The Judge Of All Flesh Cares How You Fare!

She Was Speaking Rather Loudly 

As She Firmly Said To Her Companion: 

"I Am Being Judged! 

Who Is Judging Me Is Kind To Me! 

They Give Me Whatever I Need 

And I Don't Even Have To Ask!" 

Beloved, 

The Young Lady Was Speaking About A Human 

But 

I Tell You That Her Words Form 

The Best Description I Have Ever Heard Of 

Who Our Lord Jesus Christ Is 

And 

What He Does For Us! 

People Are Judged Based On What They Have Done 

Or Should Have Done, By Published Requirement, In The Flesh! 

Yet, The Judge Of All Flesh

The Lord Of Life

The King Of Love ... Our Redeemer

Is 

Infinitely Kind To Us Careless

Often Callous-Minded, Cantankerous Ones! 

Jesus Christ Gives Us The Perpetual Blessings Of Our Needs 

Without Our Ever Having To Say: 

"Please, May I Have ...!?!" 

This Is Truly Amazing! 

A Loving, Giving, Forgiving, Kind

Provider, Sustainer Judge 

Is 

Our Lord Jesus Christ! 

This Says Something Profound About Our King: 

He Has Compassion, Foresight

Available Resources

And 

He Cares About How We Feel 

And

How We Fare On The Rugged Road Of Life! 

Dear Ones, 

This Is The Holy One 

Whom We Should Hold In Godly Fear Aka Awe 

With Love And Amazed Devotion 

Because 

He Is Good ... And Gracious! 

Our God Is All-Powerful 

And

He Can Destroy Us 

But

He Chooses Deliverance For Us! 

What A Mighty God We Serve: 

Give Him Praise! 

Peace!

BLIND MAN'S BLUFF: Get Your Eyesight Overhauled!

Ignore

The Counsels Of The Living God

At

Your Own Peril! 

When The Lord Of Life Gives A Vision

It Is A Forward Sight Aka A Heads-Up 

To Bless His Beloved People! 

The Visions Of The Lord 

Give To Us Foresight Aka Long-Range Sight 

So That We Will Have Insight 

Aka A Deep And Necessary Understanding Of People And Things 

To Protect, Help, Hide 

And 

Keep Ourselves From Harm 

So That We Will Be In Perfect Safety! 

Beloved, 

When We Are Plainly Told That 

When There Is No Vision The People Perish

Believe It! 

Carefully Consider This ...

There Is No Vision 

Because 

We Either Refuse To Hear And Heed What The Lord Says 

Or 

The Lord Is Not Speaking 

Because 

We, Willfully Blind, Careless 

And 

Flagrantly Disobedient

Rigidly Refuse To Listen 

To What The Lord Had Formerly Warned Us About 

So That There Is Nothing Left To Be Said! 

Think About It ...

When Our Carnal Eyesight Is Failing Us

We ... With Alacrity

Run To The Ophthalmologist To Be Overhauled 

And 

The Optometrist To Be Fitted For Eyeglasses 

Which Will Return Us To 20/20 Aka Perfect Vision! 

The Lord ... The Word Of The Lord

Gives Unto Us Spiritual 20/20 Vision 

Which Can Never, Ever, Fail Us 

Unless We Fail To Use It! 

If We Are Honest

We Will Give Jesus Christ Glory, Honor And Praise 

When We Humbly Acknowledge That 

We Are The Ones At Fault 

When We, Willfully Blind, Follow Blind Men 

And 

Fall Into The Ditches That Sin Digs For Our Destruction! 

Wise Up And Look Up!

Please, I Beseech Us All

Choose To See The Living Way 

And

Dare To Do The Perfect Will Of The Lord Of Life Today

So That You Will Be Blessed And Saved!

There Are No Winners In Blind Man's Bluff!

Peace! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH : Whom Should He Send!?!

Is Your Faith

** Anchored **

In The Lord Of Life!?!

Know The Facts ...

The Obedient Child Of God 

Who Faithfully Goes Where He Is Sent

Always Comes Back Seeing! 

They Receive Eye-Sight

Acquire Insight

Benefit By Foresight

And 

Are Profited By Hindsight! 

Such An One Will Never Be Lost 

Or Suffer Lost 

Or Be Made To Pay Personal Costs 

No Matter Much The Personal Expense

Because 

He Who Sends Us Has Already Paid The Bill In Full! 

Know The Lord ...

Short Hands

Deaf Ears 

And 

A Cold Heart 

Are Not Part Of The Lord's Priceless Portfolio 

Because 

He Is Loving, Kind, Just, Faithful And True 

And, So

Going Where He Sends Is Best 

And, Therefore

Beautifully Beneficial! 

