My Mustard Seed

 

Life had to go at me

And cut my great faith down

To the size of a mustard seed

But there’s something about that little seed

It is very strong

And will grow into a giant tree

As the years roll on

"Where birds build nests and

Find shelter in its boughs."

Oh, tiny mustard seed

Keep growing because as your growth goes

The hope of others grows

As they make themselves

Comfortable within your boughs.

Hey America and all, don't you see

The LORD grows your faith by

The things that happened to me

Because you get to see

The boughs that have grown

On my mustard seed tree.

So, don't be amazed when

You get knocked down

Just get back up again

Because your struggle may

Grab the attention of some soul

Who has lost his way

Yep, you just never know who may

Need to nestle in your tree one day.©

The Greatest Story Ever Told

The title has reference to an epic film that was produced by George Stevens in 1965. And yes, as you might think, it is based on the life of JESUS CHRIST, our SAVIOR.

For our purposes today, I will be going back to the Biblical account and I'll probably put a slant on things in a way that most of you have never thought about, but then again, maybe you have. At any rate, here's the gist. Did you know that you were a part of the greatest story ever told? Well, yes, you are, if you are a Christian, that is. Did you ever think about that?

Here it is in a nutshell:

• Christ was born as GOD's SON.


• HE selected people (disciples) to be workers in the carrying out of the plan for building up the church that would be established as a new covenant. (testament)


• HE died on the cross.


• HE got up from the grave with all power in HIS hand.


• HE went back to glory but left his disciples with the promise that HE would be back to get HIS people. (the disciples and all people who believed in HIM through their words, which means you and me [again, as stated before, if you are a Christian])

 

We begin our blog today when JESUS is already on the cross. We talked yesterday about how HE was beaten and mistreated, and we find that though HE is on the cross, HE still has that great love for man. How do I know this? Easy, look at verse 34 below.

³² And there were also two other, malefactors, led with him to be put to death.

³³ And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left.

³⁴ Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots. (bold print not present in the original - just done for emphasis)

Even as they were putting HIM to death,  CHRIST was praying for mankind, asking HIS FATHER to forgive mankind. You know that is some kind of love!

And when we read verse 35 of Luke chapter 23 we see that even the rulers were sneering at Jesus saying that though HE saved that HE must not have been so powerful because HE could not even save HIMSELF.

³⁵ And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also with them derided him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if he be Christ, the chosen of God.

And you know that people will do whatever they see the leaders do, so because the leaders mocked HIM so did the soldiers.

³⁶ And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering him vinegar,

³⁷ And saying, If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself.

³⁸ And a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, This Is The King Of The Jews. (Done in jest, but one day every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess. Philippians 2:10-11 and Psalm 46)

Jesus was even being discussed by the criminals who were being put to death along with him.

³⁹ And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us.

⁴⁰ But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?

⁴¹ And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss.

Now, what came to your mind when you looked at verses 40 & 41 above? When I read those verses it made me think that God always has someone to speak up for us. One criminal said to the other one that the sentence they received was just because of the things that they had done. Then he fussed at the other one and said that JESUS had done nothing wrong!

⁴² And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.

⁴³ And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise.

 

Those words that JESUS said to the condemned man are remembered, even now.  We learned those words as little children, and we still know them today. Yes, Verse 43 above is full of promise, and such a promise it was! You know how you would feel if Jesus, in the flesh, said those words to you.  You know how grand it would make you feel! Well, HE, through the words of HIS disciples, did say those words to you. JESUS prayed for everyone who believed in HIM through HIS disciples' words, and the words that we read in the Bible are the disciples' words. And yes, we are going to be in that number that HE calls up to the clouds to carry back to Heaven with HIM! Remember how you felt when you took your first airplane ride or rode an escalator at the mall for the first time? Well, that does not even compare to a ride on the clouds with JESUS! Wow, that is mind-boggling, isn’t it? Mmm, hmm!

Summation

JESUS came, died, and went back to glory and HE is coming back again to gather us, HIS own. Hallelujah, what a SAVIOR! And then the greatest story ever told will be complete.

Be safe.

That's Life

I wanted to take a thought from Luke the 23:12. And it reads:

On the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together: for before they were at enmity between themselves.

In this verse, you have two people who were enemies (didn’t get along well at all, decide to work together. And you know why they came together as friends. They came together concerning Jesus. (concerning the way they thought about JESUS)

Often you see people two people that do not like each other come together to take down another somebody that they both don’t like, and usually, it’s the little Christian. Should we be surprised when we are set upon in the manner described above? No, we shouldn’t be because it already happened to Christ, and as Christians, we know that we are to expect some of the same.

