No More Crying There
If I can take the time to notice, I will see that highlighted are the words No more cryin there. Then I will also know the purpose of this blog, you see, I tire and grow weary of crying and of others sorrow. I will be glad of that day when Jesus comes to take us home. Then we will on longer have to worry that someone will make us cry or that someone will hurt someone else and make them cry. I will rejoice in that day. What a day that will be when we meet on the celestial shores with our loved ones who have gone on before us.When we all get to Heaven.
But for now we must live on this crowded, infected, filthy planet. Sure, it is my home and I love it, but what of it? People have become the plague and pestilence of Biblical proportions. People corrupt one another and the earth they tread upon. If only they could see the one true bridge which conquers and connects us all. And that is love. How simple. What a command. Love one another. Oh my gosh, huh? Interesting concept. Wow. Love is the bridge. When we think in love for one another good things happen. God is love, and every good and perfect gift IS from the Father. Love. Love conquers all.
So, maybe I need to take the time to point out what is NOT love. I will start with my short-comings. I am quick to anger, such a short fuse. I do not have time to think before I speak because I am going instantly to rage.
That is just wrong. I am not working from a point of love if my first reaction is an explosion. Anger has an appropriate time or place but in the middle of a crisis it ha no place when it is unchecked. What goes along with anger is getting loud, calling names, and yeah: yelling and screaming. Sometimes I just wish I knew where my own off button is. I probably have gobs of other faults but I figure that is a good start and unraveled several bad examples.
What needs to happen instead of this heightened defense mechanism is some peace, patience, tolerance and understanding. I really do not want to function in this world out of step with God's will anymore. My wish is to walk in love, to sew seeds of God's Will. I want to be where God wants me to be. I want bad influences shriveled up and blown away with the breeze of God's Word. I want what god wants for my life and the lives of the ones I must care for. I am tired of opposition and being surrounded by filth and ungodliness. I want the broom that sweeps our hearts out to get rid of what hurts God and the ones we love.
I want out of any situation that is keeping me from God's heart. I don't feel free to do my thing, which is God's thing. I pray for a tearing down of barriers between us and Peace, Love, and our Lord. Soon and very soon.
So, rejoice; rejoice in the Lord ALWAYS and again I say REJOICE. Count it all Joy. May His Merciful Blessings flow bounteously to all who love him and call on His Holy Name: see: http://www.smilegodlovesyou.org/names.html

Our Father, which art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy Name.
Thy Kingdom come.
Thy will be done in earth,
As it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive them that trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
Hallowed be thy Name.
Thy Kingdom come.
Thy will be done in earth,
As it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive them that trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
The power, and the glory,
For ever and ever.
Amen.

Give us strength till we reach the other side.
