Nothing Wavering:
I Am In Love With A Jealous God! Aren't They All?! I Don't Know About A "They All!" I Just Know About The Jealous God Whose Name Is Jealous! Really!?! Yes! He Does Not Share! He Desires All Of My Love For His Own AND As For His Glory It Is All His! His, Alone! He Is So Giving! He Told Me Up Front: I Will Always Love You! I Will Ever Provide For You! He Told Me Straight What's Good To Aspire AND Plainly Informed Me What's Best To Retire! Sounds Really Controlling! Oh, No! Not At All! He Is Just Very Specific About The Heart He Holds In His Hand! When We First Met He Told Me Quite Plain: This Is All Blessings! He Showed Me The Right! This Is All Cursings! He Showed Me The Left! AND Told Me To Choose Which One I Will Receive AND Never At Any Point Did He Try To Me Deceive! He Said I Have Choice! He Says I Have Will! I Can Choose To Give Him My Will Which Will Permit Him To Mark Out My Path AND At The End Of This Life My Trove Of Blessings He Will Continue - For Eternity - To Fill! Sounds Like A Bill Of Goods To Me! To You, Maybe! But, To Me My Beating Heart At His Name Completely And Totally Thrills! How Gullible! Excuse Me?! I Don't Understand! My God Is Holy! My God Is True! My God Is Faithful! AND He Is Calling Out To You! What God Ever Does Anything Except Hold Out Their Frozen Hand?! Ahhh! There's Your Problem! Frozen-God Hand! Frozen-Handed Gods Are Not Gods! They Are Idols! My God Is Alive! I Can Call Upon Him At Any Time AND He Answers! He Responds! He Takes Care Of Me AND All That He Requires Expects From Me Is Faithfulness No Doubt Constancy No Wavering Trust No Backsliding! In Him I Am Confiding! One Is Born Every Day! What Is That?! A Sucker! Oh, My! I Don't Know Of Anyone Else! I Speak For Myself! I Know That I Was Lonely Lost Floundering Wandering Wayward Alone When I Met Jesus And, Now My Life Is Complete! He Said: Cast Your Cares On Me! I Did! He Said: Trust And Obey! I Am Trying By His Grace That Challenge To Fullfil! He Said: Walk In Faith! I'm Trying Not To Walk By Sight! He Said: I Will Never Leave You Nor Forsake You! I Hold His Hand Even When I Want To Relent!
Your Funeral!
He Told Me:
It Is Appointed Once
For Man To Die
And Then The Judgment!
Excuse Me?!
Judgment? What Judgment?!
Oh, Dear ...!
The Creator God
Becomes
The Judge Of His Creation
In The Day Of His Appointing
AND ALL MANKIND Must Give An Accounting
Of His Life's Deeds!
To The Repentant He Is The Welcoming King!
To The Unrepentant
He Is The Frowning
Aka Executing Judge!
Everybody Tells Me
Enjoy Life!
You Live!
You Die!
End Of Story!
But, YOU ...!!
You've Upset My Apple Cart!
You Just Burst My Bubble
And You've Done Put A Tremble A Real Tremble
In My Heart!
What Do I Do?!
Where Do I Go?!
Who Can I Turn To -
I Really Don't Want
The Frowning Judge Score!
Jesus Christ
Is The Answer
First Question To Last!
In Him Is Life Eternal!
On Him Your Burdens
You May Cast!
Trust Him - He Is Faithful!
Lean On Him - He Is Strength!
Hold On To Him - He Is Life
AND
Follow Him
For He Leads To Eternal Life!
Pray For Forgiveness For The Rotten Deeds Of Your Past Life!
I Wanted To Serve God! My Soul Desired A God To Worship BUT I Was In A Quandary! Where Could I "Find" God?
