"I" And "I" And Night Lights





There Is One "I" In Christ
AND
There Are Two "I's In Christian
Because
A Christian Sees
Eye To Eye With Christ
AND
Has No Desire
To Descend Into Hell's Oblivion!

The Man Who Walks Right
In His Own "I" Sight
Is The Man Who Chooses
To Have His Life End
In Eternal Night
For
He Has No Touch
No Truck
With The Lord Of Life
Who Gives Light
So
He Has Not In His Possession
The Comfort Of The Night-Light!

I Went Into Pray
AND
Met With Him Who For Me Cares
AND
Now ... NOW
I Have No Fear
Of Roaring Lions
Who Are Bug Bears
For
Jesus Christ Is My Captain
My Sword
AND
My Shield
AND
With Him Guarding
Guiding
AND
Protecting
I Can Resist The Devil
AND
He Has No Choice
But ... TO FLEE!

Jesus Christ
IS
My Lord
AND
My God
AND
Trusting Him
Makes Me A Wise One
Who
In The Great Day
Shall Receive
The Commendatory Reward!

I Choose The Eternal Light
AND
To Walk In His Everlasting Light
AND
In So Doing
To Have No Fear Of Life's Darkening Night
For
In Him In Whom I Trust
In Him In Whom I Believe
Is True And Bright Light
That Gives True And Clear Sight!


How Do You See?
With What Light Are You At Life Looking?
Is Your Light Lit From The Oil Of Heaven
Or
Is Your Light The Result
Of Burning Bread Filled With Pharisee Leaven??

**--**--**--**

Call Upon Jesus Christ!
He Is  The Light 
And
The Life
Of The World!!

HAPPY SABBATH + The Little Bird Sings! + PRAYER: Lord, Help Me Sing!





I Was Saying My Prayers This Morning
When I Became Conscious Of An Intruding Song!
I Said To The Lord
With A Smile On My Face:

It Would Be Nice
To Know What That Little Birdie Is Saying!

In An Instant
In My Mind
I Caught On To The Refrain:

God  ... Is  ... Good!
God  ... Is  ... Good!
God  ... Is  ... Good!


My Smile Grew Broader!

What A Refrain
From A Little Creature
- With Feathers -
Who Heralds The Dawning
AND
Who Pays Homage To Our Creator
No Matter The Season
The Reason
The Storm!

That Creature Small
But
Filled With Gratitude
Cares Not
Who Hears Him Sing
For
He Volubly Tells All And Sundry
About His Lord And King
Who Provides For His Welfare
Every Single Thing!


PRAYER:

Oh, Lord
Most Holy
Please Place A Gratitude Song
Deep In My Heart
So That I May Gladly Sing
And
Tell Of Him
Who Puts New Songs
In New-Made Redeemed Hearts

Who To Him Cling!

Please Let My Song Sing
Of Gladness
Blessedness
Thankfulness
And Joy
Salvation
Redemption
Forgiveness
And Rest
Love
Peace
And Hope
And
Trust
In My Holy God!


Let Peace Reign!
Let Trust Soar!
Let Thankfulness Be Triumphant
Inside Or Outside
Open Or Shut Doors!

Let Hope Sing The High Note For Joy!
Let Gladness Hum Hum Hum
A Thrilling Cadence Without Alloy!
Let Salvation
And
Forgiveness
Work And Rest Peacefully In Me
And
Let My Heart Leap
In The Dance That Walks
- Without Growing Weary -
Steadfastly
Unto Coming Glory!


Lord,
Let Me Sing
As The Little Bird Sings
The Only Difference Being
That I Sing In Praise
Of The Lord Of Life
Who Sacrificed
And Died
To Forever Save Me!


I Will Sing!
Lord, Help Me Sing
For
I Love
Honor
Worship
And Praise
The Living God
My Lord
And
My King!
AMEN.

A Prayer Inside Of A Prayer!





Dear Father In Heaven,
I Come To You Today
Burdened By A Spirit Troubled
By Sugary-Snack Prayers!

Father,
I Am Troubled By The Prayers That Say:

"Thank You, Lord, For The Blessing!"

As Though The Blessing Has No Name
And
The Giver Has No Part In My Rejoicing!

I Am Troubled, Lord
By The Form Of Prayer
Constant
Today
And
Every Day ...

"Thank You For The Roof Over My Head
For Health
For Strength
For Friends
For Family!"

Father,
I Am Thankful
For All These Things
But
Please Help Me To Think Deeply
For I Am Truly Thankful For Your Grace
So That I
- In My Praying -
Do Not Issue Just A Laundry List Of Wants
Nor
A Grocery List Of Needs
And
Mere-Form "Thank You's!"
I Desire My Gratitude To Shine Through!
I Desire My Great Love For You To Show!

