Exhorted!
Commanded!
Encouraged!
The Pointy Stick!
The Hammer!
The Embrace!
How Often, Beloved, Have You Read The Bible
Or Heard A Sermon From A Faithful Steward
And
Felt That The Exhortation Was Nothing More Than A Burden
A Pointy Poking Stick That
Commanded Your Attention So Roughly That
It Was As Though It Was Being Hammered Into You
And
Pounding Soft And Delicate You Into Mush Or Mash!?!
How Long Did It Take Before You Realized That
That Charged Word Known Truthful, Necessary
Was Encouragement, An Embrace, From The Heart Of Our God Eternal
Who Makes Wrong Things Right
And
Makes Broken Things Whole
And
Causes The Dead To Live Again!?!
What Made The Difference!?!
Was It When You Realized That
The Love Of God Was To And For You
And
For You Made Bitter Herbs Sweet
The Winding Path Straight
The Rough Places Smooth
The Impossible Possible
And
The Hellish Existence The Road To Glory
Because
Jesus Christ's Love To You Was Home Calling You Home!?!
Dear Ones,
The Love Of God
- The Sacrificial Love Of The Just One -
Was Made For All
And
Whosoever Is Willing To Be Saved Will Reap Its Sweets!
Will You Accept The Charge That Is From That Account That
Is
Always Free And Fully Funded
By Our Forever Faithful Friend And Forgiving Father!?!
Listen Again With Love For The Lover Of Your Soul
And
Let Him Lovingly Lead You To His Eternal Life!
The Word Of Life Fashions Us
Feeds Us
And
Fills Us Up Forever!
Peace!
