Love never ends..

The faithful love of The Lord never ends. His mercies never cease. They are new every morning- Great is His faithfulness. I say to myself The Lord is my inheritance, therefore I will hope in Him. Lamentations 3:22-24 (PM Version)

The faithful love of
The Lord never ends.
His mercies never
cease, they don't depend..

They are new every 
morning- Great is His 
faithful heart's reverie -
is his faithfulness.

I say to myself 
The Lord is all my 
inheritance, so
I will recall why..

I'll trace my purpose..
and erase my fears.
I'll place my hope, as
though Joy swallows tears...

I'll find my hope in,
Him who is Shalom.
his Hesed copes in
times of greatest wrong...

Brothers United!

Check OUT - how wonderful, how pleasant too,
it is when family together live -
not just nearby, though that brings things to do,
& projects that they each together give

and offer to the common-unity
(a purpose and a cause worth dying for,
that's bigger than both your and my - whitty/
small self-willed hopes we drop upon the floor).

A FAMILY is something bigger than
the father & the mother, & the kid(s).
It brings with it some parts to play and when
we play our part, we know some parts are hid.

And that's no "problem"! Bless-ed we are then!
We're trusting that the model of it all,
knew how to set it up for us right when
the human race was made, and set to crawl.

There may have been some trials & some falls,
we may have had some problems even then.
But given that we would not answer calls,
obey, - when that was not a hard option;

how could we learn the secret motive force
of fam'ly living (in all of it's ways)?
The glory of the family, of course,
is in the kind of love that it displays.

This unity behind the Ways and Means,
behind the Plans, Devices that are set,
is shown off by the way we hold our dreams.
God, your dreams we would like to dream more yet.

BEHOLD; how wonderful and how pleasant it is. For brethren to dwell together in unity. Psalm 133:1 (PM Version)

Txt from PW:... everything necessary for life and godliness. 2 Peter ch1 +

Wow,  Lord, how good are you our shepherd true.
Thank you, for even letting us be yours.
Our comfort comes from your dis-cip-line to
grow us up strong, and trusting, true, because

you love us, & you know our deep-down needs,
& then  protect us from our enemies.
We want these garden-lives to grow from seeds,
the kind of crop that makes you very pleased.

And so you are "our Gar-den-er" as well,
we are your field or garden plot then too.
So please dig out, cut off, and throw to hell
(the rubbish dump) whatever you would do..

today's prayer..

I'll listen to you!
that is what I'll do 
I'll go for a walk
and I'd like to stalk
you all of the time.
I'm glad you are mine,
but more glad I'm yours,
and that is because
your love grows me true 
whatever I do.
So help me just now 
to not "take a bow" 
but put on my shoes..
to walk til I lose
them on holy ground
as I walk around
right here on your Earth
both sad and with mirth,
allowing your joy
to come through your boy.

Amen.

Txt2P: Are you all good?

Not yet "all good",
but one day soon,
I think I should
un-cocoon

and love as he,
when insulted
(though couldn't see
still revolted

against just this
world visible),
looked up from his
perched crucible

towards where he
could not see still,
entrusting the
judgement until

the one who knew
would do what's right.
No come-back to
those who from spite

had taunted and
made fun and blamed
one who could stand
there unashamed.

Oh God, teach me
to love like he
who couldn't see
you, yet copied.

show me up...

Oh God please bring it on some more, & more -

the death of Paul, no pretty comfort here.

A crucifixion of this self-willed boar,

& though he squirm & wriggle hold his ear.

So stick this pig, & let him squeal and bleed,

but even more, please see that your quite new

creation grows from top to toes, God’s speed

I must now trust for you know what to do,

and how to work your new life from my core,

so that it’s not just surface, but deep down.

I want that to grow in me more & more

- a life of praise and thanks, which cannot drown.

