It's Not About You, It's About HIM

 Meanwhile...

If I could say anything, all in all ... of what I've Seen...

IT IS NOT ABOUT YOU!

Thank God for air, existence, water . . . some food ....

What you find yourself doing . . . is surging, yearning towards LOVING GOD. 

Everything besides that is a distraction.

How and why do the angels spend all of their eternal time singing glorious hymns and songs dedicated to the honor, glory, unfathomable reality of GOD?  Moment after timeless moment... this is what they do.  From before time, through time and after time... through eternity. . . . .

Oh, we should be so blessed!  

Once you get even the slightest micro sliver of seeing His glory and light... EVEN A FAINT SLIVER!  THAT ALONE . . . is enough to find yourself on your face, face down, in awe, that HE IS WHO IS IS ........... THE ALPHA AND OMEGA!!!

Words don't do justice to even attempt to describe what you see and know and acknowledge Who He Is!

HE IS GOD!   

He is THE ALL IN ALL!

YOU... meanwhile . . . with petty temporary concerns, trying to make a big splash in the fleeting material world and mortal life . . . are a fool, if you so do. . . . 

The suffering and burden borne . . . by The Son . . . Who died in the flesh, yet rose, defeating death . . . is beyond mortal appreciation and understanding.  The only way you might grasp it--be invested and a part of it--IS ONLY ... BY HIS GRACE.

He IS love . . . and gracious!  Merciful. And wholly Holy. 

He is all in all . . . and has no need whatsoever to do ANYTHING for you.

If you find yourself loving and serving and suffering in this (quick, brutal temporary mortal) life then PRAISE GOD!

There is a perfect Divine justice to it all.  Those who hate God . . . get what they want.  Justice.  They hate God and want nothing to do with Him.  And so, they fairly get what they want.

What do you crave, yearn for?  

Truth?  God?   

Or..... just stupid, myopic temporary self-seeking/fulfilment.... ?

The Lord came down to this realm . . . and suffered ALL that we have or might have had gone through.  He took it all upon Himself, through His only begotten Son. . . .

Tempted in all things...

Yet, perfect....

He conquered all.  The proof was rising from the dead.  NO ONE EVER BUT JESUS DID THAT!

And all of the witnesses... Apostles... went to their tortuous dying ends proclaiming what they had witnessed! ...... They could not and did not and would not DENY what and Who they saw, heard, knew.

The Lord IS coming soon.

The Lord is HERE NOW, having gifted His Holy Spirit to succor those who believe and have faith.

Everything needed for guidance . . . is Written.

Everything that can console the troubled soul yearning for solace and truth and the Lord . . . has been given.

All to do . . . is to press into faith, belief, hope and trust in The Word, guided by the Holy Spirit, searching for yearning for, loving The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit Together, Who are together ONE . . . and the ONLY TRUE LIVING SOVEREIGN GOD OF ALL.

Heaven is a place . . . where . . . GOD . . . shares HIS immutable reality with His deigned and perfect subjects, for His and their endless righteous pleasure.

The devil people hate that.  THEY want to usurp WHAT IS.

THEY want to subvert what is Truth!.

They got given a pittance of existence . . . and then got full of themselves, and want to overthrow THE THRONE OF GOD.

The LORD is GOD.  Usurpers, upstarts are NOT.  They don't realize or accept that they only exist as a subject creature BECAUSE OF HIS DESIGN.

He is an awesome and fearful God.

He is Who He Is.

You can either accept it or reject it.

Here's what you can't do. . . . OVERTHROW HIM!

Fools--those who think they can. . . .

We suffer for His Name and Glory's sake! . . . For now. . . . 

THEN.......... the reward!

Stay fast, true, in love, in submission to The Lord, THE ONE TRUE AND  HOLY GOD.
