I heard The Chorus Singing A Pretty Little Song And when The Song was finished I felt my mouth hanging down! The Song was One Quite Ordinary No Gymnastics Particular The Singers - They Floored Me For they were Peacocks, and Canaries, and a couple Clowns! Now, I am Sure that you are Aware That Peacocks Look Pretty and Canaries Sing Pretty And when they are in Communion They are Irresistible to Lustful Human Soul's Ear!
"Sing for Sin Today is Subjective
Sing before The Lord and then Pray
Sing to Lord - He Bought Your Pardon
Sing - for Jesus Christ Your Debt Already Paid!"
I am not going to Belabor You with Why's and Wherefore's I am not going to Tickle You nor Torment I am just going to Lay It Straight for You And Invite You to Offer Your Comment! The Chorus in The Church was Singing Pretty Preacher was Pastoring The Flock The Prophet had been Asked if The Lord has Sent A Message And The People had had Themselves A Good Shout! But... It was at The Particular Singing That The Mocking Birds Outdid The Chorus That Day And that is when I Gained Clear Focus On what it is All The Choir Birds Did Really Say:
Death and Destruction - The Order of The Day! Chaos and Corruption - The Vaunted Way! Destabilization Gymnastics - No Matter What They Say The Innocents Are The Ones Who Usually Pay! Life is Not a War Game Played by Foolish Boys! Life is No Tea Party With Silly Girls and Made Up Toys! Real Life is Real Hard - Relentless and Vindictive Masterminded by Mayhem - Motivated by Hate Covering an Unholy Quest for False and Fleeting Joys! Oh, Lord, The Trafficking is Relentless!! Oh, Lord, The Cry of Pain - even Death - is Common Heard The People, Lord, as Merchandise Bought and Sold on The World's Exchanges Are Being Robbed of Their Soul's Salvation By The Dying God of The World Hell-bent on Gaining An Army of Warriors Against Jesus - by Default! Father, I'm Pleading for Your People Whom You Promised to Protect! You Promised My Master, Jesus He would not lose One Soul, and He Promised He will Not One Comer Eject! Give us Your Grace, Lord To Daily Make Our Commitment To Stand Firm in The Lord Father, Help Us Ever Sin to Reject!
I did not Commit a Sin That Day! I did something Worse! I committed a Self, My Friend Which proved to be much like The Curse! I did not break any Laws of God I did not Lie I did not Cheat I did not Steal But what I did that day Revealed A side of Me I Openly Concealed! I found out that I Reverence The Living God Upon My Currently Available Terms! I allowed That Sotto Voce To Dictate when how I would Enter in Sweet Communion with My King. Well, you may ask Why The Big Deal? Is not God always there? Oh, yes, He is! But that's not The Point! I have set aside His Special Time Where I rest in Him And we Commune - Love and Talk! Let me try to Explain Better Using a computer game as Analogy: I had a scheduled appointment with Jesus My heart and my head were prepared We got together as determined No bells, no whistles No fanfare. During our normally scheduled appointment Worldly pursuits and considerations were put away This Time Is for Recharging The Soul's Batteries So that Life would not drown me in The Rolling Waves! In the Midst of our Appointment A Bright Button interrupted The Blessed Flow I Interrupted Pray and Praise with My Jesus To check how many of My Electronic-Game-Lives Time had graciously Restored! As if that were not Sufficiently Egregious Checking The Game Turned into Full Game Play And even though I could hear The Holy Spirit calling I Permitted Self's Sotto Voce To Decide Whom I Diligently Worshiped and At whose Altar I Fervently Prayed! I take it back! What I said earlier About not having Committed any Sin Nor broken any Laws! The First Commandment I did break Choosing The Game-God Loving The Fake! Problem is when Electronic-God took my Electronic-Lives I Returned to Jesus Christ with Burning Eyes And He Accepted Me As I proffered banalities and Uttered platitudes as if Jesus Christ did not have All-seeing, All-knowing, Ever-present eyes. Well, let me tell you The Outcome of That Debacle! I have never felt more Adrift from God than I did That Day! I felt like I had Disappointed, Even Lost My Best Friend And, Believe Me, The Incident Something Precious did Me truly Cost! I tried to Rationalize My Game-Play I tried asking Myself Why such a Big Deal over a "Stupid Game!" But, try as I might, I couldn't get my Living Spirit to feel Right For it was as though I had Permitted My Blessing from God to be A "NO Show!" Dear Ones: This Real Life Is No Computer Simulation! There are Real Souls, Real Threats, Real Prizes, Real Deaths and Real Rewards! The Real Difference between The Real Computer and Your Real Life Is that Real Death without a Real Commitment to The Real Jesus Leaves One without The Real Benefit of The Eternal's Real Life Regeneration Cord, and Award, and Reward! Anything in Our Lives That causes Our Eyes To Look Away from Jesus Christ IS Our New God, Compliments of The Fraud! So, Give it Up, and Look Up! Call to Jesus - He'll get you off It's Hook, and With Eternal Blessings, He will Fill You Up! Tell It To Jesus!
