ALMIGHTY GOD IS GOOD: Why Are You Worrying!?!





Worry, Worry, Worry!

Worry, Worry, Cry!
Worry, Worry, Wander
Sleepless With Worry Lie!
Keep This Up, My Worry-Wart Friends
And
From Unchecked Worry
You Shall Surely Die!

You Have a Choice, My Brother
My Sister
Worry A Lot
Or
Worship ... And Worry Not!

A Worrier Does Not Worship
And
The Worshipper Worries Not
Because
He Has Taken The Lord At His Revealed Word
And
He Has Given His Worry To His Lord
And
From Himself
Has Given Worry The Blot!

That's Real Easy For You To Say
Who Never Seems To Have Anything
To Worry About!

Exactly!

Excuse Me!?!

I Never Have Anything To Worry About 
Because
I Believe In, Love, Trust
Honor, Worship
And
I Obey ... The Word Of The Lord
Who, Himself, To Us Did Say:



And, For Good Measure
He Added On A Lil' Something Extra
Just For Us To Treasure!

He Loves To Give Good Gifts, You Know!
He Gave Us An "And"
Which Means Bread-Kind Aka Inclusions
- To Get Your Teeth Into -
Are In The Soup Pot
And
Not Just Water And Flavorings:




I Could Use A Good Dose Of Peace
Just About Now!

Do You Believe The Word Of The Lord Or Not!?!

I Do, But ...!

You Don't And ...!

... Why Do You Have To Be So, So, So ...!?!

... Direct!?!

Yes! So Direct!?!
Can't You Feel For A Brother In Distress!?!

For An Unbeliever, Yes!
For A Professed Christian, No!

Whaaat!?!
Where's Your Christian Charity!?!

It's Right Where I Left It
For Someone Who Truly Needs It!
That's Not You Two!?!

Come On, Richie!
You're Being Awful Harsh On Them!

I Know I Am Being Harsh
But
Somebody Needs To Do It!
This Pity Party Has Been Going On Long Enough
And
Every Time It Shows Up
It Is Always Playing The Same Tune:

Woe Is Me!
I Am Undone!

Time To Unbox
The Gift Of Daily Faith ...

To Undo Your Undoneness
Take The Living God At His Living Word
And
Live By The Living Word
And
Your Life Will Be Truly Livable!

Guys, I Love You!
You Know That I Truly Do
But
I Am Not Going To Indulge You In Sin!
You Are Doubting The Word Of God
And
We All Know That Doubt Is Sin!

Isn't It Time You Actually Start
Believing In The Power Of The Lord God Almighty
And
Stop Uttering Platitudes That
Don't Even Benefit You!?!

Either The Word Of God Is True
Or
It Is Not!

Either You Believe That
The Lord Will Do What He Says He Will Do
And
Enjoy The Peaceful Life
Or You Will Doubt 
And 
Be A Walking Dead!

There Is No Middle Ground!
Either God Can Or He Can't!
He Can't Do Both!

The Eternal Word Says That
Nothing Is Impossible ... When
You Put Your Trust In God!
Do You Trust The Lord!?!

Of Course, I Do!?!

Are You Trusting The Lord In Your Present Situation!?!

Without Hesitation
I Can Truly Say, No, We Are Not ...!

... We've Been Trusting What We Can See
And It Has Not Been A Blessing!

So, Don't You Think It Is Time
To Stop Doing Things Your Way
And
Start Doing Things According To
The Word 
And 
The Ways Of The Eternal God!

Richie, I'll Be Honest:
That's Easier Said Than Done!

That's For Sure!

What Do You Mean!?!

You Said That You Trust The Lord Always!

I Sure Do
But
There Was A Time When I Thought I Knew
More Than The Lord Who Made Me
More Than The Lord Who Provides For Me
More Than The Lord Who Died To Save Me
More Than The Lord Who Promised 
"Never To Leave Me Or Forsake ME!?

I Was Trusting My Eyes, My Feelings!
And
Listening And Internalizing What I Heard
And
I Believed The Lies Of The Adversary!
I Had Started To Tread On Dangerous Ground!

Can You Explain That!?!

Sure!
Book Of James!
I Was Like A Wave
Driven By The Wind And Tossed
Until The Day That I Had Had Enough Of
Not Receiving Anything From The Lord!