The Lord Of Life Is Asking: 

"Whom Shall I Send!?! 

Who Will Go For Us!?!" 

Beloved, 

It Is Always Polite
To Honestly Answer The Direct Question Posed
So Let's Ask Ourselves Whether We Really Want To Be 
Blessed By Him Whose Blessings Add No Sorrow To Our Lives 

And

Being Truly Satisfied That Our Creator, Savior, Redeemer
Is Also
Our One True Friend Who Offers Eternal Benefits
Let Us Gladly, Boldly, Say To Our Lord, God 
And 
Soon-Returning King 

Who Can Never Fail Of Blessing Us:

"Here Am I, Dear Lord! 

I Am Available To You! 

Commission Me

And

Equip Me For Your Service! 

I Am Willing, Lord! 

Send Me!" 

Remember ... 

He Who Sends You Goes With You 

And

His Holy Angels Are Watching Over You! 

Go In Peace 

And Love 

And Serve 
The Lord Of Life With Humility! 

The Commendation
"Well Done, Good And Faithful Servant!" 
Awaits You! 

Keep Your Spirits High

With Thoughts Of The Truth

That Is No Pie In The Sky:

Anywhere With Jesus

I Can Safely Go!!

Hear ... To See!

Are There Any Questions!?!
You May Ask About Anything!

Yes, I Have One ... It's Kinda Probing ...!

Have No Fear! Ask Away!

I Listen Very Carefully To Your Prayers
And Have Noticed That You Always
Seem To Include One Particular Request!

And What Is That Constant Request!?!

You Always Ask The Lord Open Our Eyes
To Grant Us Sight
To Help Us To See Jesus As He Is
Through The Eye Of Faith ...!

... You Also Always Ask The Lord
To Give Us Strength To Call Upon His Name 

So That We May Be Blessed And Saved!

We Are Not Blind, Neither Are We Weak
So Why Do You Make These Petitions In Our Behalf!?!

I Shall Now Ask You A Question:

Have You Ever Gone Shopping
In Your Favorite Department Store
Or Giant Supermarket
For One Item
And Have Found Yourself Overwhelmed 

By The Massive Number Of Options
For One Thing ...!?!

... You Must Have Seen The Cereal Aisle 

In Our Big-Big Supermarket!

Okay! Let's Talk Cereal
And
Let's Call The Variety Of Cereals, Sin
And
Let's Call The Varieties Of Sin
Lust Of The Eye
Lust Of The Flesh
And
The Pride Of Life

And

Let's Also Look At The Varying Iterations Of Sin:

• Original
• New And Improved
• Reintroduced
• Seasonal
• Variations On A Theme
• Generic
• Store Brand (Family Favorite)!

Wow! You Have Seriously Paying Attention
To What's Going On!

Are We Not Called To Vigilant
Because
We Have A Known Cruel Raging Enemy!?!

Indeed!

Now To The Point Of Our Discussion:

Request For Sight

Request For Strength

How Many Times Have You Gone Shopping
For One Single Necessary Item
And
Returned Home With A Bag 

Filled To Overflowing With Non-Essentials
And
Even Downright Rubbish
Not Useful For Yourself 

Nor Anyone In Your Family
Nor Anyone You Know
Anytime Soon ... !?!

... Or Ever! 

Been There, Done That
Got The Receipts
Not Happy ...!

... But You Will Very Likely
Do It Again, And Again ...!

... Ad Nauseum!

I Know This Story Very Well!

So What Do You See As The Problem!?!

I Know, I Know:
Self, Greed, No Will-Power ...!

... Emulation, No Insight ...!

... No Eye-Sight ...!

....No Character ... Strength!

May I Say That You Seem To Be
Catching On!

Good Gracious! You Are Right!

In The Land Of Eye-Sight
Fore-Sight Is King!

And

Training And Experience
Determine Performance
And
Final Outcomes!

Wow!
This Is Deep ...!

... And True ...!

... And Truly Disturbing!

Now That We Know All Of This
How Do We Make It Work To Our Advantage!?!

With That Question Asked

We Have Returned To The Point Of Beginnings!

The Prayer Request For Eye-Sight
- Spiritual Eye-Sight -
And
Strength ... From The Throne Of Grace!

The Facts Are Fixed ...

Little Is Much When God Is In It
And
Almighty God's Strength Is Perfected
When We Acknowledge That
We Are Weak And Easily Overcome
When We Are Outside Of His Will!

