BELIEVE THE TRUTH!

 First off GOD BLESS YOU!

If I haven't written too much lately, it's only because I have so much to say!

It would be books and books.

So, I want to be circumspect and respectful and, also, as the "times" are so in a flux, I am also continuing to watch and learn and listen . . . and (not being faux pious here) I SO respect and tremble and . . . feel so small compared to the slivers of Light that come through, I barely take a breathe, let alone attempt to pontificate.

YET, as one who sees and hears and feels the Truth of God (albeit in meager ability, mere mortal) . . . HE does compel (righteously) us to share.  There is a great and humble and special delicate powerful beauty in the whisperings of The Spirit and how it is shouted, whispered, hugged, acknowledged among those who know and believe.  It is a precious thing.  Especially amidst cacophony, hatred, chaos, deception, noise, attacks etc., and etc.

In the midst of battle, of the spiritual battle . . . always go to The Cross.

Everything that matters, as far as we mortals, humans are concerned . . . centers on what The Lord did, accomplished on that tree, that cross.

If you are a true believer . . . you have grasped some little shred . . . of the agony and burden and curse and penalty FOR ALL that He bore in that time.  Even just as a man--what He went through!  The mocking, the beatings, the torture, the calumnies . . . physically, LET ALONE, and most of all .... BEARING THE WEIGHT OF ALL THE SIN THAT EVER WAS, IS, AND WILL BE!!!!  BEARING THAT IN THE SPIRIT? SOUL?  COMBINED WITH THE PHYSICAL ABUSE!!!!

An innocent, perfect man!  GOD HIMSELF, abasing Himself to bear ALL of the burden and crimes of fallen humanity!  

Ohh... just even grasping a bare, side-eyed, jaded glance at THAT . . . is . . . devastating to behold!

His glory is seen there!  His character!  His Love!  His sacrifice!  

And all to do . . . is to just BELIEVE!

YES.  HE IS MESSIAH!  CHRIST! 

All else is a mess, as far as "spirituality" goes.

All else is deception and mis-direction.

God came in flesh.  Lived as a man, human.  He delved into the depths of His own creation, knowing it from top to bottom, left to right, every which way around!  HE KNOWS OUR TRAVAILS!  HE EMPTIED HIMSELF of His divine power, to experience and exemplify THE GODLY HUMAN LIFE!

Of course, WE can't do that!  BUT WE CAN ASPIRE! We can acknowledge, witness Who and what He was, IS!  THAT IS ALL that is required.  THAT IS FAITH.  You cannot please God without such faith.

The rest will follow.  If you can see and believe and commit and repent and love GOD for Who and what He did for us fallen . . . well, THAT IS ALL THAT IS REQUIRED.

Good works will follow.

Belief is key.  

Those who follow the law, are bound by the law, and will be judged by the law.

Our Lord is gracious and merciful, such that we just need to Believe.

Believe He is Who He said He Is.

He is the only one who CONQUERED the curse of death!

And he bestows HIS righteousness, freely, simply, on those who BELIEVE in Him.

It is so profoundly simple! Yet, the most challenging of all life's tasks!

Praise God, that He gave us The Way, and that we can find Him and be with Him through simple, profound, courageous belief and faith in Him--The TRUTH!
