HEAVENLY INCLINED...: WEDNESDAY'S WISDOM: LOVE NEVER FAILS...

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...

WEDNESDAY'S WISDOM: LOVE NEVER FAILS...

WHY do SO many people scoff or balk at the TRUTH that LOVE NEVER fails???---

It is simple; humans fail LOVE, but LOVE NEVER fails us! WE ARE the ones who make LOVE stink, suck, and otherwise negative, IN our lack of knowledge, understanding, HUMILITY, and utilization of LOVE! WE ARE the ones who abuse it, AND use it for the self! WE ARE the ones who are fickle, confused, dazed, deceived, and so forth! LOVE STANDS PERFECT no matter how we maltreat it!!!

WHAT does it take for us to SEE LOVE for all it is? WHY can't we accept it in it's QUALITY, and EXCELLENCE? IF we KNOW *GOD*, we KNOW that HE IS LOVE, and IN LOVE dwells PURITY, RIGHTEOUSNESS, and that which is JUST, and GOOD! WITHIN LOVE IS found the ANTIDOTES to everything which afflicts us in this world; within it, ARE the answers TO ARISING OVER the negative, evil, and wicked forces of this realm! SO WHY do we ignore it, shirk from it's POWERS, and otherwise act as if it is a farce? HOW WILL one KNOW THE TRUTH if they NEVER step UP to it???

It seems TOO many are comfortable with the way the world is; though unfavourable things happen every second of every minute of every hour, which plague us with endless negativity! It WON'T get better if WE DON'T want it to!!!

We ARE raised backward TO TRUTH, BELIEVE it! The world and it's forces HAVE gone to GREAT extents to deceive us, to twist reality, to perplex us, to distract us, and so on, which then, HAS been entwined INTO the ways we are raised; meaning, we receive WAY more falsehoods than not! Thus, UNLESS we WANT to contribute to bettering this world, and WANT to see more kindness, compassion, understanding, tolerance, and that which MAKES existence sweet, it is going to get worse, AND the blame can ONLY fall on us, BECAUSE we resisted LOVE in ALL it's GLORY, and POWERS!!!

TOO, we view LOVE in limited aspects; we see LOVE as relating to particular people, and circumstances; when LOVE IS COMPRISED of CEASELESS components, aspects, levels, layers, and well, there IS FAR MORE TO LOVE than we have imagined!!!

It is NEVER too late to LOVE aright; NEVER! LOVE has NOT gone anywhere; it has NOT denied us; it has NOT failed us! It IS IN OUR court, and IS OURS to receive or refuse!!!

THE WAY to LOVE begins with THE LORD, with HUMILITY, which then, opens the floodgates, and rushes forth! We ARE able to LOVE as HE HAS WILLED us too; we only have to WANT to, and to embrace the endless benefits of doing so!!!

LOVE IS THE LAW of the HEAVENS; it IS THE LAW of the Earth, and DOES RULE SOVEREIGN OVER ALL IN CREATION, AS LOVE HOLDS EVERYTHING together! LOVE PRODUCES, IT FORTIFIES, IT STRENGTHENS, IT HEALS, IT RENEWS, IT RESTORES, IT DOES EVERYTHING WHICH BRINGS ADVANTAGE, PEACE, HOPE, and MUCH more into REALITY!!!

We have done all else, and just look at the results! ISN'T it time to CONSIDER what stepping into LOVE CAN DO?!!

DON'T measure LOVE according to human perception, because we KNOW such IS flawed, instead, let us LEARN LOVE FROM LOVE HIMSELF, THE LORD *GOD* ALMIGHTY, and take on the PURE PERFECTION of it's inner workings! LOVE ALREADY EXISTS, and IS WORKING by the second, but HAS to be forwarded in order for it's benevolence to manifest!!!

LOVE NEVER FAILS, no matter how many times we fail LOVE, but it is NOT too late to UNITE with it, and watch as we are UNIFIED BY it's AWESOME COMPETENCY! *GOD* IS LOVE AND CANNOT FAIL, CANNOT LIE, and CANNOT BE LESSENED in ANY aspect, unlike the world which is tossed about, swayed, and afflicted by that which is NOT OF HIM! Let us SERIOUSLY contemplate the INFINITE SUPERIORITY OF LOVE, and scrutinize it's POTENCY!!!
