Her Advent came by Rape! Her? Her Mother Did Hate! She Did Not Know Her Ultimate Fate But Thankfully, Each day No Matter How Little or Late Her Mother Fed Her And She Gratefully Ate! She Spoke of A Life Sorely Lacking In Love! She Did Not Cry Nor Lament For The Unloving Mother Taught Her of The Living Holy God's Eternal Love! Strange - This Combination! The Unloving Teaching The Unloved of God's Love But This Jagged Circle Pointed To Jesus Christ ... and His Eternal Love And Heavenly Rest Up Above! In The Midst of The Muck That Man Calls His Life Is A Lily of Such Beauty That One Asks: "How Come?!" For Muck is Really Muddy And Muddy Water Is Really Unclean Yet
"Lily, Oh, Lily
Thy White Is Beautifully Pristine!"
The Bullied The Bothered The Hapless Lacking Hope All Know That - Even in War White is The Eternal Symbol for Hope And All That Walk Under That Banner So Clean Know With A Certainly That Their Freedom Is Keenly Seen! Jesus Christ IS The White Lily! The Visible Symbol for Hope! Looking Unto Jesus Sinner Savage All Through Jesus Will Cope With The "Accident" Called Birth The Circumstance Called Living Life And The Situations in Daily Living's Strife! All Will Survive Their "Humiliations" IF ... IF ... Jesus Christ IS The Leader of Their Life! Rapes! Denigrations! Whoredoms And Idolatries! All Will be Fixed By Faith in The White Lily Who Is The Bright and Morning Star Who Left The Kingdom of His Light To Bring Give Hope To a Fallen People On a Far Distant Shore Where Life is Oft' Bogged Down Where Friendship is Oft' Silver-Coined Death Where Creatures Killed Creator Where Seeking Hungry Souls Can Be Filled Where The Fullness of Time was Fulfilled Where Time Himself called "Time!" Where The Sacrifice of Innocent for Guilty Was Executed by The Guilty of Gross Sin! BUT Where, Also Despite The Downside Of Denials There is The Upside The Upside Called Hope! There Is Hope for All Who Believe That That White Lily Standing Out Over In The Dirty Dirt IS The Answer The Means Whereby Sinking Ships Overladen Anchored Heavily By Sin Can By The Belief and Faith Offering Rise Up and Gallant Float!
I Live and I Breathe! I Off-gas and I Sneeze! With The Right Stimulus I Might Even Laugh Until I Wheeze! I May Even Think That I Can Do What I Please BUT ... I Am Christian So I Go To God Heart Bowed - Asking for "Help!" If He Doth Please! No Need for Groveling Nor Lying Promises To Urge His Relief For He IS Truth AND He Can Me Renew For He IS Faithful, and His Words Are True! Only The God of All Grace Can Look At The Vile Sinner And Say:
Mercy On The Scale Is Given As One Doth Hope! This Matter Is One Serious To The Unbeliever for How Will He In Dread Times Cope?!? I Was Once The Unbeliever! I Had No Faith Of My Own! I Was The Believer By Proxy And Proximity To My Granny's Belief In The God Reigning On Heaven's Throne! With The Passage of Time And Old Granny I Needed To Own My Own Faith To Face My Own Known Fears And It Was At This Time Of Decision That The Words In Granny's Gift Bible Did To Me In My Reality Did Appear!
18 Behold, the eye of the Lord
is upon them that fear him,
upon them that hope in his mercy;
22 Let thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us,
according as we hope in thee.
Psalms 33:18, 22 KJV
First I Feared The Eye Looking! Then I Was Fearful Of What The Eye Was Seeing! Then I Was Frightened Of My Fear For I Remember Granny Saying, Repeatedly: "Jesus IS The Friend Of Little Children! " So, I Was Then Wondering: "Jesus? Would You Be My Friend?!" But, then, Being Human, and Knowing Earthly Friends, I Wondered Oh, So, Sadly: "What Do I Have, or Own, To Give To Make Jesus Want To Be My Friend?!?" Then, Yet, Again, The Words In Granny's Gift Bible: "Hope Thou In God!" "God Be Merciful ... TO ME ... A Sinner!" "Pray Without Ceasing!" This One Is Special for, to me, It Is: "Pray Without Seeing!" My Then Child's Mind Always Mouthed It Thus:
"Pray Without Seeing!"
Praying To The God That I Could Not See For Something I Could Not See Myself Receiving!! Wow! I Understand! I NOW Understand Granny's FAITH In The Unseen All-Knowing God! Granny Tried Her Best To Teach Me ...! Then, There was This Constant Plea From My Old Curly-Haired Granny:
"Lord, Have Mercy!"
"Lord, Jesus, Have Mercy!"
"In Jesus' Holy Name, Lord, Have Mercy!"
"Lord, Have Mercy On Me!
"Mercy, Lord! Mercy!"
Granny Used To Petition Heaven With Such Intense Faith That It Used To Make My Skin Crawl! Then, I Understood, and Finally Realized that:
GOD'S MERCY MAKES SIN ... CRAWL!!
22 Let thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us,
according as we hope in thee.
