IT IS IN YOUR HEART!

 

 

 

 

 

 

August 16th, 2012

 

 

It IS IN YOUR HEART

 

 

Where is God’s treasure

It is in your heart

Where is God’s pleasure

It is in your heart

 

So open your heart

Just let the world see

There is no more reason to hide

God knows

What is inside

 

All the world must know

That the answer is

In each person’s heart

 

God’s treasure

Is in your heart

 

In the heart of a person

Who knows how to love

In the heart of a person

Who knows how to forgive

 

For it is only in these two things

That a person

Can really live

 

The answer to all the questions

The answer to life

The answer-the answer

The answer is

In your heart

 

The answer is in your heart

Ps        The heart is figuratively the center of person-that which

            Gives direction to a person

 

“But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance

Or his height for I have rejected him

 

The Lord does not look at the things man looks at

Man looks at the outward appearance

BUT THE LORD LOOKS AT THE HEART”                                            1 Samuel 16:7

 

“Above all-guard your HEART

For it is the wellspring of life”                                                                   Proverbs 4:23

 

“I have your word in my HEART

That I might NOT sin against you”                                                                Psalm 119:11

THE PERSISTENCE OF OUR GOD!

 

 

 

 

 

 

THE PERSISTENCE OF OUR GOD!

 

Did you ever notice

We worship

A VERY PERSISTENT GOD!

 

If he can’t get

Your attention=one way=

He will get it another

He will=Our Lord will

GET YOUR ATTENTION!

 

“I tell you=he will get up

To give him

Whatever he needs=

BECAUSE OF HIS PERSISTENCE”                                                                                           Luke 11:8

 

We think=we are the one

Who is PERSISTENT

With our God

 

But it is our God

Who is THE PERSISTENT ONE

With us

 

We think

That if we

ARE PERSISTEN ENOUGH=

Our God

Will ANSWER our prayers

 

But maybe=

We have it backwards=

Maybe it is

God our FATHER

Who is the PERSISTENT ONE

 

Maybe it is our God

Who PATIENTLY PERSEVERES

With us=and puts up

With our nonsense

 

He is the ONE

With SELFLESS LOVING

 

He is the one

Who patiently-untiringly-

Perseveringly-urges us always

To greater selfless loving

THE PERSISTENCE OF OUR GOD!

 

“To those=

Who by PERSISTENCE

In doing good

 

Seek glory-honor-

And immortality=

He will give eternal life”                                                                                                        Romans 2:7

 

Sometimes=if God gets on us=

In our life=he is

Just trying

To get YOUR ATTENTION

 

IF he can’t do it

One way=

He will do it another=

Our God

IS A PERSISTING GOD

He persists to love you

TO LOVE US!=he perseveres

 

“Therefore since we

Are surrounded

By such

A great cloud of witnesses

 

Let us throw off everything

That hinders=and the sin

That so easily entangles

 

And let us run

WITH PERSEVERANCE-

The race marked out for us”                                                                                                       Hebrews 12:1

 

The PERSEVERANCE of our God

And his PLAN for you=and your life

Will take time=

But it will occur

HE WILL get your attention!

 

He loves you

And wants the BEST

For you=

OUR PERSEVERING GOD

Will win out

 

In Jesus’ name=and in the name=of our ever loving=EVER PERSEVERING

God the HOLY FATHER!

THE ASSUMPTION

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

THE ASSUMPTION

 

 

The Assumption

Of the BLESSED VIRGIN MARY

Is the principal feast
of churches

Dedicated to Mary

Without any further title

 

GOD NEEEDED MARY

To fulfill his plan for salvation

And Mary

IS the flesh and blood of Jesus

THE HOLY ONE

That the Lord

Would not allow to see corruption

 

The ASSUMTION

Refers to Mary’s

BEING ASSUMED both body and soul

To heavenly glory-

 

SHE DID NOT DIE

 

On November 1st, 1950

Pope Pius XIIth

Solemnly proclaimed it

As a DIVINELY REVEALED truth

 

“That the IMMACULATE MOTHER OF GOD

The ever-virgin Mary

On the completion of her earthly life

Was assumed

Body and soul into heaven”

 

By the Vth century

August 15th was kept at Jerusalem

As the commemoration

Of the Assumption

Of the BLESSED Virgin Mary

 

In determining

That the Assumption of Mary

Become DOGMA in faith

And with pressure

From every diocese in the world

 

Pope Pius XIIth

Asked two questions:

 

  1. Do you judge

That the bodily assumption

Of the BLESSED VIRGIN MARY

Can be proposed and defined

AS A DOGMA OF FAITH?

