HAPPINESS Aka Blessedness!

Have You Ever Considered That 

The Family Into Which You Are Born 

And The Way That You Look 

Are Determined By The Lord God Almighty 

But

Your Attitude And Your Behavior 

Are Solely Determined By You!?! 

Have You Considered That 

It Is Within Your Own Authority

Your Free-Will ... Your Choice ... To Be Happy

Not With And In Things

But 

In The Lord Jesus Christ!?! 

Beloved, 

The Rich

The Rude

The Monied

And 

The Famous For Mediocrity 

Have Taken It Upon Themselves To Noisily Tell All 

Who Are Impressed By Such Trivialities That 

We Will Be Happier

More Fulfilled

And 

Able To Live Our Best Lives Now 

If

We Have Smaller Ears ... Bigger Lips

Narrower Jaws ... Straighter Teeth

Perky Noses ... Padded Breasts And Bums

Fewer Ribs ... Fake Six-Packs

New Gender ... Toys

Bookoo Bucks

And 

A Woke Mind 

Because 

"Thus Said The Man Of Peace!" 

But

Not An Awakened Aka Enlightened Understanding 

Because 

"Thus Saith The Lord!"

The Prince Who Is Our Peace!

When You Love The Lord

You Love Yourself And Others! 

When You Trust In The Lord 

You Trust Him With Your Self 

And 

Plead With Him For Others! 

When You Walk With The Lord

You Don't Walk Over Others! 

Happiness 

Is 

Knowing The Lord Christ: 

To Be Blessed Of The Living God

Is 

To Be Happy In The Lord Of Life! 

Think On These Things! 

Peace!

Nothing Can Separate Us From The Love Of The Eternal God!

Beloved, 

Since The Totality Of The Things Possible To Embitter Our Lives 
Cannot Separate Us From The Love Of God
From Jesus Christ Our Creator ... Our King
Why In The Name Of This Same Jesus 
Are We Permitting The Trivialities
The Pettiness
The Mosquito Annoyances
The Plague Rats
The Rabid Dogs 
And 
The Thieving Cats That Visit Us In Our Daily Lives 
To Cause Us To Doubt That Our God Holy, Giving, Forgiving
Blessing, Leading, Guiding
And
Teaching
Is 
Preparing 
And
Positioning Us For Our Journey Home
To Our Heavenly Father's House Of Love, Joy 
And
Eternal Peace!?! 

Let's Get Real ...

There Is Nothing That Happens To The Obedient Child Of God 
That Is Accidental For Us 
Or
A Shock To Our God Almighty
Mighty To Save Each And Every One Of Us
Who Is Willing To Be Saved! 

We Are Being Regenerated 
And 
The Rust ... The Sin
The Bad Habits
The Noxious Attitudes
And 
The Unhealthy Desires 
Are Being Purged From Our Lives! 

Please Let Us Allow The Circumstances In Our Lives 
To Be Only What They Truly Are: Teachers! 

Be Bright Sparks ...

Let's Learn The Lesson Taught 
The First Time It Appears 
So That We Won't Have To Repeat It Time And Again!

Just So You Know ...

Every Lesson That We Must Relearn
Is
Presented Differently
And
The Exam Is Infinitely Harder!

School Is In Session: 
Choose To Be Alert 
And 
Freely Dare To Learn! 

Pardon Me
But Are You Saying That Nothing
Or No One Can Separate The Born-Again Believer
From The Love Of God!?!
Seriously!?!

You Are Pardoned
And
I Did Not Stutter: 
No Thing 
And 
No One 
Can Separate The Obedient Child Of God 
From His Maker, God And King! 

If You Are Aware Of Someone ... Or Something 
That Shall Be Able To Accomplish The Impossible
Please Feel Free To Document Same For My Study: 
I Am Willing To Be Taught 
And 
Ever Willing To Learn!

What About The Disobedient Child!?!

For Example, Me!?!

Disobey ... And Repent! 
The Lord Remembers That We Are Dust 
And
Weak
And
Need Him! 

The Price That Was Paid For Your Salvation 
Is 
Infinite Love! 
Live Up To The Price Paid ... You Can't 
And 
Believe 
And 
Trust 
And
Enduringly Obey! 

You Appear Before Him A Sinner 
But
A Presumptuous Sinner You Cannot Remain!
Believe The Living Word!
Live By The "Thus Saith The Lord ...!" 
And 
Walk In Holy Light ... Giving Up Self 
And 
Choosing The Savior ... No Matter What 
Even If You Don't Fully Understand! 

Beloved,

The God Of Grace ... For Me, For You
Is 
Not A Liar
So Stop Striving Against The Holy God Who Loves You Best
And

Rest Easy ... In Jesus Christ's Holy Name!

Since You Put That Way
I Willingly Yield!

Peace Be Upon You!

AMEN!!!
