DO THEY MEET=IN YOU
Today we read
About the EXTRAORDINARY RELATIONSHIP
That EXISTS
Between truth and PEACE
What outstanding people
We are-
If we speak with OBJECTIVE TRUTH
And go
Out of our way
To KEEP THE PEACE=in all circumstances
“Kindness and TRUTH shall meet=
Justice and PEACE shall kiss”
Psalm 85:11
Yes=what extraordinary people
We are=IF WE LIVE
With all of these qualities
KINDNESS AND TRUTH
JUSTICE AND PEACE
Not some self-righteous truth
NOT SOME TRUTH
That furthers
What we want=in our life
But the TRUTH OF GOD
That brings love
To all that need it
IN THIS WORLD
“I the Lord
SPEAK THE TRUTH
I declare=what is right” Isaiah
45:19
“Yet a time=is coming
And has now come
When the true worshipers
Will worship the Father
In the Spirit=AND IN TRUTH
For they are
The kind of worshipers
The Father seeks”
John
4:23
Nor do JUSTICE AND PEACE
Quickly meet
In a human being
DO THEY MEET=IN US?
Encouraging and SUPPORTING JUSTICE
Requires courage
And steady determination
We may even
HAVE to go so far
For the cause=as to GIVE OUR LIFE
For it
Do all these qualities=
MEET IN YOU?
So when justice and peace KISS
It is a remarkable relationship
Between the two
“Therefore this is what
I will to you=Israel
And because =I will do this
To you Israel=prepare
TO MEET YOUR GOD”
Amos 4:12
“After that
We who are still alive
And are left
Will be caught up together
With them
In the clouds=TO MEET
The Lord=in the air
And so we will be
With the Lord forever”
1 Thessalonians 4:17
Do ALL=of these qualities
MEET IN YOU?
Kindness=truth=justice=and peace
IF they do
Your are surely=LIVING
As a person
FILLED WITH GREAT HOPE
In Jesus’ name=and in the name==of our EVER TRUTHFUL=Holy
Father God!
