VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: PRAYER: Looking Beyond My Brethren's Faults!

PRAYER:

Lord,

I Love You

And

I Come In Working Faith, Nothing Wavering

Knowing That You Will Never Turn Me Away Empty-Handed!

I Praise You And Worship And Adore You!

In Your Loving And Holy Presence

I Take Myself To Task Today

And

Humbly, Gratefully, Remind Myself That

You, By Grace And Mercy Free

Looked Beyond My Faults

And

Saw My Needs

And

Have Done All That Is Possible

To Make The Way Plain For Me To Escape Self

And

Depart From Sin

And

Walk Safely Into Salvation!

I Give Unto You Heartfelt Thanks And Praise

And

Ask You To Help Me, In Christian Charity

In Christ-Like Love

To Daily Deal Likewise With My Brethren

As I  ... By Right ... Desire To Enter That Special Gate

In The Glorious Kingdom Above

For The Character-Flaw Of Which

I Shall Be Known An Overcomer!

Please Help Me To Take To Heart

The Lesson You Taught Which States That

Peace-Makers Are Blessed

And

Are Called The Children Of God!

Please Help Me, Dear Father

To Remember Whose I Am

And

The Prize For Which I Am Striving

And

Bless Me To Keep Jesus Christ In My Heart

Zion In My Eyesight

And

A Civil Word On My Tongue

As The Holy Angels Influence Me

To Do What Is Good And Right

While The Holy Spirit Leads Me Into All Truth

And

Gently Corrects Me

When I Stray From The Straight And Narrow Way

To Everlasting Life!

Please Help Me To Bear Good Fruit Unto Righteousness

In Jesus Christ's Holy Name

I Humbly Pray And In Need Plead!

Please Come For Us Soon!

AMEN! 

Real Love IS Godly Action!

In The Way of The Way
Today, I Must Say
That There be Those
Who Walk in a Way where Christian Growth is Mere Play
BUT
Take Heart, Dear Brethren
We have All Been THAT Way
BUT
Our Ingesting, Digesting Expressing
The True Love of Jesus
Removes Us From The Way of Decay!

PROBLEM ONE 
Which Confronts Us All
IS
Love of Lotta Long Talk!
We See a Brother Sister Struggling
AND
All We Do is
Gawk and Talk!

PROBLEM TWO
Is a Disaster in The Word
For  Many of Us
Are Guilty of
Squawk and in Our Own Faces
We up Spit Hawk
And at Doing The Do, Do Valiantly Balk!

PROBLEM THREE
Is Loving The Idea of Love
The Love So Unbiblical
It is Best Called Stub-Love
For
It Is a Love Abominated
Full of "Love" by Good Works
Far Removed from The Love of Jesus Christ
Builder of The Waiting Heavenly Home
Creator of Man and The Earth!

Stub-Love is Amazing!
It Reeks of Expense!
It Glows with Ostentation!
It Gurgle as it Vents!
It Gloats in Vainglory!
Devoid of Agape from The Amen!
It Emits The Stench of
Self -  Not The Savior
For it Gleams With and In
The Praise of Like-minded
Companions and 
False Fake Fast Funny Friends!

I Won't Belabor The Topic
But I'll Tell You Plain
This Behavior Profits No One
All It Will Earn Us is 
A Lotta Hot Flames
For The Master Is Plain
His Requirement Direct
FOR
Faith Plus Hope 
Minus Charity
IS 
Straight-Up
"Goat-on-a-Rope!"

So ...
Dear Ones
Blessed Loved Ones
Let Our Love For Our Fellow Man
Be Not Vain Show!
Let Our Walk Be Evidenced
By The True Growth
In Our Now Redeemed Soul
Which Knows By Sorrow From Experience
That "Out There"
But for God's Grace Walk We!
Let Us As True Christians
Remove The Old Corinthian Flea!
Let Us Not Be Tinkling Cymbals!
Let Us Not Be Loud Brass
And, Please
Don't Be Greedy Ignorant
Making God Haul Out
The Talking Ass
For
If You Remember Right
The Ass had The Armed Angel in his Beady Eye-sight
But Greedy-for-Gain-and-Glory
Recognized Not
His Dire Deadly Plight!

Love With All Heart

The Living Loving God!

Live With All Heart

And 
Love Your Brethren Light and Dark

Whether in The Sheep Fold

Or 
Out In The World Cold!

Love IS Action!

Loving IS Doing!

What, Then, Is Our True Christian Reaction?
