FORGIVE, REPENT, PICK UP THE BROKEN PIECES AND MOVE FORWARD
The pieces (these are all the things that are inclusive in our lives, events, moments great and small, good not so good; an enhancement, inspiration, strengthen or a discouragement, something that weakens, etc.). I could go on and on regarding all the things that are included in our life’s puzzle that were, are and will be scattered before us as we have gone alone our life’s pathway. But now is the time to decide to make heads or tails of our life: choose who we are going to serve, YHWH (GOD) or mammon (money, world, self); we cannot serve both. (Matthew 6:24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon). There are those pieces worth gathering and putting back together. Like the honest and righteous lessons, (that were meant to instruct in the art of loving one another and righteousness), learned from the trials, troubles, and tribulations along the way. But there are some that can be left out because they have served their time (a season) and purpose (to incite (provoke), some sort of action or response), and are needed no longer. So, what do we do? We must pick up those pieces worth saving, put them back together and for the ones that no longer apply, replace them with the new one that Yashuah (Jesus) has given us through His Birth, Death, and Resurrection: HIS BLOOD. (Mark 2:21-22 – 21 No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment. If he does, the new piece will pull away from the old, and a worse tear will result. 22And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. If he does, the wine will burst the skins, and both the wine and the wineskins will be ruined. Instead, new wine is poured into new wineskins.”) When Yashuah (Jesus), came He revolutionized the way we worship and are accepted in the fold of YAH; without Him we would not be able to pick up the pieces of our lives, but they would remain scattered haphazardly all over the place and we would remain eternally out of YAH’s rest. But when Yashuah (Jesus) came He was the improvement in the condition of human race and provided the way, strength and mean for us to be restored from all that has happened to us and placed on the path intended for each of us. In other word, we must consider the need for revival of our spirit, toward our family, friends and even our foes, so that we are able to aid in our restoration: yes, we must do our part, God will not do what He has asked us to do (love, show compassion, etc.). Because continuing in the manner we have been going will not help us to reach our earthly and especially our heavenly reward: we must repent with sincere hearts and trust YHWH (GOD), that He will restore all that we have lost. And as we praise and lift His name (HALLELUJAH), never be ashamed to give Him the honor and glory, so that our store house will always have plenty and our burdens He will always bear. (Joel 2:25-27 25 And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you. 26 And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the Lord your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed. 27 And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am the Lord your God, and none else: and my people shall never be ashamed).
Once we have gathered all the pieces (things in our life that is of GOD), and incorporated the new ones along the way, we must press on, together; locking arms of love and faith. Not settle in complacency, arrogance, nor ignorance but move forward toward, the target set by YAH (GOD), pathed by Yashuah, guided by the Holy Spirit, for all of us. LORD GIVE ME WISDOM TO BE ABLE TO LOVE GENUINELY. (Psalm 32:8 I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye. Philippians 4:9 Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you). GODS GOT IT NO WORRY NO FEAR.
