VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Open The Letter!

 

Dear Lady Rose, 

I Sincerely Hope And Pray That This Missive

Finds You In Good Spirits And Doing Well! 

As For Me, Besides A Lil' Bit O' The Arthur

I Am Doing Well, All Things Considered! 

Lady Ro, I Want To Ask You A Question: 

Did You Receive A Strange-Looking

Very Large, Padded Envelope By Mail Or Special Delivery 

In The Past, Oh, I Don't Know, Three Months!?! 

I Only Ask Because I Received A Like Envelope

With A Handwritten Letter With The Strangest Instructions! 

It Said, And I Quote: "If You Are Happy, Read The Letter!

If You Are Sad, Read The Letter! 

If You Are Tempted, Read The Letter! 

If You Are Feeling Weary, Read The Letter!" 

The Letter Of Instructions Rattled Off 

A Long List Of Things For Which I Should Read Some Letter 

Which Should Have Been Enclosed But Was Not! 

All That Was In The Envelope Was An Old Book

Rather Expensive-Looking But Nonetheless Old, Like Methuselah! 

I Shook That Book And No Letter Fell Out So I Am Clueless!

Neither The Envelope Nor The Letter Of Instructions

Bear A Return Address So I Don't Know Who To Contact

About The Missing Letter!

I Am At A Loss!

Please Help!

Love Always,

Dorothy

**********

Dear Dorothy,

You Have Surely Lived Up To Your Nickname!

You Are A Real Dodo!

Yes, I Received A Similar Envelope:

Everybody Did, And Anybody Coming Into The Household

Is Going To Receive An Identical Envelope! 

Dodo, Did You Look At The Title Of The Book!?!

Did You Notice That It Said "Holy Bible!?!"

Did You Open Said Bible!?!

Don't You Know Or Have You Forgotten That

The Holy Bible Is Called God's Love LET...TER To Mankind!?!

I Should Box Your Ears!

How Come It Has Taken You Three Whole Months

To Open That Envelope And, Worse Yet

Three Months To Come ... With Help ... To The Realization That

The Missing Letter IS The Enclosed Bible!?!

You Need A Real Cut-Tail With A Hard Rubber Slipper!

Seriously, Though, All Those Points

Telling You To Read The Letter Are For Real And

You Need To Fixedly Pay Attention To And Follow Them!

Of Course, It Must Be Stated That

"No Read, No Power: Read Well, You Flower!"

That's The Lord's Will Concerning You, Me, We, His Children!

Call Me On Meet And We Can Read It Together

Taking Turns, Of Course!

Love You, Bless You, Talk To You Soon!

Your Favorite Sis-Sis!

Peace!

 

Salvation Is Not A Gamble!

There Is No Gambling With Jesus Christ The Lord! 

Beloved, 

A Word Of Caution! 

We Do Not Get A Chance At Salvation: 

There Is No Risk Involved! 

We Do Not Have An Opportunity For Salvation: 

There Is No Investment Involved! 

We Have Been Given The Gift Of Salvation: 

There Is The Matter Of Acceptance Required! 

Dear Ones, 

If I ... A Mere Mortal

- A Finite Being With A Published Expiration Date -

Am Your FFL Aka Friend For Life 

And I Alert You To Expect A Wonderful Gift By Special Delivery

Same Day Service, Signature Required

And Provide You With The Tracking Information

And Sign You Up For The "Delivery In Progress!" Package Notification

Wouldn't You Be At Your Front Door Waiting

Big Smile, Arms Outstretched

Itching To Have That Package In Your Hot Little Hands 

Because 

You Have Faith In Our Friendship, Our Relationship 

And 

You Want Whatever It Is That I Have Sent 

Because  My Gifts Never Disappoint!?! 

I Can't Give You The Breath Of Life

Seal You Against The Day Of Vengeance

Nor Give You The Crown Of Life 

But

You Trust Me And Believe Me

A Fallible Human

At My Imprecise, Changeable Word! 

What's Wrong With This Picture!?! 

Think About It And Do The Necessary! 

Trust, And Trust In, The Eternal God 

Who Always Gives Good And Perfect Gifts! 

Peace!

SPECIAL DELIVERY: Trust The Lord ... Always!

The Unbelieving, Wicked, Man's Talk About 
Power And Position 
Life And Death Control
Prosperity And Penuary

Is 

Cheap 
And
Without The Backing Of Divinity!

They Don't Pay Taxes On Their Words

So They Speak As Though They Have The Final Say!

The Word Of God 

Is 

Powerful

And

Sharper Than Any Two-Edged Sword

And 

It Does All That 
He, In His Infinite Wisdom
Has Sent It Abroad To Accomplish!
The Word Of The Lord 
Will Not Return To Him Void ... Empty ... Of Profit!

The Lord Backed Up His Word To His Children
With His Own Blood

Making The Word Of God

In The Person Of Jesus Christ The Lord

The Savior Of Every Man, Woman And Child

The Most Expensive Gift Ever Given ... Ever Received!

That Gift Is Ours To Own And Hold And Utilize:

It Is The Most Precious

Because

It Is Heaven-Sent Gold!

Unbeliever, Believer, Wicked Or Good

We Are All Fragile, Hurting, Oft' Foolish, Needy People

And

We Who Choose To Believe That The Word Of The Lord

Is

True ... Sure

Worthy Of The "AMEN!" ... So Let It Be

Know ... In The Day Of Adversity

Not To Be Hesitant To Bare Our Souls Before Our Almighty God!

We Also Need To Remember To Pray ... Just Because

And

Always! 

The Truth ...

Fancy And Politically Correct Speech Is For Politicians!

Lying And Corrupt Words Are For Those

Who Have Made A Covenant With Death And Hell!

Plain, Honest, Heartfelt Speech 
Is 
The Currency Used Between The Beneficiaries Of Grace

And 

The Giver Of Grace

So Let's Choose Always To Believe The Word Of The Lord

No Matter The Matter Or The Provocation

And

Always Speak The Truth!

Dare To Be Humble!

Boldly Ask For Your Need!

Gratefully Give Thanks For The Blessing On The Way

And 

Abundantly Live In Certain Hope ... Of An Expected End

Born Of Your Daily Gift Of Working Daily-Faith!

Jesus Christ Is King ... Our King!

He Makes Personal Deliveries To His Saints

And 

He Will Deliver For You ... And Me, Too! 

Trust Him Today
And 

Know That Glory Awaits! 

In Him Is Our Peace!

The Unbelieving And The Wicked

Will Fall Under Their Own Weight!

Do Nothing To Help Them Accomplish Their Own Demise!

Wait On The Lord Christ:

He Will Deliver For

And

Will Deliver You!
