HAPPY SABBATH + CONSEQUENCES: What Are You Crying About!?!

Tears Are A Language

That

The Living God Understands! 

Learn To Lean On Jesus: 

Over-Arching Fears Are What Rule In The Life Of 

The Unregenerated Heart Of Fallen Man! 

Peace Is So Precious 

Because 

We Get It Free At Jesus Christ's Cost 

And

That Is Why It Is A Crying Shame 

When, Through Arrogance And False Pride

Christ's Free-To-All Salvation 

Is 

Summarily Lost! 

Beloved, 

Are You Crying To The Lord

 Before 

You Indulge In Sin 

Or

Are You Crying In Self-Pity 

Because 

You Are Being Forced To  Face The Consequences Of 

Your Sinning!?! 

Are You Of The House 

"I Will Do As I Please!" 

While Forgetting That Pay-Day 

Is 

As When Raw Milk Turns Into Cheese! 

There Is A Start ...

 

Milk, Sterilize, Strain, Rest

Mix, Agonize-Antagonize, Rest

Shape, And Package 

And

Then The Big Finish ...

Ship, Display, Purchase

Open 

And 

Demolish! 

In Between Rest 

And

Rest

There Is Time To Think ... And Be Wise: 

Choose To Change Direction 

Because 

When You Are Between Packaging And Opening 

Your Commitment To The Outcome 

Is 

Already Finalized! 

Please, I Beseech Us All

Think Before You Tear Up 

Or Else You Shall Become A Tare 

Which The Reapers ... God's Holy Angels

Shall Surely Root Up 

To Bundle For The Lord's Wrath

To Thoroughly Burn Up! 

Thoughts Become Words Become Actions 

Which Cannot Be Undone 

So Cry Before You Sin 

So That You Don't Have To Cry To Die 

In The Day Of Chastising! 

Brazen Actions Have Harsh Consequences! 

Pray, Think ... And Pray Before You Play 

Or Else For Your Own Sin 

You, Personally, Shall Surely Pay!

Remember, Sinning Is Expensive: 

Praying In Faith Is Free! 

Cry Unto The Lord For Direction Now, Please! 

Peace!

UNBELIEF: Forgiveness + PRAYER: Help Us, Lord, To Believe And Trust Your Word!

Daddy Left!
Momma Lied!
She Loved Daddy Best!
Daddy Died!
She Couldn't Cry!
Drugs!
Alcohol!
Mired By Indulgence In Unapologetic Bad Behavior
AND
Gross Promiscuity, Too
Reality And Commonsense
Had Done A Powder
AND
That Is The Truth!

Rage Builds!
Bitterness Abounds!
No One Can Get Through To Her
AND
He - Forever Wild -
Constantly
Inwardly
At His Self Frowns
AND
In The Day Of His Unmasking
The Dam Bursts
AND
The Language Is Explosive
As He
Flowingly
Does Curse!

Rage!
Hurt!
Sorrow!
Sadness!
They Are All Spent
And He
And She
Two Strangers
Sit On The Same Park Bench
Overwhelmed
Seemingly Cleansed
AND
Each Then Explains
That Self-Hatred
Was The Catalyst
The Root
Of All 
That Brought Them Shame!
Their Hearts Would Not
The Heart Could Not ... Mend!

He Said: 
"Unforgiveness!"
She Said:  
"Unforgiveness!"
Two Strangers!
Same Problem!
What About Me?
What About You?

We Go To God!
We Confess Sin!
We Repent
AND
We Ask For Forgiveness!
God Forgives Us
BUT
We Can't Seem To Forgive Ourselves!
We Can't Seem To Believe
Almighty God ... At His Word!

So ...

We Don't Forgive Ourselves
Even Though We
- By Truth Himself -
Have Been Forgiven
And, So
Crushed
We - In Self-Loathing -
Giddily Go And Join
A Rutting Wild Goat Herd!

God Has A Sea!
Forgetfulness It Is Called!
Our Repented Of Sins
- Forgiven -
Go There
Never By The Living God Holy 
Ever To Be Recalled!

