Long-necked giraffes get a free massage
God's gracious love and man's unique opportunity to hunger and thirst for salvation intersect in Jesus Christ. Will anyone rise to the challenge and squeeze holy Scripture reading and studying into their crooked lives?
Like a swarm of bees in search of nectar egoistical showmen and women stretch their covetous necks and avaricious eyes from one impure act to another.
Craving attention from mankind they show themselves to be hungry to show off how reckless and uninhibited they have become. The challenge stands before us all to remember that men and women and children with low morals must be gently but firmly confronted.
Giraffes wearing trousers or skirts that gravitate to unnatural acts still have the blissful opportunity to bow their heads to the loving God of heaven and earth!
Giraffes with extra long necks who repent will one day bow their heads willingly before the sovereign loving Lord of life! Truly hope for anyone practicing unclean acts is found in the pursuit of holiness.
Challenges help us to thrive. It is healthy to volunteer for great physical, mental and emotional challenges. During our life challenges pile up. This is true for shepherds like me and everyone else. Challenges benefit us best when we ask for them and prepare for them. All through our lives we do wisely by endeavoring to improve the quality of our relationships: be they at home, school, at work or most importantly with God our Creator.
We are all born into this life to accept challenges. Those who practice unclean acts would do well to accept the challenge to flee from unclean acts. Everyone is challenged to hunger and thirst spiritually, in order for God to reveal to them that He is living and lovingly unique.
Leviticus 18: 22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is an abomination.
Romans 1: 27-28 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature. And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of women, burned in their lust one toward the other; men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves the recompense of their error which was meet.
God triune is wonderfully unique! He is Our sole Creator and Sustainer. He loves to challenge us to higher and higher standards of speech and behavior. He created all those who are currently indulging in unnatural sexual acts. His hearts' desire is that they set their hearts to flee from iniquity. Let all participators in unclean acts repent and turn to Jesus Christ who is God.
Let us not nonchalantly brush aside opportunities to challenge men and women practicing unnatural sexual acts to change! Let us not close our eyes to the unclean acts also perpetrated by men and women who are married. Let us speak up against these shameful often violent practices. Let us remember fellow Christians that although our face is not always joyous our message is joy-bringing. Our witness is not idle gossip.
Sinful man needs our help spiritually as much as we need their help financially. They need to know that God hates what they do and commands them to stop doing it. Don't fly off into your own orbit of semi-rage if they don't respond outwardly impressed with your words of comfort. Be annoyed if you must, but listen attentively to their words in order to better help them.
Remember, fellow brethren, that God Our miracle worker can and will help us. Let us not calmly survey the "lost and lonely" from lofty vantage points, but rather start flapping at the thought of being obedient to the future opportunities that God is preparing for us in His great harvest work. Anyone who is not living cleanly can not only be helped but be cured by coming to Jesus Christ. Because their challenges are very serious we too must give them access to the warmth of our wisdom that we have received from Jesus Christ.
Giraffes of this world running around on roller blades playing Russian roulette with your body soul and spirit do you not realize that Your Lord God requests that you come out of hiding?
Don't trust anymore in your own version of pleasure. Your true identity and destiny are found in the unique beauty of God's gift of grace, Jesus Christ. Be wise and seek the pure way of Christ who endorses singleness and marriage between man and woman. It is a challenge to cherish.
Be encouraged future lovers of Jesus Christ; for even giraffes with glandular fever have grounds for optimism as the Lord Jesus Christ owns a spiritual cleansing vacuum cleaner and knows how to use it wisely! Come unto Your Maker and Creator; for every human heart needs to feed eagerly from His fresh food of faith and be purified unto salvation.
Call out courageously and with confidence in Him: "Vacuum me clean, Lord Jesus, with your vacuum cleaner. I'm ready to come home to your home of holiness now." Your neck will shrink and you wont look own on shepherds of small stature like me any more.
After all, where is the pleasure in living with such a long neck breathing in the clouds of confusion that wrong decision making have stirred up. Immeasurably beautiful Giver of all gifts, eternal God, help us all to hallow Thy Name by rightly lifting up Jesus' Name above all names; for He is God eternal, co-equal in glory with God the Father and God the Holy Spirit. Let all study studiously and pray powerfully. Seekers of God's unique perfume and eternal salvation acknowledge day by day that you need Pure-hearted God and His loving shepherd heart to deliver you out of the jaws of certain death; for only Jesus Christ can chase away crocodiles walking up and down the cold corridors of fallen man's conscience.
