Seek the Pearl

Let him who seeks continue to seek until he finds.
When he finds, he will become astonished.
When he becomes astonished, he will be king.
And when he becomes king he will find rest.

The Attitude of Jesus

Who being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made Himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to death, even death on a cross! Therefore God exalted Him to the highest place and gave Him a Name above every name, that every knee should bow in heaven and on earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the Glory of God the Father!

Lessons Learned

A merciful gift from my Father to me, is the sight within my faith, every where my eyes may fall, they gaze upon His Grace.
Everything within our view, the Father did create. How is it then that we don't know what to appreciate?
I've often wondered why we must suffer so much pain, is there a reason, is there a hope, of something to be gained?
This life we live is a gift, for wisdom we must seek. Understanding comes, after many trials, while feeling low and weak.
I find that in my hardest times, He made Himself more known, with faith in Him, I have no fear, I'm never left alone.
The love that God has for us, was given from the first, and for this love He has bestowed the blessings of this earth.
We do not really have a care, we're made adaptable, with love of stature we find this no longer respectable.
Often wisdom comes to those who haven't got a clue, with open hearts and open minds, they have found the truth.
{Luke 10:21-22} Then Jesus was filled with the joy of the Holy Spirit and said," I praise you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for hiding these things from the intellectuals and worldly wise and for revealing them to those who are as trusting as little children. Yes, thank you Father, for that was your good pleasure. My Father and I are one, no one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son, and whomever He chooses to reveal Him to.

Perishables

We kid ourselves, we refuse to see, we've already been given the death penalty.
It's just a matter of time, no matter what we do, we'll be pushing up daisies, this way of life will be through.
If we live honestly, we know what to expect, it's good verses evil, to love or reject.
By living each day as if it were your last, there's still hope for a future when this life is past.
Having no need for worry, or earthly concern, we'll treat others fairly as they will in return.
For it's the cowards who fear, and in ignorance they kill, taking life sure is easy, it requires no skill.
They only make quicker, what will be anyway, no matter the method, we all have our day.
All living creatures go through this phase, why try to deny it, we have only delays.
There's no need to wish harm to anyone, because of transgressions, this is already done.
Have no preconceptions, live this life carefree, cause no one to suffer, give to all your mercy.
Take the days you've been given, learn who God loves the most, you will not be fearful to give up the ghost.
{1 Corinthians 15:49-50} And just as we have borne the likeness of earthly man, so shall we bear the likeness of the man from heaven. I declare to you brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.

FAITH

My darkness was deep, no light filtered in, as if in a sleep, my eyes would not open.
Fear stretched out before me, leaving room for nothing else. Where is my light of reason? I'm here all by myself!
I cried out to my maker, don't turn your power away! Please shine your light upon me, so I will never stray!
He heard me crying out to Him, and said in the Word that's His voice," I never turned away from you, that was your choice".
He removed the evil of darkness, now I can see, that His love, His wisdom, His courage, is constantly with me!
I can walk in the light without fear, in the Grace that God has given, it must be accepted however, for on earth to be as in heaven!
{John 9:39} Then Jesus told him,"I have come into the world to give sight to the spiritually blind and to show those who think they see that they are blind.

WHAT??!!

Time is of the essence for each tender soul, needing the nourishment of affliction, makes one humble, hunger filled.
Energized vessels corruption can't resist. Reused mass for varied vermin, oxygen made enemy, empty vessels, wonders never cease.
Thoughts, where do they go, what becomes of them? Constant changing everything! No control.....only vessels for the hole?......Can't fathom, I am more!
Tired battled burdens without relief, the living carcasse wearied from it's rotting stench, the tender soul crying for release,........captivity is relinquished from it's hold!
Energy is always, it will always be, when my energy leaves my vessel, which one is really me?
{Romans 18:21} I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. The creation waits in eager expectation for the sons of righteousness to be revealed. For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by it's own choice, but by the will of the One who subjected it, in the hope that the creation itself will be liberated from it's bondage to decay and brought into the glorious freedom of the children of God.
