HEAVENLY INCLINED...: TUESDAY'S THOUGHTS: TRUE BLUE 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 THOUGHTS: TRUE BLUE LOVE...

Before my time is gone, which, I pray is a LONG time away, I will probably say the same things in a trillion different ways, that, there is opportunity for understanding:)))

LOVE IS THE LAW, ALWAYS HAS BEEN THE LAW, WHICH JESUS REITERATED, and, EXPOUNDED, and, COMMANDED! LOVE IS THE LAW, because, LOVE WORKS, period! Not the tainted, waning, fickle, untrained LOVE of the human condition, but, THE HOLY LOVE OF *GOD*, which IS to be studied, understood, embraced, and, utilized, FOR IT'S INFINITE EMPOWERMENT TO US, the very people HE WANTS to SHARE ETERNITY with!!!

LOVE opens UP to obedience; it is natural for anything CREATED of LOVE, to be obedient, with the exception of it's opposer, although, he too, was born into LOVE, and, obedience, but, used his free will to defy, then, deny the ultimate, everlasting powers of THE *GODHEAD*! We too, can defy, and, deny the ultimate, everlasting powers of THE HOLY RULER of existence, but, it is HIS hope, that, through diligent, deliberate devouring of HIS WORD, we will SEE the senselessness in doing so, and, the sense in OBEYING HIM, with LOVE as our new being...

Obedience opens UP to rightful living, which, FREES the spirit, the being, and, CONNECTS us FULLY TO *GOD*/CHRIST, the CHURCH! I don't care what anyone says, LOVE IS THE ANSWER to ALL we seek! LOVE can cover a multitude of sins! LOVE can CURE the troubles of the world! LOVE IS ALL THAT, and, more!!!

LOVE IS PURE ENERGY, LIGHT, POWER, HEALTH, WELL-BEING, WHOLESOMENESS, RIGHTEOUSNESS, PERFECTION, and, ALL which is GOOD! LOVE is the foundation of EVERYTHING in existence, despite the defiant misuse, and, ignorance of it's GLORY!!!

LOVE is what *GOD* seeks from us, HIS people! And, NOTHING else in this life, or, in CREATION, IS MORE WORTHY; ONLY *GOD* DESERVES our LOVE, and, the constant improvement of our understanding of it! IF we could LOVE as we should, as we OUGHT to, you wouldn't believe how much different life would be, for ALL! LOVE IS LIGHT, LIGHT diminishes, then, eradicates the darkness; the darkness is oppressive, oppression is depression, depression is as chains, to which we are bound, for NO REAL reason, other than defiance to, and, ignorance of, LOVE!!!

Are we NOT inspired by the magnitude of HIS LOVE for us? Are we NOT sure of the profundity of HIS LOVE for us? Can't we SEE that HE is seeking TRUE BLUE LOVE from us, HIS BELOVED CHOSEN, and, ALL which comprises that LOVE???

Yep, it IS ALL ABOUT LOVE, baby, ALL about LOVE! If you want a strong, eternal point on which to build a relationship with *GOD*, LOVE IS that point!!!
