As Judas, in his willful rejection, walked daily beside Jesus, a contrasting hope was about to be born.
Judas’ callous heart longed for an earthly king, which led to betrayal with a sealed traitor’s kiss.
Blind ignorance prevailed. The Pharisees denied their Messiah, and Jerusalem cried out, unable to see.
A despairing loss, overcome by fear, caused hope to flee. Peter denied Him.
Overwhelming grief filled John. He cannot contain his tears as his Messiah died.
Dementia cried out. Darkness enveloped the cross as death’s grip shook the earth.
We, too, walk daily beside the true Messiah, unmoved by the truth and unable to see the light of hope.
Heartbreaking loneliness, man’s despair descended to hell’s depths. Where is hope?
YET,
The morning light hummed with renewed hope. The eternal, wrapped in clay, set Terra free. The Troubadour sang, illuminating the darkness with the song of salvation.
His message rings true: a gift of grace freely given honors choice. The church’s song is the gospel story of God’s eternal plan.
When the harvest is complete, marking the end of the church age, Israel will again have a hand in redeeming man.
The Christmas Story: The Arrival of the Troubadour
The Arrival of the Troubadour
Anticipation filled the air. To the Father’s delight, Emmanuel was born as a beacon in a world shrouded in darkness. The Eastern Star shone brightly through the night, illuminating the path to future hopes.
The Word sang a melody for my heart, a beautiful and poignant tune that resonates within the soul. For those with ears to hear, it was soft and gentle. Like the tiny beats of a hummingbird’s wings, a whispered message arrived.
Gabriel announced the arrival of the King; Jesus dwelt among us. The prophecies of old were fulfilled, awakening a sanguine hope for mankind’s redemption.
The longing for heaven’s echo of the Troubadour’s aria in a songless world. The dawning light of a new beginning quenches our thirst, bringing renewed hope in man’s redemption story.
Beginning of a New Year
The dawning light of a new beginning slates our thirst.
Arousing a sanguine hope for the coming year.

Let's all be ready
Blame and forgiveness go hand-in-hand. "I have smiled at people who have said the most terrible things about me and think I don't know." (from Life Learned Feelings) Purity of the heart means being made clean through the Spirit and the Word. Forgiveness is essential in freeing an emotional bond that binds.
In Philippians 4:8, we are encouraged to let our minds dwell on the transformative power of positive thoughts, on "whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things."
Romans 12: 1-2 reveals the path to transformation through the renewal of our minds. These two verses are not just self-help tools but a testament to the power of the Word and the Spirit in guiding our thoughts. No matter the circumstances, focusing on the Word and allowing the Spirit to guide us is the key to improving our state of mind.
I know it is not easy. I sometimes enjoy thinking ill of those who have wronged me and wish for revenge. But that one verse rings in my mind is that judgment belongs to God. Truthfully, I am glad it does; that is a way I can let go and live in peace. In John 14:7, Jesus said, "Peace I leave with you..."
Hurry up Hurry up, and wait. Hurry up, I need an answer. Don't be hasty. Get it done! Don't think, just do. Proverbs 19: 2, whoever makes haste with his feet, misses his way. John 13:7 Satan said to Judas, "What you do, go and do quickly."
Don't hurry, wait upon the Lord. I am poor and needy, hasten to me O God, Psalm 70: 5. Jesus said, "Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of his own accord, but only what he sees the Father doing. For whatever the Father does, that the Son does likewise, John 5:17.
Good advice tells one to settle down, breathe, and mull things over. Psalms and Proverbs are full of such advice. But I get impatient, confused, and depressed over how slow the Lord is to act and to bring restoration. I was fussing at the Lord yesterday, and this being Easter season, the Holy Spirit brought to mind the six hours Jesus hung on the cross. I confessed my impatience. These long-standing issues are unresolved, but I trust God hears my prayers. Jesus waited and asked for this cup to pass. Jesus knew it would not, but like man, some things are hard to face alone, and we want them to hurry up and pass. God says face this world with Me. Run the good race.
Dedication is devoted to a single task or purpose with loyalty and integrity. It means being part of a team. Your family, church, Sunday school, and your neighbor’s welfare are all included in this team. The single task is illuminating God’s love for them through your actions. Job was a dedicated servant who questioned himself in the face of trials but never denounced God. God knew Satan had his eyes on Job and accused Job of being like every man, that once the suffering was hard enough, he would denounce God. Satan wanted to prove that man would curse God. Yet, Job did not. Hebrews Chapter 11 is a testament to men and women who remained faithful and served as a reminder for us. Satan intends to make our lives miserable because he is pure hatred and a liar to the core. Jesus is coming soon, very soon!
Life vs Death Light vs Darkness Love vs Dementia

Suffering: Fear and darkness abide side by side, hiding the old crone of despair. Entrench is their hatred of light.
Drugs and confusion act as cohorts. summoning dementia to rattle the brain, Stirring perturbation, darkness settles in. They invite death and demise, who wonder the abyss. They all grin when pulse is weak, hope is lost. -smile as the soul's vapor vanishes, but all is not loss.
but the light is still there, follow the light. hope is not lost, light is not gone.
Remember! Darkness is only the absence of light. Dementia is only the confusion of truth. Death is only your soul rejecting God.
Discernment and light walk hand in hand. Light is not afraid to illuminated a way.
The Troubadour sings salvation's song, illuminating a path.
His message rings through dementia's trap, soothing a troubled heart.
Jesus breathes life into a yearning soul, chasing death away.
Jesus breathes life into one's soul, shines a light on a dark path, loves the yearning soul.
Send love to a yearning soul. soothes the yearning soul with his gift of grace and love
Jesus is the truth, the light and the way.
.
for the confused mind. Look up for hope,
Jesus breathes life into one's soul. Shines a light on a dark path, Send love to a yearning soul.
Follow the lighted path of God's Word,
grasp for the light of God's word, yearn for the pure milk of the Word, and seek the deep truth of who our God is.
“The wise woman builds her house, but with her own hands the foolish one tears hers down” (Proverbs 14:1).
There’s nothing like a country bear dancing at the county fair. Joining in, a city sow twirling to a graceful bow. Hand-to-hand in promenade stance, two partners, ready to dance. With’a two-step wiggle bop, jumping to a wobble hop. Polly pocket shuffle scoot, showing off in leather boots.

Here was second option: Hallo's Eve comes once a year when certain creatures reappear. Pumpkin faces scare the dead, filling ghouls full of dread. Jack-O-Lantern fools the gnome, we're disguised, free roam. Around the corner, house insight, dare we run with all our might. Safe inside we dance with glee. Jack-O-Lantern smiles at me.

Slipping through the morning's dew sunlight cracks the dawn

cool zephyr breeze flows over tender grasses goose pimples giggle.

March hurricane prelude whirlybirds in the wind bliss ignorance
wrapped by clouded storms, dark tornadoes, the March winds rumble.
Terrestrial tides collide, rising high, but twice a year. Sun and Moon stand poised

Skywatchers wait for spring's first Full Moon, the frozen Earth relents.
Copperheads seek to fill their bellies, Cicadas beware.
raining pink petals seeds of new life- genesis
Sky-watchers tarry as the moons of March herald change,
Spring's first Full Moon frozen earth relents.
Rusted ceiling bolts serve as a reminder of the old porch swing.
Life ends, yet lives on where (when) memories flow.
the lack of coziness and warmth, e-books no page turns, miss flipping
March Equinox, perfectly balanced, spring arrives.
Moons of March Sky looks down on Earth with the dark eye of a new moon, spring winks at the stars. Seeds shed winter's shield, roots stretch in fertile dirt- March winds howl for spring. Muddling nightcrawlers rise under the Worm Moon- loam stirs, breaking free. Foretoken of spring, marsh marigolds in damp fields Hoverflies delight. The Sugar Moon shines as silver Maples release sweet sap, March winds heralding change. Terrestrial tides collide, rising high, but twice a year, the sun and moon poised. The March Equinox, a perfectly balanced day, spring arrives.

Respite: No tempatation has over come you except what is common to man. I Cor 10:13 A Psalm of David. For God alone my soul waits in silence; from him comes my salvation. He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not be greatly shaken. Ps 62:1-2 They who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.Is 40:31 Jesus walked this earth as a man. He knows what it means when we say weary bones, tired to the bone or when we are overwhelm. The cares and burdens of this world can be too much to handle. Even Jesus ask for this cup to be passed, yet he obeyed. memories lay curled tumbled, dark rumble inner balance skewed Sometimes we are overwhelm, our faith shaken, sometimes we are just tired and need rest, sometimes we have lost our way, darkness overwhelms. Despite our circumstances, God calls us to him. PS 23 Take an intermission and rest. A respite brings clarity.

truth is a plumbline that does not vary or does it compromise.
God's Word does not compromise Truth. It is our plumbline, our standard, our foundation to live by. God cannot lie. Therefore, our foundation is solid as a rock. (Amos and Hebrews)
Spoil: 2/16/24 If one is spoilt to the point of self-validation where no moral code or truth instructs one's character, then deception will reign in that person's heart. It began in the 50s when having fun and earning money became more important in one's life than Jesus. The '60s sexual revolution attacked God's plan for the family. The divorce rate rose. Government welfare further broke families apart. As a result, abortion was reintroduced back into our society as a legal means to kill an unwanted child. The Gospel ended child-sacrifice to Molek. Next, the me-generation of self-promotion and social media took hold. Today, the number of clicks is the primary source of self-validation. Knowing how God designed you and finding self-worth in the eternal God is lost. Deception crept in, and we ignored it. Our spoiled generations prefer to believe a lie rather than the truth. A person must seek God's gift of discernment. One's gain must be Christ. Phillippians 1:21 For me to live is Christ and to die is gain. Prayer and the gospel saves.
Consumed by hurt! So, how does one live beyond the hurt and maintain hope? Hurtful words dash across the heart. Dreams unrealize by the busy cares of the day lie in waste. When children refuse to talk to their parents, hope for restoration dims when the years roll into another. When the future seems clouded by nefarious purposes, we pray for a turn of events. Sadness and regret fill a life once lived. Hope lost in darkness cries of despair. We cry. Yet, we still hope. Why? Hope lies beyond our regrets and missed opportunities. Hope restores the heart and clears the way for renewed dreams. Hope rests on the foundational truth of Christ Jesus. When love seems lost, and we've lost our way, hope shines a light. It dispels the darkness of despair. The heart responds. Hope carries the vital healing power of frankincense and myrrh. Its soothing components restore our faith and love. Hope heals!
Waste: Every religion created by man is self-serving: serve me, sacrifice your wealth and what you love most for me. Mohammad, Joseph Smith, Jim Jones, and Prosperity preacher Norman Vincent Peale all proclaimed to know the way to God or how to live one's life, offering their guidance without knowing the one true God. Religion and empty philosophies created by man waste time, energy, and resources.
God has given us free will. We can choose the false prophets, various religions, or respond to the call of the Holy Spirit. Our spirit is drawn to the Holy Spirit; we can accept or reject God. In doing so, we recognize the creator and his creation; he existed before time began, and the cross was laid as a foundation for a relationship with the eternal God. Colossians 2:8-10 v. 8 See to it that there is no one who takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception in accordance with human tradition, in accordance with the elementary principles of the world, rather than in accordance with Christ. 9 For in Him all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form, 10 and in Him you have been made complete, and He is the head over every ruler and authority;
"Jesus, the apostles Paul, Peter, and John all repeatedly warned such men would rise up among us, and lead many astray, even within the visible church. They warned that not only would there be many False Teachers, there would be many followers of them as well ...people "to suit their own desires ...will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear." (2 Tim 4:3). Sadly, very few people do their homework when considering their own pastors, so the wolves have taken advantage of this fact to keep multitudes in their blinded condition." https://www.monergism.com/modern-day-false-teachers
Far: This is the last post for January. The post from 'proverbs27thlock' emphasizes living short and living long. Twenty-six days have passed, and what have I done for the Lord and others? What is my daily focus? With 339 days left this year, what is living long? (I recommend reading his post). I usually write my posts/ideas before reading others. I see how far away I am from accomplishing some of my goals. My writing is about revisions and getting to the final stages for submissions. But I have revised two stories that I think are submission ready. Community is about reaching out to international students, learning Korean, and inviting people to church- two opportunities this past week. Re-memorizing scriptures and a daily bible study laced with prayer. I was having trouble quoting a scripture I know from memory- yep, gotta use it or lose it. What affects my living short and long? Procrastination and distractions sometimes are the order for the day. I am like grasshoppers who forgets to look up for guidance.(Yes, there is a bible verse, can't remember where.) So begin the day by looking up and inviting God to order my steps.
Say what are God's patterns in each season of life. God designed each season of your life to bring the fruition of His will. Thereby, God reveals Himself uniquely to your spirit so that I can know the Father, the creator of this world. What would I say to the Father? I think of the Father as ominous and exacting, yet even in the Old Testament, I see kindness and willingness to listen and even change His mind. Kate used the word shutter to think this morning in her video. Grief does make one shutter. I did not have a kind earthly father, and after the divorce, I never saw him until I was an adult. So, I will admit to having a skewed perception of the Heavenly Father. The words Kate used to describe grief were enigmatic and illusive. I remembered the melancholy impression from childhood as I watched my grandson wishing his father was present. This image is not what God intended when He first designed the family unit. The father was to represent the heavenly Father by providing a safe place, protection, and security - a home filled with love and care. The heavenly Father is teaching me about Himself. He wants me to understand Him as the Father, someone I can come to and sit, talk, and listen to.
What is God’s pattern of love in my life? What do I know, what have I seen, why are prayers unanswered, when do prodigals return, and how will things be restored. God did not save me to lose me in doubt and fear.
The Bible doesn't explain God, the Father; it declares Him. God is a spirit to be worshiped in spirit and truth. How can a spirit be known? Fact: Nothing preexisted God. The three in one spirit existed and, by His word, spoke the world into existence. Jesus is our visible manifestation of the Father; now we have His spirit within. Our Father wants us to have a relationship with Him. The story of the prodigal son is about the Father and Israel's rejection of salvation for the Gentiles. The older brother is Israel. The younger brother is the Gentiles. The Father would have smothered them in unconditional love, but the older brother was unwilling. God, the Father, established Israel as a beacon to the world. Micah 6:8 says He has shown you what is good and what the Lord requires of you. The Father desires us to know Him and trust Him as Job did. The rich young ruler was willing to follow certain rules but he wasn't willing to love Jesus above his worldly possessions or his worldly POV So, I need to look at my patterns of doubt, questioning God about unanswered prayers. In my depths of despair, do I still trust, like Job? Do I find rest in Him (Ps 23)? When do I rely on the Holy Spirit for guidance? My patterns are mine and with the help of the Holy Spirit, I have discernment to discover more about the Father.
January Kindness Month Kind words are like honey, sweet to the soul and healthy for the body. Proverbs 16:24 Kindness towards someone else, helps them feel seen, appreciated, and valued.
Kindness is like a ripple. Each little thing we do goes out into the world touching more and more people. Each thing we do can be kind, mean, or just a missed opportunity. The one certainty is that kindness can rip through meanness. Kindness interjected at any moment diminishes the ripple of negativity.
Every act of KINDNESS creates a ripple. Each little thing we do goes out into the world touching more and more people. What will you do to start a ripple of kindness today?
He hath showed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God? Micah 6:8

