Lil' Bits Grow A Lot!

A Little Fault

A Little Sin

A Little Lie

A Little Error

A Little Hate

A Little Presumption: Reject This Tidy Terror!

A Little Love

A Little Light

A Little Truth

A Little Grace

A Little Faith

A Little Mercy: Take A Grateful Taste!

It's A Treasure! 

A Lot Of Problems In The Human Life

Stand On The Shoulders Of A Little Presumption

Because

Instead Of Taking Thought To Do And To Live Right

To Seek The Good Lord For Foresight

To Gain Insight

And

The Loving Savior To Delight

We Run And Board The Big Bus 
To The City Dump Called Assumption!

To Assume Makes A Fool Of You

And

A Bare-Back Donkey Out Of Me

With Neither Of Us Arriving At The Correct Destination!

We List To Port

And

We List To Starboard

And

We Never Make Land At Known-Safe Harbor!

Calvary Is A Fact ...

Mercy Is The Gift Most Free

The Blessing Of The Living God

To All Possessing The Human Body!

Mercy, For Us, Was Purchased At Great Expense

And

All Who Are Wise Unto Salvation

Grab Hold Hard Of The Container

The Lord ... The Christ

Who For Our Redemption

Was Bruised, Punctured

Despised, Discarded, Forsaken

But

In Glorious Triumph ... Denying Death

From Our Appointed Grave

He Did Massively Awaken! 

No Need To Assume:

Mercy For All Is Available

And Free!

A Little Mercy Makes The Way To Life Plain! 

A Little Mercy Relieves The Profane Of Their Shame! 

A Little Mercy To Us

From The Lord Who Gives Life

Acts As Our Catalyst

Giving Us The Best And Blessed Reason 

To Seek Jesus Christ's Eternal Life! 

Don't Get It Twisted ...

Presumption Knows Not Mercy

And

Mercy Has No Part In Presumption! 

Presumption Is A Gateway ... Drug

And
Presumption Itself Is Sin

And

Presumption Leads To The Pandora's Velvet-Lined Box

Where The Lot Of Little Sins

Are Comfortably Residing ... Abiding!

It Is Time That In The Lord Christ

You Sincerely Start Confiding!

Know The Facts ...

Little Things With Life Always Grow

And

Always Take One Of Two Directional Channels:

Send Down Roots

Grow Up Into A Lush Tree

And

Bear Abundant Good Fruit! 

Good Fruit Trees Get Pruned!

Or

Send Down Roots

Grow Up Into A Lush Tree

And

Bear Inedible Fruit! 

Bad Fruit Trees Get Purged!

Know The Right ...

The Tree Watered With Mercy 

Bears The Harvest Of Good Fruit

Fit For The Barns Of The Good King! 

The Tree Watered With Presumption

Bears The Harvest Of Inedible Fruit

And

The Tree Is Cut Down

And 
Made Into Wood For Burning

And

Cast Into The Hot Ovens Of The King! 

A Little Goes A Long Way! 

Is Your Little Something-Something

Leading You Tame To Salvation

Or Leading You Wildly To Damnation!?! 

Is Your Little Bit Good!?!

Is Your Little Bit Bad!?!

Is Your Little Bit A Treasure

Or Something From Which

To Save Your Life

You Must, With Prejudice, Be Severed!?! 

The Way To Eternal Life 
Just Requires One Little Step

One Constant Little Step

One Repeated Little Step

One Faithful Little Step

One Obedient Little Step

One Little Step ... Of Endurance! 

Whoever Endures To The End

Shall Be Saved!

The Master Is Here!

The Master Is Near!

The Master Is Walking With Us, Dear One!
We Should Roundly Cheer!

Let's Be Wise Unto Soul Salvation!
Let's Take A Little Step ... A Little Walk With Our Lord

And

Ascend Hill Zion That Beulah Land

Where There Is Joy, Peace ... No Fear! 

All There, Beloved, Is Bountiful Blessings
And
Loving Accord!
Let's Choose Eternal Life
And
The Great Reward!
Soon Comes The Long-Awaited Day!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Encumbering The Ground!? + PRAYER: Lord, Please Do Not Cast Me Out!

I Came Upon A Tree One Day
In The Beautiful Garden Of God!
It Was Lush And Large
For It Had Been There For A Great While
AND
I Thought To Linger There
To Contemplate The Word
AND
To Pray To The Living God
The One Who Gave Me My Smile!

