It's Absolutely Mind-Bogglingly Amazing!
You, Me, We Have A Reputation For Let's Say
Being Punctual To Work
On Time To Complete Assignments
And
Ever On Task Aka No Tomfoolery Indulged!
With This Solidly Intact Reputation
You, Me, We Decide That We Are Going To Do Some "Things"
And
Get Away With Them
Because
Well, The Reputation Speaks For Itself
And
Wrong-Doing Ain't Your Way
Until You Get Caught And Fuzzed Out Like A Cheap Carpet!
Now Picture, If You Will
The Committed To Christ, Psalm-Singing, Tithe-Returning
Righteous Person
Whose Once Stellar Reputation Gives Way To A Stink-Ball Of
Almighty God Knows Me
Because
I'm His Person No Matter What I Do Self-Righteousness
Which, Most Definitely, Is Not The Righteousness Of Our Lord Christ!
Beloved,
The Lord Does Not Stutter
Does Not Take Bribes
And
Does Not Play Favorites!
Good Is Good As Long As It Stays Good!
Good Turned Bad
And
Relying On Yesterday's Good To Earn Tomorrow's Paycheck
Is Not Going To Fly You To Glory!
Remember The Old Adage ...
"Good, Better, Best
Never Let It Rest
Till The Good Is Better
And The Better Best!"
Please Stay On The Path That Is Lit By The Living, Holy, Word Of Truth
And
Do Not Permit The Adversary Of Souls To Convince You That
Receiving His Fool's Gold "Participation Trophy"
Is
As Good As Receiving The Crown Of Life From The Lord Of Life
The King Of Earth And Glory!
Stay On The Son's Side Of Life
And
Be Enduringly Good To The End ... By Grace Through Unfailing Faith!
Peace!