 

  1. Do you

And your clergy and people

Desire it

 

The answer to both questions

Were a resounding yes

 

And then

We have the Coronation

Of Mary in Revelation 12:1

 

“A GREAT and wondrous sign

APPEARED in heaven:

 

A woman clothed with the sun

With the moon

Under her feet

And a crown of twelve stars

On her head”

 

Mary is so closely

Associated with the mysteries

Of Jesus’ life

From birth

To the first miracle-

The wedding feast at Cana

And being present

At the crucifixion

 

That it is not surprising

That the Holy Spirit

Has led the Church

TO BELIEF

In Mary’s share

In his glorification

 

She was SO CLOSE

To Jesus on earth

That she must be with him

BOTH BODYAND SOUL

IN HEAVEN

 

HENCE THE ASSUMPTION

A TREMENDOUS WILL TO LIVE

 

 

 

 

 

 

AUGUST 15th, 2012

 

 

A TREMENDOUS WILL TO LIVE

 

 

Once upon a time

I saw a gastroenterologist

In Palm Beach Gardens, Florida

 

My stomach was blown out

To about 45 inches

Like it gets sometimes

These days-almost all of the time

 

I was in tremendous pain

And he asked about all my operations

And my medical history

He said,

 

“You must have a tremendous will to live”

 

That I do

Because every time

That I want to quit

Every time

That I want to give up

 

I remind myself

Of all those years ago

And what I said,

 

“I don’t think God

Wants me to die

But if he does

There must be a reason

 

And if I do die

To please bless my father, my mother,

Terri and Mary, my friends, and my work

Because it would be harder on them

Than it would be on me

I would be gone

 

But if God wants me to live

I would live for my family, my friends

And all people everywhere”

 

I woke up two weeks later alive

 

I see my job

As keeping my word to God

And bringing as much love to others

As humanly possible

Ps        “For it is time for judgment to begin

             With the family of God

             What WILL the outcome be

             For those who do NOT obey

             The GOSPEL OF GOD”                                                                1 Peter 4:17

 

             “My food,” said Jesus

              “Is to do the WILL of him who sent me

              “And to finish his work”                                                             John 4:34

 

              “Do not conform any longer

               To the pattern of this world

               But be transformed by the renewing of the mind

              

               Then you will be able test and approve

               What God’s WILL is

                His good, pleasing, AND PERFECT WILL”                              Romans 12:2

 

Today is the feast of the ASSUMPTION

 

 

 

 

A LOOK AT MARY'S LIFE=ON THE FEAST OF THE ASSUMPTION

 

 

 

 

 

 

A LOOK AT MARY’S LIFE=

(ON THE FEAST OF=THE ASSUMPTION)

 

Today we CELEBRATE=The feast of=THE ASSUMTION OF MARY=who was ASSUMED=

Both body and soul=Into HEAVEN=By the Holy Father God!=”The WOMAN herself  Fled=

Into the desert=Where she had a PLACE prepared by GOD”                                                 Revelation 12:6

Our MARY=is the SINLESS=Mother of God=Who GAZED upon the FACE=of the CHRIST

CHILD=She is the Woman=Who ALONG with Joseph=Who fled to EGYPT=When King

Herod=Was out to KILL the Holy Family=and JESUS

 

With a MOTHER’S ANIETY=She found Jesus IN THE TEMPLE=When he was missing=and

RAISED her Son Jesus=During those quiet UNPROTECTED YEARS=as she Protected him=

While the HOLY FATHER God=Protected the HOLY FAMILY

“You are my HIDING place=You will  PROTECT ME=from trouble=and surround me=With songs

Of deliverance”                                                                                                                                         Psalm 32:7

“Discretion will PROTECT YOU=and Understanding will guard you”                            Proverbs 2:11

“I will=Remain in the world=No longer=But they are still=IN the world=and I am coming

To you=Holy Father=PROTECT THEM=By the power of=Your name=The name you gave me=So

That they may be One=AS WE ARE ONE”                                                                                     John 17:11

 

And then Jesus GREW=Into adulthood and ENTERED into=His public ministry=Mary was an

INTEGRAL PART=of that and HIS FIRST MIRACLE=as she ENCOURAGED him=To PROVIDE the wine=

For the WEEDDING AT CANA=and then=When his TIME CAME=at hand=She MET HIM=on the way=

TO THE CROSS=and she STOOD BY him=at the CROSS and crucifixion=With ALL the other women=

Ant the apostle John=Oh how she SUPPORTED HIM=Oh how she LOVED him=Oh how=

She TREASURED HIM!=her one and ONLY SON=A LOOK AT MARY’S LIFE=She supported him

To the end=and ENCOURAGED HIM

 

“May his name=ENDURE FOREVER=May it continue=as long as the sun=Then all nations=Will

