Dear Father God

Dear Father God,

Thank You for all Your many blessings that You have provided for us. I just wanted to express how truly grateful I have become as I meditate on how simple You have made The Way for us to follow. How easy You have made our Walk with You. How plainly You have marked The Path home to You, Father. How immense the patience and longsuffering You apply to us.

I see why You have told us to come as little children, with simple thoughts and basic needs. How You wait for us to see, that Your greatest pleasure is just to sit and fellowship in harmony with Your family.

Oh, Lord, You are so wonderful to me, You have given me forgiveness even when I did not have a clue I needed it. You, Lord, laid out a path for me to follow and kept me on it, even when I did not know there was a path.

Oh, Lord, I am truly humbled to think of all the filthy messes You have pulled me out of and how You held me close to You, stink and all, when I could not even smell the stench.

How filled with amazement I become, when I think of how, when I come into Your presence, You lay aside everything else and focus Your Love and attention on me.

Lord in Your great love You have given me the easy part, so that in nothing I come short. You have made being with You, in Your presence as effortless as closing my eyes and calling Your name. Lord, even when I get caught up in everyday distractions, and seem to wander far from the presence of You, You are still there. Waiting to give me reassurance, and to let me know that I had not wandered far, the path is still just in front of me, and You were there watching out for me the whole time.

Oh, Lord, I am truly grateful that I do not have to buy Your loving kindness. For how could I afford such a treasure. You have given everything to me and ask of me, only that I be Your loving child and rest in the fact that You alone are God and You are my Father.

Teach me Lord, for I am hungry to please you. I have one need, and only one, that I should increase in the wisdom and knowledge of who I am in You.

Help me to see You clearly as my Daddy, and to relax in Your care of me. For the knowledge that my origin and heritage is not of this world, has transformed and is continuing to transform me into a Being of Light, like You Lord. Knowing that, forever I was, forever I am, and forever I will be, part of You. That You created within me the ability to come to the Knowledge of You, oh, how wonderful You are.

Father, thank You, for the knowledge that, I do not have to understand all things, but I only have to follow You.

Your Grateful Child,

Jannean

Prov 3:5-10

Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths.

Micah 6:8

He has shown you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?

John 5:30 AMP

I am able to do nothing from myself (independently, of my own accordbut only as I am taught by God and as I get His orders). Even as I hear, I judge ( I decide as I am bidden to Decide. As the voice comes to me, so I give a decision),and my judgmentis right ( just, righteous), because I do not seek or consult my own will (I have no desire to do what is pleasing to myself, my own aim, my own purpose) but only the will and pleasure of the Father who sent me.

"Watch Your Mouth" 

The Law of Tongue

Proverbs 18:21

Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

...

Luke 6:45

A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.

...

Galatians 6:7

Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man sows, that shall he also reap.

Proverbs 15:1-2

A soft answer turns away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger. The tongue of the wise uses knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools pours out foolishness.

Proverbs 12:13-14

The wicked is snared by the transgression of his lips: but the just shall come out of trouble.

A man shall be satisfied with good

by the fruit of his mouth:

and the recompense of a man's hands

shall be rendered unto him.

Proverbs 13:2

A man shall eat good by the fruit of his mouth: but the soul of the transgressors shall eat violence.

Ecclesiastes 10:12

The words of a wise man's mouth are

gracious; but the lips of a fool will swallow up himself.

Proverbs 21:23

Whoso keeps his mouth and his tongue keeps his soul from troubles.

Proverbs 16:21-24

The wise in heart shall be called prudent: and the sweetness of the lips increases learning.

Understanding is a wellspring of life unto him that hath it: but the instruction of fools is folly.

The heart of the wise teaches his mouth, and adds learning to his lips.

Pleasant words are as an honeycomb,

sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.

Psalms 15:1-5

LORD, who may abide in Your tabernacle? Who may dwell in Your holy hill? He who walks uprightly, and works righteousness, and speaks the truth in his heart;

He who does not backbite with his tongue, nor does evil to his neighbor, nor does he take up a reproach against his friend;

In whose eyes a vile person is despised, but he honors those who fear the LORD; he who swears to his own hurt and does not change;

He who does not put out his money at usury, nor does he take a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things shall never be moved.

...

Proverbs 10:11-14

The mouth of the righteous is

a well of life, but violence covers

the mouth of the wicked.

Hatred stirs up strife,

but love covers all sins.

Wisdom is found on the lips of him

who has understanding, but a rod

is for the back of him who

is devoid of understanding.

Wise people store up knowledge, but the mouth of the foolish is near destruction.

James 3:10-13

Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be so. Does a spring send forth fresh water and bitter from the same opening?

Can a fig tree, my brethren, bear olives,

or a grapevine bear figs? Thus no spring can yield both salt water and fresh.

Who is wise and understanding among you?

Let him show by good conduct that his works are done in the meekness of wisdom.

Matt 15:10-11

When He (Jesus) had called the multitude to Himself, He said to them,

"Hear and understand: "Not what goes into the mouth defiles a man; but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man."
