For Love All for the LOVE of GOD, was Jesus HIS beloved Son Sent to live
amongst the paupers. Jn.3,16
All for the LOVE for GOD did Jesus allow the cup to stop at Himself
rather than so often happens with others who PASS. Matt 26,39
All for LOVE did Jesus set the tone that day in the temple when He
drove the tort traders from His ABBA's precinct, Mk. 11,15-18
All for LOVE did many a CHRISTIAN follower of Jesus, lose stuff,
freedom, family and friends and yes often even their lives,
All for love, the message got taken abroad, often in secret for many
are the enemies, the double minded.
The most difficult enemies to love are those of ones own house, family
but we are asked to love even them who abuse and misuse our trust.
BUT GOD didn't love them who had no love for HIM, hence why there
is an election- Something in which we have no vote, except GOD
who alone casts the proxy of who gets in and who gets voted out.
And GOD still doesn't love those who HIM or HIS own don't adore.
GOD designated a JUDGEMENT DAY , not just for the worldly, but also
for all those who have shown no return for HIS trust, Matt.25,14-30
or for HIS love, Matt 18,15-35
But jesus warned us, that many shall come that day claiming all they had
done for GOD's good and HIS anointed name. Matt 7,21-23
Question however is, for whom then did those claimants love and garner
the glory? Matt 6,2 John 5,44 and Matt23,5-7
Jesus said, every tree that doesn't produce any fruit-proof unto GOD
shall be cut down and cast into the fire, Matt 7,19
And every tree that did produce sign of life would be pruned, cultivated
to maximize the return, John 15,2
My DAD has an apple tree at the back of his home, right up against the
porch from which one once could pick the harvest.
And five years ago when the house was moved there and renovated,
it bore a bumper crop and the next year also, but the last three years
there has nary been a handful gathered in per harvest, as dad had
pruned it to have it's former size in order to get a better over view of
the garden further back.
Well my dear dad isn't a good pruner like my heavenly ABBA, for dear
old dad didn't understand that when one cuts back so much coverage
one must also cut back the roots, for the tree will make every effort
to restore itself to it's once glory.
When one prunes one must do so in little bits, all year long and not
all in one fell swoop.
Our churches are failing, or would some of you disagree with
that assessment that anyone with eyes can see?
The attendance is steadily declining, and in parts of Europe the
faith has almost closed up shop for there is no one interested what
those shop keepers have to sell any more.
Why?
Well the answer is as simple as LOVE.
The folks in charge love to prune like dear dad, and most of them also
haven't a clue what, where and when.
Often times they prune away the branch that shows the most sign,
and leaving those which don't the pulpits occupants view.
In lay persons terms, the YES MEN are left while anyone who disagrees
with the WRIT of the ROTE trained are edged and edged away.
see Matt 21,28-30
LOOK nobody likes to look stupid or foolish, much less those with their
oration robes.
Take heart, for GOD elects even fools as tools like myself.
GOD isn't limited to the rich, the educated, or those with charismatic
tongue-a-plum Exod.4,10-16
YES GOD even picked a firecracker like SAUl to furrther the mission, when
Petra started to gather moss.
Today many say, THAT THEY BELIEVE IN GOD.
I say so what.
People, even devils believe and shake in their booties, whereas we have
grown grossly obese in our slack, with surfeiting and those promises
our endorsed and esteemed hired guns for us up dream.
Are those demons going to be spared @ the end if they don't make
amends?
Who will recieve the award to be seated with GOD? Will it be those with
works but little faith, or those with faith and a lack of sign, of those whose
collar match their cuffs, whose talk is equal to their walk?
GOD loved you enough to have introduced you to HIS fall guy, named
Jesus, who was set in your JUDGEMENT PLACE as your defense.
How I wonder are you repaying that love, yesterday or today?
All who love little will defend little, see how Jesus was treated by a
fellow named Simon who professed so much love for GOD. Luke 7,36-50
That Simon loved his own broken down house rules more.
How about you, are you like so many of them Simons, all yap and no
ACT?
BETTER GOD HAD CHOSEN A DOG THAN SO MANY WHO WON"T DEFEND
HIS HONOR.