Some people walk a mile in shoes and Some people can't walk! Some people cry foul at going to work in the rain and Some people would die for a fowl, and work, and rain! Some people give a helping hand and Some people just wash their hands! Some people see with their eyes and Some people see with their hearts! Some people have hearts for God and Some people have Godless hearts! Some people Try and Some people are Tried! Some people love hate and Some people hate love! Some people stink and grow rich and Some people richly grow despite the stink! AND ... Some people kill cockroaches while Some people behave like cockroaches! NOW, THERE ARE ... Some people who love Jesus Christ BUT Jesus Christ loves all people! Some people who will be killed for Jesus Christ BUT Jesus Christ was killed for all people! Some people who will be saved by Jesus Christ BUT Jesus Christ can save all people! Some people who will meet Jesus Christ in Peace BUT Jesus Christ is Peace for all People! Some people will Trust Jesus Christ and won't personally pay for Sin BUT Jesus Christ will cause all people who don't Trust Him to Pay for Their Own Sin! Some people who are expecting Jesus Christ to Return for them in all His Glory BUT Jesus Christ's Return for some people will be unexpectedly gory! Some People Act Good Some People Act Badly, and Some People Act Every Day As if Crime and Sinning IS Truly The Way to Play! BUT ... There is The Message Which Must be Told! The Winds of Strife Are Blowing soon Hot to Bold And Those without The Covenant of Peace Will Suffer Lost when The Winds be Fully Released Plainly Exposing The Dreadful Beast! The Holy Spirit Is Calling TODAY!! Answer! Answer! Please Don't Delay! Now is The Accepted Time! Fight Sin - Get Jesus Christ! He Will Save Save You for He Is Kind and Divine! Salvation IS Free For You and for Me Bought and Paid for by Eternal Love It Fits Each Soul like A Custom-made Glove!
I Like God! He is My Friend On Whom I Can Depend! I Like God! Seriously, I Really Like God! "Strange Expression, don't you Think!?!" No! No! Not at all! Think about this: The people with whom I choose to associate are the people I really like, respect, trust, find companiable, comforting, helpful, comfortable, resourceful, loving, funny, smart, and trustworthy. We are the same things to each other, and we love each other enough to like being in each other's company ... all the time! And ... we are all-around good people, with character and faith in The True and Living God. Look at God:
Faithful
Merciful

God Knows The Best Ways for Me to Walk, all The Best Places where I May Lay My Head, Sets The Best Table, Guards Against Enemy Attacks, and knows where The Living Waters Flow, AND He Gives Me Life! Best of All, because He does not Pry, and Waits to be called, and is Always Available on Demand, I share things with Him that I will not Share with Another Living Soul, knowing full well that He will not "Desert Me" by Reason of my Weaknesses, and Bad Temper, and Lying, and Cheating and Stealing and Daily Fornications and Adulteries! God Listens and He Counsels, but there have been times when He put His foot down and Chastised Me, and stated clearly: "Don't Do That! That is Not The Way for You!" He doesn't leave Me to "Figure it out!" for Myself! He Teaches Me The Right Way, and Helps Me to Walk in it! We have had a few dust-ups over the years, though and, believe me, things were pretty bad for a while! You see, I wanted to do something that God - Repeatedly - told me not to do, and I got on my high horse, and called Him a few unflattering descriptives and went on my merry way and did my own thing and paid ... BIG TIME!! I was totally ticked off at God after that Debacle! "How could You let me do that?! How could You let that happen to me?! Why didn't You stop Me?! I thought you were My Friend!" Want to hear what He said: "Beloved, you have Free Will and Free Choice! I will Never Force you to do The Right Thing! I will Chastise, and Plead, and Love, and Call you BUT I will let you Decide AND whatever The Decision is that you make, I will be here Waiting for you when you call!" His Answer totally took The Wind out of my Overblown Sails! One day, I told Him that I gave Him Permission to yank Me back when He sees me going Astray and, do you know what? He has taken that request to His Heart, and He sticks closer to me that even my brother can! It is Amazing! On another occasion, we were Talking, and I Wondered how He could be Satisfied to be Always Giving Me Blessings for which I could Never Repay Him?! Do you know what He said! "I Love You! It is Enough that you Desire to be with Me, and are always Talking Intimately with Me, willing to Follow My Lead, and that you Trust Me, and are Walking - Faithfully ... Steadfastly - on The Highway To Heaven, as you Learn and Grow from Following The Way as Set Forth in My Family Book of Gifts that I Gave to you!" My Heart Leaped!
*******
God makes me Laugh - often!
God makes me Think - all the time!
In God, My Life is Complete
By God, I Stand Firmly on My Feet
With God, Bitter Tastes Sweet
For God Has Made Heaven The Prize
To Those who Faithfully Compete!
I Like God
He Is Wise
Uses No Lies
Plans No Way-out Strategies
Wisdom Is His Eye
I Can On Him Rely
By His Grace I Can Satan Defy
With His Mercy
In The Great By and By
I Will Live Forever
Winging To Worlds
Which Imaginings Can't Prophesy!
I Like God!
This Is Not About Obligatory Love
This Is Friendship ... And Beyond
He Called Himself My Friend - Unto The End
And Sought Me Out When I Faced Harm
He Looks Out For Me - Day and Night
He Fights For Me - Dissolving The Blight
He Died For Me - To Give Me His Light
He Carries Me - When Cares Benight
He Comforts Me - When I Take A Fright
He Watches Me - I Am Ever In His Eyesight
And Because Of His Sacrificial Love
I Shall Gain The Winner's Wreath At The End Of The Fight!
