CERTAIN HOPE: Risk!?! This Is Reward!

... The Best Lessons Learnt
Are The Ones Learnt By Bitter Experience

And

The Best Lessons Learnt
Are The Ones You Don't Have To Pay To Learn!

Come On, Man!
That Is Impossible!
Both Reasons Can't Be The Best!

If Something Is The Best
It Is The Only One!
Get Your Story Straight!

May I Say That
If You Had Chosen To Listen 
Until The Very End Of My Presentation
You Would Have Heard Me Say The Following:

One Lesson Is Learnt Best
Through The Payment For Disobedience

And

One Lesson Is Learnt By Choosing To Obey
Because
The One Who Made The Rule, Regulation
Law, Commandment
Is 
Appreciated ... Trusted
Believed ... Honored ... Worshipped!
He Is Your God Holy
And
In Your Eyes
His Word Is Sacrosanct ... Sufficient!

I Made My Binding Decision
First, Because Of Self-Induced, Bitter, Personal, Experience: 
I Found Out That His Way Was Better
And
Then, Finally
Because Of Love And Gratitude
And
Obvious, Identified, Present And Future Gain:
His Reasons Why I Should Follow Him Proved Better For Me
Than My Doing What Felt Good To Me!

I Attended Both "Public" Schools
And
By Exercising My Free Will
And
Utilizing My Free Choice
I, Being Wiser
Chose ... Choose ... To Believe The Eternal God

Who Wrote A Personal Letter To Me

On The Parchment Of His Perfect Life

Written With Ink Made Of His Innocent Blood

With The Pen Made Of His Redeeming Love

Carved By His Holy Light

To Give Me A Certain Hope Provided By 
His Personal Sacrifice 

To Give Me A Forever Home In His House

In The Living, Unshakeable, Kingdom Of Almighty God!

I Trust The Lord: He Is Faithful!

I Trusted The Lord: He Is Truthful!

I Am Trusting In The Lord: He Is Reliable!

The Lord Is My God: He Is Trust-Worthy

Dependable

Constant
And

Unchanging
And

He Is My Rock

My Defense

My Only Hope!
He Helps And He Heals!
He Seals And He Reveals
So, Because Of His Unfailing Grace To Me
Whereby I Obtain Mercy
And
Pardon And Cleansing
For Confessed And Repented Of Known Sin

I Completely Trust Jesus Christ The Lord ...!

... Our Soon-Returning King!

Serving The Lord Abundantly Pays
And 
Any "Risks" That I Take
By Faithfully, Enduringly, Following Him
Amounts To ... Results In ... Reward!
I Can't Say The Same About Following Satan
The Known God-Fraud!

Indeed!

Jesus Christ Is Creator
Savior And Redeemer
Provider And Sustainer
And Ever True And Faithful
Loving, Blessing, Giving And Forgiving!

He Is Not A Fraud!
He Is Almighty God!
