I Remember Singing On Sabbath As A Child
"If You Want Joy
Real Joy
Wonderful Joy
Let Jesus Come Into Your Heart!"
The Chorus Continued To Speak About
Our Nights Being Turned To Day
Our Sins Being Washed Away
And
Our Lives Being Made Over Anew!
Beloved,
When A Sentence Starts With An
"If You Want ..."
There Is The Real Possibility That
You Don't Want The Thing On Offer!
For The One Seeking The Lord At This Time
When He Is To Be Found
Honest Questions Seeking Knowledge
To Make The Informed Decision
Regarding The New Life In Christ Are Acceptable!
For The Christian Who Has Had Long Experience With
And
Ample Proof Of
The Goodness, Mercy, Love, And Grace Of The Lord
But, Why, What For, When, Where, And The Like
Have That Sulphurous Stench Of Doubt!
The Lord Jesus Christ Makes It Plain That
He Has Nothing For Those
Who Choose Not To Exercise Faith In Him
And, Instead
Indulge Decimating Doubt!
Are You Living As A Candle
Glowing Or Guttering
According To The Winds Of Change
And
The Flavors Of The Moment
Being Sold At The Fad Farm Or Ego Emporium!?!
Fads Fail
And
Ego Goes Overboard!
Slow, Sure, Steady, With Staying-Power
And
With Saints Sealed And Saved
Is
The Expected End Of The Life Committed To Christ!
Faith Equips All Of Us Who Are Willing
To Endure And Excel
In The Journey To Joy In Jesus
Which Continues Onward And Upward
With The Joyous Celebration
In New Jerusalem!
Joy Is A Precious Gem!
Dare To Find And Hold Your Treasure!
Peace!