I Desire, Lord
In All The Honesty
That A Wicked Human Heart Can Muster
To Be Able To Pray
To My Holy God
And
Truthfully Say:


Father,
Today
I Do Not Desire Anything
For Nor From The Corporeal Realm!
I Desire To Bless You, Lord
Upon My From Sleep Waking!


I Desire, Lord
To Give You Gifts
Never As Grand As You Give Men
But
I Desire To Gift You, Lord
With My Life
By The Exercise Of My Faith
And
My Walking Before You In Humility!


Added To That, Lord
Please Accept My Willingness

To Help Finish The Living Gospel Work
And
My Desire To Ease The Burden
Of A Brother Sister ... In Your Name
And
My Desire To Honor You, Father
By Daily, Willingly, Doing
All
That You Ask Me To Do!
Help Me Not To Think Of Costs
For, Therein
I Know I Will Be Lost!


Father,
I Know I Will Make Mistakes

And
I Also Know That You Are Just To Forgive My Sin
So I Am Beseeching You
To Help Me Ever To Come To You
Ever Unwilling To Hide
Ever Shielded From Pride
Ever Open To Correction

And
Ever Willing For You To Everlastingly Be My Guide!


Father,
I Look To The Great Day
When
I Shall Be What Jesus Christ Is
And
Beseech You, Loving Father
To Help Me To Give To You
All The Useless Things
In My Life
That Would Tend To My Damnation
And

I Ask You, Please
To Help Me, Please
Not To Despise
Your Gracious, Precious Gift To Me
Of My Soul's Eternal Salvation!


Father,
I Love You!
I Am Your Child
And

I Ask You To Bless Me
To Honor
Bless
Worship

And
Praise You
With My Willing Obedience
No Matter The Consequences!

Please Lead Me Gently ... Home

For I Know Of A Surety
That You Are The Holy God
In Whom I Live And Breathe
And
From Whom My Hope For Glory Comes!
Remember, Lord
Your Promises
To The Household Of Faith
In Jesus Christ's Holy Name, I Plead!
AMEN.

PRAYER: Father, Bless Your People Unto The Great Day!






Without You, Lord
I Am Lost!

Ignoring You, Lord
Lays Against Me
Great Costs
And Thereby
Makes A Lie
Of Your Sacrifice
On Calvary's Cross
Because
My Self-help Says That
Of My Life
I Am The Best Boss!


Oh, God Most Merciful
Have Pity

And

Be Merciful Unto Me
And

Renew This Old Heart
So That For Thee
It Beats With Constancy!



Let This Old Heart Be Made Anew!

Let My Love For Thee
Not Be Askew
And

Let My Hatred For Sin 
And
For That Damned Devil
Keep Me Daily

Applying To The Throne Of Dear Grace
For
Daily Blessings From You!


Lord,
I Am Reaching For The Hand

That Holds The World
Secure
Safe
Knowing That That Hand
Holds Me Also
For That Hand's Heart
Holds For Me A Fit Place
To Run To
For Rescue
For Help
In Hope
For Provision

And
For Salvation

And
The Means Whereby

Against The Wiles Of The Destroyer
I Can Cope!

Oh, Lord

I Trust You!
I Believe On And In You
And
Behind You, I Walk
Ever Trusting In The Golden Promise
That Heaven Is No Cruel Joke!


Father,
Please Keep Me Faithful!
Please Keep My Peace In You Serene!

Please Make My Willingness To Follow You
A Bath To Keep Me Clean
Sloughed
Of The Love Of The Things Of The Earth
Shucked Of Christ-Denying Greed
And

Toweled In Your Holy Spirit
And

Powdered In Faith
That Will To You Ever Appeal!


Help Me, Lord
Not To Be Weary In Well-Doing

And
Let Not Lack Of Resources
Shorten My Hand
Nor Make Me Glum

Unwilling In The Word Of Truth To Stand!


Please Help Me To Ever Look

To The Living God Of All
And

Claim The Covenanted Promises
And 

Accept
That With God All Things Are Possible

Knowing That He Who
Sees And Knows All
And

Is In All
Will Provide For My Need

That Thing That Is Called Some!


I Believe In You, Lord
Please Help My Unbelief

And
Please Protect Me
From That Wicked One
Who
Of My Salvation
Wills Himself To Be The Malicious Thief!


Help Me, Lord
To Listen!
Please Still My Soul
And
Help Me To Hear
And
To Obey
And
To Walk Surrendered
Toward The Life Of Life
From Whence My Help Comes!

