HEAVENLY INCLINED...: NOTHING MORE OPTIMIZING THAN 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...

NOTHING MORE OPTIMIZING THAN LOVE!!!

Have I told you lately that I LOVE you? I truly do! I might not like what you say, or do, but my LOVE is real, and surpasses everything beneath it! I realize that not many people 'get' what I mean, nor would they reciprocate, but LOVE doesn't need all that; it is what it is, and must spiral forth of itself, and is heightened in being forwarded---

This old world has us at each other's throats; at odds with one another; at loss for why, or how it comes about, as when we are young, we don't have the hangups, or the inclination to be against but a few! We don't need to bite into that sour apple left by the one whom would destroy us, one and all; NOPE, we don't, because to do so is senseless in that, there is NOTHING good in that bite, instead, a vile poison which otherwise, would not have affected us! There IS a better way for humanity, but that involves negating the negative, and permitting the positive, as well as embracing, and standing strong in LOVE, justice, what is right, and what is good, which IS the easier way, however, scores of people resist, perhaps because they have never experienced the highs in doing so, or maybe they are worried it would make them appear weak, soft, or vulnerable, AS IF the opposite doesn't...

I don't have a clue HOW to reach the many people whom are sure that what is sound, principled, and sensible is like a far off vision; not worth the effort! They are SO WRONG, and well, stubbornly missing out on wholesome advantage, and quality of existence! I CANNOT figure out WHY people ARE SO keen on remaining in discord, dissension, and disunity, WHEN there IS ENDLESS GOOD to be found, had, and enjoyed; THIS IS what we were born into, NOT the evil, hostile, wicked environment which we ALLOW, and contribute to, as we scorn that which WOULD eradicate such, once and for all, IF we'd just be whom *GOD* CREATED us to be; that deep in the spirit, and deep in the heart; FULL of the makings which cancel out the crap we claim as existing!!!

We are here for such a short time, and yet, we run wild, and amok, THINKING we are invincible, and without an expiration date! WHY do people WANT to waste this precious time in turmoil, WHEN there IS an option???

Sad that no one is able to teach people that desires and passions of the physical realm OFTEN rob the spiritual being, and leave us weary for the wear! Odd that no one is able to reach people that they understand that there IS another dimension to their being; and from that dimension comes that which, IF embraced, and utilized, COULD make this world as Eden!!!

DESPITE our tendencies, we are NOT designed to be dysfunctional; that is something we learn, and fall into in this world, thanks to the liar that roams the Earth, looking for ways to make us all fall for the delusion, and become trapped in the confusion! We ARE designed for GREATNESS, for LOVE, and for all which is RIGHT, but we don't 'get it', even if we have an idea, because we are tripped up by the fallacies all around us, as well as the empty enticements! AND MANY believe that THIS time IS ALL there is, therefore, DENYING their souls, their TRUE selves, LIFE!!!

How awful to exist in troubles all the while, when the next hour might not ever be!!!

A huge number of us on this planet are outcasts, for varying reasons, and many of us have never received the kind of affection, compassion, or care that we should, but *GOD'S* LOVE CHANGES all that, AND FILLS us SO full that there is little else to come forth of us, but LOVE, and what is OF HIM! LOVE CAN, and DOES melt even the most frozen heart, and spirit, BELIEVE IT! Human love is fickle, fleeting, and flawed, but *GODLY* LOVE IS PERFECT, ETERNAL, and CONSTANT, as well as HEALING, HEALTHY, and HARDY! It IS what TRANSFORMS us, LEADS us, PROTECTS us, and PROVIDES for us, INFINITELY!!!

Such a pronounced, and recognizable contrast between what is of the world, and what is OF *GOD*; OF LOVE! But you might not ever know this if you are too wrapped up in the world, or do not consider THE LORD *GOD*, and THIS IS one reason we were CALLED to SHINE OF HIM, THAT the blind might see, and the deaf might hear!!!

LOVE CHANGES EVERYTHING, and EVERYONE whom receives it, accepts it, and exists in it! There is NOTHING on this Earth, nor in the universe which is more WORTHY; NOTHING!!!

EACH HAS FREE WILL, thus, the choices we have, yet, IF you seek REAL comfort, PEACE, HOPE, and BLESSINGS unlimited, consider *GOD*, and HIS LOVE, which IS as close as your skin, and breath, as well as available to all whom seek refuge from the woes of this realm...

As the world grows more unstable, more hostile, more hateful, and more destructive, I URGE all to THINK REAL HARD about the OPTION which WILL LIFT us from this mess, and KEEP us SAFE during the exodus/journey; THE LORD *GOD* ALMIGHTY; LOVE! WITH HIM IS LIFE ETERNAL, without HIM IS the end of what is good, right, just, and the soul CREATED FOR LIFE!!!
