As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.
*******************
I asked the Lord in my quietness
with him, is man's life worth living.
To Christ, it was, he did what he
did, and without him, we would not have eternal life.
People today are in doubt of having children, of the turmoil on earth,
and some are despondent of life, and don't want to live anymore.

[/TABLE] The question was asked in a personal way towards my Lord.

[/TABLE]
This is what I got back in answer.
Each blade of grass, was someone's softness under foot.
Someones food. Cattle on the hills.
A play ground for children to roll on.
Each flower was a beautiful sight to see.
A fragrant smell, to smell.
A gift to someone,
An adornment of a table,
and a memory of respect
of a memorial.
Our life is like this.
Someone has walked in our path,
someone has been touched
by our gentleness.
Someone has been in the fragrance of Jesus
because of him, with us.
As everything has been made from God's hands,
made in gentleness, the flowers, the coverings of the earth,
even fruits, bruise, so is his spirit within us to be gentle.
Life given is worth living.
Life's road's will always show the footprints where we have walked, and
left something behind
for another.
Just as the grass under our feet,
and the flowers in the fields.

And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer:
***************************** One day the clock watch will not be needed.
What a great time that will become.
There was a documentary about age. That one day a girl is not 18 yet. If still sweet, and innocent, helps mom in the kitchen, and luvs those sweet teddy bears, at the stores, and fuzzy slippers. Hugs to mom, and family, and has hopes and dreams, of herself becoming a mom one day.
17 one day, and everything changes because of time in 24 hours, in a day when the person turns 18.
The thing that is happening now, and that is legal to put all kinds of pics. on the web, and solicit for money.
One day, a sweet girl, is turned into a hard cold person, not caring who she is anymore, and who she is with, for money. Those girls talked about making a few hundred dollars, to do the most horrific things, to get beat in the face, it's just prostitution, and then they had said, that they feel nothing anymore, and get bribed with some things at first, just to entice them into a nightmare of hell.
One day from being under someone's protection, to being under someone's production of destructive evil. It was the most horrible thing ever. To think these things, are exploited in children, is demonic, and without a question, those who lead this will pay a heavy price in eternal damnation, whether they believe it or not, for money for the love of money is the root to all evil. It has become a God. The Lord God said, he will destroy all idol worshippers, and they will not outlive their days, will render in punishment for eternity without an end.
The above verse, says there will be no more time. A covering and a protection, to our spirit, not as here on this earth, one day, a soul is vibrant, and desires to live, and the next day, that same person, desires death, for she feels empty used, and death in her spirit.
To do this this woman said, in Mexico, was no different to her being dead, and a dead corpse being desigrated, as the spirit really does die, they destroy the emotions, of feeling love, and self worth. These people are demonic and possessed to dishonor a life, that God had created. They will pay a great price, in hell for eternity, whether they believe the words of the Lord or not, for he the Lord said, "his words will not come back void unto him, " let every man be a liar, but God is not a MAN that he should lie.
Pay day is on it's way, to many.
The greatest pay we could accept is our salvation from a loving God, who gave us his Son, Jesus Christ.
Philippine 3:20 for our citizen ship is in heaven, spiritually.
This world is cruel to many, it is cold, and dark, Jesus fought all the evils of it, and broke all the strongholds, and made a way for us. Thanksgiving may be over, but it's not really over, let's begin it today, being Thankful for being out of evils, and in the Hands of a Loving heavenly Father.
Psalm 91.
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned. Isa 43:2
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned. Isa 43:2
Life is sacred. In Remembrance of those who began a new life in the Kingdom of God.
You are loved by your Heavenly Father Abba God, who has taken you into his bosom, and wraped you up in his arms of Love, to live with him, in his home of Love eternally, you are safe, now, out of pain, and tears, and heartaches, God has heard your heart when you had no words to speak. You are home now.

Psalm27:13-14 “I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.”
The word says something opposite from what the world says ie, as don't give love a chance, walk out on your family etc. This could be worldly thinking, another word for worldly is carnality, or having a carnal mind instead of having the mind of Christ as having the leading of the word, which is a light unto us, and it says, Jesus is the light of the world.
A bad report or like a bad report card will put you in the dumps, and make you feel like a failure. This is the total opposite of what this scripure is saying, that God gives us hope, and has made us his sons and daughters Galations 4:6.
Matthew 18: And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others: 10Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. 11The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. 12I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess. 13And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. 14I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
"But I warn you--unless your righteousness is better than the righteousness of the teachers of religious law and the Pharisees, you will never enter the Kingdom of Heaven!
that thy kindness may be in secret, and thy Father who is seeing in secret Himself shall reward thee manifestly. Parallel Commentaries Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary
6:1-4 Our Lord next warned against hypocrisy and outward show in religious duties. What we do, must be done from an inward principle, that we may be approved of God, not that we may be praised of men. In these verses we are cautioned against hypocrisy in giving alms. Take heed of it. It is a subtle sin; and vain-glory creeps into what we do, before we are aware. But the duty is not the less necessary and excellent for being abused by hypocrites to serve their pride. The doom Christ passes, at first may seem a promise, but it is their reward; not the reward God promises to those who do good, but the reward hypocrites promise themselves, and a poor reward it is; they did it to be seen of men, and they are seen of men. When we take least notice of our good deeds ourselves, God takes most notice of them. He will reward thee; not as a master who gives his servant what he earns, and no more, but as a Father who gives abundantly to his son that serves him.