I Love You
And

Into Your Hands, Lord
I Commend My Spirit
For I Know That No Man
Or Spirit Being
On This Earth
Has The Means To Redeem My Soul

From Neither Death Nor Hell -
Save Me!

Save Your Faithful Holy People

And
Bless Us Unto The Great Day
Of Vengence and Redemption
In Jesus' Blessed Name, I Plead!

AMEN.

APPROACHES TO LIFE: Fall-Back vs. Call Upon





SATAN IS THE LIAR!!

The Difference Between
A Committed Christian
AND
An Unbeliever
IS
The Unbeliever Has
A Fall-Back Position
BUT
The Committed Christian
Has A Call-Upon Savior
Gloriously Named
The Prince Of Peace
Jesus Christ The Lord!

My Spirit Is Very Troubled Within Me
Reading Hearing
About All The Teenage Suicides
AND
The Reasons Why
AND
I WONDER
Lord Knows ... I Wonder
In Whose Ears
Did These Poor Unfortunate
Desperate Souls
Cry?

What Have We Done?
What Are We Doing
By "Freeing Up" Society
From The "Interfering-In-Our-Pleasure" God
AND
Giving That Fraud Satan
Complete Access
To Destroy People's Minds
AND
Lives
Through Seeking Man-Public Social Media Approbation
Commendation
AND
Direction
Instead Of
Taking One's Hurting Heart
To 
THE ETERNAL
ALL SEEING
All KNOWING
EVER PRESENT
ALWAYS AVAILABLE
ALMIGHTY GOD?!

Modern Man
Baby Boomers
Gen-X Y Z
The Snow Flakes
Act Like Sharks
When They Smell
A Single Drop Of Blood
In The Water
AND
All Seem
To Take Perverse Pleasure
In Destroying
What One Poor Soul Calls Treasure!

It's Amazing How We Joyously Kill People
BUT
Save 
Cats Puppies
Wales Bees And Trees!

What Ever Happened To ...

Kind Word
Thoughtful Deed
Extending A Helping Hand
To A Broken
Bothered
Bewildered
Trembling
Brother Sister
Daddy Mommy
Friend?

What Ever Happened To
Let Me Pray With
For
You?
Let's Talk!?
You Speak - I Listen!?
Let's Go To Our Eternal God
Who For Us
- With Spilt Blood -
Intimately Cares?

Why Are We Celebrating
AND
Elevating
Suicide!?

Why Have We Cast Away
The Holy God
In Whom
- From Whom -
We Get The Peace
Where With
We Can This Life Abide!?

People, We Have A Savior
Who ... For Us
Cried!
Died!
AND YET
IS NOW
Interceding For Us
 ... In God's Heaven ...
Where He Resides!

Are We So Intelligent
That We Can't See
That
Without The Next Generation
That It's The End For 
Me
AND
Thee aka Humanity?!
Oops!
I Forgot  ...
That THAT IS The Plan!

Satan's Bold Plan!
Destroy Who God Loves
AND
Jesus Christ's Sacrifice
Will Have Been
Premature!?!
AND
Stunningly ... UNSUCCESSFUL!?!

Yuk It Up!
The Laugh's On Jesus!
There'll Be No One To Call The Throne!!?
BUT
Hello! Dick Tracy
Jesus Christ IS Still
The King
AND
The Lord Of Everything
A Shelter In The Time Of Storm
A Covert
From The Roaring Lion
Of Destructive Fame -
The Accursed One!

Jesus Christ
IS STILL
The Everlasting Father
The Rock Of Our Salvation
Our Redeemer
Our Sealer
The Conqueror
The Great Physician
AND
The Healer Of Hearts
Hurting!

Jesus Saves!
Don't Run To The Grave!
Wait ... Patiently
With Endurance
In Faithful Prayer
For Your Call
To Rest
In
The Lord!

Please ... Let Us Stop Killing
What
Can Be Cured!
AND ...
What Can't Be Cured
Is To Be Endured
By Grace
Through Faith
In The Lord Jesus Christ!

Satan Is A Hot Knife
BUT
In Jesus Christ Is  Eternal Life!


For The Price Of Our Sin
We (But Not All)
Will Eventually Die In This Flesh
BUT
If We Have Been Faithful
To The Eternal God
We Shall Live Again ... It Is Promised!

Please Do Not Turn A Faithful Promise
Into A Gross Lie!
Please Do Not Hasten Away To Die!

Without Christ Ideation
Man Will Forever Die!

With Christ
Man Shall Eternally Fly!

Wait ... On The Lord!
