IN CHRIST ... We Never Walk Alone!

ONE. MORE. TIME.... (sigh)

Instead Of Suicide
Or
Suicide By Cop
How About Man Choosing
Life Through Christ
For An Eternity Spot!

Wherever You Turn
All You Are Hearing
Reading
Are Instances Of Self-Inflicted Death
AKA
Death Without Hope
For Many Are Our Sons And Daughters
Who
- With Life -
Know Not How To Cope!

Bullying
Friendlessness
Helplessness
Feelings Of Uselessness
Unfaithfulness
Rejection
No Visible Hope
Are All Calling Forth Death-Whispers
From Satan 
AND
His Kind
Urging All Who Will
To Leave Life
AND
Clean, Contented-In-Christ Living
Behind!

Brother!
Sister!
Please!
There Is A Way!
A Way To Salvation!
A Way Away From Self
To The Living Holy Way
With Jesus Christ
Who Is Our Salvation
Our Way To Eternal Life
Our Way Out Of Planned Destruction
Our Only Way To Survive 
This Life's Bitter Strife!

Jesus Saves!
Is No Catch Prase!
Jesus Christ Is The Way
Whereby All 
Who Seek To Have Their Soul's Fed
May Freely Do So
For He Is
The King Of Love
The Truth
Our Way To Life!

AND ...?

All Who Seek Life
May Seek Life
Without Fear Of Christ's Condemnation
AND
Without Man's Projected And Anticipated Regret
AND
Without The Ball And Chain Of Sin
Dragging The Soul Down
For
Jesus Christ Offers Hope
Which Will Be Satisfied
AND
With Hope Springing Eternal
He Welcomes All Home
Who Reach Out 
AND
Touch
The Holy Hand
Which Conquered Sin
Death
AND
Hell!
A Child Of The Heavenly Father
Is Never Friendless
Never Loveless
Never Useless
Never Comfortless
AND
NEVER, EVER
Walks Alone!

So ... What?

Jesus Christ
Is Our Priest
AND
Our Intercessor
IF
We Will Trust His Word
AND
His Love
AND
Accept His Grace
AND
His Mercy
AND
Call On Him
To Receive Us
AND
Welcome Us
Into His Heart
The Family Home!

Sin Brings Despair To Life!
Salvation Brings Life To Living Amidst Strife!
Life In Christ Now
AND
Eternal Life With Christ Later
IS
What The Desperate Sinner Needs
IF
He Wills To Stop Satan
From Upon His Sorrowing 
Malignantly
To Feed!

Trust God ... And Go!
Trust God ... And Grow!
Grow In Grace Through Faith
AND
No Matter What That Hellish Fiend Throws At You
Give It To Emmanuel
- Christ With Us -
AND
Walk In Confidence
Knowing That Eternal Life
With The Friend
That Sticks Closer To Us Than Any Brother
Is Laid Out
AND
IS
Before Us
AND
IS
Waiting
For Us!

When You Walk Through Your Storm

Hold Your Head Up High

And Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark

For He Who Made The Dark

Is The Creator Of Us All

And

He Wills To Take Us All To His Home!

Walk On! Hold His Hand!

Walk On! He Died So That You Can!

Walk On! Fear Not Satan's Whispered Words!

Listen To God's Holy Spirit

The Comforter Of Your Soul!

Good Angels Will Surround You!

Get Out From Among The Hell-Bound Herd

AND

You'll Never, Ever, Ever, Walk Alone!

**--**--**--**--**

Make A Plan To Live

For

Making A Plan To Die

Because Someone

Something

Made You Cry

Is

A Trick Of The Lost One

That Satan

Who Is

The Father Of Lies!

Call Upon Jesus Instead!

He Is The King Of Life

And

In Him

Your Soul Is Ever Fed!

PATHS: Wrong And Right

I Was Walking 
Down The Wrong Path
BUT
What A Pretty Path It Was!
It Had Every Thing
That My Carnal Flesh Loved
AND
It Fitted My Feet Like
Hand In Custom Glove!

I Saw
The Right Path
BUT
How Plain It Was To Me!
Everything So Straight-Laced
It Was Anathema
To My Self
AND
What Self Wanted Me To Be!

I Came Up To
The Cross Roads
AND
I Had To Sit On A Rock
AND
Do A Think
To Know Which Way Should I
For A Good Life Travel
WHEN
I Smelled 
Heard
An Unholy Stink!

Self Be Glorified!

Self To Body Is Tied!

Do What Thou Wilt!

Let Not Self Be Denied!

The Stench Of The Stink
Was Making My Skin Crawl
For
The Skunk That Stunk
Was
None Other Than
Lying Satan
The Decimating Fraud
Who
For Want Of Companions
To Accompany Him
To His Prepared Hell
Was
Agitating
AND
Proselytizing
AND
He Was Clearly Out
To Encourage Me
To Get Into His
No-Hope-Of-Salvation Bed!

Suddenly
I Softly Heard ...

I Cried!

I Died!

I Rose To Life

To Save You!

Please, I Beseech You

Come Home With Me

For

I Through Shed Blood 

With Godly Love

Dearly

Faithfully Love You!

Satan Screeched!
I Laughed!
I Cried!
I Shouted:

Thank You, Jesus!

As Heaven
In The Distance
- At The End Of The Right Way -
I Distinctly
Espied!