I Had Been A Double-Minded Man!
I Gave The Lord My Problems
And
Then I Took Them Back
And
Thereafter I Worried ... Incessantly
- Unwisely -
To Be Exact ... Foolishly!

So What Did You Do!?!

Jesus Christ And I Had A "Moment!"

Oh, You Mean You Had
A Coming To Jesus Meeting!

You Said It
And
It Was A Doozy!

Hard Decisions Were Made!

I Had To Decide That
I Would Trust The Lord ... Totally
Follow The Lord ... Completely
And
Set Aside Self With ... Finality
And
Things Changed Radically After That!

Jesus Christ Leads ... I Follow!
Jesus Christ Calls ... I Answer!
Jesus Christ Sends ... I Go!
Jesus Christ Blesses ... I Say "Thank You, Jesus!"
And
With A Grateful Heart
I Give Him Total Praise!

Jesus Christ
 Is
My Master
My Teacher
My Father
My Friend
My Savior
My Hope, My Help, My Salvation
My Provider, My Sustainer
My Lord
My God
My Judge
My King
My Shepherd
My Rock 
And
My Defence!

Jesus Christ Is My All And All
And
He's My Only Way Out From 
Under The Curse Of The Fall!

On His Name, With Love
For Love, With Hope, For Help
I, Trusting Constantly
Believing Totally
- Assured Of Help From The Throne Of Grace -
On His Blessed Name Call!

Speak The Truth ...

He Has Never Failed Me
And
Praise God
He Never Will!

His Will Is My Will ...!

... And Not The Other Way Around ...!
I Get It! I Actually Get It!

Maisie!?! 

Yes, Harvey!

Come, Old Girl!
We're Going Home!
We Have Some House Cleaning To Do
And It Is Not Of Dirt ... It's Of Sin!
We Can No Longer Say That
The Lord Is Our God
And Try To Bend Him To Do Our Will!
We Are Not His God ... He's Ours!

Repentance Is Good For The Soul!
Confess, Repent, And Accept Forgiveness!

Give The Lord His Praise
And
Live In His Love ... In His Embrace
As You Await The Glory Days!

AMEN!

Between Us
Let's Just Call This Most Recent Episode
A Blip In Transmission!
We Have Got A Free Coupon For The Good Oil!

It's Time To Exercise Your Franchise
And
Like A Hot Rock
Drop Satan And His Lies!

Indeed!
From The Ashes Of Sin
We Are Going To Rise To The Newness Of Life ...!

... In Full Obedience ...!

...To The Lord Jesus Christ!

The Lord Be Praised!

AMEN!!!!

My Heavenly Father Watches Over Me!



The Biggest Failure
Of My Life
Was Doubting 
The Good Faithfulness Of God
Who
Made A Blessing For Me
Out Of A Boldly Malicious Deceit Of The Fraud!

I Have Often Wondered
How Is It Possible
To Tell The Living God
Years Later
One Is Sorry For One's Long Ago Sin
When
The Product Of Your Sin
Saves Your Life -
It's Beyond My Understanding!

This Issue "Tormented"
My Spirit For Years -

Father, How Can I Be Sorry
For A Wrong
When
Months Later
By Its Advent
In Dire Distress
I Was Made Strong -
How IS This Possible?
Open My Eyes Lord!
I Have No Desire To Face The Unconfessed
Unrepentant Sinner's Frown!

And,  Then ...

With The Inevitable Passage Of Time
AND
A Willingness
To Let The Lord Christ
To Me
Be The One Divine
Ever So Often
I Would Talk To God On This Matter!

What I Did
Was Upright Sin
BUT
My God Had Not Me Forsaken
AND
Out Of A Prompted Evil
In Mercy For Me
Almighty God
Over-Rode The Desire Of The Devil
AND
Made A Way
That He For Good
Could Make A Use Of Me!

Sexual Sin
Is Sin Against One's Very Soul!
Thievery
Is Sin Against Someone's Property Or Cash Cold!
Willful Destruction Of A Man's Character
Is A Sin Which Makes The Man Poor
But Doesn't Make Us Rich
AND
Blasphemy
Is Proud Sin
Bold Sin 
Against The Holy God
Who Sits On Heaven's Throne
Which Will Get Us Into Hot Hell
By God's Vengeance
Served Cold!

But I Digress.

It Took Time ... But I Learned
God Is Faithful!
Even Though His Love We Spurn
God Forgives
AND
He Has A Thousand Ways  To Save
That We Not Of!

