HEAVENLY INCLINED...: LOVE IS HOUSED, YET, MUST BE SET FREE!!!

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 HOUSED, YET, MUST BE SET FREE!!!

At this very moment in time, there are roughly 7.5 billion storage units which house the probability, and possibility of LOVE; these units are called the heart,
And from within them can be found all which is necessary, and indeed needed, for our woes on this Earth, to depart!
Eden could be rediscovered, if we, the holders of what is right, just, and good,
Simply embrace the optimizing behaviours we possess, as we should...

We have the potential to be either right or wrong, weak or strong, negative or positive,
Of course, we are influenced by the world, in which we live;
Hatred is learned, and is born of evil, and pride,
While LOVE is innately one with us, from deep, deep inside...

Many are prone to follow the wickedness of this realm,
Never realizing, or acknowledging that purity is at the helm,
Thus, these are tossed about, creating havoc for all in their path,
Continual problems for everyone, arises in the aftermath...

It is easy to give in to the ways of the enemy, so many have, and do,
Totally deceived that it, ultimately, works against those who choose to!
Yah, it is difficult to exist as we were created to, in LOVE, HOPE, and PEACE,
Yet, if we did, the onslaught of conflict, and discord, would cease...

We were made in THE LORD'S image; this is not physical, it is of the spirit,
The very core of whom we are, and the end results of what we will get!
A liar has reign over us for a while, and he does his work tirelessly,
To keep us deluded enough, that our TRUTH, we won't seek, or see...

However, one day, this crafty one, along with those whom he has taken,
Shall find that their chance for life, has been forsaken!
THIS is not our home; there is much more beyond what we see, or touch,
ALL must consider the facts, what is tangible doesn't account for much...

EACH person has a storehouse of virtue, of affection, of absolute compassion,
Nothing which leads us aright, has been left to ration;
Our reality is one of greatness; we have been endowed so well,
With qualities, and attributes which ARE far stronger than the chains of hell...

Tap into the being, explore the contents to the very center; you will find,
A LOT more than what is present in emotions, or mind!
FREE your heart, and allow LOVE to flow through; grab onto it's might,
I assure you the difference is like day, or night...

WHY settle for the sorrows which this planet has unleashed, and taught?
WHY settle for in the fires, being caught?
*GOD* GAVE US POWER TO LIVE FOREVER, and this, in endless gratuity,
NOW IS THE TIME to open the heart, the eyes, and let in the excellence of HIS GLORY;
Jump into LOVE that abundance is yours, eternally!!!
