Cut Off My Nose!?!




Take A Good Long Look In Your Mirror! 
Don't You Just "Hate" Your Nose!?! 

Would You Simply Cut Off Your Nose To Spite Your Own Face 
When You Know Of A Surety That 
Doing So Will Do You More Harm 
Than Keeping Your "Hated" But Needed Nose!?!  

Beloved, 

Think Before You Act! 

Thinking To Hurt Anyone 
Is 
Like Thinking To Cut Off Your Own Nose!  

Think Before You Overreact! 
Think Of The Mental/Emotional, Physical, And Spiritual Pain 
And 
Think Before You Do Something To Spite Someone
Or To Take Revenge Against Someone
Whom You Believe Has Done Something To You
Real Or Imaginary! 

Dear Ones, 

Have You Not Seen
Have You Not Heard That 
Vengeance Belongs To The Lord God Almighty
And 
It Is He, Alone, Who Will Repay All Debts Owed!?! 

We Need To Grow Up As Christians 
If It Is Our Heart's Desire To See Jesus Christ The Lord
The King
The Judge Of All Flesh
In Perfect Peace! 

Let's Never Again Denigrate And Disfigure Ourselves 
In The Vain Hope Of Destroying A Life 
- For Which Jesus Christ Died - 
That We Can Neither Give Back Or Repair! 

Remember ... 

When Digging Graves For Others
We Also Dig One For Ourselves! 

Take The High Road To Christ's Surpassing Glory! 

Keep Your Nose! 

Peace!

THE TIME-BOUND INVITATION: Walk Uprightly ... Walk Holy!



Psalms 84:11 Inspirational Image


The Sun 
Is 
Warmth, Light 
And 
Life! 

A Shield Provides Protection From The Cruel Elements 
And 
From The Killing Darts Of The Enemy! 

Almighty God's Grace Falling Upon Us
Is 
Unmerited Favor ... A Blessing 
A Blessed-Forever Gift! 

Glory ... Surpassing Glory
Is 
Almighty God's 
And 
We Have A Time-Bound Invitation From Him 
To Share In His Glory! 

All Good 
And 
Perfect Gifts 
Come From The Loving And Faithful Holy God 
Who Sacrificially Loves Us, Each, Personally 

And Then

We Have The Plain, Visible To The Eye, Problem
- Which Must Be Overcome -
If
We Are To Embrace
And
Enjoy The Gifts Given By Our Great God! 

We Must Walk Uprightly
Righteously
Faithfully ... Obediently
In The Sight Of The Almighty God
According To The Pattern Given That 
Is 
Christ Jesus! 

Beloved, 

Talk Is Cheap 
But 
It Takes Skin In The Game 
If You Hope To Win The Personal Game! 

Every Game Has Rules! 

Mortal Life 
Is 
The Not-A-Game Game 
With Rules Aka Commandments Like No Other! 

Life Cannot Be Played Aka Done Over! 
Life Cannot Be Halted For Weather! 
Life Cannot Be Timed-Out For A Huddle Or A Cuddle 
And 
We Cannot Tell The Life-Giver 
"Not Today! I Ain't Home!" 
When Our Short Mortal Life Is Over! 

Know The Right ...

We Need To Be Wise! 
Choose To Be Wise 
And
Almighty God Being Willing
Let Us Be Wise ... Unto Our Own Soul's Salvation! 

The Eternal God Loves You!
The Eternal God Loves Me
And
This Same God
Known To Be Compassionate And Caring
Loving, Giving And Forgiving
Just, Faithful And True
Has A Myriad Good Gifts 
To Give To Us Who Enduringly Follow His Rules!

The Lord God Almighty's Rules Are Not Suggestions
So Let's Not Follow The Always-Wrong Multitude
To Treat Them As No Big Deal! 

Remember, Remember
Don't Ever Forget ... 

Almighty God ... Jesus Christ The Lord Of Life
Our Savior-Friend 
Our Redeemer
Is 
Great Gain For Us 
So Get Almighty God ... Who Is For You
And 
Get Your Great Gain! 
Walk Uprightly! 
Walk Holy! 


