HAPPY SABBATH + OPTIONS: Gross Ingratitude! + PRAYER: Father, Grant Me Enough

Think About This:

I don't Have The Extra Cash
To Purchase The Extra Clothing that I Don't Need!
I don't Have The Extra Cash
To Buy that Nice Pair of Shoes
That do My Eyes so Please
And
Because of The Shortfall
In The Extra
I Feel Like
My World is Falling Apart!

Father, Help me,  please!

I Listened to My Self 
Bemoaning My Lack
My Worldly Shortfall and 
Wondered at The Gross Ingratitude
Of Us Children of The Fall!

I Decided to Catalog My Benefits
I Decided to Deal in The Facts
To Seek 
To Know 
All of My Needs Lacking
And Have a Father Child Meeting 
With 
The Lord!

CHECK THIS OUT:

Food - Abundance 
Shelter - Adequate
Clothing - Necessary

Family - Good
Friends - Faithful
Work - Fulfilling

Water - Clean
Bed - Comfortable
Book - The Word True

THERE IS:

Sugar
Lime Juice
Lemon Juice
Butter
Flour
Eggs
Nuts - Various
Dried Fruit
Fresh Fruit
Real Essence
Onions
Peppers
Seasonings
Veggies - Fresh, Canned, Frozen
Potatoes
Meat Mock or Real
Fish Imitation or Scaled
Peppermint
Ginger
Sorrell
And, More ...!

HMMM ...

THIS, THEREFORE, MEANS THAT ...

I can Freely Cook a 

"Whatever I Want to Eat Meal" meal!

I can Freely Bake an

"I Feel Like Cake" cake!

I can Freely Prepare an 

"I Feel Like  Drinking a Hot Cold Beverage" beverage!

And 

I Do Not Have To Beg nor Plead and Pray For Them!

POINT IS:

I've Got Options
One,  Two and Three!
I may Eat and Sleep
At Leisure
Not Sharing My Bed with Woolly Sheep!

I can Buy Myself a Candy
Of My Choosing
Whether I Eat it or Not, and 
If My Nose Starts Running
I have Tissues to wipe away the snot!

I am Not Forced to Contend with The Elements
Savory
Unsavory
Natural or
Man-made, and
I Say My Prayers Whenever I Want to, and 
I'm Not Afraid of Being Sold as a Sex Slave!

I can Fellowship with Whomever I Want to!
I can Call a Brother or a Sister
To Ask For or Say Prayers!
I can Sleep Late
Rise Early
Walk,  Run
Have Fun - if I Feel like it, and 
I don't Need Courage as Found in a Pill or Bottle of Rum!

I've Got Options!
I've Got a Craft!
I Can Make a Warm Gift for Some-Anybody!

I've Got Skill in My Hands
Sight in My Eyes
Ears that Hear
I can Talk
Touch
Feel
See
Because Jesus Created Me
And 
He Saved Me
By 
Dying on The Accursed Tree!

My Options are Open but 
I think I will them Close
And Learn Gratitude to God
IS Good and Even Great, and
Appreciate Appreciate!

Extra Cash would be Great, too
But, Know What?
I'd be a Regulation Fool
If I don't Give God Thanks
For Giving Me
Much, and More!

So ...

Father, 

Thanks!

Thanks!

I Give You Thanks

and 

Look to The Day

When We Will Walk Together 

On The Banks

Of The River

Where

Needing Wanting and Thinking Extra

Have No Bearing Body nor Rank!

Grant Me Enough 

Today

For My Self, and Another

This, Father, I Pray!

Let Me Be Contented

With Whatever I've got

And 

Help Me to Never Ever

Look Back

And 

Lose All

Like The Wife of Lot!

I Love You, Lord!

You Are My All and All!

AMEN.

Giving Thanks! + Prayer: Thank You, Lord!

T rust The King of

G rabbing Hold and Giving

I nside Track Toward
N egating Your Blessed
G oal of Gaining God's Glory!

I am Thankful Today
God Gave Me a Way
To have My Death Sentence
Commuted
To Eternal Life
In God's Paradise
By My Acceptance of
Jesus' Gift of Soul Salvation
Wrapped in Enveloping Grace
Tied with Merciful Cords
Stamped with Everlasting Love
Security-Sealed by The Holy Spirit and
Guarded by The Angelic Host
Who Mark The Steps of The Faithful!

I am Thankful to Know that
God's Love is not Show
But Substantial Enough to
Keep Me Safe
Secure
Satisfied and
My Spirit Saintly Serene
Never Living in Lack
Nevermore to Sin Willfully Turning Back
Nor letting Satan have Dominion Over Me when he Attacks!

I am The King"s Pet
My Salvation is Set and
My Maker is Leading The Way!
By Grace I Will Stand
On Heavens Table Land
And I shall Sing
Gratefully Sing
In Zion's Over-comers and Redeemed Ones Band!

Thank You, Lord

For Your Blessings Today!

Thank You, Lord

For Paying and Paving My Way!

Thank You, Lord

For Jesus Christ

The Answer Always!

Thank You, Lord!