Be Blessed=Through him=and they will call him Blessed”                                                            Psalm 72:17

“I know that=Everything God does=WILL ENDURE FOREVER=Nothing can be added to it=and

Nothing taken away from it=God does it=so that people=Will fear him”                                Ezekiel 3:14

“IF WE ENDURE=We will also reign with him=If we disown him=He will also disown

Us”                                                                                                                                                                 2 Timothy 2;12

 

And so today=ON this feast of THE ASSUMTION=We must Think of WHAT A WELCOME=It  was

For Mary=That she RECEIVED from Jesus=Joseph=and the HOLY FATHER GOD=as well as ALL

The Angels and saints=When she ENTERED into Heaven=and became the QUEEN OF HEAVEN!

“Therefore whoever=Takes this lowly position=Of this child=Is  the Greatest in=THE KINGDOM

Of Heaven=And whoever=WELCOMES one such child=

In my name WELCOMES ME”                                                                                                               Matthew 18:5

 

As a MOTHER=Mary WELOMES US=With Jesus and Joseph=and The Holy Father God=and

They PREPARE a place for us=IN HEAVEN=when and if we get there=TODAY=we take a SHORT LOOK

At Mary’s life=on the FEAST OF THE ASSUMPTION=and CELEBRATE her=as Jesus’ MOTHER=The

Woman who gave him=HIS PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS=We love you Mary=We CELEBRATE

You and we ask=That you PRAY for us=Until the day=YOU WELCOME US=Into

OUR ETERNAL HOME!

We HONOR YOU TODAY=Mary=OUR QUEEN OF HEAVEN!

 

In  Jesus’ name=and in the name of OUR FOREVER LIVING AND LOVING=HOLY FATHER GOD!

             And he will rescue us from your hand”                         Daniel 3:17

MARRIED TO THE CHURCH

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

WITNESS

MARRIED TO THE CHURCH

 

 

Growing up

AS a young man in Pittsburgh, Pa.

ALL I ever thought of

As I got older

Was going to college

Meeting a woman

That I very much loved

And raising a family

 

In other words-like many of us

I wanted to-pursue THE AMERICAN DREAM

 

Then came my 22nd birthday

My first deathbed experience

And my promise to GOD:

 

“To live for my family

My friends

And ALL people everywhere”

 

About 2005 or 2006

I finally began to realize

That God had a different plan for me

Than I had for myself

A different plan for me

Than he had for most others

 

Like Jesus

I was to be committed

To God and the CHURCH

 

SO I FOLLOW CHRIST

AS MOST ALL of us do

As he is the Head of the Church

 

“For the husband

Is the head of the wife

As Christ is the head of the church

His body

Of which he is the Savior”                                                      Ephesians 5:23

 

“After all

No one ever hated his own body

But he feeds and cares for it

Just as Christ does the church-

For we are members of his body

 

‘For this reason

A man will leave

His father and mother

And be united to his wife

And the two

Will become one flesh’

 

This is a profound mystery

But I am talking about Christ and the church”                                Ephesians 5:32

 

So I believe I have

A different calling than you

Not better or worse-just different

 

I have a friend

I call her “Maggie”

And she is my sister in Christ

And my soul mate (a purely platonic relationship)

 

She says that she believes

That I was

Never meant to share my life

With just one woman

Because I can reach SO MANY

 

So Christ

Was married to the church

And he had Mary Magdalene

 

Following in his footsteps

In my own “little” way

I have my friend Maggie

 

I BELIEVE

The church to BE a FAMILY

And I believe in FAMILY UNITY

Both in the church

AND IN FAMILIES

 

UNITY IS SO PRECIOUS

 

I just don’t understand

HOW THE CHURCH

HAS BROKEN into so many pieces

As I don’t understand

HOW families break apart

 

Well-FOR what it is

I WILL REMAIN

Married to the church

And to my own PRECIOUS FAMILY

 

And most importantly

I will remain-COMMITTED to my promise

And married to God

And PRAY that God

Will make something

Out of my life and yours

 

For we are all

“PRECIOUS IN THE SIGHT OF THE LORD”                        Psalm 116:15

 

Robert P. Wallman

Ps        Maggie has been my friend since 2006

            She has attended five different churches with me

            -Four different denominations

 

            She CONTINUES to be my BF

 

 

WITNESS        5-27-13

 

misc.         WITNESS         2-9-14

10-4-15=I don't hear from Maggie much anymore-BUT I thank God for ALL the many women-and the churches WHOM have become a part of my LIFE

 

GOD has a PLAN for your life and for mine-and GOD CAN make something fantastic-out of a life that otherwise would be nothing-JUST GIVE HIN THE CHANCE=

 

I LOVE YOU LORD!
