Praise the LORD! Now don't say that out of habit or some rote recitation. Mean it! The very first thing we teach our children is "good manners". The words "please and thank you" are hammered into our heads.
As parents we are tickled and gratified when we hear our little mini-me attempting to mimic us; "Skank ewe (Thank you)". I was gratified by the evidence of what I considered to be genius intelligence in my only child. (I was very relieved to discover my daughter was a quick aggressive learner. GOD spared her the low intelligence of her father. I know, I picked him but "the season was dry". LOL Atlanta was the growing black Mecca for closet (down low) homosexuals.) [a whole nother story]
My point is we teach our children to show or demonstrate their gratefulness. If we show some one kindness or give someone something we automatically expect a "thank you". But do we thank GOD? Do we take Him for granted? Number one, the very first thing you do upon rising is thank GOD! Thank Him for keeping you during the night. Thank Him that no hurt harm or danger befell you. Now thank Him in advance. Thank Him for the things you want. Thank Him for His guidance. Thank Him for opening your eyes and showing you the light.
Pray for the lost. Pray for the deaf and dumb. Remember, you didn't always hear. I didn't always hear and understand when my grandfather advised me correctly. He always told me to pray for my enemies. I thought that was the dumbest advice I ever heard. (I pray to put my foot up'dat n**** a**! ; I would think to myself)
Granddaddy was right of course. "Love your enemies!"; he told me. "Jesus will fix it!" Feel free to have a Good Morning, a Good Day, a Good Life. Feel free to love the LORD. Let the world hate you. If a person hates you or wants to destroy you, there is nothing you can do. There is nothing you can say to win their love.
Listen, tune in keenly to the voice of the LORD Jesus Christ. Humble yourself and love the LORD!
Walk by faith, not by sight. I don't care what it looks like. Don't get pulled in by satan's smoke and mirrors. If you find yourself in agreement with the evil one something is wrong!
May GOD's Grace, Mercy and Truth engulf you, cloak you and keep you in Perfect Peace,
Rachel Gwendolyn (the exceedingly proud granddaughter of a great Patriarch, JEROME WALTERS)
