SLOW down, take it EASY, read THE WORD with intent, and diligence; give it time to meld into the being; it IS imperative TO allow it to seep into the heart, the spirit, the being!!!

Thanksgiving for the LORD's Favor

Psalms 138 (A Psalm of David)
1/ I will praise thee with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto thee.
2/ I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy loving-kindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.
3/ In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, and strengthenedst me with strength in my soul.
4/ All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O LORD, when they hear the words of thy mouth.
5/ Yea, they shall sing in the ways of the LORD: for great is the glory of the LORD.
6/ Though the LORD be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knoweth afar off.
7/ Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.
8/ The LORD will perfect that which concerneth me:
thy mercy, O LORD, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands... AMEN!!!
One CANNOT earn GRACE, it is HIS own ESSENCE; a gift, still, IF one claims to be IN HIS GRACE, we ARE to, or, OUGHT to, be reflections of that GRACE! 2 CORINTHIANS 6:1, tells us not to take HIS GRACE in vain! This means, living in LOVE, morality, ethics, virtue, righteousness, and, spiritual improvement, TOWARDS, spiritual maturity, WHILE, visibly BEING as LIGHTS, beaming OF *GOD*, beckoning the world, TO THE LIGHT! Righteousness MEANS, conduct in conformity with *GOD'S* WILL, and, "Be HOLY because I AM HOLY!", therefore, indicating that knowledge, wisdom, and, effort, DO, apply TO the righteous!!! NEVER forget, we were grafted in, and, if we do not bear fruit, as a dead branch, we will be pruned out, just as were, the natural branches!!!

We are not saved by works, instead, works PROVE HIM in us: they identify HIS own...
IF I claim ONENESS with *GOD*, through CHRIST JESUS, I am DEAD TO THE WORLD, THUS, LIVING as HIM, which is, hopefully, witnessed IN, and, THROUGH, my every thought, action, and, reaction; MEANING, I am, THROUGH CONSCIOUS application OF THE WORD, HIS COMMANDS, HIS WILL, REFLECTING righteousness, not, merely, FAITH! I become, the TRULY FRUITFUL branch, of THE VINE, the TRUE member of THE BODY/THE CHURCH, CHRIST JESUS, and, TESTIFY, then, GLORIFY, BOLDLY, BY my thoughts, actions, and, reactions, HIS name, because, HE IS WORTHY, and, IN HIS LOVE, has SHOWN me, how I OUGHT to exist, to which, I eagerly, adapt, and, comply!!!

MATTHEW 5:48...

So be perfect,
just as your heavenly Father is perfect

1 PETER 1:14-16...
14/ Like obedient children, do not act in compliance with the desires of your former ignorance
15/ but, as he who called you is holy, be holy yourselves in every aspect of your conduct,
16/ for it is written, "Be holy because I (am) holy."


ROMANS 12:2...
Do not conform yourselves to this age but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and pleasing and perfect.
Conduct, in conformity to *GOD'S* WILL, marks the righteous; it is NOT because of guilt, or, ancient Laws, but, because of LOVE; LOVE for *GOD*, self, then, others! CHRIST JESUS gave us Commandments to live by, of which, the first is to LOVE *GOD*, with all of your mind, heart, and, soul; the second is, to LOVE one another!

LOVE COMPELS us to LIVE IN HIM, through conduct which conforms to *GOD*; in other words, morality, ethics, doing good, and, being good, and, ever striving to improve the spirit! It is about REFLECTING THE TRUTH, for ALL to bear witness to, FOR, and, TO HIS GLORY, RADIANTLY SHINING OF HIS POWER, GRACE, and, MERCIES!!!

It IS ALL ABOUT LOVE, baby, all about LOVE!!!

MATTHEW 4: 17...
From that time on, Jesus began to preach and say, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."

JOHN 14:15...
"If you love me, you will keep my commandments.

MAY PEACE BE WITH YOU, ALWAYS!!!

NOTE: I do not intend to preach, rather to reach; to stir up, awaken, to inspire, and, bring forth, in discussion, that which is, perhaps, dormantly existing in the heart of hearts, thus, little, or, no, sugar coatings, just THE WORD of *GOD*, the TRUTH, along with some of my thoughts. And truth is, I am reminding myself always, as I practice these reminders, in the best of my abilities, and capacities, while RELYING on THE LORD to lead me on that narrow PATH---> MATTHEW 7: 14: "For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it... TO *GOD* BE ALL GLORY...

EVERYBODY PRAISE THE LORD: LINCOLN BREWSTER

A MOTHER'S DAY PRAYER...

