To Be Blessed Of God
Is
To Have The Favor Of God
And
In This Blessedness
Is
True Happiness
Real Joy ... Joy Unspeakable!
Sad To Say, Though
In The Realm Of The Flesh
Happiness ... Earthly Joy
Depends On Our Personal Circumstances
Always Being Of The Favorable Sort:
Money In The Bank Aka Disposable Income
Abundant Food Always On The Table
New Clothing Aka Fashionable Clothing
Nice Car
2.2 Children
Corner-Lot House
White Picket Fence
Fat Cat And Lazy Dog
Exotic Vacations Three Times Per Year
The Good Job
And
Perfect Health And Home Life!
Beloved,
When We Choose To Be Happy ... Joyful
Because
Of Circumstance And Situation
We Are People Most Miserable
Because
Of The Changing Scenes Of Our Lives!
History Bears Record ...
Remember The Martyrs Of The Holy Faith
Who Were Burnt Alive
Eaten By Dogs And Torn Apart By Lions
Drowned
Sawed Apart
And
Even Had Their Skins Taken Off Their Bodies
And
Used To Bind Books Which Are Still Available Today!
These Faithful Few All Died Singing About
Praying To
And
Praising God!
They Died Happy ... Joyfully Happy
Because
Their Joy Was In Jesus Christ The King!
I Pray That We All
Will Choose To Live In The Faith That Cannot Fail:
Sight Of Eyes
Sound In Ears
And
Feeling On Skin Always Lie!
Beloved,
Let No One Steal Your Joy In Jesus
Or Your Crown Of Life!
Look Up To Jesus
And
Not Inward To Self And Sin!
Gold Is Tried:
Endure Your Test!
Keep The Faith!
All Tests End:
Dare To Pass Your Test In Jesus' Name
Because
No Matter The Earthly Outcome
Jesus Christ Always Utterly Saves!
Jesus Christ
Is
The Joy Of Living!
