This Day

This Day (1st draft)

Greeks
who to the Jewish festival came
for worship
did Jesus seek

requested Philip, telling Andrew informing Jesus
who "answered them:

“The hour has come for the Son of man to be glorified." John 12:20-23.

To fulfill his Father's will
for him to die as "a grain of wheat"
which bears much fruit

after buried under soil
trampled by unworthy feet. vs. 24.

After conceding the designated time
Christ stated:

"Now I am troubled,

and what should I say?
Father, save me out of this hour.

Nevertheless,
this is why I have come to this hour.

Father, glorify your name.” vs. 27.

Although feeling stressed
agitated
his power weak

empowering

his Father's next words
onlookers thought: thunder

when Jah Jehovah
did from heaven
approvingly speak:

“I have glorified it
and will glorify it again.” vss. 28, 29.

Speculated
an angel spoke.

But Jesus said as vss. 30-32 we quote:

“This voice has occurred,
not for my sake,

but for your sakes.

Now there is a judging of this world;

now the ruler of this world will be cast out.

And yet I,
if I am lifted up from the earth,

will draw all sorts of men to myself.”

But skepticism remained
as wicked crowds did then claim:

“We heard from the Law that the Christ remains forever.

How can you say that the Son of man must be lifted up?
Who is this Son of man?” vs. 34.

Although just earlier
Greeks sought Christ to him implore
of salvation to gain.

Appreciative they were.
Although, Christ in purpose
was from them detained.

Yes, a light among them
readily, daily did shine.

But many of them
were not 'righteously inclined'.

However, Jesus himself did them
to even us today, in earnestness did remind:

“The light will be among you a little while longer.

Walk while you still have the light,
so that darkness does not overpower you;

whoever walks in the darkness does not know where he is going. 

While you have the light,
exercise faith in the light,
so that you may become sons of light.” vs. 35, 35.

Then off from them
he went and hid

"Although he had performed so many signs before them,
they were not putting faith in him".

For Isaiah of them prophesied:

“He has blinded their eyes and has made their hearts hard, so that they would not see with their eyes and understand with their hearts and turn around and I heal them.” {vss. 36-40.)

Jehovah did not them call
to do his bid. For did not Jesus himself say:

"No man can come to me unless the Father, who sent me, draws him,

and I will resurrect him on the last day.

It is written in the Prophets: ‘They will all be taught by Jehovah.’

Everyone who has listened to the Father and has learned comes to me.

Not that any man has seen the Father,
except the one who is from God;

this one has seen the Father.

Most truly I say to you,
whoever believes
has everlasting life." John 6:44-47.

Although, sadly, "many even of the rulers actually put faith in him,

but they would not acknowledge him because of the Pharisees,
so that they would not be expelled from the synagogue;

for they loved the glory of men even more than the glory of God." vss. 42, 43.

So again this day Christ for all his disciples
did pray:

“I make request, not concerning these only,
but also concerning those putting faith in me through their word,

so that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in union with me and I am in union with you,

that they also may be in union with us,
so that the world may believe that you sent me."

"So that the world may know that you sent me and that you loved them just as you loved me."

"I have made your name known to them and will make it known,

so that the love with which you loved me
may be in them

and I in union with them.” John 17:20-26.

Yes, from this day each day,
"let us also throw off every weight and the sin that easily entangles us,

and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,

as we look intently at the Chief Agent and Perfecter of our faith, Jesus." Hebrews 12:1, 2.

Who looked intently at His Reward.
Who has it attained.
Who is already enthroned... 

THIS DAY.

20 Now there were some Greeks among those who had come to worship at the festival. 21 So these approached Philip,+ who was from Beth·saʹi·da of Galʹi·lee, and they began to request him, saying: “Sir, we want to see Jesus.” 22 Philip came and told Andrew.+ Andrew and Philip came and told Jesus.

