The Bosom Position..and purple hearts.

[sheila]

..in this great spiritual warfare...many have been wounded by the enemy..for the battle of the mind,heart and body of man.

....being born into captivity....the corrupt image...many are killed while yet in the womb..afflicted and neutralized as an image

  of God before any growth..spiritual and physical can occur..  The world was not worthy of them.  the 'Lazarus' begger class...the

homeless..destitute outcasts...that only recieved  the painful meager substinence in this world.....Royal purple hearts await them

when He brings them home to His bosom..and they take their positions in the body.


   remember the homeless..the destitute..the alcoholic...the drug addict..the prostitutes on the streets...and know that they have

  been 'neutralized' by the kingdom of darkness...and fallen in the war with the wicked one...that wants the Holy one of Israel to

cease before his face.

   when you see these fallen brother's..know that Jesus Christ is his brother's keeper...and purple[royal] hearts await them..in

  the bosom position of the Lord.

Who is to say who is closer to God?

Only He knows what is men's hearts. Our world is so quick to look at one or two points and write someone off. God created each of us in his image and likeness. We have all fallen short of the glory of God, through sin. Who is to say that the person addicted to their iPhone is any better or worse than the alcoholic or the drug addict?  We are not to have any other gods before Him.....yet, at some time in our life, probably more than we care to admit, we all do, IMO. And, do we know what burdens other people bare, how hard life is for them, or what demons they struggle against?

Love your fellow man/woman and let God judge their hearts.

Luke 4:

16He went to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and on the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue, as was his custom. He stood up to read, 17and the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. Unrolling it, he found the place where it is written:

18"The Spirit of the Lord is on me,
because he has anointed me
to proclaim good news to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners
and recovery of sight for the blind,
to set the oppressed free,
19to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor."f
20Then he rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant and sat down. The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fastened on him. 21He began by saying to them, "Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing."

Amen and amen.

Well said y'all!  The Gospel is so awesome and I am amazed at how long it has taken me to arrive at the Truth of it. The halls of religion are like a labyrinth and if it wasn't for the Grace of God we would never find our way out. It seems to me that many of us have had to fail numerous times to understand the Amazing Grace we all sing about. I realize some don't take as long but I can say this THANKSGIVING that I am very grateful for a softened heart and the Joy of the revelation of the Heart of God toward all his creation.
