21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
He Had His Foot On The Brake
And
I Had My Foot On The Gas
And
It Didn't Take Rocket Science For Me To Realize That
I Was Going Nowhere Real Fast!
Very Soon I Was Glad
For It Became Evident That Without His Asked-For Intervention
I Would Have Been Wearing, At The Very Least
A Personalized Body-Cast!
Thank You, Lord Jesus, For The Save, For The Love!
Time Changed!
I Had Had My Foot On The Brake
But
He Escorted My Foot To The Gas
And
I Soon Came To Realize That
I Was The One Who Had Asked, Again
For His Intervention, Again
And
Had Harkened Aka Listened To And Done What He Had Asked
Which Was "Be Very Courageous: Press On To Victory!"
Brethren, Beloved,
How Often Have We Acted Craven Aka Cowardly
When The Plain Voice Of The Eternal God Said:
"Be Brave! I AM With You!?!"
How Often Have We Lion-Heartedly Roared
And
Enthusiastically Run Into Inevitable Disaster
When The Good Lord Had Said: "Stand Still!?!"
Are You Seeing The Pattern!?!
The Lord Said: "Stop!" AND We Went!
The Lord Said: "Go!" AND We Planted Our Feet In Quikrete Mortar Mix
And
Became Statues Of Willful Disobedience!
Dear Ones,
Be Very, Very, Careful!
The Lord Jesus Made It Plain When He Said That
Our Obedience Is The Mark Of Our Love For Him!
Plainly Put,
Love Is Demonstrated!
It Is Not Idolatrous Sensationalistic Emotionalism!
Beloved,
Look Around!
We Don't Naturally STOP At GO Signs
And
We Don't Naturally GO At STOP Signs:
Consequences Apply!
Let's Think On These Things
And
Pray For The ... Our ... Good Lord To Help Us
To Do As He Commands
No Matter The Earthly Cost
Because
Heaven With Our Blessed Lord Jesus Awaits ... For Love Demonstrated!
Peace!