23 But Jesus answered them: “The hour has come for the Son of man to be glorified.+ 24 Most truly I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains just one grain; but if it dies,+ it then bears much fruit. 25 Whoever is fond of his life destroys it, but whoever hates his life+ in this world will safeguard it for everlasting life.+ 26 If anyone would minister to me, let him follow me, and where I am, there my minister will be also.+ If anyone would minister to me, the Father will honor him. 27 Now I am troubled,+ and what should I say? Father, save me out of this hour.+ Nevertheless, this is why I have come to this hour. 28 Father, glorify your name.” Then a voice+ came out of heaven: “I have glorified it and will glorify it again.”+

29 The crowd that was standing there heard it and began to say that it had thundered. Others said: “An angel has spoken to him.” 30 Jesus answered: “This voice has occurred, not for my sake, but for your sakes.+ 31 Now there is a judging of this world; now the ruler of this world+ will be cast out.+ 32 And yet I, if I am lifted up from the earth,+ will draw all sorts of men to myself.”+ 33 This he was really saying to indicate what sort of death he was about to die.+ 34 Then the crowd answered him: “We heard from the Law that the Christ remains forever.+ How can you say that the Son of man must be lifted up?+ Who is this Son of man?” 35 So Jesus said to them: “The light will be among you a little while longer.+ Walk while you still have the light, so that darkness does not overpower you; whoever walks in the darkness does not know where he is going.+ 36 While you have the light, exercise faith in the light, so that you may become sons of light.”+

Jesus said these things and went off and hid from them. 37 Although he had performed so many signs before them, they were not putting faith in him, 38 so that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, who said: “Jehovah, who has put faith in the thing heard from us?*+ And as for the arm of Jehovah, to whom has it been revealed?”+ 39 The reason why they were not able to believe is that again Isaiah said: 40 “He has blinded their eyes and has made their hearts hard, so that they would not see with their eyes and understand with their hearts and turn around and I heal them.”+ 41 Isaiah said these things because he saw his glory, and he spoke about him.+ 42 All the same, many even of the rulers actually put faith in him,+ but they would not acknowledge him because of the Pharisees, so that they would not be expelled from the synagogue;+ 43 for they loved the glory of men even more than the glory of God.*+

John 12: 44 However, Jesus called out and said: “Whoever puts faith in me puts faith not only in me but also in him who sent me;+ 45 and whoever sees me sees also the One who sent me.+ 46 I have come as a light into the world,+ so that everyone putting faith in me may not remain in the darkness.+ 47 But if anyone hears my sayings and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I came, not to judge the world, but to save the world.+ 48 Whoever disregards me and does not receive my sayings has one to judge him. The word that I have spoken is what will judge him on the last day.+ 49 For I have not spoken of my own initiative, but the Father who sent me has himself given me a commandment about what to say and what to speak.+ 50 And I know that his commandment means* everlasting life.+ So whatever I speak, I speak just as the Father has told me.”+ © 15 hours ago, Lucretia Mccloud    hope • love • society • spiritual • teen   

Love As Do Elephants (first draft)

Love As Do Elephants (first draft)

http://www.reshareworthy.com/nairobi-elephant-orphanage/#vFRfiyTS9SD1YbEd.01

Love as do elephants
loyal, with grace.

When under attack
they circle young or weak
as strong ones outward face.

Love as do elephants
protecting its ring.

With encouragement, yes praise
with our tongues
let sweet words spring.

Love as do elephants
joined together in pride.

Communication is key.
Lack of causes hatred.
Does truly divide.

Love as do elephants
who friends do not forget.

Although, we must also "love our enemies".
Christian brothers, we do not neglect.

Yes,
Love as do elephants.
Keeping each other close in mind.

As Christ died for all mankind
We must be loyal, loving and kind.

When a nearby lion roars on the African savanna, antelope may react by running away at top speed until they are out of danger. Elephants, however, provide an example of mutual support. The book Elephants​—Gentle Giants of Africa and Asia explains: “A means of defense that the typical herd of elephants commonly employs is to form a circle of their bodies, with the adults facing outward against the threat and the young animals protected inside the ring.” Faced with such a manifestation of strength and support, lions rarely attack even young elephants.

