HEAVENLY INCLINED...: THE CRISIS IN AFRICA: LET LOVE PROVIDE!!!

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.

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...

THE CRISIS IN AFRICA: LET LOVE PROVIDE!!!

While there are MANY hungry, and, homeless people, worldwide, and, in our own countries, respectively, Africa, especially, Ethiopia, Kenya, and, Somalia, are in terribly, dire straits!!!

In Somalia, people are walking for days, in HOPE of finding relief, and, are finding little, if any! Millions of Children are suffering! Mothers are giving up their food, thus, their lives, to ensure that their Children are being fed enough! It IS an awful, horrible state of existence, which, CAN be rectified, by LOVE, that kind of LOVE that *GOD* tells us to share with one another!!!

With economical disaster hitting some of the wealthier nations, there is less international aid coming in! What irks me is, IF EVERY single person who has ANY means, donated just $1, that would be BILLIONS toward resolving this crisis!!!

The *GODHEAD* COMMANDS us to LOVE one another, that PROVISION is in place for ALL people's of the world! Anyone who complies to this command, will, surely, BLESS themselves, and, their lives, including the people therein! It is a MOST conscientious, and, understandable commandment, to ensure, that ALL people are taken care of, and so, they KNOW, LOVE DOES exist, from *GOD*, straight down the line!!!

There are simple ways to aid those most in need, such as the HUNGER SITE! A daily click provides 1.1 cups of food to the world's hungry! Also, if you click on any of their sponsored links, more food is added to the daily total! Truth is, they need more assistance than food, but, food is life, and, so, that is a start! FIND ways to HELP! IT IS IMPERATIVE! It could be YOU, or, someone you know! Not only that, it SHOULD affect your heart to see others suffering!!!

Nothing is more disgraceful to humanity, than to ALLOW our fellowman to perish because of lack! So many people decide that it is NOT their problem, and, forget about it; considering it a governmental problem, which it is, but, IF the government is unable, or, stiff-necked, or, evil, should we, then, sit by, and, do nothing? NEVER! We must ALWAYS do what we can, for what we give, is added unto us, and, PROVES our TRUTH of LOVE!!!

Reach down in your soul, find the LOVE which *GOD* has filled you with, and, share that LOVE, as, LOVE is of NO use, if it is not spurred forward! May *GOD* BLESS us ALL, be with us, protect us, comfort us, and, LEAD us to rightful thinking, and, may HE LIFT up those whom are most suffering! The world belongs to *GOD*, but, WE are the caretakers of this world, our fellowman needs us, one, and, all, regardless the divisions created by deception!!!

Let us LIFT UP our voices as one, to *GOD*, in prayer, and, petition, for ALL human suffering! Let us pray for relief, for rain, for abundance of provision, for the awakening of LOVE in ALL of humanity! Let us Thank HIM for ALL HE has given us, and, PRAISE HIM for HIS undying LOVE of us! Let us HONOUR HIM, by ALWAYS doing good, to, and, for, one another, in HIS HOLY name, LOVE!!!

In the name of JESUS CHRIST, our SAVIOUR, let us walk in the example HE left for us; let us walk in LOVE!!!
