HEAVENLY INCLINED...: NO MATTER WHAT SOME MAY SAY, NO MATTER WHAT ASPIRES TO GET IN THE WAY, IT 'IS' A *GOD* BLESSED & BEAUTIFUL DAY!!!

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...

NO MATTER WHAT SOME MAY SAY, NO MATTER WHAT ASPIRES TO GET IN THE WAY, IT 'IS' A GOD BLESSED & BEAUTIFUL DAY!!!

Despite the day being laden with what is natural to this life, this IS a *GOD* given, and beautiful day! The world over is experiencing their share of negatives, but I INSIST, in the name of THE LORD *GOD* ALMIGHTY, there IS beauty, and good in this time!!!

It is SO gorgeous outside, chilly, but just absolutely gorgeous, and I DO have much to be thankful for, grateful for, and to appreciate, therefore I PRAISE & WORSHIP THE LORD with all my heart, and I seek HIM to add to this time...

We ALL have our own sets of problems, troubles, and obstacles, HOWEVER, we ARE UP to it, IF we are empowered by THE HOLY, ALL POWERFUL LORD! That we are alive, indicates we have survived what we have faced this far, and that is worth taking to heart, and be thankful for, yes?!!

Designed for endurance, WE ARE; and IF we are on course, we TRAIN in perseverance, WHILE finding what is right, just, and good in this GIFT of time, which IS ever before us, all we need do is to seek HIM, and we will notice the good of HIS PRESENCE in diverse ways!!!

It still blows my mind that we so EASILY get wrapped up in what is wrong over what is right! We are EASILY discouraged, down-heartened, despaired, when it we COULD just as easily be encouraged, UP-spirited, and joyous, no matter what comes of the hours of this day! WHY are we so negatively inclined, when POSITIVITY REIGNS SUPREME? Negatives ONLY have power because we GIVE them power, and for those who wallow in them, HAVE you TRIED giving the POSITIVE the same power? Listen, believe me, I KNOW all about pain, suffering, agony, and the rest of the downers of life, but really, should I declare that as my lot? NO WAY, THE LORD IS MY LOT, and IS my PROVISION, and IS my DELIVERER from what would take me under, and down! I cry daily for the world, as I PRAY, then I smile because I KNOW *GOD* IS in our midst, and HE IS moving mountains, according to HIS WILL!!!

While we may cry, weep, wail, and release all sorts of sorrows,
We must PRAY to *GOD* ABOVE, and not hold onto the yesterdays, nor the tomorrows;
Instead, right now, we should grasp the hand of THE ONE who fashioned our heart, our soul,
Surrendering the negatives, that HE will make us whole... lw'14

There is NO other way to be rid of the binds of what is normal to this plane, this realm, than to reach out to *GOD*, and TRUST HIM enough to be able to FIND the good in this time! WHO else could lead us past, and through; WHO else could have the POWER, and WISDOM necessary to do so???

It IS a beautiful day, and I proclaim it JOYOUSLY, and THANKFULLY, despite what else is in the mix, because *GOD* IS THE SOURCE of this day, the EVIDENCE of it, and the very LIGHT which as a laser, cuts through, and eradicates the darkness, the dismal gloom, and the heavy weight of the shroud of deception! REJOICE IN HIS PRESENCE! BLESS, and PRAISE HIM ALWAYS! WORSHIP HIS HOLINESS! GIVE THANKS FOR HIS ATTENTIVE, and LOVING CARE for us! FIND HIM, CLING TO HIM, and the day WILL REFLECT HIM!!!

May THE LORD BLESS, and BE with us all! May we BE with HIM, and BLESS HIM, as well asne another! MUCH LOVE, take care, and I wish you the JOY of THE LORD! PRAY, PRAY, PRAY, and TRUST with ALL your hearts!!!