16 When threatened by Satan and his demons, we similarly need to stay together, shoulder to shoulder with our brothers who are solid in the faith. Paul acknowledged that certain fellow Christians proved to be “a strengthening aid” to him during his imprisonment in Rome. (Colossians 4:10, 11) The Greek word translated “strengthening aid” appears only once in the Christian Greek Scriptures. According to Vine’s Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words, “a verbal form of the word signifies medicines which allay irritation.” Like soothing ointment, the support of mature worshipers of Jehovah can alleviate the pain caused by emotional or physical suffering.

Elephants “Don’t Forget Their Friends”

“Elephants never forget—or at least, they don’t forget their friends,” reports New Scientist magazine. Dr. Karen McComb of the University of Sussex, England, recorded the low-pitched “contact calls” of female African elephants in Amboseli National Park, Kenya, noting which elephants would meet together frequently and which were strangers. She then played back their calls to 27 elephant families to study their responses. If the animals knew the caller well, they immediately called back. If they knew the caller only slightly, they listened but did not respond, and an unfamiliar call made them agitated and defensive. “They could recognise members of at least 14 other families from their calls, which suggests that each elephant can remember around 100 other adults,” the article stated. Elephants may remember humans too. John Partridge, head of mammals at England’s Bristol Zoo, says that an Asian elephant he worked with for 18 years recognized him when he returned after a three-year break.

Do We Really Need Others?

A Model For Me to Follow

A Model For Me To Follow (Contest: A Tribute to My Hero) restructured

Before the starry heavens
and even before any sky
I imagined, at first wistfully,
in my imperfect mind's eye

the two of them together.

Billions of years of familial bonding.

Tragically, honestly,
my eyes flooded
with tears to cry

picturing this "only-begotton son,"
"a first-born of all creation"
with his Almighty Heavenly Father

bathed in majestic celestial light,
in contrast to Satan's darkness which now is an international blight.

Me, living life in contained misery.
Comatose my plight.
A daughter without her own dad.
Unveiled an envy too ugly to internally hold,
although, horrified for this emotion any onlookers to behold.

Buried years beneath in survival's silence.
Searching for comforting answers
her then-unknown goal.

I imagined their camaraderie,
their happiness
in creating the universe.
Eventually angels applauding
their collective lauding

as Jesus and Jehovah put finishing touches
on our marvelous beautiful earth.

Somehow dampened
my enthusiasm for this awesome favored son
I'm terribly saddened
to confess.

Since born into a world where love is covered over by materialism

valued more than brother
as your mark to true success.
I felt smothered by loneliness.

But as I pondered this Special Creation
beloved by Father; hated by races

His wonderful qualities
patiently
demonstrated
in imitation
of His Creator's
Holiness

I finally understood.

Appreciated this opportunity.

I began to feel really blessed.

How could I mistake there kindness
in offering me Eternal Life

to bond with them in uniting fondness
of ending bitterness and strife?

So now I bow my head
in trepidation
for my arrogant
audacity,
my ignorance,
my jealousy.

My unfounded
frustration.

My desire
today
is to cultivate
Jesus' utmost
Divine
Humility

And love for all people.

He's my Hero.
My Potentate.

Heart-to-Heart

Heart-to-Heart

How real is he
do you feel

his words

as sweet honey
a healing to weary bones?

Did eyes, heavy hearts rise
heaven-high

as warring body torn
immerged

reborn
to live life selfless;

as really free

liberated to eternity

whether heavenly or earthly
it should prove to be?

Or would you rather be left alone
to agonize through horrific storms

dark, angry

too cold?

Everyone's tragedy
food for soul?

Black or blue or red meat
pummeled

you watch or initiate
bold.

Wicked rivalry do you prefer

to consort, distort, report propaganda
to divide

hiding cruelty,
slickness

snide inside

crawling
slithering

ungodliness
to abide?

A sparkling mirror
miraculously leaned

in one's midst
reflects an image

either tainted or clean.

Reveals motives
proper and pure
or satanically mean.

Yes, makes a distinction
in between: the righteous or the wicked.

"Draw close to God,
and he will draw close to you.

Cleanse your hands,
you sinners,

and purify your hearts,
you indecisive ones."

Is this admonition gratifying?