Psalm 34:18 The Lord is always near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit. My pastor preached on Philippines 4. Rejoice always, and in everything by prayer, and supplication with thanksgiving, let your heart (request) be made known to God. God knows your heart but do we? Paul was able to face persecution because Paul knew his own heart and the heart of God
God established Time Knowing God- Time is a fixed entity that is set for a season and is always moving forward. God cannot undo time. God's purposes are unchangeable and set for a season of salvation as a test to man's free will. (Hebrews 6:17-18) There is no variation or shifting of shadows for God's unchangeable plan. All things being possible for God ( Phil 4:13, Matt 19:26) is predicated on a few impossibilities concerning His nature. God cannot lie and therefore He is the plumb-line for the truth to be measured. God exists outside of time. He is the Alpha and Omega. Imagine God holding the ribbon of time, the beginning in one hand to the end in the other. He surveys all of time, simultaneously.
(NOTE: Moses convinced God not to destroy Israel for their unbelief and events were change when David prayed and ask God what would happen if he remained in the city. So David left and Saul did not attack.)
The Power of God's Word
We have entered an age where everyone is right in their own eyes. Each version is at odds with the other. God's Word is the plumb line by which all truth is measured. A plumb line is a weight suspended from a string used as a vertical reference line to ensure a structure is centered. God cannot lie; it is impossible for him to do so; therein lies the power of His Word.
Hebrews 4:12, For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires.
Psalm 119:105, Your word is a lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path.
God loves your soul like the soil loves the tree.
God's Word is the soil where we firmly root our faith.
The soil gives the tree all the space it needs to grow.
God's will is His Word.
It is not a roadmap but a relationship.
God is more interested in what you become than what you do.
Colossians 1:9.
Having received Christ Jesus as Lord, you are:
firmly rooted,
grounded,
built up in Him, and
overflowing with gratitude-
one faith, one hope, one Lord.
Comfort comes by knowing that you are firmly rooted.
Love your God-given soul like the soil loves the tree.
