raining Down
On Our Heads
If We're Among
The Unrepentant
AND
The Ungodly
Who Live For
The Pleasure
The Party
AND
Lord Mesmer's Songs!

We Are Blessed
For The Good That We Do
AND
We Are Held Responsible
For The Good
We Could Have Done
AND
Consciously Choose
Not To Do!

If God Gives You
A Box Full Of Biscuits!
Praise God For The Blessed Outpouring
AND
Set A Few Bits Out Of Your Bounty
On The Water
Wherever The Shore You Are Beholding!
Bless A Brother!
Bless A Sister!
AND
Indeed
Bless Yourself!
For
What Good Is A Blessing
Locked In A Box
On The Long-term
Cold Storage 
Save-It-For-Later Shelf?!

Give ... And It Will Come

Back ... To YOU!

Dare To Share!
Dare To Help Another
His Burden To Bear!
Dare To Care
AND
Save A Life
In This Mortal Strife!

God Is Faithful!

He Keeps His Own Accounting

Of Balances Due To Us All

AND

Unlike Earth's Dishonest Pay Masters

God's Promises Are Written In Blood

Not Chalk Powder

Solemnly Masquerading

As Curative Plaster!

**********

God Keeps His Promises!

Trust God

AND

Do Good!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: The Culture Called "Let Us Care!" + PRAYER: Lord, Help Us To Stand!

Everywhere
All That We Hear
Is:

"Let Us Develop
A Culture of Care!"

There Is Care For The Animals!
There Is Care For The Plants and Trees
AND
There Is Care For The Rivers
The Lakes and The Seas!

This Is All Good
Caring For One's Home
Caring For The Elderly
The Lost and Alone
Yet
We are Forgetful
Of The Most Important
Which Will Make All Caring Just Right!
It Is Developing
The Culture of Praying
To The Living God of All Might
To The God Who Banishes Fear
Who Comforts Us
AND
Who For His People Fight!
Who Provides The Vision
So That We May Behold His Heavenly Light!
Who Sustains All Living
By His Sovereign Will
Through His Eternal Wisdom 
AND
Omniscient Eyesight!

Let Us - TODAY
Make A Covenant
A Covenant of Peace
With The God of Creation
Who Holds Our Life and Land Lease
That We Will Our Will Give Over To Him
So That His Holy Spirit
Will Us Fill
To The Point Where
Without Pause
Uncertainty
Neglect
We Will Repair
To The Father
AND
To Him Constant Bow
In Prayer
Never Ceasing
To Give Him All Praise
AND
Worship
AND
Honor
To The End of Our Days
Knowing
Ever Knowing
He Will Bless
AND
Keep Us
In All Our Ways
For All of Our Days!

PRAYER:

Oh, Father

Our Father

Today We Bow in Prayer

Blessed and Believing

That You

Moment By Moment

Have Us In Your Holy Care!

We Love You!

We Honor You!

We Look For Your Blessing This Day

Knowing That In You

We Have No Need To Fear

Nor Lack of Food

Lack of Water 

For Your Living Word Says

"God Will Provide!"

Clothing and Shelter 

For

The Daily Needs of Those Who 

In You 

Lovingly Abide!

You Say, Lord

That You Let Your Rain

Fall

On The Just

AND

The Unjust

So, Father, Please Shield Us

From This World's Ungodly Lusts!

Create, Lord

Your New Creations

Of Us Who Have Given Over To You

The Old Man

And Taken - With Vigor -

The Holy Jesus' New Man!

We Reach Out

With Fear and Trembling 

AND

We Accept Our Readily Available Salvation!

Lord, Help Us 

To Stand Against 

The Wiles of The Devil

AND

Lead Us

To Our Home

The Home

 Blood-Bought

For Us

By The Son

Your Beloved Son -

The Son of Man!

Father, We Love and Reverence You!

AMEN.
