Am I Rightfully Concerned With The Push For That Elusive Worldly Happiness?
Happiness. Success. Positive think. Fun. Food. Drink. What else on the brink? Love of money including greed, avarice, lust, and craving for earthly possessions. Ah! But that is not for me!
- I am A-OKAY—a pastor, a faithful follower, a widow and orphan helper, a???
- Me? A sinful one. So it is written. So I been convicted.
- Happiness pursuit? My thorn in the side, why?
- Why not? Am not a human being?
- Happiness pursuit? Is it not the human’s quest?
- No need to explain the rest.
- It is clearly written.
A Pastor, A Faithful Follower, A Widow And Orphan Helper, A??? Humm! …
Quote:
Matthew 7:21-23
Not everyone who says to Me, Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father Who is in heaven.
Many will say to Me on that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name and driven out demons in Your name and done many mighty works in Your name?
And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Romans 3:9-18
Well then, are we [Jews] superior and better off than they? No, not at all. We have already charged that all men, both Jews and Greeks (Gentiles), are under sin [held down by and subject to its power and control].
As it is written, None is righteous, just and truthful and upright and conscientious, no, not one. [Psa_14:3]
No one understands [no one intelligently discerns or comprehends]; no one seeks out God. [Psa_14:2]
All have turned aside; together they have gone wrong and have become unprofitable and worthless; no one does right, not even one!
Their throat is a yawning grave; they use their tongues to deceive (to mislead and to deal treacherously). The venom of asps is beneath their lips. [Psa_5:9; Psa_140:3]
Their mouth is full of cursing and bitterness. [Psa_10:7]
Their feet are swift to shed blood.
Destruction [as it dashes them to pieces] and misery mark their ways.
And they have no experience of the way of peace [they know nothing about peace, for a peaceful way they do not even recognize]. [Isa_59:7-8]
There is no [reverential] fear of God before their eyes. [Psa_36:1] End of quote.

A sinful creature apart from You. Well? What’s the deal? You created me in Your image. It is now Tuesday, January 5, 2021 at 10:53 pm. What happened?
- O but what a redundant question. We all know what happened, but!

You had to run the risk of giving me a free will to choose life or death. I chose death. Behold the birth of my human nature.
Death! Not A Trace Of Life As Life Is Meant To Be …
My choice apart from You. Ah! But the time came for You to lift Yourself up and be gracious to me.
Ha! You Saw Me! My Winter Stead Had Bolt Me Down The Chilling Ground …
There I sat. Alone. Out of my wit. Out of my pluck. I was stuck! And You? You were earnestly waiting, expecting, looking, and longing to be gracious to me. Quote:
…. and therefore He lifts Himself up, that He may have mercy on you and show loving-kindness to you. For the Master is a Mighty One of justice. Blessed, happy, fortunate, to be envied are all those who earnestly wait for Him, who expect and look and long for Him, for His victory, His favor, His love, His peace, His joy, and His matchless, unbroken companionship! Isaiah 30:18. End of quote