And if it does, it's not that much concerned,

for it looks forward to a deeper life,

a stronger life, because it here has learned

it's lessons from the womb to world. They're rife

with metaphore and signposting symbol:

the body we all had “in womb” was weak,

and though it moved, it hardly was nimble.

it recognized not much, and could not speak,

received it’s food and liquid not through mouth,

and filtered blood and toxins the same way,

its “Oh two” through umbilical-cord “South”

and blood from heart did not fill lungs that day…

..until… the coming out, and showing off, 

and sputtering of baby boy or girl.

Oh God, I'll gladly give up life that’s soft,

please bring on my "new being" - your new world!

god's pow'r right now .. love from above.

How great is God, our God!! There's nothing that..
..no-thing that his pow'r cannot make happen.
For He has understanding "off the bat"
of everything he made, not to trap 'n

consume as though he needed us; He loves!
He doesn't need a thing of all we've got.
But longs to see us grow up as his doves,
with wisdom wiser than the snakey lot.

So Jesus says to us to "Come to me",
well, "all of you who - weary with great load",
would do stuff that is humbly opening
your self right up to him, else you'll explode,

and then he promised something I could not,
he said to them " & I will give you rest." 
Who places hope and confidence (the lot),
in God, our Lord, will find that they are blessed.

For they are like some trees planted along
a riverbank, with roots that reach down deep
into the water. They grow tall and strong.
Such trees as these aren't bothered by the heat.

And they aren't worried by long months of drought.
Their leaves stay green, they never stop their fruit.
For water secretly comes in and out
along those little pipelets through each root.

So they receive this living flowing stuff,
give thanks in every situation which
they're planted, to bring shade and help enough,
to show Gods will (like Jesus) unto each.

..........

How great is our God!! There's nothing His power cannot accomplish and He has understanding of everything. Psalm 147:5 (PM Version)

Jesus is saying "Come to me, all of you who weary and are carry heavy loads, and I will give you rest." Mathew 11:28 (PM Version)

Blessed are those who trust in The Lord and have made The Lord their hope and confidence. They are like trees planted along a riverbank, with roots that reach deep into the water. Such trees are not bothered by the heat or worried by long months of drought. Their leaves stay green, and they never stop producing fruit. Jeremiah 17:7,8 (PM Version)

so when a seed's life ends & it's buried....

The one who made the eucalyptus tree
did also make the seed from which it grew
The first one is not hard for us to see,
the second is more difficult to do.

For on each seed-capsule a tiny mark

shows where the capsule opens when it dries,

and as it dries up seeds fall and embark

on journeys to the earth, reaching to skies.

But strangely if you followed up each seed
it changes quite completely body-wise,
at first it is a speck that blows, no need
for water, soil or sunlight in the skies.

If that was all you knew of eucalypts
you'd think they were small, subtle things you found
amongst the soil and debree of humous
that's blown, and washed, and moved along the ground.

But strangely when that speck of seed loses
its options to move all around the place
and then gets buried where another chooses
a deeper magic grows another face

that seeks the sun with ev'ry leaf it grows
and books of leaves tell stories, grow plant food
and capture sunlight to make wood that shows
the seasons past, and shelters - for a brood

of other life, both animals and plants.
The humans' cooking fires, or  building needs,
koalas, aphids, birds and bees and ants,
are beneficiaries of buried seeds.

fix.. sticks..

We fix our eyes  not on what we can see
but on what is for us right now, unseen.
For what is seen now is temp-or-ar-y;
eternal things - those that have always been,

like Grace, and Truth, and Friendship you will find
are yet for us what's  counted  now "unseen".
Yet solid Love is patient, Love is kind,
it does not envy, boast, be proud or mean,

it dain't dishonour others, is not blind,
it is not self-seeking, eas'ly angered,
it joys in truth, in evil dain't delight,
& though it feels wrongs done, keeps no record.
  
And always it protects, & trusts, & hopes,
& perseveres - it keeps on & endures,
Love never fails. It never sits and mopes.
In it's concern for others, it's secure.

..........