There is a lot of scriptures about be not people pleasers, but have a deep relationship with the Father God through his son Jesus. An intimacey, and one that is of love, and not fear, for God does not incorporate fear into his gospel. "God has not given us a spirit of fear." "The fear of man is a snare, a trap, to get you into it, and out of Faith."
There is a lot the HOly Spirit said about doing things that are just between you and him. LIke a marriage, you don't broadcast your intimacey, as being united in a blood covenant with the Lord God through Jesus, it is a spiritual marriage, where he proclaims, he will come and take his bride away, those of us who are in a spiritual commitment with him.
There are things that we are to be discreet and kept private, just between our relationship with the Lord. That is written.
1. Is that it says, when you fast, wash your face, and anoint yourself with oil, don't cast a down face, to appear to men you are fasting.
2. When you give, alms is called giving, do it as in secret, not as unto men, where so privately that your left hand does not know what your right hand is doing.
This is really private.
3. When you pray, don't be like the scribes, and Pharisses, standing in long prayers, for they have their reward already, but when you pray "enter into your closet, and in private, the Lord will reward you openly."
4. Women be discreet.
5. Husbands love your wifes as Christ loved the church.
The first three are leading us into a personal, intimate relationship, with 3's a crowd, not a triangle, of some human being getting into our spirit, but only you and the Lord. This is what personal relationship is about, and not religious.
What does the bible say about True Religion; then it was called Religion, or should of been translated as Faith, that the real deal is this; To visit the widows, and the fatherless. Jesus already knew the rest, if you visit these, you most likely will take them under your wing, with prayer, or a helping hand of what they need. This is what Jesus ministry is all about COMPASSION.

1 And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint; 2 Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man: 3And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mineadversary. 4And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man; 5 Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me. 6 And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith. 7And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?
Note
If Jesus was the Son of God, why did He call Himself the Son of Man?Answer
8I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he findfaith on the earth? 9 And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:
***********
Here is something I want to share , and as the Lord taught me something. That his word teaches us, admonishes, and gives us Wisdom, for it is a light unto us, as it was inspired by the Lord, who is the light of this world.
Actually a year ago, and this is only one of many, many, many, miracles, some people had seen them, and told others, and they don't believe them, so I will leave the things that the Lord has done, and is doing, and emphasize, magnify the greatest one that God is with us, his spirit is within us, and he walks before us as the good Shepard, Psalm 23, He leads us.
The spirit of the Lord warns us of things, is our helper, Proverbs says, he is our advocate, and counselor.
There was something I needed an answer what to do with a situation. So I prayed each nite, hoping in the day lite, there was going to be an answer.
A day went by, I kept praying, each nite, another day went by, and I didn't quite, a week went by or longer, and one morning, being sound asleep, it was like the trumpet anouncment of a message, in a sweet angelic tone, the answer, it was said, over about 3 times, LOUD.
It woke me up, actually jolted me to sit up, and I went and asked someone what does this item mean, that I needed the answer for, I never heard the title, and we went on the web, and found it to be the exact thing, answer that I was praying for.
At that time, I didn't know why the Lord didn't answer right away. Sometimes in dangerous warnings, he has woken me up, with a stern warning, not to do or go somewhere, we all have angels, for the 91 Psalm says so, they encamp around those who fear the Lord.
Just today, when we get close to the Lord, he has compassion on us, he is a Father that doesn't want us to hurt, or be abused, or be depressed, or distressed, for it is not him that brings these things on.
He is Joy, unspeakable and full of glory.
So today, the Holy Spirit reminded me of this verse..
Be persistent, in seeking him, don't get discouraged in praying, I know I need to read the word more. Maybe back then, I would of realized that the answer would be coming, and to be persistent, but when it came after a week or so, just like a bolt of lighting, woke me up, I actually sat up, and went to find out what this meant, and it was the answer.
Just as this parable is an example of perseverance, and not giving up, it also is saying that the Lord is near to us, and wants to help us, and deliver us from all things, to bless us, and we need to draw near to him, with our whole heart, Love the Lord thy God, with ALL thy heart, soul, and mind.
There is nothing else to do to get into the throne room, it doesn't take a Phd of theology to show at the door or entering into the Holy of hollies, or your paper check. I know, I've lived this for a long time this way, before I was religious.