I Sat Contented
BUT THENI Noted Something Strange!
All The Other Trees Bore Fruit
Save The One Under Which I Sat
AND
Truth Be Told
That Made Me Rock Back ...!

An Unfruitful Tree?!

In The Garden Of God?!

That Is An Impossibility! 

Could This Be

An Encumberer Of The Ground?!

I Got Up From There Quickly
All The While Talking With The Lord
Within Myself
AND
Trusting The Word Of The Living Book Of Life
Took Thought Of What I
- For The Kingdom -
Was Doing Myself
To Redeem The Time
AND
Recognize That The Days Were Evil
AND
That I Worked For The Divine!

I Was Pulled Up
- Real Short -
By A Sharp Jabbing Pain
That Afflicted My Heart
AND
Made Me In Exclamation

Pray:

Father,

Forgive Me!

Please Give Me Another Chance!

Please Till My Soil

And Manure Me

And

Let Me ... Cherished

Grow In Grace

Just For A Little While

So That In The Harvest

I Shall Bear Good Fruit

Perhaps 30 Fold

60 

Even 100 Fold! 

You, Lord

Know The Truth!

I Am Willing - Work On Me! 

I Am Willing - Pass Me The Crucible Through! 

Keep Me Faithful - I Am Pleading! 

Bless Me, Lord God Almighty

So That I May Bless The Living Kingdom

By Laboring To Bless Others

And

Bless You!

Forgive Me, Lord

For Celebrating

All The Wrong That I Did Not Commit

All The While As I Was Neglecting

Doing The Good Required Of Me - 

I Should Have Been Laboring

As One Truly Faithful

Provisioned By Your Grace!

Please, Lord

Do Not Dismiss Me

Casting Me Out

As An Emcumberer Of The Ground! 

Please Fit Me For Your Service

For

I Desire In The Living Kingdom

To Be Found!

I Love You, Lord!

I Need You!

I Seek You, Lord

In Godly Fear!

I Desire To Be Your Fruitful Tree

So

Prepare My Heart, Lord

For

For Your Faithful People

I Do Dearly Care!

I Yield Myself, Lord

 To Your Heavenly Care!

The Heavenly Gardener
Turned The Sod At My Feet!
The Son Shone Light In My Heart!
The Holy Spirit Rained Down Upon Me

AND
The Angels Kept The Sin-Bugs Away
AND
Soon

Soon I Knew
That In Me
There Was Good Fruit A-Growing
For
I Could Feel Those Blossoms Poking Through!

Ouch!            Ouch!            Oww!

Time Flies ...

The Day Of Harvest
Is Mere Moments Away
AND
Only Then Will I Know
My Tally Of Production
BUT
Whatever It Is
Of A Surety I Know
That I Am Not A Tree
Marked
For Damnation's Destruction!

Take Heed To Yourselves
All Ye That Are Trees
In The Beautiful Garden Of God!
God Almighty Expects A Good Harvest
From One And From All
AND
It Is He That Knows Of Each Tree The Amount
So

Heed The Call

ANDDo Your Duty

AND
Bear Good Fruit
AND
Leave It To The Living God
To Declare In The Harvest Celebration
Your Just 

AND

True 

Good Produce Count!

Get Your Strength

From

Jesus Christ

The One Righteous

The Blessed Blessing Fount!

PRESUMPTION : FAITH!

Faith And Presumption
Are Adversaries
AND
That Is Gospel Truth!

Faith Claims God's Promises
AND
Bears Obedience
That Good

Very God Fruit!

Presumption
- By Contrast -
That Bold Fellow He
Lays Claim To God's Promises
Without Fidelity
AND
All That He Brings
Is Windblown Fruit
For
He Uses The Promises
To Excuse Transgression
AND
He Is Bold, Bold

AND
Rotten To The Root

To Boot!

Faith Is Not Presumptuous
AND
Presumption
Cannot Ever Of Faith Assay
AND
All The Brethren
Need To Know
How To Recognize That Difference
Or
For Own Sin
They Will Surely Have To Pay!

Faith Is An Open Door!
Presumption Is A Hardened Cell
Locked
AND
Neither Can Suffice For The Other
AND
Of This Fact
All Mankind
Should Surely, Surely, Take Stock!