So we fix our eyes  not on what we can see but what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. 2 Corinthians 4:18 (PM Version) 

Love is patient,
Love is kind,
It does not envy,
It does not boast,
It is not proud.
It does not dishonour others,
It is not self-seeking,
It is not easily angered,
It keeps no record of wrongs. 
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 
Love never fails.
1 Corinthians 4-7 (PM Version)

will love..?..!

God's will is that I thrive within his world
He isn't try 'na squash me down at all!
He isn't gunna feel his flag's unfurled
if his child's grov'ling, and canNOT stand tall.

God's will is that I thrive in life with him.
In fact his peace, his shalom, MEANS "to thrive".
Yeshua said he came not for his whim,
but came to serve, and make us more alive.

He came to us, he said, "in order that.."
..what was it that he came to give away?
And something would spring up, that can't be capped
if we were those who came to him - (each day?)

What was it that he had, he could give out?
And then one time he said he would produce...
Will I be grateful for what he's about?
And like those lepers healed, what would I choose?

A paradox of love is here "for us"..
yet if I ask "Well, what's in it for me?"
I show I understand NOT it's premise...
- that's not to say that I will never see.

It is a sacred game, to see how much
can serupticiously be given to
another person, not to make them blush,
but know deep down, that Love exist's that's True.

Love is a stream that flows up from the ground
of being, from excess, with secret source...

Love is a seed that grows up from the ground
of being, with a life from secret source...

Love is a seed that grows from holy room
in burial ground, a resurrection force.

Love is a stream that flows from holy room
in temple of our God, with secret source.

It's will is no de-si-re to consume,
it listens and it keeps it's word of course.

..but those who drink the water that I will give them will never be thirsty again. The water that I will give them will become in them a spring which will provide them with life-giving water and give them eternal life.” John 4:14 GNTD https://bible.com/bible/69/jhn.4.14.GNTD

“Whoever is thirsty should come to me, and whoever believes in me should drink. As the scripture says, ‘Streams of life-giving water will pour out from his side.’”  Jesus said this about the Spirit, which those who believed in him were going to receive.

Well here I am Lord... draft 1

Well here I am Lord,
still, under your spell.
That gives me courage
to lift my head well.

Not to be driven,
or shrunk to a “fate”.
But though I’ve striven
I’m too small, too late,..

..or too early, my
timing’s not that great!
If life’s just what I
can appreciate..

..I’ve not learned lessons
from before first grade.
I now remember
how life then displayed:

Much I didn’t know,
much I didn’t get,
but “too small, too slow”
just “aid & abet”..

..my desire to grow
(and to not forget),
my trust in who showed
wise love’s committment.

Dissonance was then
a state  I lived in,
not   I ran from,  when
I knew that I grew.

And as I saw more
‘stead of reducing,
expanding unknowns
flowed in my sluicing.

Not smugness but awe
was growing in me.
So now, like before,
your small child I’ll be.

whose muse imbues

From Simon Peter, servant of God's Christ,

          and Jesus’ Ambassador he sent! -

To those who through a very precious tryst

          have tasted Faithfull Goodness as they spent

their time with God, and Saviour - Jesus Christ,

have learned to mirror back, & pass it on.

They find the grace and peace that comes suffice

to handle life as his friends here, an’ on.

They’ve come to live right here, with him as boss,

as King, & God, and Lord of all the earth.

They find his pow’r-divine 's not at a loss

but is enough to recreate, through birth,

to grow a godly life within this mess

because (of course) he hasn't gone away,

he’s stuck around (with some mysterious-ness)

and let's them grow to know him more each day!

And more than that, it’s he who keeps wooing

and calls them back to tryst with him often.

The glory and the goodness that’s ensuing

is some proof that his promises go on,

and that he keeps his word in private “meets”,

he's not ashamed to claim “fam'ly liking”

(that we're his siblings/children) in the streets,

and help us to stand up, in ways striking-

-ly like the way he stood himself against

corruption in this world, caused by our lust

for living “as we want to” - quite unfenced!

Oh God, you are so faithful that you trust!

Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who through the righteousness of our God and Saviour Jesus Christ have received a faith as precious as ours:  Grace and peace be yours in abundance through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.  His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.    2 Peter 1:1‭-‬4 NIVUK  http://bible.com/113/2pe.1.1-4.NIVUK

through life with her True Father in Heaven
learning from Enoch, now she rarely baulks,
but steps to follow God's will once again.

The Joy of God is passed on to his child,
it's like we are connected mystic'ly,
much deeper than happy or sad - it's wild,
with roots that run outside this earth & sea.

It breathes a wind that is not made of air,
and has a peace that's not just "striving ceased",
and yet it flourishes and strengthens where
our strength is gone, and so we are released;

from thinking all this world here is "the lot",
and too from thinking that it ain't a thing;
we've come to see it as a womb, and not
our place to walk as "independant-ling".

So we give thanks to God who is The Good,
the only True, Real Source, and Faithful Love,
that he endures forever's understood,
& spurrs me to wear my "endurance" gloves.

And thank you Lord that you have shown to me
the path of life, it's in your presence that
I find real joy. At your right hand there be
forever pleasures, which can't just "go flat".

And so on this day, 22 years on,
from when that girl-baby came out on Earth,
we're glad that you our Belle-y now take song
& bless us with much more than just your mirth!

Generous with all...

The Lord himself, he does, he satisfies
the soul that hungers and thirsts for goodness.
So follow his lead, he does not despise
those who need help with basics, like address,

or food, or clothes, or friends, or help to see
that they are not alone, unloved, down here.
So don't forget your hospitality
(not everything is as it does appear!).

And some who took in hobos have not known
them as God's servants - for they were hidden
until that final day when all is shown,
they've  entertained God's angels, unbidden.

So keep on praying, live in God's presence,
and watch out, so to keep a heart that thanks,
for all the gifts that come as just  presents,
and storerooms of God's goods, which act as banks.

The Lord satisfies the thirsty, and fills the hungry soul with good things. Psalm 107:9 (PM Version)

Oh God, please give your wisdom to us now.

us and your love, please help them know that real.

And give them grace to face the things that seem

to be a failure, or a bit surreal.

Jesus stood* and spoke...

The Spirit of The Lord is upon me. Because He has anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor, He has sent me to heal the broken hearted and bring deliverance to the captives and new sight to the blind, to set free those who are oppressed. 
TO PROCLAIM THE YEAR OF THE LORDS FAVOR. Luke 4:18,19 (PM Version)

The Spirit of The Lord
is upon me. Because
He has anointed me
as herald to take the

message of our king's reign:
just, loving, to sustain
the spirits of the poor
(who get bad news, then more)

He has sent me to heal
the broken hearted, real,
and bring deliv-er-ance 
to any captive man's

and child or woman's lives,
and new sight to the blind,
to set free those who are
oppressed, and live in fear.

To proclaim time and place?,

that comes after such nights
(with greedy, selfishness fights),

the Day of THE LORD'S fA-

And here, the "Son of A"

connected us all through language and "good" 
(he saw goodness, and too, then who was "framed"

as source of good, the author of the lot)
authority he holds by  reason then
of lines of authorship quite deep, and not
an afterthought or slip to allow men

to claim "divine right" for their rulers' reign.
If we declare His deeds among people,
he is the one who feeds, and shows again
his love and grace and truth that can keep all

the aberrations there within their place.
The Mighty One, the Lord is who will be
then shown to be the Truth, wearing a face,
& his good gifts to all of us we'll see

& think they are our "right", or be disgraced
by all our "rightful" thinking up til then.
God save us from our pompousness of face.
I think you chose the best man among men!

So I am not ashamed of God's Good News
about his christened "Leader of Humans".
For God's own pow'r is saving all who choose
with God, for such a leader as he plans.