Psalm 33 - KJV
Today, I Need Almighty God, Jesus Christ, and The Holy Spirit! I Need To Be Settled in My Spirit ...! I Need Hope To ...! I Need Mercy To ...! I Need Help In ...! And, It Is In This Moment - Of Need - And Needing All The Powers Of Heaven At My Head, In My Heart, To Carry Me, That The Words In Granny's Gift Bible, Again, Saved Me! The Words, in Psalm 33 Verse 22 Made Me!! I Was To Have As Much Mercy As I Had Hope In God!! I Was Being Weighed In The Balances! Suddenly, I Was Crying!
"Lord, Jesus, Let Me Be Not Found Wanting!"
"Lord, Please Let Your Kingdom Not Be Finished For Me!"
The Scales ...! My Heart ...! My Head ...! My Hands ...! My Feet ...! My Hope?!? If I Want Mercy I Need Hope! If I Need Abundant Mercy I Need Abundant Hope! That Day Into Night Unto Morning Sunlight I Spent With The Master! My Tears? - They Shone Bright As With The Grace In Fond Memory I Placed On The Scale All The Blessings Received In Hope In All The Passing Days Years! With The Blessing Of God's Spirit And My Hope In Jesus' Faith My Time At The Throne Of Grace Knocked The Scale Out Of Place For The Hope Had Within It Mustard Seeds One or Two And Granny's Blessing of Teaching The Words In That Gift Bible Were Seeing Me Through! In My Day of Discovery In My Walk With My God My Hope Is Springing Eternal And By God's Abundant Mercy I'm Having No Truck With The Fraud! God's Free Mercy Is Free To You And Me With A Call A Prayer A Shout And Even Without A Care or Fear!
In The Land Of The StoryYou Tell Your Side and I Tell My Side! BUT ... Who Will Tell The Truth? In The Land Of The StoryYou Will Make You Look Good! I Will Make Me Look Good! BUT ... Who Will Make Truth Look Good? In The Land Of The Story You Will Lie a Little! You Will Say I Lie A Lot! I Will Lie a Little! I Will Say You Lie A Lot! BUT ... Who Will Say Truth Lies Not? My Story = The Mystery! History = Winner's Tale! Your Story = Drama Unfolds!
A portion of their time was to be occupied in the happy employment of dressing the garden, and a portion in receiving the visits of angels, listening to their instruction, and in happy meditation. Their labor was not wearisome, but pleasant and invigorating.—The Signs of the Times, January 9, 1879. God Gave to Man Happy Employment! BUT Through Satan's Machinations It has Devolved into Dreaded Work! Would That The Lord In Mercy Restore Love for The Creator And Remove Employment from Being a Bore Snore Chore! Would That The Deceiver Had Not Seen To His Personal Self And, Instead, had Accepted Jesus Christ as God As God The Father Almighty was Himself! "If Only!" To This Very Day Are Words that Men - Broken - Resort To ... As They Pray To The God They Don't Believe In The God They Vehemently and Thoroughly Deny Until The Day of Visitation When Their Prayers Prove That Their Denials of God and His Glory Are A Demon-Inspired Packaged Lie! How Often Have We In a Fit of Pique Denied God's Sovereignty And Elevated Satan's Malignity? How Often Have We Denigrated God's Truth and Righteousness And Elevated Satan's Crookedness and Deceit? The Living Holy God's Weapons of Warfare are Truth and Righteousness Made Up of Love and Light and Grace, and Justice By Mercy, Faithfulness Hope, Helps, Healing, and Provision, and Salvation By Forgiveness Of Sin Through The Sacrifice of Jesus Christ!
Satan's Weapons of Warfare are Crookedness and Deceit Made Up of Lies, Hate, Cruelty, Injustice Perversion, Diversion, Dalliance and Denials of Truth Malice, Murder, Malevolence, and Brutishness, and Brutality. God IS Able! But Satan Tells Man God is A Fable So that He - The Pretender - Is Then Capable of Elevating - Extricating - Himself Up and Out of The Losers Stable! BUT ... Satan, Ever The Liar Ever Lying Sells to The Unwary and The Unbeliever His False Bill of Known Goods and His Known Bill Of False Goods! Satan is Not a god Nor God! Satan Cannot Make Man Into God! Satan Cannot Save Himself! Satan Cannot Lift Up Nor Uplift Anybody And He Cannot Force Anybody Do Anything And He Cannot Read Minds Nor Can He Tell Any Man His Future! Satan Is The Master of Illusion Who Sells to The Unwary An Excess of Delusion!
I went to the Great Event! The Leaders were Forming Sides! Some people went to The Ladder! Some people went to The Rope of Divide! Both Leaders were Charismatic but One More So, it would seem! Both had Something to Offer Even if One did Look Somewhat Lean! It was Then that I Noticed Something The Side of The Ladder was Number Mean The Side of The Rope was Abundant And All The Members There were Sprankcious and Clean! I was on The Side of The Ladder And, boy, The Battle was Work! Climbing That Ladder was not Easy But The Leader was Always Alert! Numerous were the Members of the Rope Club Swing Here! Fly There! Run About! Jump! And Oft could Be Heard The Loud Cry When Some Falling Soul went "Thump!" Thump, thump, thump! Thump, Thump, Thump! THUMP! THUMP! THUMP! THUMP!THUMP! THUMP! The Cacophony was Nigh on Horrendous BUT ... That Leader Looked Unmoved by The Fuss! Well, I was Right Glad For My Leader Leading Me The Way Up To Heaven! His Words To All Members of Team Glory Were:
