Grief and grieving in a dying world. (Little more)

Hey all!! Next week back to Isaiah, GOD willing, this one has been on my mind and heart for a while now. In that yes, we are called to bare sorrow of those who are sorrowful, this isn't "I'm happy" fake crap. JESUS, The LORD and GOD of all the universe said that we can only worship The FATHER in Spirit and Truth. HE supplies the Spirit, heck HIS HOLY SPIRIT makes prayers out of our aching sighs and lament filled woes. So yeah, this isn't "Fake being happy till you make it." Happy is an emotion, if you only have the one emotion, that's not really bearing HIS image. More so when GOD displays all sorts of emotion throughout the Bible, be it The FATHER or The SON. So we have to be real with how we are doing and what we are feeling -I will give you a legit answer if you ask, cause I dislike "how are you" in it's many forms being rhetorical- and Truth. Not a "personal truth" or a "historical truth" or pick an expression from Picard's speech to Westley but TRUTH, in that JESUS is The Way, The Truth, The LIFE. Truth: The worst moment of your life, ever, will be just that, a moment. Truth: If JESUS Is KING over your life, it will get harder, and it will become a different kind of easier. Truth: Whom The SON sets free, **is free**, even if, and especially when, it doesn't feel like it. Truth: You cannot escape GOD'S love, so stop resisting it. Truth: There are more for us than against us. Truth: Where there is life, there is hope; because HE Is There. The World looks like Nineveh, and our commission a call to repentance that the world might turn to HIM, humble themselves, and pray because GOD never changes HIS mind about blessing someone, HE does relent in judgment when the heart turns to HIM. HE did on Nineveh, let us pray the "kings" of each nation come to bow before HIS feet before they are made to.

Even this is a little over the place and it's because the idea is so very very vast, yet so profoundly simple it' baffling. Our reality is love, faith, and hope the world's reality is death, hell, and the grave. They grieve because they instinctually know they are dying. We who are alive get to share the reality we live in and from, we share The-ONE-Who-Is-Living-Water so that they might come free from the grave, raised to new life by The Power of The Blood; JESUS'S Blood shed for us. We were slaves to sin once, no more. We were dying once, no more. We were bound for death, hell, and the grave, no more. Our names are written in The LAMB'S Book of life by Faith in HIM, how "easy" it gets depends on how quickly we are to let HIM take the lead. (Stubborn oxen are of little in the field and horses need to be broken to be of use in war.) That is HIS given prayer though, "...YOUR Kingdom come, YOUR Will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven..." "HIS will done on earth" starts in the heart of the earthling that has come to call JESUS, KING.