I Have The Perfect Text:
Philippians 4:13

I Can Do All Things Through Christ ...!

... Who Strengthens Me!

I Have One As Well:

With That Said, Brethren

I Shall Say For Us All:

Open Our Eyes, Lord! 

Help Us To Listen ...!

... Whoa! 

Did You Guys Hear That!?!

What!?! What  Do You Mean!?!

Open Our Eyes!
Help Us To Listen!
We Can Hear Through Our Eyes!!

Brother, I Believe You Are Right!

I Don't Understand!

Look At It This Way:

When You See A Drunk Splayed In The Gutter
Covered In His Own Filth
What Does It Tell You!??

Ohhh, I Get It:
What We See, Speaks
Telling A Story
Which We Obviously Hear
- I'm Adding Spiritual Ears For Hearing Truth -
Hence, We Hear Through Our Eyes ...!

... And In Basis Of Deduction
We Also See Through Our Ears!

Lord, Help Us!

You're Right!

I'm Glad You Asked That Question, Merline!

You're Telling Me!

Now I Don't Have To Live In Hindsight
Because I Now Have Insight
Which Gives Me Foresight
Which Leads Me To The Lord Christ, The Light
Who Is My Strength!

That Sounds Very Much Like A Prayer!
A Benediction!
So What Do We Say!?!

AMEN!!!

The Lord Be Praised!

PROFIT And LOSS: Insight And Foresight!! + Prayer

If I Wittingly Willingly Give Up This World Now
To Gain Heaven Later
I Also Get The Earth Made New ... Later
AND
I Get Both ... Forever!

My Present Loss By Foresight
IS
My Eternal Gain

By Blessed Insight!

If I Wittingly Willingly Give Up Heaven Later
To Get The World Now
I Lose Forever ... Forever
AND
My Now Has No Later!

My Present Gain
IS
My Eternal Loss

BECAUSE

Insight Was Rejected

AND

Foresight Studiously Ignored!

I Don't Know About You, But ... 

By Faith

AND 
In Certain Hope
I Lose To Gain!

Let Me Put It Another Way:

My Mother Gave Me A Large
Heavy
Gaily Decorated Fruit Basket ... With Extras!
It Was A Delight To My Thirsty Eyes

AND

Carnal Heart!

My Basket Contained

- Amongst Other Things - 
A Blank Check
AND
A Bearer Bond
A Hand Of Bananas
A Cluster Of Grapes
A Dozen Oranges
Nine Mamie Apples
Six Star Fruit
Three Avocados
One Pawee Mango
A Deed To A Candy Factory
AND
A One-Way Ticket To
"Do What Thou Wilt!"
In That Beautiful Land
- That Tries Men's Souls  -
Time Flies When You're Having Fun!

She Then Calmly Said:

When (No If) You Get Into Trouble
Have A Difficulty
Need A Friend
Desire To Truly Get Ahead
Want To Get Home
Require Good And Sound Advice
Need A Forever Blessing
Or
Just Want To Talk
Call Your Father! 

He'll Always Answer!

Listen, Listen, Listen To Your Father! 

She Then Put Me Out Of Her House
Threw A Suitcase Behind Me
AND
Shouted:

That Is What Your Father Left For You!

I Missed My Duhduh! 

I Sat On The Sidewalk
Stunned
Slightly Bewildered
BUT
Thoroughly Excited For, Well
ADVENTURE!!

I Was Free To Be ... Me, Me, Me, MEEEE!!! 

Truth Be Told ... 

I Wasn't Quite Ready To Be A Pop-Kite Just Yet

Soooo

I Called My Granny, Watch N. Pray!

Of Calling On The Living God

She Does Not Miss A Way

Nor A Day!

Long Short Story Short ...

I Moved Into My Granny's House
Next Door To Willful Blindness
And Across From Belief S. Belief
And Perpendicular To Truth N. Error!

Behind The House

And A Ways From The Bridge Over Troubled Waters

Was Stradling D. Fence

The Lineman

AND

Next To Him Was Wild N. Free

The Graphic Artist

Who Was Rearing A Free-Range Child Called

Tek A. Knee!

When I Was Settled In My Granny Place

I Finally Took The Time

To Look At My Duhduh Suitcase!

Color Me Delighted And Shocked! 

What At The Distance

Looked Like Pretty Scroll-Work

Was Actually Writing On The Panels

In Clear Script

In What Used To Be Yellow Gold! 

The Words 

(My Father Loves Me!) 

Said:

Be Careful Of The Fruit You Eat!

