Well ... Work: A Servant Unto God

A Christian is a Servant

A Servant unto God

His Task is to Seek After - and Do - The Will of The Master

And not Butt About Seeking Fleeting Reward!

Serving is not given unto Slacking

Serving is not Slaving, My Friend

Serving is a Blessed Duty

Provisioned with Care and Great Love from The Eternal Friend!

Our Duty is Not That which is Man-made

Which speaks of a Grudging Display

Our Duty is such as behooves One

Constant and instant in Prayer.

Let us not seek to Shirk Duty

Hoping Someone Else will do The Work

Our Task is Appointed -  Accept It!

Get Up Now, and let us Get To Our Work!

Think not of Rewards and Accolades

Think Honorable Service unto Rest

For The Day is Soon Coming

When All God's Faithful Servants

Will Receive The Reward of The Home of The Blessed!

Don't be an Unfaithful Servant

Unprofitable

Unthankful

Lazy

Given unto Greed

For there is None who Work for King Jesus

Whom he does not Daily Feed!

Seek No Reward at This Juncture

Seek not Earthly Accolades

Seek not Treasure in Earthen Vessels

Which Grow Putrid with Rust and Decay!

God Himself is The Rewarder of All Men

Each According to His Own Works

There are No Perks for Extra Service

There are No Rewards for Dishonest Jerks!

Work ...  for The Night is Coming

When All Who Work Will Rest

Repent of Known Sin

Confession is To The King

Who knows, Sees and Is In Everything!

*******

WORK and FAITH

FAITH and WORK

One Without The Other

Ain't Never Gonna Work!

*******

Faith and Work

 Must Walk Side By Side

And 

The One Who Carries The Worker

Will In The Faithful Worker Abide!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: The Returning

The Soldiers had Returned!

The Waiting Families had been Unexpecting That Day

But

Knowing that Some Day

Their Heroes would Re-appear, and

The Sounds of Rejoicing

At 
The Unexpected Appearance

Wrung 
From Each Heart

Its Purest Welcome in The Day!

I sat and watched

All The Soldier Family Reunions!

I shed many tears

Of Joy and Gladness with Them

And - Then - I Thought

Of The Day when I would See My Jesus!

Oh, What Rapturous Joy

With which My Heart Will Sing

Upon My Beholding My - The Eternal - King!

My Lord and My God

My Savior Redeemer

My Salvation

My Provider

My Friend

My Hope

My Joy

The Promised Crown

The Glorious Home

The Grand Triumphal Procession

The Opening Of The Gates

The Thrilling of The Redeemed Ones' Song!

My Heart Can Wait!

I Will Wait - My Heart Expectant

Not Knowing The Date

But Knowing ... The Day Will Come

When The Blessed Hope

Of Glory

Will Be Realized

and 
All The Suffering, Pain and Shame

Will Be Removed

From Heart, Body and Soul, Spirit and Eyes!

My Lord is Coming!

He Will Not Be Silent and

Neither, Neither Will I

For He Is The One That My Longing Soul Awaits!

My Tears Will Be Joy!

My Love Will Have Explosion

and

I Shall Arise!

I SHALL ARISE

and

To Holy Heaven - To Paradise

Rise!

You May Fall

It Will Not Be Fatal

IF

Jesus Christ's Holy Spirit

Walk By Faith

As 
TODAY

He You Calls!!

*******

A Living Faith Does Not Trust Dying Eyesight!

A Dying Eye By Faith Trusts He Who Made The Eye!

Further To Turning Your Eyes Upon ... Jesus: KNOWING HIM!

For more years than I care to recall, I have Stated that I am no one's Favorite Child!

I have also long stated that I have no Expectation of an Inheritance from Anyone
And
That the Only Thing that my Grandmother gave to Me was My Faith in Jesus Christ!

I have also made it Abundantly Clear to anyone who will Listen that There is No Human who can Give Another Human...  FAITH!!

A.  I have never seen Jesus BUT I know Him... Intimately. How?

I had a client 30+ years ago,  whom I have never seen,  who became my dearest friend, and who became my son's God-parent.  How?

I gave birth to a child who did not "know" me but who,  as he grew,  no matter how late I got home,  which was very often 7-10 hours AFTER the regular close of business, or how tired he was,  or who else was around to take care of him,  would not rest or sleep,  until I reached home and he could hear, and smell me.  Why?

My son grew, went to preschool.  I started keeping more normal hours and whenever I reached home he was waiting,  all excited,  waiting for something!

I always had something to give him every single day without failure. How did he know? Why the Expectation?

And,  as he grew older, he never asked what did I get him. Why?

Where did The Faith come from?

I have been privileged to hear my son publicly say that I have never lied to him. Why?

I have been blessed to hear my son say that he can trust me to always tell him the Truth. Why?

What is there in the Communion of The Soul and The Savior, and Communication of Trust by Way of Faith through Trust that causes Faith?

What is The Tone Heard or Felt?

What is The Scent Fragranced?

Do we Love through our Noses?

Do we Trust through our Ears? (Faith Comes by Hearing!)

IS Faith on or in The Skin?

Why do Some have Faith and Others don't?

Who do Some Doubt and Others don't?

In My Personal Journey on The Road to Salvation,  I can say,  without fear of Contradiction, I have always felt Safe with Jesus.

I have walked,  often,  in my own Way BUT I have always felt Safer walking and talking with Jesus.

Somehow,  I always knew I had a Safe Haven in The Savior.

