Some understand the cross of our Creator. Far and few but such believers are never religious people.

Still the fast majority, put off by religion's dominant voice usually, still seem to side with the crucifiers mocking and scorning Jesus' efforts. i know some even go so far that while they themselves are being crucified, they mock Him their own suffering to His face a religious icon.

While the irony in my books is that religion cried out crucify Him first and most of all, the whole O.T and N.T the same cry.

For a religious mind studies doing God's Right while dining on doing it wrong rules upon rule ruling and not the love of God as the change of our hearts. (Paul explains this in Col 2 & 3 perfectly well.) The sad story of the cross and human blindness! It is the ugly reason The Truth of All Life had to die us our blindness and our death to true down here so He could get us out of Hades (our own godforsakeness), don't you reckon?

Paul say this after explaining his reality living religion as the cause of his very wretchedness and misery. (ending Romans 7 Romans 8:(1-) 2)

Matthew 22:37

“Jesus replied: ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’” — Matthew 22:37 🙏

Biblical summary

In Matthew 22, Jesus is asked which commandment is the greatest. His answer begins with loving God completely—with our heart, soul, and mind.

This means our relationship with God is not meant to be limited to religious practices or words. We are called to give God the whole of who we are:

Heart — our desires, affections, and choices.

Jesus then connects this command with the second greatest commandment: “Love your neighbor as yourself” (Matthew 22:39). Together, these summarize the heart of God’s law: love God wholeheartedly, and let that love overflow into how we treat other people. 💚

Dear Family members greeting you our Lord''s blessing and love. i hope your day has been a blessed one. Overcoming bad life is a real challenge but He did, and with Him we have won too, it is when we let Him go it gets so bloody hard again. Isn't?

Life's short.

Life's wondrous offer to being, renders more then subjugation.

Please crucify your self-importance so you'll be a free creation.

However refining silver and purifying gold excludes the dross.

Bequeathing you no alternative but dependency on the cross.

-

God's Word ruminates food for the soul, whosoever you turnout to be.

For Christ's liberty fetches the shackled soul a combination key.

Grab hold of eternal bliss before death catches up with all the lies.

Remember life is short for those who have lost touch with paradise.

-

So I don't heed the gravediggers wallowing six foot deep in retreat.

Could death preclude us spiritually; as the Lord we'll surely meet?

Or still trusting that your demise has non-being as final victory?

I wager the whole of my existence - JESUS will be awaiting me!

The man is blessed meditating The Word,and i testify this is truly so! What you reckon dear Sisters does meditating The word bless Women as well?

The Word 1 Corinthians 13 Is Lived.

Love endures the furnace for that is how love goes.

Love bears the searing heat only the broken knows.

Love craves no seat where pride makes its demands,

It anchors in Truth the ground on which Love stands.

-

Love blows no trumpet to prove that it is right,

Love does not boast about its own eternal light.

Love heeds no master or honours displays from stone.

Love walks into the dungeons to free the ones alone.

-

Love keeps no ledger of the wrongs that have been done,

It greets the morning mercy of the rising Son.

Love has no joy when proud hearts die in their fall,

Longs to see the fallen rise and restored their all.

-

Love covers every wound that living has cruelly made,

It trusts in The Unseen, and is never once afraid.

Love’s flame of hope no tsunami can stifle in its flood,

It grows the iron in our bones through sweat and blood.

-

Love lived received the Promise our efforts will never fail,

It stands when human hopes turn to dust and lives trail

Love is the safest weapon to use in our own self-defence,

It is the solid ground and has Justice as confidence.

-

When we were children we spoke from a life lived in lies,

We saw the world through the veils of other people’s eyes.

But an eye that loves has torn the blindness of the veil apart,

For Love is the only language to be written on a hurting heart.

-

So these three remain, in the middle of the strife:

Faith breaks the prison doors, and Hope prepares the life,

But the Greatest is His Love Served as our constant aim.

The fire that burns Yes forever at the calling of His Name

For the last six months, a big part of my battle has been overcoming the loneliness forced on me. There were nights the loneliness sat in the room with me like a visitor who wouldn't leave. How do we overcome it, apart from befriending it when it hangs around? I soon realised that no Marxist thesis-and-antithesis dialectic — or any other theory — fitted my reality Down Under. Only the Cross of our dear Lord did. The Cross understands suffering and bad life, and how to overcome them, like no other reality could ever tell us.

To let God's love transform my moments, my very needs — by dying to the bad while holding onto His good in the doing. I know this makes many religious people recoil, because they eat the forbidden fruit of Right and Wrong all the time — rather than letting grace make the crooked straight: God's graceful way, the way of the Cross. So often it becomes just another division — left against right, right against left — instead of God's good, down deep, straight through it.

Many religious people offer 'do this, don't do that' solutions — priests of right and wrong — often literally forcing their perspectives down the throats of those already suffering from bad lives. Please don't misunderstand me — I have known plenty of good people of faith who get mistaken for religious people. I was one of them. The world confuses the two because it doesn't know the difference. But I have learned to see that those who have faith in Jesus are very different from those who enforce rules to make themselves godly their own way.

For Jesus taught me to understand that it is the same with fallen sinners. In His unfathomable love, He merges with the fallen ones — His grace, love, faith and hope. And we, who received His righteousness in our own deliverance Down Under, share it out from His ever-full twelve baskets of bread. The Bread — His perfectly lived Life — He simply keeps breaking, forever, for those in need.

I fully believe that all moments lived are important to God, for otherwise why would they have been? And when we suffer, it is not because our Heavenly Father ordained bad lives to hurt us. We — all of humanity, through our sinful, time-bound living — made that our collective sin, hemming us in, consuming us as true beings, rather than living the lives God ordained. So we lost our truthful being and suffered the misery of our lies. And it is there, in that trap our lies built for us, that we meet Him who died for us — to keep us in life, living a life that should never have been like this.

Instead of living truth's glory, our Godly inheritance, the truth of our lived lives became gory and untrue. We are held down by the lies that robbed us of our true identity — suffering our truth instead of celebrating Him as our life.

That is why I keep coming back to the Cross: Jesus meets me in the traps my lies lived snapped shut on me. He never rules looking down on me — He meets me, with His ability to overcome bad life, right there in my bad life, living His good life in mine. For God lifts Up the hurting His love, grace and forgiveness, and will NEVER deny those who dare trust Him to help them out.