Maintain

What we have to do is maintain the faith and know that it’s going to happen before it does and keep stepping, knowing that one day, when our FATHER says it’s time, HE will move all of those things out of the way. And then we will be at peace with our enemies and enjoy a season of tranquility.
The fact that God will work things out makes me so thankful for HIS LOVE.

Be safe.

The Longest Night

What is the longest night that you have ever experienced?

When I read Luke 22:64-66, I see where "they blindfolded HIM and asked him to 'prophesy who is the one who hit you?'"

That was a part of JESUS's long night. And then I think, "But HE didn’t do anything! (except be full of love for you and me) How many times have you said in your life, "But I didn’t do anything; why am I the one getting into trouble?" And since HE'd done nothing except love you and me, I say and will continue to say, "I might not ever get to Big Sur or Mount Everest, but from the tallest mountain in my world, metaphorically, I will shout HIS love for us and mine for HIM.

I tell anybody who will listen, that GOD loved/loves us, and HE didn’t just talk love. HE put some action behind it! HE showed us HIS love by giving HIS SON to die on the cross for our sins! That’s the kind of action love that HE had/has for us, and it would behoove us to show our love in reciprocal to HIM. (loving HIM back) Now, I realize that HIS GIFT is one that we can never repay, but we can always try. Take a look at the poem below:

 

Reciprocal Love to My FATHER

Give reciprocal love to My FATHER,

That’s my aim, anyway

Yep, that’s my goal

As I live out the rest of my life

Here on this earth and that’s why

I write to you and I put things in it

That speak from my soul

To let you know how I feel

Because GOD giving HIS SON's

Life for me, is a very big deal

In fact, it is a life-altering thing

That will cause me, my whole life long

My best to My CREATOR, to try to bring.©

(Thought garnered from Luke 22:64-66, NASB)

********

 

And you know that was GOD's SON that they were doing like that, the CREATOR's SON but then I read in the Bible in Romans 14:11 and Isaiah 45:23 where it says "Every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess" And the book of Luke says that the world will see the SON of MAN coming with power and glory with angels of God. HE had been treated like a little nobody, like a peon, but when HE comes back, everybody’s going to want to know HIM. (be claimed by HIM)  he is coming back and so we want to live our lives here so that we can be ready for a glorious day that’s going to be when HE does come back for you and me.

 

Ever been slapped? How long did the sting from that slap last? What about being slapped on one side and before you get the chance to get over that first blow, you get slapped on the other side? Uhm, hmm, I can hear some of you thinking, "Awe, it’s on now! Slap me in my face; you must be crazy or have a hankering to get a beatdown!" And then you would be ready to take the earrings out,  to roll up your sleeves... But JESUS did not DO anything like that; HE took all of that for you and for me.

I want you to think about this; we talked about how long the pain from a slap lasts. Yes, the slap is painful, but it does not stop just because you are not being slapped anymore. Oh no, that sting from that slap lasts hours and sometimes days physically, and years emotionally.

Can you imagine it happening repeatedly, over and over again?  How long does it take to slap somebody anyway, about a second or so?

Well, can you imagine getting sixty slaps in one minute? I’m not saying that’s what happened to the Lord but I do know that they put a blindfold over HIS eyes and then asked HIM to prophesy about who hit HIM. (Luke 22:64, NRSB)  Can you imagine what Jesus felt? That is really something to really think about, isn't it?  And this is GOD's SON that this is being done to! GOD's SON!

• 60 seconds = one minute


• 60 minutes = one hour


• So now if there are 60 minutes in one hour and 60 seconds in one minute...  But we don’t know how many times they slapped CHRIST. However, we do know "they were beating HIM and blaspheming" (Luke 22:64-65, NASB)  "And then it was day," (Luke 22:66, NASB) implies that JESUS had a long night, hence, my title of the blog for today. What a long night for our SAVIOR and HE did it all for you and for me!

You and I both know what we would do if anybody dared to put a hand on our brand new little baby that we just brought home from the hospital. We won't even go into what would happen next, the end result of which would be that somebody would be buying funeral flowers, probably if we didn't snap back to ourselves, because we would in all probability, lose it.

And yet, though GOD could have sent legions of angels to HIS SON's aid, GOD did nothing, nothing... Why, because of HIS love for you and me. UMPH, umph, umph, that's why I serve HIM and talk about HIS love for us over and over again. It is a story that never gets old, never, for it is yet rolling forward, toward the end of time. And when we get there, to the end of time, I mean, CHRIST's suffering will meet us and save us if we have given our lives to HIM... What a love!