How real is he
do you feel

his words

a sweet healing to weary bones?

Or rather we be left alone to our vices?

We must develop an appetite
for healthy phrases

plus
nature's arts

our loving Creator
does magnificently

impart.

From this day forward
make a start:

A relationship with God.

Heart-to-Heart.

If you please.

And you will again see the distinction between a righteous person and a wicked person, between one serving God and one not serving him.” Malachi 3:18; James 4:8; © 11 minutes ago, Lucretia Mccloud   friendship • hope • love • spiritual • teen   

[ Indeed, ]

Indeed,
asked: How can this be?
Both saintliness and terrorism fed

daily mankind feeds

upon a book read
promoting divine qualities
producing a glorious hope

or causing our earth
in violence to profusely bleed
through extreme cruelty

spearheaded
by diverse cultures
or crippling creeds?

Darwin himself grieved
over his daughter deceased

along with his
“visceral distaste”
for the doctrine of hellfire
by pagandom conceived

through which Christendom
also, members further deceived

although, Biblically stated:

"The soul who sins
is the one who will die." Ezekiel 18:4.

"That is why, just as through one man sin entered into the world and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because they had all sinned". Romans 5:12.

"For the one who has died has been acquitted from his sin." Romans 6:7. "For the wages sin pays is death,

but the gift God gives is everlasting life
by Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 6:23.

So just where does it say our bad ones will fry?

"For the living know that they will die,
but the dead know nothing at all," Eccl. 9:5
does certify.

And Revelation 21:8 does specify:

"But as for the cowards and those without faith and those who are disgusting in their filth and murderers and the sexually immoral and those practicing spiritism and idolaters and all the liars,

their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire* and sulfur. This means the second death.” Never again to arise as Jeremiah 51:57 also clarifies:

"I will make her princes and her wise men drunk,
Her governors and her deputy rulers and her warriors,

And they will sleep a lasting sleep,
From which they will not wake up,”

declares the King,
whose name is Jehovah of armies."
Who himself is called a "God of Love"

whose heart and mind cannot abide
demonic practices inspired by devotion to idols

promoted above
his righteous desires:

"They have built the high places of Toʹpheth, which is in the Valley of the Son of Hinʹnom, in order to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire, something that I had not commanded and that had never even come into my heart.’" Jeremiah 7:31.

Shouldn't we upon His Words build faith and upon rely?
Upon Job's word be further edified?

"So listen to me, you men of understanding:
It is unthinkable for the true God to act wickedly,

For the Almighty to do wrong!

For he will reward a man according to what he does
And bring upon him the consequences of his ways.

For a certainty, God does not act wickedly;

The Almighty does not pervert justice." Job 34:10-12.

"When the wicked sprout like weeds
And all the wrongdoers flourish,
It is that they may be annihilated forever." Psalm 92:7.

So are we better off without the Creator of all humanity?

“Faith adds an insistent moral demand, a responsibility to care for the world that God has created.” Author Keith Ward did concede.

Many are disillusioned by mankind's horrible deeds,
while evolutionists promote survival of the fittest as fact, though unproven this theory over the years

although, generosity and love, which endears,
taught by Christ setting a perfect model to imitate
for all obedient servants of God's Kingdom to adhere

which will eliminate all causes for future fear

is viewed skeptically
by worldly-wise intelligent minds

honest-hearted ones will thankfully hear
these words prophesied also of our day
and of a destruction of wickedness near:

“‘For I well know the thoughts that I am thinking toward you,’ declares Jehovah, ‘thoughts of peace, and not of calamity, to give you a future and a hope.

And you will call me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you.’

“‘You will seek me and find me,
for you will search for me with all your heart.

And I will let you find me,’ declares Jehovah."

Let all lovers of truth and justice
search for the 'God of Peace' and His Son

while the door of opportunity is still open.

Into His Word
take this time
to gratefully
and diligently
peer.

"For the word of God is alive and exerts power and is sharper than any two-edged sword and pierces even to the dividing of soul and spirit, and of joints from the marrow, and is able to discern thoughts and intentions of the heart." Hebrews 4:12.