Our God Is The Lord 
Faithful
Eternal
Compassionate
Offering Grace
AND
Mercy
To Me 
AND
To You!
Accept What Is Freely Given
AND 
STOP
Letting Satan Get Away
With
- By Subterfuge -
Trying To Kill You!

God Said
You Are Forgiven!
Believe It!
It's True!
So
Sic The Lord On The Devil!
Trust The Lord!
Forgive Yourself
AND
Walk To Your Heavenly Father!
He Is Holding Out His Hand - Accept It!
He Eternally Cares For You!

Unforgiveness

- Against Self Or Another -

Kills!

Don't Die Twice

Through Unbelief

When The Offer

To Triumphantly Live

In Jesus Christ

Is Freely Available To You!

TRUST GOD!

BELIEVE THE WORD

 and

LIVE!

*********

PRAYER:

Father,

I Pray For A Brother

A Sister

My Self

My Friend

And

The Unknown Other

For We - As One -

Seem Not To Believe

Or Understand

That Our Non-Acceptance

Through Disbelief

Of Your Complete Forgiveness

Your Loving Heart Offends!

Forgive Us Our Doubt!

Help Us To Truly Trust Your Living Word

That For Us

You Do Care!

Forgive Us Our Unbelief

And Help Us The Voice Of Forgiveness To Honor

With Belief

When It, We Do Hear!

Purge Us Of Our Self-Loathing

Which Daily Is Destroying

Trembling Hearts!

Help Us To

In Faith

Call The Devil The Liar That He Is

And

From The Perverseness Of Doubt

To Depart!

You Are God!

Your Word Is Ever True

So When We Say We Love You, Lord

Help Us To Believe

And

Walk In It

If

Indeed

We Will Honor And Bless You!

In Jesus' Name, Dear Lord

Heal Our Hurts

Seal Our Hearts With Love

And

Help Us

From Devilish False Pride

To Studiously Depart!

Grant Us The Promised Victory Over Sin!

AMEN.

TRUTH SPEAKS: Every Day Is Not As Today! + PRAYER: Let My Hope In Jesus Ever Hold Sway!

Truth Spoke Her Piece: "Peace Is In Jesus Christ!"
Hearer Did Not Listen!
Hope Called a Vote, and
Courage Called for Action
Who Knew Not The Way
Nor Knew How to Pray, and
Behaved As If
Every Other Day Is As Today!

Pride Is Aggressive
In The Face of Humble Hope!
Courage Is Amazing
For He Is - By Faith
Learning to Cope!

Hunger Is Hampering
The Walk Into Truth, and 
Necessity is Dealing
With The Intense Pain
Found in The Loose Tooth
That Demands
Total Attention, and 
Won't Hear
Of The Facts
The Fabrications nor
The Outright Lies in The Air
Where True Truth and
Long Lies are  Compared, and 
One Has The Need
For Spiritual Ears!

Truth Speaks!
Hearer Listens
AND
There is Now-Known Fear
BUT
Among The Assembled
Grace - Herself - Appears
AND
Pointing To Hope
While Looking At The Strife
She Holds Out 
Redemption
Leading to Eternal Life!

Truth Speaks!
Stony Heart Creaks!
Deaf Ears Waste Leak!
Blind Eyes Peak
AND
Weary Legs ... Though Weak
Find Courage in The Spirit
AND 
Humbly Speak:

Dear Lord, Most Holy

I Bow Before You and Pray

That My Hope in King Jesus

Will Forever Hold Sway!

My Courage is Faltering, and

My Body is Near to Break!

Lift Me Up and

Protect Me,  Lord

From The Petty Pretty Snake

Who Preys on My Weakness

Who Tries to Hinder Me From Pray

Who is Always Underfoot

Telling Me That Partying Pays -

Not Abstention

Not Rejection

Nor Refusal To Play!

Please Tell him, Dear Father

From Me to Get Away!

I've Been There!

I've Done That, and

I've Got The Tee-shirt and The Scars!

Father, Please Save Me for

I want to Live With You and 

Travel Through The Vastness Of Space

Amongst The Myriad Stars!

Please Give My Hope Courage 

To Act On Your Unfailing Love for

I Truly Love You, Lord!

Amen.
