encouragement

as i was reading this morning these words strengthened me.

God is my shield,

saving those whose hearts are true and right.

there are people who think up evil

and plan trouble

and tell lies

they dig a hole to trap others

but they will fall into it themselves

they will get themselves into trouble

the violence they cause will hurt only themselves.

i praise the lord because He does what is right.

I sing praises to the Lord Most High

-psalm 7:10, 14-17

isn't that powerful and encouraging!!

God just keeps me in awe of His beauty!

i know some of you may not understand or know the situation at hand

and it may be even more difficult to not get caught up in gossip

yet if you are even somewhat aware or if you really know me

you must realize

i will not respond to hatred with hatred, nor gossip with gossip,

or fear and intimidation the same.

these characteristics are not what i aspire too.

i have nothing to hide-

the truth is what it is

i will respond only in trusting My Shield

--- to reveal the truth at the right time, and for the right reasons.

the WHOLE truth

standing before a judge, raising my right hand

i swore to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth

unfortunately for some, the whole truth may have very devastating consequences.

i will not cover anyone's lies or manipulation.

God is a JUST JUDGE.

He see's all, there is nothing kept from Him!

you can try all you want to paint that judgmental picture with all your self righteous religion

yet the WHOLE truth, is what it is

IN TRUTH there is freedom!!!

NOT fear!

I am not afraid.

unfortunately when one operates in the native language of LIES,

FEAR is your best friend.

yes then, selfish one, you might very well be very afraid of the consequences.

despite all my hurt and even anger, i pray for you,

yes you, selfish one, may you not get what you truly deserve,

because that judgement is very harsh.

my prayer is for Truth and Freedom

I know deep down you are afraid of Freedom

maybe, just maybe you will be so MOVED

and your eyes will begin to see clearly again-

so as to truly comprehend your selfishness

and may the darkness be exposed!

hopefully if or when you can find the Light

and clarity,

your whole life will be rearranged for the better.

i put Love and Grace on the table, you refused them.

i did not force this issue, your selfishness did.

i will put my trust in The Truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