Jesus Christ
Is
The Prince Of Peace
Who Gives Unto Us
His Perfect Peace!

PRAYER: Father, I Desire The Spotless Garment!

Father,
I Need You!
I Bless You!
I Praise Your Holy Name!
Please Help Me, I Beseech You
Not To Profane Your Holy Name!

I Understand And I Accept, Dear Lord
That To Walk With You Requires
Unwavering Faith
And So I Ask You To Help Me
Not To Behave Like The One Insubstantial  
Hovering 
Between Faith And Doubt
And Earning For Myself The Mark That Says 
From Heaven, I Am Left Out!

I Believe That You Are God Almighty, Holy
Eternal King, Divine
Master, Savior, Redeemer, Friend
My Hope For Surpassing Glory
My Joy, My All 
To Life's Surely Coming End!

Please Help Me To Hold On To My Hope In Christ
And Not Be Disturbed By Those Who Prosper
Doing Evil 
And Employing The Demonic Device
And Living Large And Long, Unmolested
And Boldly, Basely, Begrudging The Lord Of Life
Even A Little Thanks-Filled Song!

Father,
I Desire The Spotless Garment
That Comes From Assimilating
The Holy Character Of The Lord Christ
And I Beg You, Beseech You
Please Help Me To Walk Right In Your Sight
Daily Confessing And Repenting Of Known Sin
So That I Will Live With My Savior
In The Land Of The Blessed
Where No Needs A Nightgown!

No Night!
All Is Delight!
No Sorrow, Shame, Or Fear!
Joys Evermore!
That Land With No Cares
Where Mansions For The Faithful Are Being Prepared
Is Where I Desire To Be With You
So Please Help Me To Be To You
Enduringly Faithful, Willingly Obedient
And Forever True!
Help Me To Maintain The Upward Look!

I Thank You, My Father
For Hearing And For Answering The Prayer Of Faith
For I Ask All In Jesus Christ's Holy Name!
Please Come Soon!
I Love You!
AMEN!

From Head Knowledge To Living Wisdom!

Okay, Guys!
Let's Chew On This For A While:





What Are You Hearing, Seeing, Understanding?!

Well ...
The Text Speaks For Itself
And It Tells Its Own Story!

To My Mind
It Is A Stairway
To Surpassing Glory!

Go On!
Tell Us More!

Very Well!
It Is Like This:

If Something Is True
It Will Be Honest!
If Something Is Honest
It Should Also Be Just!

Just IS Justice IS Just!
It Must Contain Elemental Fairness!

When Something Is Just
It Will Also Be Pure!

Purity Contains No Taint!
It's Wholesome, Clean!

AND ...

Because Something Is Pure
It Is Ever Lovely!
Think Pure And Undefiled
As In ...




Something That Is God-Given Lovely
Is Worth My Speaking aka Reporting On It!

If Something Is Worth Speaking About
There Must Be Virtue ie., Strength And Power Behind It!
Think Of Jesus And The Woman With
The Issue Of Blood!

I Like That!

Very Good Point!

And, Finally ...

Because Praise
- Blessing -
Comes Of The Holy God
For Right Doing
Right Living
Right Thinking
Right Speaking
Righteousness
We Should Think Aka Dwell Upon
These Few Things
Which Will Hail Us Before The King
Who Is
Creator Sustainer
Savior Redeemer
Help Hope
Teacher Guide!

This Word Is Strong!
This Word Is True
AND
As Touching Christ Jesus
It Takes Virtue ie., Strength And Power
From Him
AND
Imparts Hoped-For-Healing
To Me And To You!

Well Done!
I Have Nothing To Add To That!
May Our Almighty God
Grant
That Knowledge Turns To Understanding
And Understanding To Wisdom
So That We
May Indeed Be Wise
Unto Sure Salvation!

AMEN!!

That Was Really Nice!

Indeed!

The Bible Explained
- Explains -
Itself!!