Be still, don't act, or even do a thing,
and let yourself know true, that God's the Boss,
and let him take you underneath his wing.
If you have him, then you can not be lost!

..............

Give thanks to The Lord, Praise His name!! Declare His deeds among the people. Let them know how mighty He is!! Isaiah 12:4 (PM Version)

I am not ashamed of this Good News about Christ. It is the power of God at work, saving everyone who believes. Romans 1:16 (PM Version)

BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD!! Psalm 46:10 (PM Version)

upshot...

I am not anxious about anything, but in every situation, I pray and give thanks to God for all he has done.
And when pray I experience God's peace, which exceeds anything I can understand. His peace guards my heart and mind as I live for Jesus!!  Philippians 4:6-7 (PM Version)


For when I “pray” and give thanks to the God 
who made this world (all humans are his kids)
I notice all the goodness (where he’s trod),
it’s his acts make me open up my lids

each morning, to get up and look around
& try to join in with good things he’s done
while I'm out to it through the night, he's found
a host of good things he could do for fun.

The first thing I can do is look and see
with eyes that can do that - to use them well,
the next I want to “do”, is just to “be”
in that same place of purpose, & to “tell”,

to speak with speech & body language (more!),
what I have seen, to amplify it on,
like give it airplay in our minds before
we start to magnify the stuff that’s wrong.

But also to bear witness (like in court)
where people are deciding what is real,
to speak of what I've seen, as well as naught,
to help us humans understand and feel

this life as it is in reality.
So when I live in God’s presence each day
I find that I experience a peace
that’s hard to put in words. That’s how I  “pray”,

and somehow God’s new wonders never cease,
his peace guards heart & mind for me as well.
To be joined to God’s Christ is sweet release,
from all my own rubbish and from God’s hell*.


* In the scriptures that record the words of God's Christ-ened "Leader of Humanity", the Greek word behind the English translation "hell" is "gehenna", the Jewish name for the Valley of Hinom which was used as the rubbish dump for the capital city - Jerusalem. This seems to have become a metaphore for a dump for all of God's Creation (in heaven & earth) throughout  all time.

drug us..

"bouycot hell*", to a  "t" ... shirt 

(see the pic below, - if we're allowed)

Yee harr! And thanks to God, that he drug us

out of the rubbish heap*, dusted us off,
gave us the kiss of life & then hugged us,
the kiss of welcome, healing, that shows love.

Then breathed his breath of life, energy in,
and wakened up that part of me like him;
communicated his way of seein’
his life & love, and purpose - more than whim.

And wow, he's freeing us from our own will
(as though it was the final word on life,
the central purpose to gain here until
we are the centrepiece, our will is rife).

My old conception may not be so right -
that I'm the centrepiece of this whole world,
where everyone-else now must just sit tight
& do exactly what they have been told.

Or else, at least to back me all the time
& see life as I see it natively
(for it’s hard work to change world-views and mine
is more demanding than I’d like it be).

This addict here just wants to get his will,
to be the god who doesn't suffer fools,
'coz then all life would simplify until
“that I don't suffer” ’s Number One of Rules!

How diff’rent to the God who suffers here,
who’s heart was filled with pain as he looked close,
came down and got involved by camping near.
Make me like you my God, (& less verbose).

* In the Bible when it uses the Greek word pronounced something like "Gehenna", it is mostly translated into English as "hell", or "Hell". Gehenna was the Greekish way of speaking the Hebrew term for the Valley of Hinom - which actually functioned as the dump for the city of Jerusalem. It would have had "rotting dead" transport there ((not rusting car bodies, but camel, donkey & horse bodies), maggots, crows, dogs fighting and snarling around their trophies, smelly, & unclean in more senses than most of us would understand. What ever was thrown there was refuse, rubbish, not fit for other uses than being part of an overall ecco-system, tragic only if there was no higher potential purpose on offer.

Done good?