Faith Walks Not By Sight
BUT
Presumption Lives In Flood Light
Ever Assured
By What It Can Machinate To See

AND
Always Rolling Black Dice
Ever Hopeful
Of A Free Golf Tee Fee!

In Faith Resides Trust!
In Presumption Lies Lust
Of The Eye
Of The Flesh
In The Pride Of Life
AND
All Who With Presumption Consort
Will Never
Ever
With The King Of Life
Have An Eternal Part!

Presumption Is ... Sin!

And

The Wages Of Sin Is ... Death!

And

Dead Men Can't Talk

So

... Obviously ...

Dead-Man Talk

Won't Cause God's Punishment

From You To Walk

UNLESS

The Talker

Has Taken

Is Taking

The Talking With Jesus Christ

Believing Him

And

Trusting Him For Eternal Life

Walk!

Where You At?!

A Singular Blessing!

Children Of The Father
Listen Unto Me!
There Is A Blessing
If You Walk Not
In The Counsel Of The Ungodly!

That Blessing Hinges On One Step Further
Requiring
That You Stand Not
In The Way Of Sinners
AND
That You Sit Not In The Seat
Of Those With Scornful Ways
AND
It Is Grand
In The Outpouring
Contrasting
Our End
With The End
Of Those Whose Walk Is
- By Studied Choice -
Is Not Godly Nor Chaste!

The Godly Delight
In The Law Of The Lord
AND
Meditate Upon God's Law
Day And Night
AND
God's Blessing
Makes Us Grow
Like Trees Planted
Where Rivers Of Water Flow
So That In Our Due Season
Our Leaves Having Not Withered
We -  Each - Shall Bear Good Fruit
AND
Everything We Do
- Individually -
Shall Prosper
For The Living God Says So!

We All Would Do Well
To Carefully Note
AND
Compare By Contrast
That
Stagnant Water
Does Not Run
AND
Its Note Of Distinction Is
That The Stench It Produces
Is Not To Observers
AND
Passersby's Nostrils
Aromatically Pleasant
Nor Fun!

Therefore ...

In The Eye Of The Beholder
The Sight Is As Offputting
As Is The Smell
Rendering
The Stagnated Ungodly Sinful Scorner
Unfit
In Heavenly Realms
Among God's Righteous People
To Sublimely Dwell!

In The Old Days
The Grandparents Used To Say That:

"Scornful Dog Does Eat Dirty Pudding!"

AND

That Statement Is As True As
John 3 Verse 16
For
Without Spiritual Discernment
We Can't Tell Clean From Unclean
AND
Our Unwillingness To Be Taught
Of The Holy God
Will Leave Us In A Place
Where Fools Have Always Stood!

An Ungodly Person
Has Himself For His Own God
AND
For This Abomination
Will Glean For Himself
The Just Reward Of The Fraud!

Let Us Not As Christ's Followers
Adopt The Ways Of The Illuminated World
Tearing Down The Temple Of The Holy God
AND
Raising Up Temples
To Demons
AND
Demon-Possessed Humans
Masquerading As Saviors Of The World
That They Themselves
Are Indignantly Destroying
Directed By King Fraud
Deceiver Of All Men
Who Forsake Our Holy Lord
The Eternal God!

God
In Prophecy
That Is ... History In Advance
Made It Clear
To Revelation's Hearers And Readers
That He Will Destroy Those Who
Would Destroy The World!
God Has Reserved Unto Himself
That Particular Working
You See
AND
Men Would Do Well
To Walk True
AND
Before God ... Holy!

Day Runs
Until Day Catches It!
A Balloon Floats
Until A Pin Bursts It!
Satan Now Gloats
BUT
One Day Soon
He Will Be Burning Like Forgotten Toast
AND
All The Faithful
Will Be Resident In New Jerusalem
With Jesus Christ
The Conquering King
As Our Host!

A Blessing Is Offered!
Will You Believe
AND
Receive
Or
Will You Be Presumptuous
AND
Let
Satan You Deceive?

Jesus Is Soon Coming!
The Wicked Are Primed
AND
Getting Fat
So
Be Faithful To The Father
AND
Upon Purged Ways
Do Not Look Back!

Faithfulness Has Its Own Reward
AND
So Does Wickedness, Too
So
Please Look Unto Jesus Christ
The Righteous One
Who Loves
AND
Daily Feeds
AND
Graciously Blesses You!
