TRUTH: A Light Bulb Moment!

I Met A Little Magpie
Stepping Pretty As She Went!
She Walked Across The Window Sill
And Then She Daintily Bent
And Picked Up The Shining Object
And Zip!
Away She Went!

Ding, Ding, Ding!!
Light Bulb Moment!

As With The Magpie

So It Is With Humans!

We Go After What Lights Up Our Eyes

Even Though

It Cannot Benefit Us 

Or 

Our Living!!

Hmmmm ...

We Can't Fool The Master 
For
He Gave Us 
Our Beings
Our Breaths
Our Hearts, and
Our Mouths!

He Is The Redeemer!
He Is Our Dearest Friend
BUT
He'll Be Either Our Judge, or 
Our King
For
It Will Have Been Our Choice 
When Comes The End!

Think About Your Life!
Can You Save Your Own Soul?
Can You Extinguish Hell's Fires
When You Are Kept Out The Gate?

Salvation Now Is Free
To All Who Believe
AND
Trust In King Jesus
His Heart On Their Sleeve!

Believer - The Faithful!
The Faithful - Standing Holy
On This Hard Ground
Grounded In The Holy Gospel
AND
Knowing 
Satan Can't Turn Us Around!

Better To Be Chosen By Christ
To Be Soldier or Sacrifice!
It Makes No Difference To Us
For
When He Comes
We Fly
Home 
To His House
To The Mansions of Rest
To Live With The God Eternal
Eternally Blessed!

I Want In On Jesus' Action
AND
I Will In The Strife Fight
AND
If I Am Chosen To Say: "Good Night!" 
"GOOD NIGHT!"

I Own No Fear!
I Fear No Fright!
Jesus Is My Lord and My God
AND
He's Already Saved My Soul From Sin's Blight!

I Shall Awaken
Redeemed
Remade
Righteous
In Flight
Nevermore to Be Afflicted
I Will See My God - As One of His Own!

My Rest Will Be Sweet!
My Rest Will Be Glorious!
My Future Amazingly Bright
AND
I Will Sing Through Endless Ages Of
Eternal Day
No More Night!

Just Because Something Glitters Like Gold

That Does Not Mean

It Is Valuable

OR

Pure Gold!

*********

KNOW THE SOURCE

OF

YOUR VALUABLES!!

Turn Your Eyes Upon ... Jesus!

The Flash was Bright
The Spectacle Light
And that Light
Behind Darkest Dimmers 
Fair to Right Blinded Me!

The Spectacle
That Show
The Purveyors of Sin Heaven Knows
Fair Left Me To Truth Disoriented
As Living Swill to Me 
They Unrelentingly 
Daily Presented!

Pretty, Pretty, Light!!
Those Colors
Strobing 
Stroking Me
In My Dark Night
Instead of Guiding My Footsteps Aright
To My Death and 
Eternal Destruction
Led Me
Stomach Roiling
Steps Wobbling
To The Precipice Drear and
I Know ... Desperation!
I Know ... Fear!

In My Sorrows and
In Fear
In Desperation of Soul
I Will Declare
I Called and
I Called Out:

"IS Anyone ...

IS A Savior ...

Near?!"

"No one could be here!

Oh,  Lord, I'm Alone!

Who will Care for This One

Lost ... and so Very Alone?"

And in My Own Last Strength

Huh?!?

I Heard ... ¿??!¿!

I Heard Me a Quiet Voice:

"Turn Your Eyes Toward My Voice!

Look Upon Me - Even Though You Can't See!

I Have True Light and

I Provide Peace and

I Offer Rest!

I Offer You My Living Place 

So

Look in Faith

Toward The Cleft In The Rock - Follow My Voice!

Hold Out Your Hand!

Don't Look Down!

Don't Look Around!

Reach for Me!

I AM Holding You!

You Can't Fall!

My Grip is Everlasting Sound

Heaven Strong

By Grace - Profound

And FYI, It Is Eternity Long!

Trust Me!

I Can't Let You Drown!"

He'd said: "Turn!"

I Physically Turned My Body and 
Looked ...

He said:  "Look Upon ...!"

I looked Up and 
Locked On!

MY Eyes ...
It is My Decision
To Trust Him
Whom I Can't Physically See, See!
If I don't - I'm Already Dead Anyway!
What He's Saying 
Sounds Like Love To Me!

I Must Say I have
My Death to Lose and
His Life to Gain
IF
IF
IF
I
DO
What He - The Voice
In My Dark Light
Night Blindness
Says!

I Squeezed My Blind Eyes
Tight Shut!

He IS Talking to Me!

I hold My Breath for
I am Listening!

The Lord Must Be Here
In The Depths of This Hell Where I Be
Surrounded by a Light by which I can't See
So
I Reached Out!

The Great Hand - I Feel It
IS Touching 
Holding 
Carrying Me!

I Opened My Eyes!
Lord of Heaven!
It's Indeed Jesus Christ
The Author Finisher of My Little Faith!

I Bless Him and Confess
That 
Without Him 
I'd be a Crumpled, Dead Mess!

I'm Glad I Answered His Call and 
Got Off
The Hell-Spun
Stomach-churning
Head-Spinning 
Soul-darkening 
Disco Ball!

Turning Our Eyes Upon Jesus 

Literally Means 

Turning Our Backs To The World

Taking Our Sight Away from What Is Only At Our Feet

And 

Casting Our Gaze Upon Him Who Lifts Our Heads

And 

Will Carry Us - Bodily - Home To His Glory

And

Hanging On To Him

for

Eternal Life!

*******

Drop The Brassy Ring

and

Hold Out Your Heart

for

Your Gold Crown!

*******

Look Up

and

Depend On Jesus 

and 

YOU WILL LIVE!!

Prayer: Lord, Open The Gates

Father, we are Christ-Believing Christians

But we have not yet resisted unto Shedding of Our Blood

Have Mercy

Have Pity, and 

Protect us, Lord

From The Demonic Horde

Pursuing like The Great Drowning Flood!

Lord, grant us Your Grace - You Promised!

Grant us Your Peace - Jesus Shed His Blood!

Give us The Battle Win - The War is Already Over!

Hasten, Lord - Open The Gates of Heaven

We can hardly wait

To Enter The Home Jesus Won for us

By Dying to Save us

From our own Just Fate!

We know that You Can't Be Late!

Even So, Come, Lord Jesus!

Come!
AMEN.
