HEAVENLY INCLINED...: HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY WITH 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...

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY WITH LOVE!!!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY, with LOVE! It is difficult for me to write about Mother's Day, but, I AM a Mother myself, and KNOW we deserve to be celebrated; more than once a year, at that!!!

A mother can be glorious or terrible, benevolent or filled with wrath, but she commands love either way. I am convinced that this is the greatest power in the universe.--- N.K. Jemisin---

I found this quote, and it is so true, save for the fact that she is the greatest power in the universe, because ONLY *GOD* is that power! A Mother might be the greatest power in the human realm, but not in the universe, although *GOD* IS SURELY active in the Mother's HE has CREATED! HIS handiwork IS obvious in Motherhood, because we have SO many roles, responsibilities, and dimensions, which could NOT function optimally without HIS GENIUS!!!

*GOD* CREATED Mother's for the purpose of multiplying, and for the purpose of 'handling' the overall shaping of societies, one Child at a time! HE gave us strength unprecedented, and abilities unlimited! HE gave us wisdom which just kind of appears during the course of our Mothering! HE provided endlessly for our capacities TOWARDS the future of Mankind...

GOOD Mother's are VALUABLE, ESSENTIAL, and CRUCIAL to the continuance, and betterment of life in this realm! There are 93 BIBLE verses concerning Mother's and their roles! These speak of the kind of Mothers whom instill *GOD* in their offspring, and set an example that will lend strength, productivity, and so forth...

You know, to this late date in time, there are still a LOT of good Mother's out there, but there are also, more than enough not so good ones, and even terrible ones, HOWEVER, what I learned from my own life, and lack is this, even a not so great Mother, inadvertently, teaches us, and through their flaws, show us the right way! Of course this only applies to people that are ABLE to take the good from the bad, and are WILLING to acknowledge that any good can come from the bad; otherwise, it won't make sense to those who choose to cling to the wrongs! All things in this life HAVE the power to bring us to THE LIGHT, and to the good, yes, even the bad, BECAUSE we learn from them, AND they help us to develop into whom we are, which hopefully, is good, productive, and full of knowledge...

Motherhood is a BLESSED state, if a Woman's heart is in it, and especially if she KNOWS *GOD*, and exists in HIS WILL, although again, those that don't, have, somewhere in the mix, seeds that can aid their Children rightly, even if that is after they suffer what is wrong. This may not make sense to many people, but I am living proof that the seed of righteousness CAN, and DOES burst forth even in bad soils...

I LOVE being a Mother, it is one of the greatest BLESSINGS *GOD* gave me, and while it has been filled with LOTS of challenges, it has been a wondrous learning, and growing experience, and I am happy to say that my Child is a TRUE testimony of my LOVE, devotion, and diligence, and of *GOD*! There is NO better reward for a Mother than to KNOW that her Children are VISIBLE products of her LOVE, and care! This applies to *GOD* as well; there is nothing more awesome than for HIM to SEE HIS Children growing on the vines of righteousness!!!

Some Mother's are placed, or place themselves, in dire circumstances, and have more obstacles than anything, yet, some of these manage to raise incredible Children! As with our relationship with *GOD*, it all begins, and ends in the heart!!!

I wish ALL Mother's a HAPPY MOTHER'S Day, with LOVE, and BLESSINGS from the HEAVENS ABOVE! You are IMPERATIVE to this world, in more ways than anyone could hope to depict, and you are special in countless ways, give PRAISE, and GLORY TO *GOD* for HIS hand in Motherhood, and HIS every provision therein! ENJOY this day, and *GOD* BE with you, and be ever encouraged by HIS LOVE!!! OXOXOXO

We, the Mother's of this world, are as cocoons, and our offspring are as butterflies; we sustain them, and show them the ways of their flights, we instill in them the discernment which allows them to choose between the wrongs, and the rights, and we inspire them to heighten their sights, as they flutter amidst HEAVENLY LIGHTS! We PRAY for them, we HOPE for them, we keep them in our heart, in our mind, and we continue to guide them, mystically, when they leave us behind, as they navigate what is in this world to find, as we THANK *GOD* for HIS every assistance, so DIVINE!!! lw'14
