IN THE PAIN OF YOUR LOVE

Quote from Pia Mellody~~"Since wisdom and maturity come from facing pain and learning from it, I believe we are a nation of very immature people who don't have the willingness to experience the pain that leads to authentic wisdom. We haven't learned how to tolerate pain and deal with it as an agent of positive change."

Psalm 36:9~~
For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light.

IN THE PAIN OF YOUR LOVE~~

Only in Your light do I see light
So may I be at one with your heart
As I view others who do not yet have Your light.

And may I ever choose to suffer with you~~this pain of love...
Ready to understand and show compassion,
Be real and yet kind, in your timing...
Only as I draw from your life~~in which is all I need.

Any other way will only prove to be empty~~
Void of true life and true love with all it's pain and sufferings.

The ever positive changes continue on
As we share in Your tears and heartbreak
For others who are in darkness
And face the pain of this love~~

Growing in spirit as we experience You
And show others this pain~~
That they may see Your Light.

THE BURDEN OF THE LORD

Burdens of the Lord~Inspirational Message~5/31/11

What are the Burdens of the Lord?  The Burden, the Burden, the Burden of the Lord.  It is deep, it is real, it is righteous indignation.  It is sorrowful and it is suffering and it is painful. 

But who of you are willing to take up the Burden of the Lord?  Not the many, for the many are entrenched in their own burdens, their own interests, their own complaints, rather than see what the Lord sees.  He sees all and shares with His own, but the many reject and refuse His heart's Burdens~the Burdens of the lost who are damned for all eternity, the Burdens of the truth~speaking and writing the truth, the Burden of dispensing Christ in truth, the Burden of persecution, the Burden of warning others loudly and clearly of their impending doom. 

For sure, most will not hear, but still, take up the Burdens of the Lord's heart and He will smile upon you with His smile of approval.  We were made for His good pleasure and not for the pleasure of man.

Take up the Burden and you will be one with your Lord!  Trust Him for all the consequences and the persecution.  You will be hiding in Him in the heavenlies.  To be at one with Jesus Christ, you must be willing to take up and share His Burdens of great love and mercy, yes, but also to be warning others of their blindness and deafness, their own straining in life without Him, their merry-go-rounds of life.  Speak up, warn, write, live and act as though you truly are carrying the Burden of the Lord!

Isaiah 13:1-13--The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz did see.
²Lift ye up a banner upon the high mountain, exalt the voice unto them, shake the hand, that they may go into the gates of the nobles.
³I have commanded my sanctified ones, I have also called my mighty ones for mine anger, even them that rejoice in my highness.
⁴The noise of a multitude in the mountains, like as of a great people; a tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations gathered together: the LORD of hosts mustereth the host of the battle.
⁵They come from a far country, from the end of heaven, even the LORD, and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole land.
⁶Howl ye; for the day of the LORD is at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty.
⁷Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every man's heart shall melt:
⁸And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a woman that travaileth: they shall be amazed one at another; their faces shall be as flames.
⁹Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it.
¹⁰For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.
¹¹And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.
¹²I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir.
¹³Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger.

Isaiah 30:27-30--Behold, the name of the LORD cometh from far, burning with his anger, and the burden thereof is heavy: his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue as a devouring fire:
²⁸And his breath, as an overflowing stream, shall reach to the midst of the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of vanity: and there shall be a bridle in the jaws of the people, causing them to err.
²⁹Ye shall have a song, as in the night when a holy solemnity is kept; and gladness of heart, as when one goeth with a pipe to come into the mountain of the LORD, to the mighty One of Israel.
³⁰And the LORD shall cause his glorious voice to be heard, and shall shew the lighting down of his arm, with the indignation of his anger, and with the flame of a devouring fire, with scattering, and tempest, and hailstones.

TRUTH BY SUFFERINGS

While I was seeking the Lord for truth, I saw the word “truth” in blood. The word “truth” was also dripping from the blood. I waited and as I thought on this vision and the meaning of it, the Holy Spirit made me to understand that the truth Jesus came to give us was bought with His Life Blood and Sufferings. We too, must come thru sufferings and trials and sorrows to come to a knowledge of the truth. Only as we receive Jesus’ pure words of truth can we then feed others. We receive the truth which is as sweet as honey and then when we eat it we taste the bitter taste with our sufferings.

Revelation 10:9-10–And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey.  And I took the little book out of the angel’s hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.