WHAT IS “THE LAKE OF FIRE”?

Revelation 20:10 says that the Devil will be cast into “the lake of fire” and “tormented day and night for ever and ever.” (King James Version) If the Devil were to be tortured for all eternity, God would have to preserve him alive, but the Bible says that Jesus will “destroy him.” (Hebrews 2:14, KJ) The symbolic fiery lake represents “the second death.” (Revelation 21:8) This is not the death first mentioned in the Bible—death because of Adam’s sin—death from which one may be released by a resurrection. (1 Corinthians 15:21, 22) Because the Bible does not say that “the lake of fire” would release those in it, “the second death” must mean another kind of death, an irreversible one.

In what sense are those in “the lake of fire” tormented eternally? At times, “to torment” can mean “to restrain” someone. Once when Jesus confronted the demons, they cried out: “Art thou come hither to torment us [restrain us in the abyss] before the time?” (Matthew 8:29; Luke 8:30, 31; KJ) So all of those in “the lake” will suffer the “torment” of everlasting restraint, or “the second death.”
Does God Punish People in Hellfire?

'A River of Waters of Life'

Exists a turbulent dark thunderous sea
churning up seaweed, plus mire.
Wicked ones lacking calmness. No rest. Any.
Yet, true peace, meek ones desire.

Yes.

"And I saw a new heaven and a new earth;
for the former... passed away".
Wicked to "shrivel like green new grass." Firth-less.
Hope in Jah. Forever. Stay.

For,

"There is no peace," says my God, "for the wicked.""
Must pray: "Lead me in the way
of eternity." Unlike lamb in thicket.
Drink from pure waters today.

For "a loud voice from the throne" (of God) did say:
"He will wipe out every tear".
"Death will be no more". Neither "Mourning". "Pain". Decay.
God's tent protecting from fear.

"A river of water of life," crystal clear
flowing from God's and Lamb's throne
"down the middle of its main street." "Come!" Meek. Near.
"On both sides of" river known:

"Trees of life producing 12 crops of fruit," fresh
"for the healing of" nations.
Jah’s provision through Christ sinful mankind blessed.
"Leaves of the trees" not rationed.

"And the spirit and the bride keep on saying,"
"Let anyone thirsting come;
let anyone who wishes" not delaying
"take life’s water free."... Welcome!

"Lame will leap like the deer," "waters will burst forth
in the wilderness, streams. Sprays.
"Yes, a way called the Way of Holiness." True north.

"It is reserved for the one walking on the way;
With "no one foolish" to stray
on it. Forever, "Grief and sighing will flee away."

Yes, "he showed me a river of water of life,
clear as crystal, flowing out
from the throne of God and of the Lamb" without strife.

"Because the Lamb, who is in the midst of the throne,
will shepherd them and will guide them
to springs of waters of life." Glorious days known.

Promised: "God will wipe out every tear from their eyes.”
"Let anyone who wishes take life’s water free."
"Let no man deprive you of the eternalprize"

Living under own vine in real security!

The Spirit and the Bride Keep On Saying: ‘Come!’”

That Glorious Day!

As done in long ago days of ancient/old
praise because of salvation will again be sung
unitedly joyful,

internationally bold. Sounds of exultation. Sounds of rejoicing.

Voices of ones saying: “Give thanks to Jehovah of armies, for Jehovah is good;

his loyal love endures forever!”’ For "A nation that is keeping faithful conduct." It definitely could!

Safeguarded--"those who fully lean on you;"

granted "them continuous peace,
because it is in you that they trust." Thankfully,
anxious stress brought to tranquil ease.

"Trust in Jehovah forever,
For Jah Jehovah is the eternal Rock."

Because he is upright,
paths of the righteous he will smooth.
In finality's grateful end
wickedness' rampage will be gloriously removed.

Although, for now as David extolled:

"In the night I long for you with my whole being,
Yes, my spirit keeps looking for you;

For when there are judgments from you for the earth,
The inhabitants of the land learn about righteousness."

"For as the earth brings forth its sprouts
and as the garden makes what is sown in it sprout,
so will the Sovereign Lord Jehovah
cause righteousness and praise to sprout

before all the nations."

