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!

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!
