Chapter 23
Life needs truth to continue
Time is getting closer and closer for their new baby to be
born. They have been praying for it even before the birth. They
want their baby to be given to the Lord as a love offering to him
for what he has done and they ask him to help them to raise their
baby in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. So that they can
implant the truth within him at an early age that the fear of the
Lord is the beginning of knowledge. That fear is a revential,
holy fear that should come across to anyone that would dare sin
against a holy, all-powerful, pure God. They know that his
character is so much to do with love that he is called love but
they also understand that his love without his justice isn't
worth talking about. That is like so many Christians today that
are fellowshipping with the unfruitful works of darkness and
calling it love, unity which is a joke. They know that unity
without truth is stupidity. To pretend that divisions in
doctrine aren't important is the height of ignorance. They know
that they cannot fellowship with those who are in darkness such
as the Roman Catholics, the Mormons, the Jehovah's Witnesses,
those who are caught up in the cults. They have a different
Jesus, a different plan of salvation, a different bible, on and
on it goes. If the foundation is wrong there can be no true
unity. It will be plastic, artificial and it will be seen for
what it is in time.
Joe and Cindy are seeing clearer and clearer as the days,
weeks, and months go back just how much their heavenly Father
loves them. Cindy felt the baby kick within her and her mind
goes to John the Baptist leaping for joy when he was in his
mother's womb at the time that he was in the presence of the
woman who was bearing Jesus, his Lord. Cindy says, "Joe, do you
think my baby is getting into our worship with us?" Joe looks
towards Cindy and says, "Jesus said, 'Suffer little children, and
forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of
heaven,'" as far as she knew, he was totally serious. He then
said, "You know, honey! Children can see God in the things
around us easier than most adults can. As time passes and people
mature, they seem to harden their hearts to the truth that it
evident all around them such as the things we see in nature, the
heavens, water, etc. The seed is such a simple looking thing and
how many things have the scientists created out of nothing as God did?
They only get the seed from the tree or the animal, or whatever
produces the seed.
It is like the question that has been put forth that is supposedly deep,
'Which came first the chicken or the egg?' That would be a tough one
if you believed in evolution and since they don't have answers on anything
else, they do not have answers to that question but as a Christian, we
know that God created all animals, man, etc. in a full grown state at the
beginning and then they reproduced. Honey, think about it, the
Creator of life actually allowed us to play a part in his
creative acts, to be co-creators with him, so to speak. He has
given us the capability to have offspring, children that are a
part of us. That is cool and so many are seeking to keep the
gifts of God out of their lives by birth control, abortion, and
other methods. What a sick joke and a slap in the face of God."
Cindy looks down at her stomach area. "Joe, I will never forget
how close I came to having my own baby killed and how the Lord
worked it out when he saw my repentance and how he miraculously
delivered me and he didn't owe me anything. I praise him over
and over for that Joe and I will praise him for all eternity for
delivering me from the very jaws of death for eternity. He
delivered me, bought me with his very own blood. The blood of
God! Can you comprehend that Joe? God who is a Spirit and is
everywhere present actually came in human flesh to save mankind, the highest creatures within his
creation! Joe, can you imagine the love that he has for us? Can
you imagine it to much of a degree, Joe! My brain seems like it
wants to crack when I dwell on it very long. My finite mind
cannot comprehend such an infinite act of love. Joe, I feel
faint just talking about it. It is too much for me, Joe, too
much!" Joe walks over to Cindy and puts his arms around her. "I
know what you mean Cindy! I know what you mean."
Joe's mind goes back to Clyde. Clyde told me once, "Joe, the Almighty
God of the bible, the one who created this universe tells me in his most
holy word, 'Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have
entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared
for them that love him. But God hath revealed them unto us by his
Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things
of God.' Joe, the more that he reveals to me the things that he
is putting within my spirit as I meditate on him, his word, his
very life within mine, the more that I want to go be with him. He
is everything to me, Joe. I am not satisfied with just tasting
and seeing that the Lord is good. I want a full meal. Jesus is
the bread of life and the more I feed, the more I want of him.
Joe, I will be with him soon but not soon enough.'" Joe's eyes
are watering, "Cindy, Clyde is with the Lord now and 'the not soon
enough' is gone from his memory. He is in the very presence of
the one who gave his life so that he could live and gave his life
for us too Cindy, so we can live! He is the all together lovely
one!" Silence then took hold of both of them and they entered in
together but separately into the throne room of the Almighty God.
A place where they were feeling more and more comfortable in as
time went on.
