No More Low Road Riding!

Amazing Is The Discovery
That
I Can't Disappoint Jesus
BUT
I Can His Heart Hurt!

Astounding
Is The Discovery
That
By Faith
AND
Confession Of Known Sin
AND
Sincere Repentance
I Can
The Hurt Reverse!

It Is Not A Small Matter
To Hurt Christ The King!

Remember ...

We All Punishingly Hurt Him
When For Us
By Nails
His Body To The Cruel Cross
Did Cling
AND
This Is Not A Matter
For
Proud Boasting
BUT
A Great Matter
For Confession
AND
Repentance
By Sincere Soul Searching!

Be Not Deceived!
The Almighty God Is Not Mocked
For
He Knows Truly
All Who Will Be Numbered
AND
Named
As Members
As Sheep
In The Little Flock!

It Is Possible ...

We May Deceive The World
AND
The Church
AND
Friends And Family, Too
BUT
We Deceive Ourselves
Not The Living God
Whose Hand Created Us
AND
Who Died 
For Both Me And You!

We Are Made In God's Image
AND
In His Own Likeness!
If There Had Been Only One
He Would Still
For That One Have Died
AND
It Is For This Love Attachment
That He Strives With Us Long
BUT
Don't Get It Twisted
For
Every Long Day That Has A Sun Up
Has Also Got A Sun Down!

Pay-Day Is Coming, So ...

If The Savior Matters To You
AND
Salvation To You
Is Not A Curse
Cast Down That Wicked Old Satan
AND
Let Jesus Christ
Your Life Reverse!

Don't Crucify Christ Afresh!
Don't Pound Into His Flesh Fresh Nails!
Don't Ram Another Spear Into His Side
AND
Don't Again
Spit In His Face!

Don't Pluck Out Jesus Christ's Beard!
Don't Cast Lots Again For His Clothes!
Don't Do Another Judas On Him
AND
Please Don't Sell His Body ... Again
To His Known
AND
Revealed
Cruel Foes!

I Am Taking My Own Advice!
I Am Setting Down My Soul At Christ's Feet!
I Am Denying That Treacherous Liar
Satan
AND
I Am Beseeching My God
To Change Me
AND
To Forgive Me, Please
For I Now Truly Recognize My Need!

One Death For Christ
By A Broken Heart Was Cruel!
A New Death Daily 
Is Off The Wall Inhumane
(No Description Is Suitably Close To Being Right)!
So Let Us Stop Our Sadistic Barbarism
AND
Look At Jesus Christ
With New Eyes
Filled
By Heaven's True Light!
Let Us Not In Him Be Ashamed!

No More Low Road Riding For Me!
The High Road Is Now Mine
For
I Am Choosing To Be Faithful
To Him Who
To Me
Is Faithfully, Unfailingly, Kind!

GUIDES & LIES: Self-Deception!

I met Truth!
I met Lie!
One was Old and Decrepit!
One was Pretty and Fly!

I Thought to Myself:

"Old is Outmoded!
Pretty must be Power!"

Sooo ...

I Ditched The Old Broom
AND
I Started Playing with Fire!

"Come On!
That Makes No Sense!
How are YOU Equating Fire and an Old Broom?!

I Will Explain!
I will Tell You
How I was Mushroomed!

The Old Broom -  God's Truth
Swept The Cobwebbed Corners Right Clean!
It knew The Corners of This Old House, and
It Keep The Whole
Honest Pure Clean and Serene!

I Lived To The Standard!
I Walked In The Way!
I had No Thoughts of Worry
Not of Sin, and
Definitely not Decay!

I Should Have Been Satisfied!

But ... NO!

The Hip Salesman Came Out
Selling New Better Modern and Real Fresh!
His Banter was Appealing
AND
His Demonstration Delish!

His Recommendations were Abundant!
Glowingly Spectacular The Prose
AND
Before I Knew What Had Hit Me
I had The Big Liar Ring in My Little Nose!

For a While Things Were Okay!
Not Spectacular!
Not Grand!
Just Comfortable 
UNTIL
Small
Deceits
Started
Filling Up My Barn!

I Pushed Them Into Corners
Dark,  Dusty -  Even Dank
AND 
I Walked About All Pious
Yet Smelling ... Like The Goat -
Rank Rank!

At First, The Aroma was Mild!
Then ... The Smell Lifted It's Head!
Then ... The Stench of Self-Deception 
Raised
His Rotten-to-the-Core 
Dead Head!

I Tried -  VAINLY -  to Ignore The Flies
Until The Vultures Did Descend
And That Is When ... In Desperation
I Called on The Savior of All Men:

Oh,  Master!  

Dear Master!

I've Acted The Fool

And now, For My Efforts

I am like a Plump Chicken

Waiting to be Food

For The Buzzards and The Rats! 

Father, I am as Carrion

Even Manure for The Open Field!

Lord Jesus, I Am Sorry!

Please, Help Me 

for

Satan is My Very Soul Trying to Steal!

*******

Dear Child,  

I AM Here For You!

You Called Me - You Are Blessed!

Your Confession and Repentance

Removes You from

The Unholy Mess!

I Forgive You

AND 

I Receive You -

Know That The World Will Not!

Fear Not!

I AM With You Always 

AND

The Mark In My Book Against You Is

NOUGHT!

*******

Jesus Offers Eternal Salvation By and By!

Satan Offers Earthly Bounty and Cute Buys!

Jesus Guides!

Satan Lies!

Jesus Advocates!

Satan Incriminates!

NEVER 

SECOND GUESS GOD

NOR

HIS WORD OF TRUTH!!
