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

BE BLESSED BY 'BEING' A BLESSING: LET LOVE RULE AT ALL TIMES!!!

To BE BLESSED, it helps to BE a BLESSING, in as many ways as is feasible! We do not exist for the self, we exist in the spirit, and, the TRUE SPIRIT is LOVE! LOVE provides for ALL in it's path, and, wants nothing more than for ALL to be comforted, healed, and, fulfilled! LOTS of people say that *GOD* should take care of the world's needs, but, right in the beginning, HE delegated the responsibility of caring for the Earth, it's creatures, and, it's inhabitants, to US! Besides that, HE does MORE than HIS share, and, IF we share HIS KINGDOM with HIM, does that not imply that we have a share of the responsibility towards THE KINGDOM?!? IF we are OF LOVE, we ARE LOVE, and, LOVE is EVER moving forward, UNSELFISHLY, FOR the GOOD of ALL in existence!!!

It doesn't matter what your state of existence is, there ARE ways to care for others! Money is fine, but, often, HOPE is what is needed by others, which, doesn't cost a thing to give, except for the investment of time to offer it! Sharing IS what this life is about, be that materially visible, or, invisibly from the heart! Doing good, and, being good, in the name of *GOD*/CHRIST, is evidence of our embracing of HIS LOVE, and, becomes manifest through action!!!

In reality, we are designed to share; it is deception which, has blinded us to many TRUTHS! LOVE IS THE LAW, and, those whom LOVE in the gist of their SAVIOUR, ARE inclined towards caring for the Earth, the creatures, and, their fellow-beings!!!

You can donate anything from a - z, and, anything from within! Donating TIME to others, is often, the greatest healer, encouragement, and, motivator! Just being KIND to everyone you encounter, sets the tone, as well!!!

We are to be as lights to the world, a TRUE REFLECTION of THE LORD, our *GOD*, and, DELIVERER; this means in EVERY way! CHRIST set up HIS comm'UNITY' of followers, PREMISED upon communal living; EVERYONE involved had to forego their worldly goods, and, divide them amongst ALL, that, EVERYONE was provided for! There is GREAT sense in this, because, it removes the very CONDITIONS which, often, lead people away from what is TRUE, RIGHT, and, GOOD, as, in a state of need, people are left to resort to ANY means towards obtaining, and so, are led into err, and, sin! Because of capitalism, and, the greed therein, societies have decided that communal ways, are socialism, and so, the very nature of the comm'UNITY' of THE LORD, has been twisted into something unfavourable, HOWEVER, the INTENT remains OPTIMAL for ALL!!!

There ARE benefits in DOING what LOVE commands; the more you give the more you shall receive, even if it is not immediately visible! Do unto others what you would have them do unto you, and, what goes around, comes around! IF our hearts are hardened to the plight of humanity, and, the creatures of the Earth, WHERE IS *GOD*/CHRIST evident? WHERE is the LOVE? WHERE is the RIGHTEOUSNESS of HIS people???

I have the following poem hanging on my refrigerator, it has been there for years, because, it SO perfectly, illustrates what has happened to society, thanks to the shroud of deception:
THE COLD WITHIN BY JAMES PATRICK KINNEY

Six humans trapped in happenstance
In dark and bitter cold,
Each one possessed a stick of wood,
Or so the story's told.

Their dying fire in need of logs
The first woman held hers back,
For of the faces around the fire,
She noticed one was black.

The next man looking across the way
Saw not one of his church,
And couldn't bring himself to give
The fire his stick of birch.

The third one sat in tattered clothes
He gave his coat a hitch,
Why should his log be put to use,
To warm the idle rich?

The rich man just sat back and thought
Of the wealth he had in store,
And how to keep what he had earned,
From the lazy, shiftless poor.

The black man's face bespoke revenge
As the fire passed from sight,
For all he saw in his stick of wood
Was a chance to spite the white.

The last man of this forlorn group
Did naught except for gain,
Giving only to those who gave,
Was how he played the game.

The logs held tight in death's still hands
Was proof of human sin,
They didn't die from the cold without,
They died from the cold within.

According to James Patrick Kinney's son, the poem is in the public domain


This post is inclusive TO the suffering at hand! THE WHOLE WORLD OVER is seeing the effects of the lack of understanding of LOVE! THE WHOLE WORLD OVER! More, and more, people are existing in circumstances NOT acceptable for humanity! Even Grandparents are suffering, AFTER working hard, all of their lives! This is NOT what LOVE would do; this IS what the deceiver has managed to do, because, there just AREN'T enough speaking out against what is away from LOVE/*GOD*/CHRIST, nor, are there enough in ACTION FOR the GIFT of LOVE!!!

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