The Wrong Way
Was Smooth As Glass
Or So It Appeared To Me
BUT
The Right Way
Was Narrow And Rocky
Sometimes Difficult
Often Times Hard
BUT
With The Passage Of Time
I Found That
It Truly Suited
AND
Was The Best Path For Me!

I Grew In God's Grace
For
I Was Striving For Heaven
Where
Prepared For Me
Was
A Holy Peace-At-Home 
Resting
AND
Beholding My Jesus
Face-To-Face
Place!

I Daily Thank Jesus
For
His Intervention That Day
AND
I Am Glad To Say
That I Gave My Character To Jesus
For
It Was For That
That He Had His Life Paid!

I Have Given Up
On Old Things
Old Friends
Old Habits
Old Character Clothes
AND
I Am Blessed
To Say To You, Dear Folks
That
It Is The Best Decision
I Have Ever Made
AND
That
Is Not Some Jacked-Up Comedian's
Poor Joke!

Jesus Saves!!

UNCLEAN SPIRITS: Envy ... Plain Envy!

Precious Pearls

Pasty Pig

AND

Putrid Pennies

Famous Friend

Friendly Fiend

Fractious

False

AND

Fiddly

Blighter, Baxter, Bing

AND

Boss

Outrageous Anger

Cruel Wrath

AND

Secret Praise

Were All In Attendance At

Clear De Aire

Waiting

Some Patiently

Some Worriedly

- None Indifferently -

For Envy ... Plain Envy

To Do The Usual

AND

Blaze!

All The Brethren

Had Individual

Some May Say Peculiar

Some May Say Particular

Issues!

They Intermittently

Cussed Each Other Out

 - Just Because -

AND

As And When Necessary

AND

Made Up Often

- As Appropriate -

BUT

There Had Not Been

A Single Soul

Who Could Hold Their Own Against

Envy ... Plain Envy

Until

Open Rebuke

Into The Family

Had Adroitly

Walked In

Without A Shout

AND

Displaying No Doubt

Unceremoniously

Calmly

AND

Surprisingly Lovingly

Given Envy ... Plain Envy

His Very First Rout!

He Was Not Well Pleased!

But ... I Digress!

Pasty Pig

Always Stepped Upon

Precious Pearls!

AND

Precious Pearls Despised

Putrid Pennies

Because

Well, Because

Pennies Cannot Hold A Light Up To Pearls

Now, Can They?!

High Flying Precious Pearls

Forgot

Ignored

AND

Dismissed From All Consciousness

The Fact That

An Accumulation From

Putrid Pennies

Permits Particular People

To Purchase Pearls

For A Premium Price!

Altercations In The Clan

Caused Chaos

AND

It Is Not Unheard Of

For

The Occasional Crime

To Have Been

Casually Committed

Causing

Considerable Consternation!

But ...

What About Envy ... Plain Envy!

Who, Where, Why ...?!?

What Is He All About?!

Nice! You Called Out His Whole Name!

Envy ... Plain Envy

Is A Hustling Harridan

Who Highjacks Praise

Harasses Effort

Hounds And Hates

Hinders Progress

AND

Highlights Flaws

In Everything

Against Everyone

Anyone

Everytime Anything Excellent

Before Them

As Bounty

Is Placed

Just Because

He Did Not Get It

FIRST!

Envy ... Plain Envy

Is Just Plain Hateful

AND

He Is Past Master

At Getting

Outrageous Anger

AND

Cruel Wrath

To Do His Dirty Work!

Envy ... Plain Envy

Aka Jealously

Is Never Contented

With What He Has

Nor With

What He Gets!

Dissatisfaction Is His Disease!

Discontentment Is His Creed!

Destruction Is His Feed

AND

Hate Is The Strutting Steed

That He Faithfully Leads!

That Is How He Gets "The Feels!"

Remember ...

Envy ... Plain Envy

Jealousy - Same Personality -

Is What Momentarily

"Darkened" Heaven!

Lucifer Wanted

What Was Not His To Have

Nor To Hold

Nor To Know

So He Determined

He Would Have It All

As If His Selfish Desire

Was To The Holy God Of Heaven

Bright Gold!

For His Presumption

Lucifer Received

An ... OPEN REBUKE!

AND

Upon The Earth

He Did Unceremoniously Land!

The Outcome For Lucifer

Is

He Has Been Renamed

Satan - The Adversary

AND

He Was From Highest Heaven Cast Out!

He Can't Go Home Again

AND

Now

He Ever Always

At And Against Frail And Fallible Man 

Plots And Pouts!

Satan Is A Malevolent Spirit!

He Is Powerful

AND

He Is Motivated By Hate!

He Hates What God Loves

AND

In His Dealings With Mankind, My Friend

He Does Not Wear Kid Gloves!

The Continuing Fallout

From That Debacle

Is Still

Disturbing

AND

Destroying

Mankind To This Day

AND

All Who Indulge Satan's Envious Spirit

(Yes ... It Started With Him!)

Will Also Gain And Get

What He Got!

Not A Whole Lot!

Remember Eve!

Remember Cain!

Despise Envy!

Despise Greed!

Embrace Contentment Of Spirit

AND

Let Jesus The Christ

The Eternal God

- Who For Us Died -

In Your Embittered-By-Sin Life

Take The Glorious Lead!
