Loyalty

It's not if, but WHO... are you counting on?

Tuesday, August 10, 2021

 L    O    Y    A    L    T    Y 

   ~   D a v i d   C l u r e 

 

Today you must decide
who you  will  serve .
Will it  be  you ?   or  will
it  be  God's  Word ?

Every day  you  rise  up 
from        your    bed .
Will  it  be  your  will   or
What     JESUS   said ?

Jesus said  He  deserves
our  loyalty .
He  wants  my  All
not  just  a  part   of    me.

Jesus Christ deserves
our loyalty .
He wants our ALL,
All of Humanity!

You cannot follow two.
Who go two different ways.
Today you must decide 
who you will follow  all your days.

And I have decided
to follow Jesus.
No turning back for me.
Forever I've decided.
No turning back for me.

Eternal loyalty

OK, but...never let loyalty replace:
trust, or open-mindedness; or careful examination; or curiosity; or fairmindedness; or the power of thinking, doing, discovering; or being true to oneself. When Galileo was threatened with death for the audacity of reporting moons in orbit around Jupiter, he is reported to have said "God gave us a brain, and He expects us to use it."

I AM ENTIRELY WITH YOU DAVID. I MEAN...AFTER, BY THE GRACE AND MERCY OF GOD, PERSERVERING THROUGH THIS EARTHLY PLACE AND ALL IT'S HARDSHIPS, UPS AND DOWNS WHO IN THE WORLD WOULD WANT TO CLOSE THEIR EYES IN DEATH AND OPEN THEM TO THE FIRES OF HELL?!? I DO ADMIT THAT IT'S NOT EASY AND I KNOW I COULD NOT GO THROUGH FROM DAY TO DAY WITHOUT GOD...THUS, I HAVE DECIDED TO FOLLOW JESUS...ALL THE WAY HOME!!! I DON'T CARE WHAT IT TAKES, I'VE GOT AN ETERNAL HOME AND MY 'LOYAL' FATHER WHO HAS NEVER LET ME DOWN...HE'S WAITING FOR ME! THANKS FOR SHARING, ENJOYED IMMENSELY. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...HIS+INSPIRATIONS

Loyalty comes from royalty. The king used to demand loyalty of his subjects. With loyalty he could demand that they go to war for him and die for him, so he did not have to from his lofty position, willing to sacrifice some of his loyal serfs so that he could gain additional lands and riches. Whenever anyone asked me to be loyal to them, I always told them, No. Loyalty has because a political thing in our society. It ruins a lot of lives being loyal to the wrong thing. I find it much better to be free of loyalty and not beholden to anyone or anything.

Certainly the premise of this piece could well be undergirded with Joshua 24:15. A fine statement of faith David. Thanks for sharing.... rlc
