HEAVENLY INCLINED...: FRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDAY, YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!

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...

FRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDAY, YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!

PRAISE THE LORD IT IS FRIDAY! I have had quite the week this week, and I am thankful it is almost behind me:)))

I was treated with respect, and dignity early this morning, and I am ever appreciative! In this world, it is often, long and far between people whom have manners, respect, regard, and can treat others as if they count, and when it happens, I celebrate such a person! BLESSED IS the one who can treat ALL people as if they matter, indeed!!!

There is something right in every *GOD* given day, and there is something of delight, too! Yes, it depends on the person to recognize, or reject what is right, and delightful, but, good is right here! I can't figure out why people fail to find the good in the day, it is not obscured, though, I understand that many are, simply, overwhelmed with the other stuff, and can't find the will to get through it buoyantly, but, it doesn't have to be this way! There IS plenty of good, plenty of beauty, and the impressive abundance of *GOD* all around us...

Busy, I have been bussssssy, though by Wednesday, all should return to some normalcy! Of course, one never knows what the next few hours will hold, let alone the next few days! THE LORD willing, it will be just fine:)))

There is a LOT of bad going on in this world, and MOST of it stems from lack of understanding, and LOVE! The news I receive from what is happening all over, is heartbreaking at times, and I wish I could make things better for us all, but, until THE LORD, and HIS LOVE become the center, and focus of our time here, it is likely to remain the same, or worsen! It is really sad because, it IS within us to change the world, to eradicate what is wrong, and to live in the PEACE of LOVE. Such mentality is NOT for dreamers, it IS THE WAY which *GOD* WISELY, and SOUNDLY PRESCRIBES! Let us PRAY without ceasing, and never forget just HOW powerful PRAYER, and almsgiving are!!!

It is FRIDAY, time to concentrate on good vibrations, and goodness for the entire being! Time to send what wasn't good of the past week, beyond the atmosphere! Time to put on a happy face, breathe deeply, and find a calm, comfortable groove to get into for the duration of the weekend!!!

Wishing you a most JOYOUS day, with MUCH LOVE! Take care, and YAY it is FRIDAY! May *GOD* BLESS, and BE with us ALL! May we BLESS, and HONOUR HIM with PRAISE, WORSHIP, and REJOICING, for HE IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD, and SOOOOOOOOOOO right here with us! ENJOY!!! OXOXOXOX