The least we can do is let this world see that we appreciate the love HE has for us by showing our commitment to HIM as we walk in this world daily.

I am committed. Be safe.

The Brightest Day

[caption id="attachment_4467" align="aligncenter" width="300"] The Brightest Day Will Be...[/caption]

This simple thought with a poem was placed upon my mind as I strolled through the garden of Luke looking for delectable things to serve up to you today. I hope you enjoy the word repast.

Have you ever thought about the various days that you have had here on this earth? Sure you have. But I wanted us to really think about the good, sweet, great days that we have had. That brings a smile to your face, I'm sure, for those memories of the brightest days do that, don't they? Uhm, hmm, well, have you ever really thought about what it is going to be like to greet beloved family members that went on before you and meet generations of family that you have never seen before? Now, I don't actually know what it is going to be like to wrap my arms around my Momma again, rekindle my relationship with my Grandaddy, meet my great grandmother, etc. But I can have a mighty fine time imagining what it will be like and I imagine you can, too.

One of these mornings when I awake

Will be the last morning that I will look upon the sky

For the day for my gathering will have come

And I’ll meet with my LORD

To be taken to my home above

For a chorus of hellos and never again a goodbye.

One of these mornings, for sure

 And it won’t be as long as it has been

I will leave this world of sin

When I rise to die no more

To be like an angel on that other shore,

And live in that Land

With my GOD, forevermore.©

Well, Well, Well

Another thing that's gone wrong

Drat, it seems to happen with

Such repetition that it could

Make a body sing a sad song.

 

But you have to remember that

When things go wrong in life

As they oftentimes do

Not to fret yourself over much

And tell yourself with faith that

God has a plan

That supersedes the thoughts of man

And then keep working for The MASTER

As best as you can

As you go on about this business of living

Just as in the days of Noah and

In the days of Lot

People were going on about

Their lives without giving much thought

To the business of leaving

Instead, in the longevity of life believing.

 

But one thing for sure

All of us will leave here one day

Either before HIM or with HIM

We don’t know which way.

So it behooves us to stay in a prepared state

Because when HE does come back

Or when it’s our time to go

We don’t want it to be said that as far

As preparation, we waited too late.

So, a word to wise folk

Such as you and me

Let's endeavor to stay in a state

Of readiness against the time

That the living of life ends

And we are called forward to

Hear words read from the

Book of Remembrance that

Seals our fate.©

I serve my FATHER in the sunshine

Mountains that block my way

Whatever makes up my day.©

Note: Yes, I am quite recovered from the spider incident from the other day, and am no worse for the wear. Thank you for asking.

A Spider Came Calling

Spiders are stupid or very bold

I don’t know which one

The truth be told.

At any rate, yesterday evening as

I was doing my dishes

A spider dropped in to say, "Hi;"

He didn’t send a postcard

Or a text to let me know he was on his way

He just dropped into my kitchen

In front of my face

To ruin my day.

And he didn’t have time to

Convey his well wishes

Because, with a loud gasp, I started screaming

And I tried to be brave and catch that rascal

in a cup

But he was having none of that

So I dropped that cup and

Kept screaming for my husband

While flapping my gloved hands,

And folks, let me tell you that I

Was screaming to beat the band, and

Some kind of way my gloves went sailing

Over behind the deep freezer

And I cleared that kitchen

As fast as a person who

Suffers from arachnophobia can!

I don’t remember crossing the living room

Nor going down the hall

For that part of my journey

I just don't recall.

When I came to myself, I

Was stripping clothes off left and right

Because that spider had gotten out of my sight

And I knew one thing, he was gonna

Be dead meat if I found him on me!

I remember flapping my hands and shrieking

As only a person who is afraid of spiders can

(And Y'all know I have a special daughter

Well, thank GOD, she slept through

The whole melee!)

But I wasn't studying her and nobody else

I was gonna get that spider off of me!

(sigh) After I showered, I was done with

My screaming and the spider induced tears

Too bad that water could not wash away

Arachnophobic fears.

I can laugh about it now

But let me tell you one thing,

I don’t like spiders

And spiders don’t like me

And that thing was not welcome

To drop down in front of my eye

As I washed my dishes,

As if he came to say, "Hi."

He really was quite bold

Or gone nuts with web riding glee

The nerve, dropping down to eye level

I wonder what he thought

That my reaction would be?

Didn’t he know that I would scream

And want to beat him

Until a grease spot was the only

Remains of him I could see

Because I don’t like spiders

And I don’t think spiders like me

And I wish they all would get this bulletin

To leave this woman be!

Later, My husband asked me if I

Wanted him to finish the dishes

Do you know what I wanted to cry?

