HEAVENLY INCLINED...: TUESDAY'S THOUGHT: ALL WE NEED IS LOVE...

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...

TUESDAY'S THOUGHT: ALL WE NEED IS LOVE...

LOVE is the source of our breath. LOVE is the pulse of our spirit, our heart. LOVE is even, the basis for our death. LOVE, if we choose it, from us, will never depart. LOVE corrects what is wrong. LOVE heals what is broken. LOVE makes what is weak, strong. LOVE has more powers when, unspoken. LOVE is THE WAY. LOVE is THE LIGHT. LOVE is the core of this day. LOVE is the vision of inner-sight. LOVE is the antidote. LOVE is the cure. LOVE does always promote. LOVE is ever sure...

*GOD* IS LOVE, PURE, INCORRUPTIBLE, TRUE, POSITIVE, HEALTHY, ALL PROVISIONAL, and, EVER BLESSED. IN LOVE there is NOTHING negative, adverse, amiss, flawed, faulty, erroneous, or, mistaken; it IS PRECISELY ENDOWED in PERFECTION, with it's intention(s) beneficial for ALL in it's path! NOTHING in CREATION opposes LOVE, except for the fallen angels, and, humanity...

Humanity may, or, may not, deliberately oppose LOVE, though, lack of understanding, knowledge, embracing it, or, utilizing it, create opposition, PLUS, if one is not attempting to reconcile with *GOD*, THE LORD, it is as opposition. Of course the elemental rulers of the world, namely, deception, has had a great hand in the state of the lack of LOVE in humanity, and, will only get worse, with time, if understanding is not embraced...

Our FATHER, *GOD*, THE LORD of ALL, and, EVERYTHING, still LOVES, despite our state of existence, and, remains patient, merciful, and, gracious, awaiting those who will struggle, and, strive to grab onto HIS LOVE, then, exist in it...

LOVE IS THE MOST IMPERATIVE THING we can study, learn, embrace, and, put to good use, still, we drag about in our efforts, too wrapped up in what is happening around us, even though, most of what is happening around us, is NOT of LOVE...

LOVE IS THE ANSWER to ALL which is wrong in this world! I wonder what it takes for us to realize that *GOD*, ALONE, IN HIS PERFECT LOVE, IS the answer to EVERY single challenge we face? It doesn't say much for FAITH, to see the world lacking so greatly in LOVE, because the core of FAITH is LOVE...

MATTHEW 24:12 & 13...
12/ and because of the increase of evildoing, the love of many will grow cold.
13/ But the one who perseveres to the end will be saved.

Powerful, and, profound words, from the very mouth of CHRIST! DEEP is the message, and, imperative is the need to understand!!!

LOVE IS ALL, and, EVERYTHING, because LOVE IS *GOD*, and, *GOD* is PERFECT, INFALLIBLE, FAITHFUL, and, evermore!!!

ALL the riches in store for us, lie IN LOVE, but instead, we scour the Earth in hopes of finding what we are lacking, often, so dissatisfied, we begin to wax cold, when, ALL we NEED to do, is to study, learn, embrace, and, make use of the GIFTS of LOVE, from *GOD*, our CREATOR! LOVE HOLDS CREATION TOGETHER, as everything therein, save for humanity, and, the fallen angels, works in harmonious synchronicity, which, NO opposition, can hinder, or, diminish, as it IS ETERNAL...
