A most beautiful day, is this gift of *GOD*! The sun is shining, birds are singing, and, all is well! How awesome are the bounties of *GOD*! HIS GENIUS is present in, even, the simplest things, and, these are the ones we are most endowed with! So many of us, take the days for granted, but, NEVER should we, for each day, HAS been brought forth BY *GOD*, for YOU!!!2 CORINTHIANS 5:14-21...
14/ For the love of Christ impels us, once we have come to the conviction that one died for all; therefore, all have died.
15/ He indeed died for all, so that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised.
16/ Consequently, from now on we regard no one according to the flesh; even if we once knew Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know him so no longer.
17/ So whoever is in Christ is a new creation: the old things have passed away; behold, new things have come.
18/ And all this is from God, who has reconciled us to himself through Christ and given us the ministry of reconciliation,
19/ namely, God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting their trespasses against them and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation.
20/ So we are ambassadors for Christ, as if God were appealing through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.
21/ For our sake he made him to be sin who did not know sin, so that we might become the righteousness of God in him.
When we took off the old self, and, put on the new self, the spirit became our guide, instead of the carnal desires of the body, and, egocentric mind! We CHOSE to honour *GOD*, by, becoming CHRIST like, more, and, more so, every single day, that HE has gifted us with! We are full of LOVE, PEACE, HOPE, and, GRATITUDE! We go through the day rejoicing, praising, and, thanking *GOD*, while, being good, and, doing good, and, lifting up others along the way, both in prayers, and, in actions! We speak of *GOD*, of CHRIST, of the HOLY SPIRIT, and, we encourage ALL to leave the flesh behind, take up the yoke of CHRIST, and, improve the spirit, that, Heaven will be FILLED with the GLORY OF *GOD*!!!
We know that the day before us, will, not likely, be perfect, but, we cheerfully, endure, and, persevere, all the while, doing what we can to make it a better day, from within! We know that we need NOT be bound to sin, guilt, or, any negatives, even though, they are ever present, for, we are FREE in CHRIST, and, HE IS ever nearby, to help us carry the loads of the day! We lift UP to HIM, and, TRUST in HIM, thus, moving forward, easily, from whatever HAS the potential to bring us down! We KNOW that HE HAS our back, and so, we can move unrestricted, according to HIS WILL!!!
We strive to fully understand, THE WORD, the intentions of *GOD*, and, in that, we SEE that we are to be, as sunbeams, shining brightly, for the world to notice, that, they are inclined to seek, even more, LIGHT! We grasp the TRUTH that, this day is NOT about us, but, about promoting *GOD*, *GODLINESS*, goodness, and, wholesomeness, FOR ALL! We are diligent workers OF *GOD*, and, feel privileged to be so!!!
IN our examples, there is something wonderful, to bear witness to! We know we should, never, create stumbling blocks, dissension, or, any negative obstacles, for others, or, for the self! LOVE is FREE of negativity, even though, it exists on the natural, deceptive plane! We are in the SPIRIT, and, learn to adhere, and, align, to spiritual matters, and, ways, that we are ALWAYS representing THE *GODHEAD*, TO the world, in ALL we think, say, or do!!!
Of course, we MIGHT just stumble, falter, or, even, fall; but, we do NOT allow this to slow us! With GRACE, we, quickly, recuperate, then, move forth; all the more full of what is right, what is good, what is healthy, FOR ALL! We should seek to spread healthiness throughout the world! This healthiness IS an evidence of LOVE, and, of CHRIST, and, of having become ONE with HIM!!!
We KNOW that there is MUCH work to be done; therefore, we attempt to resist idleness, laziness, and, being slothful! We understand that the work ahead, is IMPERATIVE FOR ALL, and, each hour, IS a gift from *GOD*, in which case, ONLY HE KNOWS, when the last hour will be, for any one of us, or, for the world, itself!!!
I think of myself as a Soldier of LOVE, of CHRIST, and, I take my position, seriously, and, willingly! I do NOT do this for myself, per se, I do it for ALL, because, I WANT as many to survive this world, to find life eternal! I detest the thought of people perishing, especially, due to ignorance, deception, stubbornness, and, lack of TRUTH! It is NOT an easy life, AFTER having lived in the flesh, most of my life, but, that is to my advantage, and, to the GLORY of *GOD*! I do not feel deprived, I feel revived! I feel as if the hour at hand, IS one, in which, to reach as many as is feasible! Sometimes, it seems as if I am all alone, but, even this, I do NOT allow to affect me, because, I KNOW that seeds planted, sometimes, take a while to root, then, to grow, and, I do NOT have to witness what they grew into, for that is *GOD'S* prize! Onward I go, ever with my thoughts on HIM, and, what is ABOVE, TRYING, to let that BE the entirety of my day, SO THAT, I am NOT enmeshed by what HAS the probability of removing me from HIM, for even a second, of this precious time, this gift of *GOD*!!!
Yes, it IS a most beautiful day, and, I will take from it, what HE has given unto me, while, HONOURING HIM, in the best of my abilities, with gratitude, praise, worship, and, effort of body, mind, and, spirit, because I LOVE HIM, HIS people, and, myself, enough to MAKE it the best day possible, UTILIZING ALL the PROVISIONS HE has set before me!!! AMEN!!! THANK YOU, LORD, our *GOD*, for YOUR LOVE, and, ALL, and, EVERYTHING!!!