There Was A Church On The Corner! There Was A Church In The Middle Of The Block On The Corner Of Each Long Short Street Where All The People Flock! There Was The Pretty Church The Proud Church The Finished Church AND The Church - Building Incomplete! AND There Was Even The Church Where You Could Purchase A Velvet Covered Seat! There Was The Church On Broadway There Was The Church On The Narrows There Was The Church Full Of Blessings AND There Was The Church Of Bare Laughs! NOW ... ALL The Churches "Had God!" ALL The Churches "Had The Only God!" AND ALL The Churches Had "God - For Real!" AND ... There Was "God Spectacular!" AND The "Real God In The Cave!" I Was In A Pickle! For ALL The Different Churches ALL Had The Same God Only Different With Specificity a/k/a "Choose Make Your Own God To Order!" BY NOW ... My Pickle Had Pepper Problems! AFTER SOME SERIOUS THOUGHT ... I Remembered My Granny Telling Me When I Was In The Grass Hopper Grade - I Was Small - That: "Making One's Own God's Idolatry! - Don't Do It! You Must Worship The Living God! You Must Worship The Every Where Every Day In Everything In Who Is Everything Can't Be Fazed By Your Something Never Behind On Anything God Who Created You Who Sustains You In Whom Is Your Life Who Will See You Through The Strife The God In Whom Is Eternal Life AND NOT One Who Cavorts In Pleasure Palaces And Resorts! God Is Your Friend BUT You And God Are Not Company!" I Could Go On But YOU Get The Drift, Right?! The One Thing That Stood Out From Granny's Lecturing Was This: "God - Almighty God The Holy God Is The God Of Order The God In Whom There Is No Shadow Of Turning! His Word Is Who He Is!" Well ... That Left Out All The Brand Name Church Gods! My Granny Had Given Me My King James Bible When I Reached The Age Of Understanding So ... I Prayed AND Daily Read My King James Bible!
After A While ... Because I Was Sincerely Seeking The True And Only Holy God I Received "The Call!" AND Accepted A Place In The Class Of "The God Not Popular!" Who Desires Self-Denial Obedience Confession Of Sin Repentance Baptism By Immersion AND Standing Up For Jesus! AND I Am Happy! I Walk With The King! I Walk With The God Eternal!
I was walking on Up to God I met Man He called Me: "Friend!!" He implored Me to walk with him for He knew of all of Life's Best Short-cuts to Journey's End! He said he had been on Up to God before and He beguiled Me With much lying and lore, and I was mesmerized As He told me of what it was I was in for! I had been warned But I listened and strayed My walk on Up to God Was delayed. Delayed! I was regaled with stories of Hate and Love Needs and Greed He had a Great Knack I ate swallowed his prepacked Snack! I walked on in Myself I didn't look in I didn't look back To see that True Companion Was trailing ... bloody, and crying! I - for a while - lived With Company of Lies I was motivated by The Lord of The Dung Flies! I lived High I partied Low I laid on the Ground I rolled around in mud and loved in black snow! My New Friends had No Morals They smelled of The Flame I didn't ... I didn't care! I really should have known That Sweet Life doesn't last It ends in a casket or In a full body cast! There were Regrets and Recriminations Vexations Lost Relations, and Crying, and much wishing For the Good that was and is now ... past! My Day of Reckoning came My Excuse for Folly? - It was lame! I lived by My flesh, My eyes I lived for the Praise of the In-World Game! As for He Who Led Me To Stray He was laughing - and pointing - at My Decay And calling Me Fool After CONvincing Me that his Way of Life Was happening, and way, way, cool! It was then I saw My True State I was inside the Pig Gate Eating that which made the Scavenger Swine salivate! I thought of on My Father Who His Servants fed! Those Servants had much For He did Reward And I said in My Heart:
"I will go back to My Father
As His Servant, today!
I know He will Forgive!
He will help and heal My Decay!"
Loaded Down ... Dirty as I was I ran toward Home! I couldn't stay away, and My Father met Me in on The Way! I cried, and I said:
"Father! Forgive Me!
I strayed, and really played!
I wasted My Substance on with The Fraud
Who cast me aside!
Father! He lied and lied
And I have been burnt!
Heal Me!
Help Me!
To You, My Lord, I return
For, Life Lesson, though hard
I have assuredly learnt!"
My Father washed Me - I was Renewed! My Father clothed Me - the World I eschewed! I walk ... NOW On The True and Holy Way I live for My Father He's My Lord - The Light of The Way! I have #TheRewardsOfTheSaints:
Peace
Love
Joy
Hope
Provision
Help of The Angels
and
Saving by The Blood
The Spirit is My Comfort and My Stay!
What more can I say?!
I shall - in Jesus' Faith - Stay in The Fight! I shall - with His Blessing - walk Faithfully into The Night And on The Great Day Coming very soon I shall Rise Up - Glorified To The Heavenly Reward Way beyond the Big Moon!