Eating Candy Is Not Always A Treat!

Doing As You Like ... Now

May Give You A Thrill

But

KNOW THIS:

The Bearer Bond May Be Lost

The Blank Check Is Crossed

AND

Sweet Life Does Not Last!

A Starving Prodigal Will Eat Pig Swill!

AND

A Troubled Spirit Will Covenant Secrets Spill!

Don't Grieve Away The Holy Spirit!

Be Wary Of Where You Choose To Sleep!

AND 

Let Not Physical Beauty Go To Your Head

If You Want Your Head To Keep!

The Book Inside ...

Please Put Its Words On Your Inside

And

In The Lord Of The Book

You May Confidently Confide

Because

For You And Me

And All Who Will Believe

He Conquered Sin Death Hell And The Grave

And Is In Heaven

Interceding With The Father God

And For Us

Preparing A Place!

Whatever You Do

DON'T!!! Make A Shipwreck Of

Jesus Christ's Faith!!

Of The Mingled Wine

Do Not Take A Taste!

Pray The Promises! 

Trust The Eternal Word!

Run The Race For The Win!

Get Shuck Of The Goat Herd!

Don't Profane God's Word!

Trust Me!

I Have Never Told You A Lie:

Your Mother's Gifts Are Temporal

And Are Only Good For Now! 

Their Use Will Bring You Great Sorrow

For They Engender Confidence In Self

And In That Satan

Masquerading As A Benignant Storybook Elf! 

Please Place Them Into The Suitcase

AND

Use The Good Book As Your Life-Guide!

Everything You Need

To Prepare Your Soul For Eternity

Is Between Its Covers Inside!

The Holy Spirit Will Teach You And Chide! 

Holy Angels Will Protect You

And Influence You For Good

And With The Heavenly Intelligences Cooperating

Sin Satan And Self

Will Be Withstood!

Study The Book! 

Redeem The Time! 

Look Up! 

Do Not Turn Aside To Fables! 

Reason With The Holy God! 

Deny The Liar:

He Is The Cast Out Of Heaven Fraud! 

I Thought For A Long Moment ...

I Was Sorely Tempted

Truth To Ignore!

I Could Go Hog-Wild

AND
Eventually
End Up Eating Swill

Instead Of Enjoying A Chill-Pill

Or I Could Go Long For Long-Term Gain

AND
Forget Temporal Power And Fame!

It Was A Choice Between Distant  Shadow

AND

Present, Held, Substance!

I Was In A Bind

A Pickle

Between A Rock And A Hard Place ... But ...

At Length

My Momma's Own Words

Enlivened My Mind:

Trust Your Father!

Before Long ... I Cried Unto The Lord:

Hear My Supplication! 

Forgive My Sin - I Have Many! 

Do For Me

What Only The Eternal God Can! 

Give Me A Clear Way

To Walk Into The Holy Land!

Please Short-Circuit

Satan's Obvious Plans

For

I Desire To Reside

In The Delightsome Land! 

If You Will Go With Me

And

Bless Me

You Shall Be My God

And

I Shall Worship You

As Long As My Life Shall Last!

Let Not The Destroyer

Over Me

Gain The Upper Hand!

Help Me To Be Contented 

With Manna From Your Holy Hand

And

To 

Not Desire The Dainties

From The Flesh-Pots Of Sin!

Help Me To Humble Myself Before You!

I Am Approaching You, Lord

My Faith Showing, Bold!

AMEN.

Renewed ... 

I Pointed My Life Toward

The City Of The Blessed

AND
I Am Glad

That I Chose The Shepherd Of Rest!

I Have Lost Kindred

To Cushy Comfort And Careless Convenience!

I Have Made A Few Mistakes

BUT

With A Heart Fixed 

On The God Of My Father

My Life

Is Assuredly Not Sorry!

I Do Not Ride On Sin's Open-Back Lorry! 

As For My Heart

- God Willing - 

It Shall Assuredly Be Eternally Glad

When By Christ I Shall Be
Gold Crown Crowned 

AND
White-Robe Clad!

By The Way ... 

I Do Not Ever Wear Plaid!

Think About It!

Please ... 

Do Not Let Your Self By Satan Be Had!

Do  Not For The New Faith Fall!

Do Not To The Lust In Your Belly Crawl!

Purchased Pretties 
Turn Positively Putrid 
After Acquisition: Do Not Buy By Belly Nor Eye!

From Christ The Lord

Eye Salve

Linen White And Clean

And

Fire-Tried Gold

Buy!

Truth

Don't

Can't

Won't Lie!
