Resilience!

In Primary School

We Were Rigorously Taught: 

"If At First You Don't Succeed

Try, Try, Again!" 

These Are Good Words To Live By 

And

Surprise, No Surprise

This Sentiment Is Plainly Expressed 

In The Living Word Of Truth! 

Beloved, 

A Baby Doesn't Learn To Walk In A Day

A Toddler Is Neither Potty-Trained Nor Speaks Plainly 

In An Hour

And 

Neither Does A Kindergartener Learn To Write Fluidly 

In Five Minutes! 

We Are Justified ... Made Right With Our God

In The Instant That We Humbly

Truthfully

Accept Jesus Christ As Savior, Lord, God, And King 

But

Being Sanctified

Set-Apart For Holy Use

Attaining Unto The Mind Of Christ

Being Regenerated In The Image Of God

Is 

The Solid Work Of A Lifetime! 

We Are Prone To Sinning By Nature 

But

We Are Nurtured To Holiness By The Holy Spirit 

Moment By Moment Of Each Day

As And When We Choose To Completely Cooperate 

With Our Lord Christ! 

Please, I Beseech Us All

Choose Endurance

Resilience

Stick-To-Itiveness

If You Desire To See Jesus Christ In Perfect Peace! 

Pray, Plead, And Plod On! 

By Saving Grace

Try To Reach Higher Heights Daily

Trust The Savior Wholly And Solely

And 

Live By Truth Absolutely! 

Get Up From Setbacks 

And

Get On With Living For Jesus! 

Peace! 

Only A Look ... At Christ Jesus!

Only A Look, One Look

Is 

All It Took For Us To Know That 

The Elders Meant Business! 

One Look Toward Granny Before Attempting An Act

And 

Seeing Where Her Gaze Indicated

Gave Permission Or Promised Punishment! 

One Look From The Principal 

Caused Many A U-Turn To Be Executed 

By Those Bent Upon Mischief! 

Beloved, 

Shouldn't One Look At The Word Of God

One Indication From The Holy Spirit

Cause Us To Be Wise Unto Our Own Soul's Salvation!?! 

What The Lord Promises, The Lord Performs! 

Should Not We As Faithful Servants

Obedient Children

And 

Careful Students Of The School Of Jesus 

Boldly Trust The Given Word 

And

Look For The Look That Leads Us Safely 

No Matter How Much Traffic

How Many Voices

How Many Contrary Indicators There Are Around Us Saying

"Nay! Go Another Way!?!" 

Has Not Our Lord Jesus Already Proved That 

He Can And Does Save!?! 

Would You Reject The Proof In And Of Your Own Life 

So That You May Belong To The Herd That Loves Death 

Because 

They Reject Wisdom!?! 

Jesus Christ Cares For His Children As Individuals: 

Walk With Him As One Alone 

And 

By His Saving Grace

You Shall Surely Arrive At The Heavenly Home! 

Steadfastly Look At The Lord 

Who Is Lovingly Looking Out For 

And 

Leading You With His All-Seeing Eye!

 Peace!