Sin Has Its Own Reward
But
Out Of Evil
Cometh Good
BECAUSE
God Said:
It's A Promise ...

ALL THINGS WORK
TOGETHER FOR GOOD
To THEM THAT LOVE God
AND ARE CALLED
According To HIS PURPOSE!

BUT ... Be Ye Warned

All Sin Takes A Toll On The Soul
AND
Presumptuous Sin
Is Amongst The Worst
For That Type Sin
Always Births Running Foals
AND
Left Unchecked
Before The Living God
Is Going To Cost The Sinner His Soul!

I Went Before The Lord!
I Explained My Predicament!
I Said With My Mouth
That I Was Sorry
AND
Then Humbly Asked:

Father,  
How Do I
Of This Sin Honestly
With A Contrite Heart
Truly Repent?

The Reply Is Simple
Yet
Profound:

Against Me
Against Me Only
Hast Thou This Sin Done!
I Am Your Father!
I Said To You In My Commandments
Don't Do It
But
You Permitted The Devil
Against Me
To Turn You Around!

Your Sin Is Not In Choosing To Believe
The Lie Of Satan
But In Not Choosing To Believe 
The Truth Of Your God
And For This
You've Borne Many Sorrows
That By Obedience You Could Have Avoided
And Lived In Tranquility
Your Life Long!
Remember Eve And Adam!

The Person With So-Called
 Life And Death Power
And
Food And Shelter
Peace And Security
Even Love
Which Often At Man's Hands
Turn Into Hate Power
Has No Real Power
Nor Control Over You!

I Gave Unto You Free Will
A Measure Of Faith
Grace To Find Help
And Grace For Each Day
And
Against Every Temptation
A Sure Way Of Escape!

All Sin Must Be Repented
No Matter If For God
You Are Doing A Good Work
For
You May Work To Save Others
But
For Yourself
You May Find Your Own Salvation
An Unutilized Heaven-Given Perk!


All Sin Is Against The God Of Heaven
And Is Against
- Over Us -
His Sovereignty
AND
By Giving Place To The Devil
We Are Likening Him
To Heaven's Own Royalty!

I Finally Understood
As
Before The God Of Heaven
One Day I Stood:

Every Check Mark
Has To Have Against It
A Corresponding Balance -
By Repentance Paid ... Sin Erased
BUT
By Unrepentance Left Unpaid ... Against My Name
The Sin Stayed!

If Sin Is Left Unrepented
In The Day Of Fierce Judgment
My Subsequent Righteousness
That Is ... My Subsequent Right Living
Will Not The Death Angel's Hand Stay!

A Christian Has No Excuse
For Sin To Remain Unrepented Of
BECAUSE
Under The Agency
The Prompting
Of The Holy Spirit
- As King David Said -
The Sin Is Ever Before You!

For Many, Many Years
Every Single Night
I Would Say:

Create In A Clean Heart,  Oh,  God ...!
Cast Me Not Away From Your Presence ...!
Take Not Your Holy Spirit From Me ...!
Return Unto Me The Joy ...!
Uphold Me ...!

Until
I Finally Understood Why:

The Sin Was/Is Sinful!
The Blessing Was/Is Real!
God IS The Father
AND
His Ways Never Fail!




Then I
With My Heart In My Throat
AND
Truly Repentant
Repented To My God
In The Name Of My Jesus
AND
I Am  ...  Forgiven!


Satan Cannot Outwit God!
What Was Meant
For My Eternal Destruction
Was Overridden
In The Court Of Heaven!

God Knows Our Hearts!

*********


When We Choose
To Work With
And
For God
God Mercifully Works On Us
To Remove From Our Person
The Putrifying Sores
From The Fraud
To Gain For Us
His Eternal Blessings!

*********

Trust God!

He Restores!

*********


Beloved . . .
Is There Something
Anything
That You Need To Place
On The Altar
Of Sacrifice . . . TODAY?!

Thoughts of God's Love ...





I had Me a Think about God's Love - again - and - again - I am Glad that God has The Job and I do not! 

Mankind is unkind
Mankind destroys and then whines
Mankind is ungrateful
And treats God as they would a wild vine!

So, with that being said, let Me ask Us ...

Why?

Why what?

Why does God Omnipotent, God The Omniscient, God The King Omnipresent, Creator of The Universe, i.e, Heaven and Earth, tolerate us?