Thank You, Lord!

Thank You!

Jesus Christ IS Our Perfection!

Some Parents Give Up Some Things of Life

So that their Children may Be Something in Life!

Some Parents Give Up their Lives

So that One Child might Survive!

Some Parents Barter their Lives

So that their Children may have Things!

Some Parents Sacrifice Everything in Life

So that One Child may Succeed!

Some Parents Sacrifice their Children on The Altar of Personal Success!

Some Parents Sacrifice Health to Raise their Children!

Some Parents Are ... Some Parents!

Some Parents are Parents
Some Parents are Not
Some Parents Make Some Parents
Wish
Their Babies could be Bought!

Jesus Loves His Children
For Them He was Callously Sold
For 30 Pieces of Silver
Not even Good and Precious Gold!

Jesus' Life was made Forfeit
They Took It But He Gave It Away
So that Not one Faithful Child
Would For His Own Sin
Have to Eternally Pay
Or
From Heaven Be Turned Away!

Jesus Christ Gave Up His Life
On The Altar of Sacrifice for Sin
So that All who Would Be His Children
Would have His Eternal Life of Everlasting Things!

Bought and Paid For - Sacrificed
Jesus IS Living Still and
The King
Captain and
Commander, and
Righteous Ruler of Everything!

So The Point of This Here Missive 
IS
Earthy Parents are - In Everything - Flawed
Jesus Christ Isn't for 
He's is Our Perfection
And
Our Loving and Almighty God!

** Trust in God! **

Jesus Died

After

Sacrificing His All

to

Give Us All

All of His Good 

and 

Truly Perfect Things!

He Is Coming For Me 

and 

He Is Coming For You!

PERSONAL PUZZLER: Name That Sin!

Feint Faint Praise!!

"I ain't waiting for no man to Praise Me!
I Trumpeting Myself!
I know that I am Good and Praise-Worthy, and
God got Me to help He with the Big Elf!"

"I don't Sin!
I Gave Up The World Things!
My Tongue is The Bible!
My Words are Wisdom Made of Precious Pearls - Gospel!
My Walk is Sure and Unerring -  direct to Zion!
My Robe is Reserved, and
I even got Myself My Own Church of The Bridegroom!"

"IS that right?!"

"Aren't All Men Liars?

Aren't The Thoughts of The Heart Deceitful Always?

Doesn't The Bible Say That any Man that Says he doesn't Commit Sin

Makes God a Liar?!"

"Well, that was meant for "Those Other people"
I have Set Aside The Things of The Flesh!
I haven't Committed a Sin in Known nor Recent Memory
And I Daily at Myself in The Mirror look in!"

"I am Perfect!
I'm Perfection Personified and
Personable and
Pleasing to Pass By!
I'm Proud to be a Peculiar Person
Practicing Peace, and
With Particular Pleasure
Putting Pride and
Patience in a Pin Vise -
I am a Bright Star - no Dew on My Fleece!"

"Jesus and Me are Partners
Friends
Bosom Buds!
I get Visions and Revelations, and
I does Prophesy and Divine Things for The Peoples (for a lil' something, of course!)
Jesus know me up Close and Personal!
I have an Inside Track, and
We fit like Hand and Glove!"

Doesn't The Bible Talk about False Prophets

And Lying Divinations?

"I used to be an Active Sinner
I now wear with Pride My "New Man!"
Jesus knows that He can Depend on Me and
I's He Second Man!

I a'int like that Paul
Doing what he
Ain't want to, and
Not doing what 'e should!

I don't Operate like People like You
Jealous and Envious of The Gift!
I does hear The Spirits talking
I stand Tall ... Unshakable
Immovable
Like a strong Mountain Range, and
There Is No Way that I could ever Fall!"

Which "Spirits" do you hear?

I hope not the "Familiar Spirits!?

"I got Big Faith
Not nae-nae Faith like Some People
Fussy about them Mustards, uhm, seeds!
I got it going on
From Dusk until Dark
From Dark until Dawn!
I got This!
Look at Me
I Near to like God!"

What is Wrong 

with 

This-Here Story

Which is Grating 

on 

The Last Nerve 

and 

Decidedly in The Wrong Way?!

Put On Your Thinking Cap

Fill In The Gaps

and

Give This Person a Good Bible-Verse Slap!

Name That Sin!

Jesus Means It!

Jesus says He loved Me
He Means it!
Jesus went to The Cruel Cross
The Sin Nails made sure He Felt it!
Jesus Paid My Price
He couldn't Help it!
Jesus' Death gives Me His Life
I don't Deserve It!

Jesus Called Me
I Answered!
Jesus Speaks to Me
I will Listen!
Jesus' Blood Washes Clean - I Bathed this Morning!
And
He'll Give Me The Returning King's Clean Clothes for My Adorning
At The Start of Eternity
Come The Great Judgment Morning!

Jesus Loves Me - It is No Show
Preparations in Heaven
Prove that That is So
I'll have a New Home
On The Golden Way
And neither Sin,  Death nor Hell
By Jesus' Faith
Will Stop Me from
Living Over There!

