SECULAR SELF-LOVE + A Prayer Against It!

The Day Was No Different From Any Other!

In The Old People's Vernacular
I Awakened
Said My Prayers
And Brushed My Two Teeth!
After Bathroom Detail
I Had Me Some Dry Oats
And A Warm To Hot Libation
AND
Looked To Start The Day
Without
Getting Into A Nasty Fight
With. My. Self

The Old Peace-Thief!!

Too Late!

Here They Come
Polished As Can Be
Secular Self-Love
AND
Temptation ... To Sin -
Wow!
They Are Wearing
The White Gloves!

Oh, Brother!

I Know What That Means -
They're Going To Try To Finesse Me
AND
Try To Make Me Want
To My Heavenly Father
To ... Lie?!

Yup!
Here It Comes!

I Can Feel The Urge A-coming To Say:

I Love Me!

I Love Me The Best!

The World's My Oyster!

I Am No Ice-Chest!

Oh, Boy!
Today Was Getting Off To 

Another Lousy Start!

I Will Not Submit!

I Will Not Submit!

Lord, Help Me!

PRAYER:

Father,

I Need You!

Have Mercy On Me!

I Didn't Do It When I Woke Up

But

I Am Doing It Now!

I'm Freely

Willingly

Eagerly

Giving My Self To Thee!

Lord,

Save Me From My Self!

Save Me!

Save Me, Now!

My Heart Before I Humbly Bow!

Lord,

My Self Is Trying

Of Me To Take Control

And

I Want No Part Of It

So, I Am Asking You, Please

Of My Life Take Control

For

I Want Willful Self

Outside

Of My Heart's Door!

This Secular Self-Love Has For Me

Been A Total Bug-Bear

And

A Really Grand Lie

For It Pit's One Against One's Maker

Encouraging One

The Love Of God To Deny!

When Secular Self-Love

Loves My Sinful Self

I Cannot

Your Voice Hear

And

When That Happens

Temptation-To-Sin

Screams Loudly

Unashamedly

In My Poor Ear

Urging Me To Willfully Ignore You

And

To Depart From Holding You

In The Necessary Godly Fear!

This, Lord, I Can No Longer Bear!

I Hate It!

Father,

I Have Battle Scars

And

I Desire None New

So

In The Faith Of Jesus Christ

I Give Also

My Will

And

My Way Unto You!

I Am Glad To Do This, My Father

For

I Know That You Will Take Care

And

With You In Control Of My Life, Lord

I Will Not End Up

Worthless

Useless

Hard

And

To Your Blessed Kingdom

Damned-For-Eternity Discard!

Thanks, In Advance

For The Save, Lord!

I No Longer Wish To Be

To Sin

A Trussed-Up Slave

And

I Totally Accept The Salvation Purchased

When Your Beloved Son Died

So That Me And My Kind

May Be Saved!

In Jesus' Name

I Make My Humble Plea

For

I Desire

In Peace

To See Thee

On The Great And Glorious Day!

I Love You, Lord!

AMEN.

Great Questions For Good Christians + PRAYER: Open Our Hearts, Lord!

Since Jesus Christ Is God
And Jesus Christ Has His Father
For His God
Do We Not Need Jesus Christ
As Our God
To Get Jesus' Father God
As God Our Father?

Since Jesus Christ IS The Word
And The Word Is God
And God Sends The Holy Spirit
Do We Not Need Jesus Christ To Get The Holy Spirit?

Since The Holy Spirit Is The Comforter
And Jesus Christ Said
He Will Not Leave Us Comfortless
Do We Not Need Jesus Christ
To Get The Comfort Of The Comforter?

Almighty God IS The Father
And Jesus Christ Said:
I And The Father Are One!
And
No One Gets To The Father But By Me
And Jesus Christ Is The Son Of God
And You Get To The Father
By Going Through The Son
Do We Not Get God The Father
When
We Get God The Son?
Is Not Almighty God Jesus Christ?

Jesus Christ IS The True Vine!
He Says That We Are The Branches!

Jesus Christ Gives To Every Man 
A Measure Of Faith.

Faith Is A Good Fruit!
Man Must Stay Attached To The True Vine 
To Be Good Fruit!

If We Need Faith 
To Overcome The World
Does It Not Stand To Reason 
That We Need Jesus Christ 
In Order To Bear Good Fruit 
For The Harvest Celebration
Which Comes For Us
Only If We Have The Faith 
Which Is What We Get From Jesus Christ
That We Then Use To Overcome The World
Which Will Cause Us To Shine 
So That Jesus Will Commend Us To His Father 
So That We Are Recipients Of The Award 
Given To Those Enduring Faithful 
On The Receiving Line 
In The Great Day?

Jesus Christ IS Almighty God!
Almighty God IS Faithful!
AND
We MUST Trust Jesus Christ
Who Was Born In A Stable
AND
Walked On The Lonesome Road
AND
Died 
AND
Arose And Ascended
AND
Is Right Now
In The Most Holy Place Of The Heavenly Sanctuary
Interceding
AND
Is Coming Again
For Men Who Trust
Not Those Who Lust
Making A Fuss
Over Things Which Are Soon Dust!

I Trust Jesus Christ!
AND
I Beseech You, Brethren
Trust Wholly In Him!
Trust The Living God's Word
AND
Don't Live In Lust
Like Those Of The Grazing Goat Herd!
Live Blessed On The Holy Word
Digested Read Heard!
Please Do Not Live To Forever Die!
Please Live So That
To Jesus Christ You Will Fly!

PRAYER:

Open Our Eyes, Lord

That We  May See Jesus Christ

As The Savior God

Unto Us

Our Humble Prayers

You Have Prepared For Us A Place!

What A Blessed Day

It Shall Be When Our Faith

Becomes Sight!