Why didn't God just destroy Sinful Man and Corrupt Earth - all with Finality - and Create a Brand New Earth from Scratch, and a Brand New Man from The New-Made Earth?

When we Answer these Questions, we will then Understand why We Should Reverence God.

Couldn't God have make a New Earth?
With ease!

Couldn't God have made a New Man?
Certainly, and with Pleasure, I'm sure!

So, why didn't He?
LOVE.

LOVE!?!
LOVE.

God gives us The Clue when He States in His Word ...  




He Says He Can Never FORGET Us!

Another Clue: 



Let US make Man (He already knew who we were) in OUR Image (body appearance) AND Likeness (ready/able to accept immortality; ready to be a being of His Light).

I don't know about you, but I do not want anyone that I do not love to be like (representative of) Me, and I definitely will not have them taking care of my possessions! 

Therefore, by basis of deduction, God MUST LOVE Mankind.

Third Clue ...


Since God is LOVE, and He has Thoughts Concerning Us, it is Obvious that He LOVES US!

Let us consider that BEFORE we were Made, God had The Plan of Redemption in Place!




Does this not suggest that God was making Defective Merchandise?
Not by a long shot!

This is clearly telling us that despite our Anticipated Willfulness, and in spite of The Anticipated Sacrifice of Personal Blood, The Godhead knew us in ... LOVE!

If we look to Lucifer - another Personally Created and Crafted Individual - and his Jealousy-inspired Rebellion, and the subsequent War, and the resultant Expulsion from Heaven, we would see, again, the Answer.

LOVE.

I will venture to say that God said in His Heart: "Let My Love for My Creatures Lead them into My Light," and it is so. 

The Almighty God ALWAYS GIVES US TIME to choose to OR to choose not to be cared for, and guided, by Him.

God's Creatures will either Love Him because of WHO HE IS to them OR Hate Him because of WHO HE REFUSES TO BECOME for them.



God's Love, or The Expansiveness of God's Love, is Unknowable for a Finite Creature.

God's Love REQUIRES Choice on the part of the Creature Receiving that Love.

God's Love contains The Patience Of The Eternal.

God's Love contains God's Measurement in Eternal Time.

God's Love contains God's Blessed Hope 
Which is Measured by God's Faithfulness 
To Constantly Plead with Us Out Of His Love For Us 
UNTIL 
His Measure of Time Convinces Us to 
See, Experience, Understand and Accept 
His Love and His Way 
OR
Because of Sinful, Willful Self, Selfishness and Greed
See, Experience, Deny and Summarily Reject 
His Love and His Way as Contemptible.

In short, God's  Love IS The True Transcript of God's Character which character is showered upon us UNTIL ... The Appointed Time ... which we cannot apprehend.

There is an old expression: 

TIME IS LONGER THAN TIME!

The God Of Love 
who sheds 
The Love of God Abroad
and 
Who Made Time
but 
Who Is Not Constrained By Time 
gives 
The Time-Bound 
Time Not Measured by Man 
but by 
The Eternal God
To See and To Know and To Decide 
To Love God As Lord.


God Made Mankind 
Out Of 
His Love
In 
His Time
For 
His Pleasure!

God's Love contains His Grace
God's Love contains His Mercy
God's Love contains His Justice
God's Love contains His Hand of Provision
God's Love contains His Peace
God's Love contains His Pardon
God's Love contains His Compassion
God's Love contains His Caring, and
God's Love contains His Pathway To Our Perfection.

God's Love is Infinite
God's Love is Free
God's Love is Overflowing
God's Love is Faithful
God's Love is Truth
God's Love is Light.

God's Love Seeks after His Children.
God's Love Seals His Children from Sin and Death.
God's Love Sanctifies His Children unto Himself.
God's Love Saves His Children from That Separating Line.

God's Love Heals
God's Love Helps
God's Love Holds, and
God's Love Hands Us Hope.

God's Love Pleads
God's Love Leads
God's Love Feeds, and
God's Love IS The Steed Which Will Get Us Home.


God Gave Man 
A Free Will
and 
A Personal Choice!


Will You Exercise Your Free Will 
and 
Personal Choice
and
Bless God
and
Return His Love For You? Today?

I Have! Please Join Me!



God's Love is Costly Array
and is
Fashioned 
out of
The Holy God
The Living God
The Eternal God
The God called Man's Savior Friend
and
The God Who Will Succor His People
Until Life's Journey's End!

MARANATHA!
