Blessed [inwardly peaceful, spiritually secure, worthy of respect] are the gentle [the kind-hearted, the sweet-spirited, the self-controlled], for they will inherit the earth.

Matthew 5:5 (AMB)

I saw a Christian’s careless

critical, judgmental words

deeply wound, maim, and offend.

And I know whenever this occurs

all of Heaven weeps. And yet

tragedy of all tragedies, I saw

fellow Christians laugh and snicker

at the verbal javelin and sin-filled

slander and gossip that was thrown at

someone whose heart, soul, mind, and story

they did not even know.  Arrogantly they did

not even know or try to know how far they

had come! For I know, that I know, that I know

that all of Heaven weeps, as we should when

this shameless sin-filled atrocity occurs! For has,

worldly cruelty become the norm for the Christian?

Heaven forbid these worldly, carnal interactions!

May we as Christ’s warriors, defenders

always, always, always defend, speak up

for those whom God loves. For this is what all

of Heaven applauds! For God loves, loves

loves, loves, loves, loves, loves, loves us all!

Blessed [inwardly peaceful, spiritually secure, worthy

of respect] are the gentle [the kind-hearted, the sweet-spirited,

the self-controlled], for they will inherit the earth.

Blessed [inwardly peaceful, spiritually secure, worthy of respect] are the gentle [the kind-hearted, the sweet-spirited, the self-controlled], for they will inherit the earth.

Matthew 5:5 (AMB)

I saw  a community of passionate Christians

whose passion was to love like Christ loved!

What they did, they did with our Triune’ God’s

ceaseless diamond filled waterfall of great, great,

lavish, kind and tender love no matter what it was!

And many came to know Jesus Christ and were

redeemed all because they put on the Lord Jesus Christ

and lavishly loved. And I imagine with eyes and ears of

faith that whenever this occurs all of Heaven is applauds!

For divine and celestial approval is the Heavenly reward

that all Christians should passionately and ceaselessly seek

for is it not? Blessed [inwardly peaceful, spiritually secure,

worthy of respect] are the gentle [the kind-hearted, the

sweet-spirited, the self-controlled], for they will inherit the earth.

Blessed [inwardly peaceful, spiritually secure, worthy of respect] are the gentle [the kind-hearted, the sweet-spirited, the self-controlled], for they will inherit the earth.

Matthew 5:5 (AMB)

I saw a homeless man and woman

on the streets. Their outward clothes

were tattered. By no fault of their

own they found themselves without

an earthly home. I saw them when

they were hungry.  They gave their

food away to those in need for inside

their hearts lived our Triune God.

They prayed with those who were

hurting and with those who had no

earthly goods. They befriended those

whose earthly smell was repugnant.

I saw those who were rich walk away

when they saw this couple’s poverty

and need. I saw the world frown upon

their selfless acts of Godliness. They

derided them because of their sacrificial

and gentle acts of true and noble righteousness.

And yet no matter how great the derision

and mocking they continued their Godly quest.

While the world ignored, rejected, and shamed them.

Their goal remained the same. For their Christ-given

goal and their inward mission was not dusty earthly

praise but Heavenly applause. Blessed [inwardly

peaceful, spiritually secure, worthy of respect] are

the gentle [the kind-hearted, the sweet-spirited,

the self-controlled], for they will inherit the earth.

So grateful for who our Triune God is and who we are in Christ Jesus our Lord.

If I wrote for a thousand lifetimes, I could not even begin to plummet the

height, depth, breadth, and length of our Savior’s brilliance, immensity,

praiseworthiness, beauty, majesty, and limitless delight and love that He has

for each and every royal joint-heir. So grateful for who our Triune God is and

who we are in Christ Jesus our Lord!

Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.

Jude 24-25 (KJV)

And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the Lord. And, behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the Lord; but the Lord was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the Lord was not in the earthquake: And after the earthquake a fire; but the Lord was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.

I Kings 19: 11-12 (KJV)

So grateful for that still small quiet velvet

voice that leads us, guides us, comforts us,

and shows us the victorious, joy-filled, narrow

way so that we as His royal redeemed heirs

know this is the Heavenly eternal kingdom

paths we are honored and blessed to travel upon.

So grateful for that still small quiet velvet voice!

Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory, and honor, and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure, they are and were created.

Revelation 4:11 (Webster’s Literal Translation)

So grateful, blessed, humbled, and yet

so exuberantly joyful that we can all

know the King of Kings and Lord of Lords

in a personal, individual relationship which

brings us all to our knees as we worship and

say, Worthy art Thou, O Lord, to receive

the glory, and the honor, and the power,

because Thou — Thou didst create all things,

and because of Thy will are they, and they were

created. Worthy, worthy, worthy is the lamb that

was slain. For to thee alone is honor, glory, riches

and power forever and forever and forevermore!

So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.

Colossians 2:6-7 (KJV)

So grateful for all the Saints that are here on earth and those who have passed

into Heaven and are gone to their Heavenly home! So blessed by those who

took the time to invest, correct, disciple, and love us. So grateful to those

whose passion and mission was that Jesus Christ is fully formed and seen in us!

So grateful for those who always want and wanted God’s very best for us!

So grateful! So thankful for all such Christ and word centered precious Saints!

The [boundary] lines [of the land] have fallen for me in pleasant places;
Indeed, my heritage is beautiful to me.

Psalm 16:6 (AMB)

So grateful for the Godly heritage and the brilliant

family that God has so graciously given and bestowed.

So grateful for such an amazing Godly earthly family!

And God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good.

Genesis 1:31 (KJV)

So grateful for each and every Christ-created

fragrant beauty drenched flower. Each petal and

each bloom created and decorated by Jesus Christ

our Savior. Every beautiful elegant creation a metaphor

for the incomprehensible brilliance, beauty, and glory found

in our Savior, friend, and the Master artist of all Creation!

So grateful for each and every fragrant beauty drenched flower

And we know [with great confidence] that God [who is deeply concerned about us] causes all things to work together [as a plan] for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to His plan and purpose.

Romans 8:28 (Amplified)

And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.

Romans 8:28 (New Living)

So grateful that all things work together for our good. For

everything becomes a blessing when Jesus is our everything!

So grateful that all things work together for our good!
