HEAVENLY INCLINED...: HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY WITH LOVE & APPRECIATION...

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 & APPRECIATION...

Happy Mother's Day!!!

While I have a tough time with Mother's Day, due to my own background, I appreciate, and admire all the Women whom have taken their role as Mother to heart, and as the backbone of their Families, have poured themselves into a wide variety of roles, and responsibilities in rearing their Children; I am a Mother too...

*GOD* CREATED Women to be diverse, and tough! Our job description involves endless skills, many of which we acquire on our feet, and in action! Nothing, nor anyone can prepare us accurately, or completely, thus, we learn as we go, and with our Families, we grow! We won't be perfect, and we surely, make mistakes, but such is what builds character, principles, and more in us, and our Husbands, and offspring! Even Mary was confounded many times in her role as Mother of Christ Jesus, and she would just take things to heart, while continuing on with LOVE, patience, and acceptance of her imperative duty...

ONLY a Mother knows what Motherhood means! No matter how one might try to share the truth therein, it is never enough to honestly depict what it entails! Even some Mother's never understand, and so, when Motherhood is embraced properly, it IS worthy of celebration, and note, indeed! I commend all the Women whom have championed the commission of Motherhood!!!

Sometimes Mother's feel unappreciated, or as if they lack in certain areas of their lives, but, seriously, their every effort, every gesture of LOVE, every gain in the experience, matters; not only in their Familial units, but throughout societies, and the future! It is especially rewarding as we notice our Children as functioning, productive, caring, and thriving Adults; THIS is when we know, our undertaking was NOT in vain! And sometimes, despite a Mother's great gifts, Children don't turn out exactly as expected, but that does not belittle the honest, and LOVING diligence of the Mother...

Motherhood IS crucial to the continuance of humanity, but it runs much deeper than that! Anyone can reproduce, but that is NOT enough! Our work is supernaturally motivated; more than we might even sense, and HAS great purpose TO THE LORD *GOD*, HIS WILL, and HIS PLAN for ALL! Our offspring ARE the future, and our aim is that they contribute to the good of others, and THE GLORY OF *GOD*, DESPITE this being refuted! Without SOUND instruction premised upon what is OF *GOD*; what is right, just, and good, well, societies take on the evil of the world, and decay in the negative forces therein...

In good times, in bad times, you ARE the backbone of your Family, and your endless resources, which spring up via THE LORD, SURELY, ARE constantly rewarded, even when it seems otherwise!!!

Anyway, to all you Mother's who understand, and adapt to your own particular, and BLESSED role, may *GOD* BE with you, and BLESS you! May you take to heart that your tireless, and affectionate care IS worthy, and IS key! May you relax a bit, and know that you ARE making a difference, and that HE IS WITH you every inch of the way! May you realize just how special your every undertaking IS, as you lend to the world, something uniquely you, in your Children!!!