Dear Mother's of the world:

May *GOD* endow you with strength, and, the courage to endure the uncertainties of your role in HIS DIVINE WILL.
May HE BLESS you with hindsight, foresight, and, insight as you travel unknown paths on your journey of raising young ones.
May HIS own hand lead you, guide you, direct you, and, protect you while you mold the lives of HIS choosing.
May HE encourage you, support you, and, uplift you in the trials, and, tribulations ahead.
May HE grant you PEACE enough to assess every condition, circumstance, and, situation, as your Child(ren), and, yourself, grow.
May HE unleash HIS own, MIGHTY LOVE upon you, that it readily overflows to those in your charge, while it sustains you, and, convinces you, beyond all doubt, that no matter what, YOUR contribution to the continuance of life IS worthy, and, is as imperative as it gets! AMEN!!!

Dear FATHER of ALL, and, EVERYTHING, I come to ask YOU to remember the hardworking, creative, ingenious, sacrificing, determined, and, often, weary, Mother's of the world, especially in these very uncertain times. I ask that YOU touch their lives, and, their souls, that they are better equipped to deal with the pressures of raising a Family, often, by themselves. I ask that YOU strengthen them, and, grant them fortitude, that they can arise from whatever situation they are in! I ask that YOU lead them, and, their Families to safety, PEACE, and, please, grant them what they need! I come to YOU in humble regard, with a heart sincerely concerned, and, admiring of these Women, for their job is not easy, nor, does it always mean happiness, or, bring what they had hoped for, thus, guide their offspring to seeking YOU, that all is well, or, as well with the world, as can be, from those who CHOOSE YOU! BLESS these Ladies, and, forgive them if they falter, as, the world, and, it's throes, might lead some of them away from YOU, thus, I ask that YOU favour them for their hardship, endurance, and, deliberate attempts to carry the weight of the world upon their delicate shoulders, while helping them to see that YOU, alone, ARE the SOURCE of ALL, and, EVERYTHING. Thank YOU, FATHER, in the name of CHRIST JESUS, AMEN!!!

May YOU ever turn to HIM, for HE, alone, HOLDS ALL necessary tools, resources, and, provisions to assist you.
May you raise your Family to honour, respect, regard, and, LOVE *GOD* BEFORE all else, that they are in HIS GRACE, thus, BLESSED.
May you, in GRATITUDE, give thanks daily, even hourly, for HIS gifts to you, and, yours.
May you know that HE CHOSE YOU to be a Mother, and, HE trusts you to fulfill your role, in the best of your capacity; you see, HE has FAITH in you, therefore, also, have FAITH in HIM!

May you know that you ARE heralded for your contributions to life, and, always remember the hardships are temporary, even if they seem unending, with perseverance, endurance, FAITH, TRUST, BELIEF, and, LOVE, things will work out, by HIS GRACE!

*GOD* BLESS you, Mother's of the world, yours is a difficult job, but, it is, indeed, a *GOD* given job, which brings forth HIS WILL, and, to be a part of that, IS amazing, yes???

MALACHI 2:7-8...
7/ "For the lips of a priest ought to preserve knowledge, and from his mouth men should seek instruction—because he is the messenger of the LORD Almighty.
8/ But you have turned from the way and by your teaching have caused many to stumble; you have violated the covenant with Levi," says the LORD Almighty...
When you GIVE HOPE, you find HOPE, and, any time you find HOPE, be sure to GIVE it to someone else!!!

By FAITH we sleep, by FAITH we live, by FAITH we keep...lw'12

HOSEA 6:6...
For it is love that I desire, not sacrifice, and knowledge of God rather than holocausts.

(MATTHEW 9:13 & MATTHEW 12)

The world over, needs prayers, day in, day out! LET US PRAY WITHOUT CEASING! Let LOVE be the voice we lift UP to *GOD*! May HE BLESS us, and, may we allow HIM to show us THE WAY!!! PRAISE HIS MIGHTY name, and, GLORIFY HIM in thought, action, and, reaction!!!
The messengers of PEACE, in the heart of LOVE, have been handpicked by the Creator *GOD*, from the ranks of life, for HE knows the effectiveness of using those who have survived the worst, and now understand the best. In this way, the warriors of PEACE & LOVE are empowered, with strength, fortitude, longwithstanding, therefore, enabled to create ripples in the minds, & lives of mankind...

No GREATER LOVE exists:

No GREATER LOVE exists:
as CHRIST JESUS died for me, I, also die in HIM, and, ONLY IN HIM, do I find LIFE...

LOVE ONE ANOTHER---DAN LUEDERS