I wanted to yell that I didn’t

Care what he did with those dishes

He could pitch them all out the door

As far as I was concerned!

(sigh) Yes, the dishes got washed

And I am now as calm as a

Shocked and hysterical woman can be

So, I thought I would tell you

About my harrowing tale

And give you a moment or two of hilarity

And help my self, as well

Because writing lessens my cares

Without fail.

If my tale made you laugh, then

That is a good thing to hear and see

Because I have helped you to build

Some always welcome and needed endorphins
(Tee hee)

I don’t like spiders, and spiders don’t like me

And I wish this would go out on spider radar

So that all spiders would let me be!

Well!...©

Laugh if you want to. I did this morning. But it was more of a nervous laugh of relief.

Be safe.

Note: (This spider thing with me goes back to the age of ten. I don't think that I ever saw a spider except for a grandaddy long-legged before then. Then we moved into a house that had a peachtree growing very close to the house with branches that grew over a portion of the roof and a window that stayed up all of the time in the summer and a good portion of the fall. Anyway, that is a portion of a tale for perhaps another day.)

 

 

 

Many Birds

You know that GOD loves you, don't you? Of course, you do if you are a Christian. But, do you sometimes forget in the daily grind to get ahead, that HE still does? Take a look at what came to mind on my morning meditational stroll through the garden path of Luke with the HOLY SPIRIT as my GUIDE.

You Are Dearly Valued

Luke 12:7

⁷ Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear; you are more valuable than many sparrows. (NASB)

Matthew:10:29-31

²⁹ When birds are sold, two small birds cost only a penny. But not even one of those little birds can die without your Father knowing it.

³⁰ God even knows how many hairs are on your head.

³¹ So don’t be afraid. You are worth more than a whole flock of birds.ERV)

Luke 12:24-34

²⁴ Look at the birds. They don’t plant, harvest, or save food in houses or barns, but God feeds them. And you are worth much more than crows. ²⁵ None of you can add any time to your life by worrying about it. ²⁶ And if you can’t do the little things, why worry about the big things?

²⁷ “Think about how the wildflowers grow. They don’t work or make clothes for themselves. But I tell you that even Solomon, the great and rich king, was not dressed as beautifully as one of these flowers. ²⁸ If God makes what grows in the field so beautiful, what do you think he will do for you? That’s just grass—one day it’s alive, and the next day someone throws it into a fire. But God cares enough to make it beautiful. Surely he will do much more for you. Your faith is so small!

²⁹ “So don’t always think about what you will eat or what you will drink. Don’t worry about it. ³⁰ That’s what all those people who don’t know God are always thinking about. But your Father knows that you need these things. ³¹ What you should be thinking about is God’s kingdom. Then he will give you all these other things you need.

³² “Don’t fear, little flock. Your Father wants to share his kingdom with you. ³³ Sell the things you have and give that money to those who need it. This is the only way you can keep your riches from being lost. (To me, this means having yard sales where you practically give things away and donating to places such as the Goodwill.) You will be storing treasure in heaven that lasts forever. Thieves can’t steal that treasure, and moths can’t destroy it. ³⁴ Your heart will be where your treasure is. (ERV)

This passage says not to be so busy with the mind on the accumulation of earthly treasures because these treasures are like purses with holes in them (that wear out). for you ask for what you value Verse 31 reference back to Luke 11:8-13 - Desiring the HOLY SPIRIT.

Luke 11:8-13

⁸ I tell you, maybe friendship is not enough to make him get up to give you the bread. But he will surely get up to give you what you need if you continue to ask. ⁹ So I tell you, continue to ask, and God will give to you. Continue to search, and you will find. Continue to knock, and the door will open for you. ¹⁰ Yes, whoever continues to ask will receive. Whoever continues to look will find. And whoever continues to knock will have the door opened for them. ¹¹ Do any of you have a son? What would you do if your son asked you for a fish? Would any father give him a snake? ¹² Or, if he asked for an egg, would you give him a scorpion? Of course not! ¹³ Even you who are bad know how to give good things to your children. So surely your heavenly Father knows how to give the Holy Spirit to the people who ask him.” (ERV)

The passage above tells us to be persistent in our asking and to ask for things that glorify GOD - asking for the HOLY SPIRIT is a good thing to do because to do so, pleases GOD. (When you do this, you put the kingdom first.)

I put the gist of the blog into a poem:

 

 HOLY SPIRIT

The HOLY SPIRIT is

A GOOD THING to Ask, seek, and knock for

Because sometimes in our struggle to

Get ahead of the grind

We forget what is important

Serving GOD via the act of being kind.