Since, "even if the wicked is shown favor,
he will not learn righteousness. Even in the land of uprightness
he will act wickedly,

And he will not see the majesty of Jehovah.

O Jehovah, your hand is raised, but they do not see it."

But, "they will see your zeal for your people
and be put to shame.

Yes, the fire for your adversaries will consume them."

"O Jehovah, you will grant us peace,"

"O Jehovah our God,
other masters besides you have ruled over us,
But we make mention of your name alone."

We pray before that day to come when you will say:

"Go, my people, enter your inner rooms,
And shut your doors behind you.

Hide yourself for a brief moment
Until the wrath has passed by."

"For look! Jehovah is coming from his place
To call the inhabitants of the land to account for their error,
And the land will expose her bloodshed
And will no longer cover over her slain.”

"The righteous one will rejoice because he has seen the vengeance;

His feet will be drenched with the blood of the wicked.

Then men will say:
“Surely there is a reward for the righteous.

There is indeed a God who judges in the earth.”"

Based upon Isaiah chapter 26, also:
Those days will be days of a tribulation such as has not occurred from the beginning of the creation that God created until that time.—Mark 13:19.
We are living in what the Bible calls “the last days,” and straight ahead is a tribulation like nothing that has occurred before. (2 Tim. 3:1) Furthermore, Satan and his demons have been cast out of heaven and are confined to the vicinity of the earth, resulting in intense woe for earth’s inhabitants. (Rev. 12:9, 12) We have been commissioned to carry out a historic and unprecedented preaching campaign that is reaching peoples and language groups as never before! To keep receiving God’s blessing, we need to pay attention to all the directions provided through the Christian congregation. Having an obedient spirit now will help us to follow directions during the “great tribulation,” which will eliminate Satan’s entire evil system. (Matt. 24:21) Thereafter, we will need new directions for new world living. w16.03 4:16, 18 © 2 hours ago, Lucretia Mccloud    hope poems • love poems • pain poems • sad poems • society poems

Anew

Musicality of divine words
exhaling simple truths

graciously tendered as symphonies resplendent 
conveyed on intoxicating waves

of viable proof

enthralls those in humility drawn.
As Christ himself stated:

"No man
can come to me

unless
the Father, who sent me,
draws him"

since mankind's spirit of Satan spawns
an angry agitated black violent sea

of oblivious or indifferent
rebellious humanity

righteously hated

necessitating 

a loving just Creator's
total annihilation
of international arrogant airs

of which a vast majority of humans
tragically share.

Entrusted to meek receptive hearts 
absorbing melodic tunes of phrases

generously imparted

invoking ruminative
pensive musings

unabating till deeply
intensely rooted

bestowing seasons of growth

induced

feelings
of thankfulness
spontaneously proclaimed
after visions of beauty
awe us to exclaim:

“You are worthy,
Jehovah our God,

to receive the glory
and the honor
and the power,

because you created all things,

and because of your will
they came into existence and were created.”

He deserves
engenders our trust.

Displaying loyalty to him
in all things

a must

as joyously
we unitedly sing praises

while awaiting the finality
of wickedness' reign over everything.

But let us not forget:

"Jehovah is near
to all those calling on him,

To all who call on him in truth."
In Sincerity. In reverential fear.

So dear ones,

"Search for Jehovah
while he may be found.

Call to him while he is near."

This invitation extended for a mere
short time more around our globe.

It's ring to honest-hearted
even to those or ours dearly departed?

Crystal Clear.

For a call to all
in obedience

to adhere

whether alive
at this system's final end
or already

fallen asleep in death

God through Christ
will ensure lives of these

lovingly

Restarted.

The Almighty's Purpose:
Universal.

Anew.

Because,

"There are new heavens
and a new earth

that we are awaiting

according to his promise,

and in these

Righteousness Is To Dwell."

Psalm 145:18; Isaiah 55:6; 2 Peter  3:13; Revelation 4:11.

"With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. 4 And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”"

Revelation 21:3, 4.
"Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice 29 and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, and those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment."