Bro I'm blessed, as are you.
Here's our test: What to do?
Let us rest, and adieu
our own nest, for this few
years at best. God, it's you
who brings zest, & life to
who's your guest, be'ng made true.

Ruled by God = blessed.

...I have been praying about should I continue to send out the daily bible texts and this scripture came to (mind?) "So encourage each other and build each other up" 1 Thessalonians 5:11. This is the reason I send these bible verses is to hopefully encourage you. So be blessed because you are blessed!! ... PM 

Amen...

How blessed are we, and also you folk too...
all spirit-u-al blessings in heaven.
Oh may we learn to use not just a few,
and be here on this Earth as your leaven

[- kind of in-vis-i-ble infection here
that can be passed, by contact, and be caught
by other bits of dough that get quite near.
It's not too hard a method, but it's fraught

with diff-i-cult-ies, as those teachers found
(who did not work to learn so much as teach)
when Jesus and his mates were still around
in bodies that could be touched, and could reach

out to their God as his little children,
& to their neighbours, just to give a hand,
and let their God, and these others, help them
as blessings, and to bless, - they are not bland!].

Moses' Great Commission*

 * Deuteronomy (ch 6)

Hear this commission— statutes and the laws
— the Lord your God charged me to teach you to
remember & act out, observe, because
then in the land that you will cross into

to occupy; well you, and your children,
and children’s children, may then fear the Lord
your God, the days of your life there, so when
you keep all his decrees you won’t be bored,

your days with praise will be prolonged. Therefore,
O Isra’el, hear and observe them well
so that it may go well with you, and more,
that you may multiply and live to tell

& show your land aflow with honey-ed milk.
Hear well, O Isra’el: Yahweh is ONE
The LORD alone is God, all other ill-
conceived of gods have not even begun.

And you shall love the Lord your God with all
your heart, and all your soul, and all your might.
Keep these words in your heart, & then stand tall.
Recite them to your children, talk at night

about them when you are at home and when
you are away, when you lie down and rise.
Enmesh them in each action and emblem,
each thought, and motive; they will make you wise.

And write them on the doorposts of your house
and on your gates, when you go in and out,
they’ll save you from becoming such a louse,
that you suck blood then have “the hide” to pout.



For when the Lord your God has brought you to
the land that he swore to your ancestors,
to Abraham, & Isaac, Jacob, who
looked for & forward to (this land of yours)

—a land with fine, large cities, houses, streets,
you did not build, though filled with all sorts of
good things you did not bring or make, like seats,
& tanks; & vineyards & groves of olive-

trees you did not plant— and when you’ve eaten
your fill, take care that you do not forget
the Lord, who brought you out (no more beaten)
out of the land of Egypt, slaves & yet

unless you fear & serve God, the right way,
and make your oathes by his name - serious(!)
you’ll never learn to love him and obey
you’ll follow fashion gods, who’re spurious!

Because the Lord your God is present with
you, as a jealous lover, he’ll destroy
(in anger) you from off the face of Earth.
So do not treat the Lord God as your boy,

or test him, as “his teacher”, have some sense.
So diligently you must keep his word,
all his commands, decrees, and statutes whence
you’ll live as though he’s God, and not absurd-

ly like you are his God. Do what is right
and good in sight of God, who made all folk,
& then it will go well with you. His might
will thrust out all your enemies each bloke.



And when your children ask in time to come,
‘What is the meaning of all these decrees
the Lord our God commanded?’ Don’t be dumb,
but say “With mighty hand, Yahweh, with ease,

did bring us out of Egypt, where as slaves
we served the Pharaoh there. The Lord displayed
before our eyes great, awesome signs, in waves,
against Egypt, and Pharaoh, till they bade

us leave. God brought us out to bring us in,
to give this land to us, as he promised
on oath to ancestors of us, he wins
the right to ask us fight with him, & trust.

To fight against all selfish ways, for good,
& he will act to keep us all alive
till death parts us from this world, as it should.
In world renewed we will all “right” arrive.