Love Made It Clear
Jesus Died to Prepare The Way
I will be Faithful, and
Mercy, Grace, Love and Hope
Will Carry Me Safely Over There!

I Confess - I Sin
But ...
He is Faithful
He is Just
He Forgives,  and
He will Cleanse, and
I am Sure
My Unrighteousness will be Sloughed Away as Dust!

Jesus Love Me

And He Loves You, Too

Don't Let Anyone

Cause You to Doubt That Truth

Walk - But Not By Your Eyes

Trust Jesus - He IS True

Loving and Faithful

He Will Take Care of You!

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!

HAPPY SABBATH +The Way of Jesus Christ School

Looking for Jesus

IS the Right Thing to do

He has Eternal Life Waiting

To Present to Me and to You!

Longing for Jesus

IS the Right Thing to do

He Left Heaven

'Cause He Longed to Give Heaven to Me and to You!

Living for Jesus

IS The Right Thing to do

He Gave Up His Life

To Save Me and to Save You!

Learning of Jesus
At The Way of Jesus Christ School
Grants Students Great and Special Rights, and
Royalties are Set Aside
For Those who Study The Word by Day and by Night!

There is a Race for Life!
There is The Stay The Course Course
And Election and Perfection and
Pray and Fast Class and
There is Love The Lord to The Last and 
Burdens on Christ Jesus You Cast!

There is Burden for The Soul of The Outcast!
There are Vineyards and Fields Far-flung and Vast!
There is Turmoil and Temptation and 
Baptism By Fire Class
And There is Indwelling By The Holy Spirit
For those who Confession and Repentance Pass!

Jesus Christ Himself
IS The Principle Principle!
He is The Principal
The Pastor
The Lesson for Sure
And The Door
And The Lock Most Secure!

He is The Husbandman
The Shepherd
The Knocker on The Door
He is Seal and The Savior, and
The Boat and The Harbor and
The Sure Sheltered Shore!

Jesus Christ - Himself -  teaches The Way and
Brings Light and 
Holds Out for All The Eternal Life Light!
Jesus Christ - Himself - Demonstrates
How The Faithful Ones Should Fight
And He - Himself - also Demonstrates
How One in The Desert of Temptation should 
The Evil One Fight!

The Way of Jesus Christ School
Admits All Comers to The Light!
Nationality
Previous Spirituality
Not Color nor Speech
Nor Income and Education
Have Any Bearing At All as
Acceptance for Anyone Can't Ever Be Bought!

Each Student by Foreknowledge Father
IS Designated A Way
Wherein They Themselves
Will Work, Walk, and Witness as 
Tuition on The Faithful Pathway!

Some will be Christian: Martyr
Some will be Christian: Missionaries
Some will be Demonstrators of God's Love
Some will have Terrible Deprivations
But All Will Serve By Jesus Christ's Love, Love!

All Students in Holding Jesus' Hand
Will Intimately Know and Have Jesus' Peace
And All Who Daily Deny Self and Will
Will Decidedly Know and Feel Hate Unrelieved!

The Master of Mercy is Himself
The Teacher of Prayer!
He also Teaches Compassion and 
Blessings in Burdens Shared!

Lunch at The School
IS Served by Daily Grace and God's Love and
Strength For The Journey
Provides Courage For The Way Dessert Tubs!

Personal Support is Provided by Companions
Excelling in Strength
Who are Guardians and Protectors
But Not sThinkers on The Fence!
Whether by Cool Waters Running or
Rocky Rugged Roads
Whether Resting or Wrestling
They be There
Guiding
But Never Making You Their Way Go!

Many Students will Die During School Time
Before The Graduation Glory Day
But
All Faithful on Their Personal-End Earth Day
Will Rise Up Before those
Last Men Standing
At Christ Appears To Meet His Bride Happy Day!

BUT ...

Sadly, I Must Tell All Of You Living True
Of Those who Started School and 
Then Suddenly ... Withdrew!
Of Those who Refused to Be Seen with 
Sweet Jesus Christ Dear, and
Those Who Held  Satan as 
Their Lord and God Here!

Those Christ Deniers
Those Christian-Haters and
Persecutors and
Ridiculers Large
Torturers and Murderers
And Scoffers who Assuredly Knew
The Truth ... but
Chose The Lie
Who Will at The Appearing of Jesus Christ
Scream, Blubber and Cry for 
By Their Own Personal Choice
They Are Going To Eternally Die, and
The Remnant of God
Will - Church Triumphant -
To God's Glorious Glory
In Glorious Glory Glide!

God's Gift of Glorious Glory

Is For Those

Who Gladly and Gloriously Glorify God

By

God's Great and Glorious Grace

Under

The Agency of The Quiet Holy Spirit

By

The Risen Righteous and Reigning 

Jesus Christ's Living Holy Faith!

*******

LISTEN for Your Call

NOW Is Your Time-Ball

You May Stumble

You May Fall

It Will Not Be Fatal

IF

YOU ANSWER, ANSWER, ANSWER

Jesus Christ's Holy Spirit

And 
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!