Everyday I knew I would receive something.  What? Don't know.  Can't tell.  But... Something!

Sometimes, especially in times of Waywardness and times of Deep Distress,  Lonesomeness and Quietness, and even Happiness I would Feel,  Sense,  even Become Aware of a Warm and Comforting Presence.

I would find myself Suddenly Smiling without External Input.

I would find myself stopping my current activity, and turning my head and Listening.

I have found My Self by Myself Answering ... Aloud ... The Unspoken Heard Question.

I have Chosen to Trust Who I can't See but Who I Know.

Jesus said: "ALL that The Father hath GIVEN to Me WILL COME TO ME...! "

Jesus IS The Rose of Sharon.

Who does not want to nose The Fragrance of The Graceful Rose,  and be Caressed by The Velvet of its Petals?

Who will not brace the Tear of The Rose's Thorns to be The Possessor of The Beauteous Bloom of The Heir... Loom?

Do we not Recognize Truth even when it Comes from an Unknown Source?

Why then, would we not Accept Truth and Love, and Love and Trust The Source of Our Creation who, Assuredly, left His Maker Mark in Every Soul?

Just like every cellphone has a Manufacturer Unlock Code, so do Humans.

There are those of us who, after three or six months of use, call The Phone Company. and request The Unlock Code BECAUSE we wish, at our own Say-so to Go to Another Wireless Service Provider IF The Current Provider does not Meet Our Needs.

Some of us just Want The Code because we can have it and can Jump Ship At Will.

Some of us Don't Care to Change, or Move, or Know how to Move. 

We are SATISFIED WITH JESUS.

Having Been Turned On by The Originator IS Enough.

We will Stay The Distance by Faith.

*******

Does not Jesus say: "My Sheep KNOW My VOICE!?"

Turn Your Eyes Upon ... Jesus!

The Flash was Bright
The Spectacle Light
And that Light
Behind Darkest Dimmers 
Fair to Right Blinded Me!

The Spectacle
That Show
The Purveyors of Sin Heaven Knows
Fair Left Me To Truth Disoriented
As Living Swill to Me 
They Unrelentingly 
Daily Presented!

Pretty, Pretty, Light!!
Those Colors
Strobing 
Stroking Me
In My Dark Night
Instead of Guiding My Footsteps Aright
To My Death and 
Eternal Destruction
Led Me
Stomach Roiling
Steps Wobbling
To The Precipice Drear and
I Know ... Desperation!
I Know ... Fear!

In My Sorrows and
In Fear
In Desperation of Soul
I Will Declare
I Called and
I Called Out:

"IS Anyone ...

IS A Savior ...

Near?!"

"No one could be here!

Oh,  Lord, I'm Alone!

Who will Care for This One

Lost ... and so Very Alone?"

And in My Own Last Strength

Huh?!?

I Heard ... ¿??!¿!

I Heard Me a Quiet Voice:

"Turn Your Eyes Toward My Voice!

Look Upon Me - Even Though You Can't See!

I Have True Light and

I Provide Peace and

I Offer Rest!

I Offer You My Living Place 

So

Look in Faith

Toward The Cleft In The Rock - Follow My Voice!

Hold Out Your Hand!

Don't Look Down!

Don't Look Around!

Reach for Me!

I AM Holding You!

You Can't Fall!

My Grip is Everlasting Sound

Heaven Strong

By Grace - Profound

And FYI, It Is Eternity Long!

Trust Me!

I Can't Let You Drown!"

He'd said: "Turn!"

I Physically Turned My Body and 
Looked ...

He said:  "Look Upon ...!"

I looked Up and 
Locked On!

MY Eyes ...
It is My Decision
To Trust Him
Whom I Can't Physically See, See!
If I don't - I'm Already Dead Anyway!
What He's Saying 
Sounds Like Love To Me!

I Must Say I have
My Death to Lose and
His Life to Gain
IF
IF
IF
I
DO
What He - The Voice
In My Dark Light
Night Blindness
Says!

I Squeezed My Blind Eyes
Tight Shut!

He IS Talking to Me!

I hold My Breath for
I am Listening!

The Lord Must Be Here
In The Depths of This Hell Where I Be
Surrounded by a Light by which I can't See
So
I Reached Out!

The Great Hand - I Feel It
IS Touching 
Holding 
Carrying Me!

I Opened My Eyes!
Lord of Heaven!
It's Indeed Jesus Christ
The Author Finisher of My Little Faith!

I Bless Him and Confess
That 
Without Him 
I'd be a Crumpled, Dead Mess!

I'm Glad I Answered His Call and 
Got Off
The Hell-Spun
Stomach-churning
Head-Spinning 
Soul-darkening 
Disco Ball!

Turning Our Eyes Upon Jesus 

Literally Means 

Turning Our Backs To The World

Taking Our Sight Away from What Is Only At Our Feet

And 

Casting Our Gaze Upon Him Who Lifts Our Heads

And 

Will Carry Us - Bodily - Home To His Glory

And

Hanging On To Him

for

Eternal Life!

*******

Drop The Brassy Ring

and

Hold Out Your Heart

for

Your Gold Crown!

*******

Look Up

and

Depend On Jesus 

and 

YOU WILL LIVE!!

The Mocking Birds Sing!

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:

"Sin for Sin Today is Subjective

Sin before The Lord and then Pray

Sing to The Lord - He Bought Your Pardon

Sin - for Jesus Christ Your Debt Already Paid!"

Come, Lord Jesus!!
