HEAVENLY INCLINED...: LOVE 'IS' HERE, IT 'IS' THERE, IT 'IS' EVERYWHERE!!!

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...

LOVE 'IS' HERE, IT 'IS' THERE, IT 'IS' EVERYWHERE!!!

LOVE IS THE WAY! Unfortunately, LOVE is perceived according to human ways, and will, instead of according to *GOD'S* WILL, and WAYS; thus, there isn't a constant increase in LOVE, as most see it, and measure it in lieu of their personal experience of human LOVE, which we ALL know can be fickle, incomplete, self-inclined, conditional, and used wrongly---

The LOVE which THE LORD *GOD* BIDS of us IS FAR greater than our inferior LOVE! It does NOT require reciprocation, though when someone LOVES as HE bids, that is no contest! It spirals forth in wholesome goodness, with compassion, kindness, gentleness, concern, respect, regard, and much, much more for ALL; it is never able to withhold itself, and does not discriminate! LOVE EXISTS FOR THE GOOD OF ALL IN CREATION; IT IS A MEANS TO AN END; IT IS SUSTAINING, SUBSTANTIAL, and SUFFICIENT! IT IS SELFLESS, it is ever forwarding what is right, just, and good, FOR THE GOOD OF ALL, and ultimately, THE GLORY OF *GOD*! IN this LOVE there is NO weakness, NO breach, NOTHING which can diminish, or destroy it, EXCEPT for the humans whom just don't know it, or receive it, or embrace it! WE ARE the ONLY beings IN CREATION, besides the enemy, who resists it's natural, and continual flowing forward! Our resistance does NOT hinder it, or stop it, instead, it moves on without us, so to speak...

IN this LOVE IS GRACE, MERCY, and ALL which brings to LIGHT, our LORD *GOD*, and HIS HOLY NATURE! AS HE offers GRACE, MERCY, FORGIVENESS, and more, out of HIS UNDYING, and UNCHANGING LOVE, so shall those who receive, and exist IN HIM! LOVE sees the wrongs of the world set aright, and is ever sharing! LOVE feeds, and quenches, and clothes, and houses, and CARES for everyone, and everything! Recall that HE left us as caretakers OF the Earth, and ALL whom inhabit it; LOVE HAS THUS PROVIDED, DESPITE the fact that the caretakers might not partake in their duties, or reject the LOVE which placed them in position...

It IS complex, and complicated, BUT ONLY because we have difficulty grasping WHY we NEED to step away from the flesh, as we are reared in the flesh, which teaches, it is each for their own, hence, the reason we have such troubles in this realm! Pride negates LOVE, albeit it CANNOT dispute it honestly, nor can it destroy it, though it might seem like this is the case! Pride simply, denies LOVE in it's TRUTH, but LOVE YET REMAINS; it CANNOT disappear, nor diminish; it just REMAINS but when rejected, is not seen, felt, or noticed...

LOVE ISN'T going anywhere; it IS HERE, it IS THERE, it IS EVERYWHERE; and it truly, does NOT NEED us, but, HOPES that we step into it, and exist in it, for then, we would experience it in it's fullest, in which case, the benefits ARE beyond our expectations!!!

Sadly, one cannot know the fullness of LOVE without knowing THE LORD *GOD*, and THIS IS THE essence of HIS PLAN to fill THE KINGDOM of everlasting PEACE!!!

And so, HIS people; those who KNOW HIM, and HIS LOVE, ARE those whom leave trace, and lead others TO HIM, and LOVE! With knowledge, understanding, wisdom, and practicing HIS WILL, even unknowingly, they might inspire, and guide others!!!

In EACH generation there HAS been a refusal of *GOD*, and HIS LOVE, but I tell you, rarely has history known the kind of belligerent, arrogant, and stubborn denial as in this one; which means, those OF HIM, and of LOVE, MUST BE ABLAZE IN TRUTH, that they SHINE in the increasing darkness!!!

NOTHING BUT *GOD*, and LOVE CAN, or WILL offer what is necessary to a better world, and NOTHING would please THE LORD *GOD* more than for this to happen, and for ALL to discover just how benevolent HE, and LOVE ARE!!!

GIVE what you HOPE for! DO unto others what you would have them do unto you! BE A BLESSING TO RECEIVE BLESSINGS! LOVE AS HE HAS LOVED, and REMAIN IN THIS LOVE, NO MATTER WHAT! In these ways HE IS GLORIFIED, HONOURED, AND SHOWN TO this very troubled, woeful world, EVEN THOUGH HE, and LOVE ARE EVER PRESENT!!!
