QUALITY MATTERS, in EVERY area of life! *GOD* CREATED us TO BE, or better yet, TO BECOME QUALITY exemplifications of HIS QUALITIES, WHICH ARE PURE, HOLY, SOUND, PRINCIPLED, SURE, TRIED, and TESTED!!!
The world today, is forsaking Quality in diverse ways! Quality is lacking all over the board, but what matters most is the diminishing QUALITY of GOODNESS from the human realm, which then, affects all else, how could it not?! Even Quality time is ignored!!!
When GOOD human qualities diminish, all that comes of us, is lacking in quality as well, ranging from honesty, to fidelity, all the way through harvest, materials, products, and integrity of sales. EVERYTHING suffers when QUALITY is forsaken!!!
The QUALITIES of the *GODLY* are NOT sub-standard, they are SUPERNATURAL-standard! As we dig deeper into HIS WORD, AFTER HIS PROMISE of salvation, acceptance of CHRIST JESUS as THE LORD, and the bid for us to repent, throughout, we are TAUGHT the need for becoming people of QUALITY...
THE LORD requires QUALITY in HIS people, as HIS KINGDOM is without less than the BEST; it is untainted, incorruptible, and without any wrong! The thing is, we WERE CREATED IN QUALITY, and it DOES exist within, but like all things, is affected by free will, for alas, we have the choice to improve what is *GOD* given, or to deny, and defy it...
HE bids us to have Quality of character, quality in behaviours, in thought, in actions, and reactions! Quality is about LOVE, compassion, kindness, integrity, honesty, goodness, paying it forward, and ALL which is right, just, and good, according TO HIS WILL! Quality is OPTIMAL for society, optimal for Marriage, optimal for advancements, optimal for obtainment, and on it goes! When quality lessens in society, things begin to deteriorate, and get worse before they get better. Regardless if we want to be quality people or not, the way it is, without quality in our lives, we will learn some harsh lessons, which WILL turn our minds, hearts, spirits, and actions right back to quality, because life is really ugly without it, and those whom belong to *GOD*, somewhere along the line ARE brought into their reality...
Let's take a look into this for a moment---
2 PETER 1: 3-11...
3/ seeing that His divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness, through the true knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence.
4/ For by these He has granted to us His precious and magnificent promises, so that by them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world by lust.
5/ Now for this very reason also, applying all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence, and in your moral excellence, knowledge,
6/ and in your knowledge, self-control, and in your self-control, perseverance, and in your perseverance, godliness,
7/ and in your godliness, brotherly kindness, and in your brotherly kindness, love.
8/ For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they render you neither useless nor unfruitful in the true knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9/ For he who lacks these qualities is blind or short-sighted, having forgotten his purification from his former sins.
10/ Therefore, brethren, be all the more diligent to make certain about His calling and choosing you; for as long as you practice these things, you will never stumble;
11/ for in this way the entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will be abundantly supplied to you.
2 PETER 3: 10-18...
10/ But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements will be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth and its works will be burned up.
11/ Since all these things are to be destroyed in this way, what sort of people ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness,
12/ looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be destroyed by burning, and the elements will melt with intense heat!
13/ But according to His promise we are looking for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwells.
14/ Therefore, beloved, since you look for these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, spotless and blameless,
15/ and regard the patience of our Lord as salvation; just as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given him, wrote to you,
16/ as also in all his letters, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which the untaught and unstable distort, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures, to their own destruction.
17/ You therefore, beloved, knowing this beforehand, be on your guard so that you are not carried away by the error of unprincipled men and fall from your own steadfastness,
18/ but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory, both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.
We think differently, we act differently, we react differently, because we are FREED from the bonds of oppressive forces which have misled us, and kept us in the murkiness of negativity, despair, deception, and all which inhibits the very QUALITIES which we hold because we ARE OF THE LORD! The enemy KNOWS our QUALITIES, but aspires to blind us from them, and to keep them from encouraging others in the world. The enemy is jealous of our *GOD* GIVEN QUALITIES, and our ABILITIES TO ARISE from what is of this world, after all, said enemy has put ALL of his effort into OBSCURING *GOD*, and QUALITY from us!!!
We ARE to imitate CHRIST JESUS, and to improve our beings premised upon HIS NATURE of PURE QUALITY! When QUALITY increases, we KNOW we are ON THE PATH, for there is no other way to measure our progress than to step UP into that which defines, and boosts the POWER OF GRACE working within us! QUALITY becomes second nature for us, even if it is denied by the world, and IS PLEASING TO THE LORD, for it PROVES our hearts, and PROVIDES OPTIMAL results of GOODNESS in our wake, for others to be inspired by, and FOR HIS GLORY!!!
Let us EVER seek QUALITY, and BE QUALITY people! Let us leave QUALITY behind in our footsteps, and by example teach QUALITY to the world, that ALL which is rooted in QUALITY, begins to thrive, and flourish, for the GOOD of ALL, and THE GLORY OF *GOD*!!!
BLESS THE LORD, PRAISE HIM ALWAYS, WORSHIP HIS HOLINESS, REJOICE IN HIS PRESENCE, and LOVING CARE for us, BE THANKFUL, and GRATEFUL, HONOUR HIM BY willing submission to HIS WILL, and BY SHINING OF HIM, EXALT HIM, LOVE AS HE HAS LOVED, and PRAY, PRAY, PRAY!!!