Sometimes we allow self-gratification

And the need to get ahead

To make us forget about our fellowman

Who may need help being fed.

The last time I checked GOD's Law said

To "love others as ourselves"

Tsk, tsk, tsk, how remiss we tend to be

When we neglect the basic needs of others

In order that we might engage in frivolity

Or simply live in the lap of luxury

For, instead of taking that extra

Vacation or a trip to the sea

What about helping a child through school

By paying a semester of his fees

Or providing a stipend toward the purchase

Of those out of sight textbooks?

There are many ways to help out

Folk who are caught in the grips of poverty

All you have to remember is that

Loving GOD is what our walk here

Is supposed to be about.

So, ask GOD for the gift of the HOLY SPIRIT

To guide you on your way

Mindful of the fact that you are ever striding

Onward with the passing of each day

For one day your soul will be required

And with your journey here, you  will be through

And if you have the HOLY SPIRIT's guidance, you

Will rest easy when your soul is required of you.

 

Bottom line, you are valued more than many birds

So, spread that love to others of the land's herd

For if each one treasures each one then

A loving chorus around this world will be heard.©

I Go My Own Way

I go my own way
For I speak for my FATHER
By night and by day
By the things that you see me do
And by the things that you hear me say
I speak for my FATHER
As I go my own way.

When you see me go to worship
Of a Sunday morn
My going tells my neighbor
JESUS CHRIST was born.

When you see me prepare a meal
And take it to those who are sick
You see me doing my SAVIOR’s bidding
For I know that HIS coming
Might be pretty quick.

Yes, I walk to the beat of salvation’s drum
As I sing that old refrain
"Even so, come Lord JESUS," come.©

The Sweet Spot

The Sweet Spot

Have you ever thought about how it’s going to be when

Trials are over and you have pleased the LORD

And HE orchestrates manifold blessings

That makes you smile and grin

Thought about how sweet it will be to be

Blessed with blessings galore at trials end

When GOD turns your captivity?

When HE turns things around and

Blesses you right in front of men

Have you ever wondered how

It will feel when you’ve gone through monumental tests

That lasted several years of your life

When GOD says, "That’s enough," and HE

Gathers you in the sheepfold blessed

Along that river that is talked about in Psalm 23

Ever wondered how you will feel

When the LORD GOD looks at you with

Benevolent eyes and sits you down to a table

That HE, HIMSELF has spread

And your enemies watch as you are sumptuously fed?

I started this train of thought

On the blog from yesterday

And decided to finish it up with

A few more things that I had to say

I guess this is my way

Of saying to you, "Hold your head up, fellowman

For GOD, Almighty will see you through!

And when HE does it will be better than

Anything you have ever experienced before

As it will be nonending

Because GOD will have decreed that

You have been a faithful soldier indeed

And that, in you, HE is well-pleased!"

So, whatever type of trouble

You might find yourself in

Just remember the sweet spot

That will be yours the moment that

ALMIGHTY GOD, says when!

Why did I revisit the thought

Of a sweet spot on my blog here today

I did it so that you, fellow man,

Can be further encouraged, though you travel

Up “Trials Way."©

********

 

The sweet spot that I have referred to is of a similar caliber to the one that graced Job after GOD turned his captivity. How sweet it was for Job and how sweet the turning of your captivity will be, too.

Just another spill from my pen to help you weather your storms by building endorphins when you dwell a bit upon...

Can Hardly Believe It

Have you ever had something to happen

That caused you to think to yourself,

"This just cannot be,"

For how in the world can this

Wonderful thing be happening to me?

Well, here is something I want you to think about

Remember those times in your life

When trouble turned your world inside out

And You couldn’t believe that this thing

Had happened to you?

Well, “ turnabout’s fair play”

Is what I used to hear the old folks say

So just as that bad thing happened to you

So also can the good

You just enjoy this glad thing

That has come your way

Because Providence has determined

That now is the time it should!©

********

 

Many things happen in this life, some bitter, some sweet. So, it behooves us to enjoy the good moments, knuckle down through the bitter ones, and always remember that nothing lasts forever. And with a mindset like this, you can make it through your rough times. Too, you can enjoy your good times to the max, however long either of them lasts.

More Than Enough for Two

I have more than enough for two

So I decided to share my blessing with you

For, having read what John bid

That is what I just did.

And I would ask that when your fortunes change

That you do the same

Share what you have with someone else

And do it in Jesus‘s name.

It can be a sandwich, a bowl of soup

Or a warm blanket to ward off a chill

For, any act of kindness is the

Doing of GOD’s will.©
