Father's Day My Inspirations of Year's past to present

Happy Father's Day to All Father's in this world! I just would like to think about the Father and it's meaning to whom happens to read this and in it is my own personal thoughts of long ago and how I often times have wished for a Father whom would be and could fit the nature of a Father in my growing up as a child and through my years in growing up and sharing all of which other households had in having a Father that loved them, nutured with compassion, love,honored, that has been given Godly instructions in a personal covenant binding that's steadfast, very strong that which is loyal to one another, knew justice and had high regard for one another building deep personal relationships in those valuable traditions that have taught me in those foundation of what they had in a child's life in teachings of what life is all about as they had been taught from years past in a family's life. In a family that knew those strong commitments of God's values that were regulated in taking on roles of what ought to have been displyed in growing up in the home by what had been rooted in grounded in God as our primary care takers in a child's life. In showing in a parents own life of God's purposes in building a child in having a christ like love as each individual that displays it in one's own life based upon showing themselves voluntarily and sacifically to one another in being a servant that is based equally being mutal that's guided by love that's is totally commitmented. grounded in obedience in faith in Jesus Christ as they both did the will of the Father in their lives. But to say the least it never ever happened that way at all. It was completely the opposite and often time it was very brutal and hurtful that had came with it like being in a war which displayed being in some kind of a concentration concept of which that has been in which was had been alot of coercion of such that had been influtrated such a road which had collapsed in a persons life that had tons of rubble all around it and had a very hard way of finding a clear passage way out of it, and seemed doomed to die right then and there. Clouds formed all around them and it was very dark and musty breathing such a foul smell in that air whith No kind of place for clean air to be found at all. A person couldn't yell for help at all they had been burried very deeply in the ground. That's just how it seeemed to this child at the time, Oh, Yes they had wanted to but to No avil. Then one day the time came when they had been found and they was lifted up and out of that whole situation in being released. Then they had years of help in the sechular society in which they walked in finding one's own truths in life and had ups & downs that showed them such very bumpy hills and valleys in a persons own life but yet had alot of regrets along the way. Some had some very bad habits which was guided by hang-ups, that was hurtful not only to other's but themselves that is very clouded and so very dark that often times thought it was that right road to take but had found out it was the wrong one as they stumbled through life in a journey that seemed like an endless one to take at times. But as they had taken such steps one day found a very secure one that seemed so right to them as a person. It seem to take a very long road that never ended in a life that needed a change in order to see a light at the end of a long, long tunnel that often times seemed to them like nothing was ever going to change and often times wondered when it was going to happen for the person. It had been such a process like will is it going to be there turn to be fully alive and to have such a freedom in ones life, and how do they do it, what's it going to take just to see a glimps of that truth to where they could walk on through it and to celebrate it at it end. I know someone out in this world has felt just like me. I couldn't tell anyone about those deep feelings they would hate me if they knew the real me, but where am I ? What do I truly look like? How does real love feel like? Whom is gonna help me to know that meaning of just what the word really means and how does a person act like when given in a way that don't hurt or has been so broken, trannized and very uncertain of whom to trust to help them find a way out of what had been shown to them in ways of which is unthinkable to any person alive to walk through it in finding such peace that's fullfilling in a persons life. I know that I'am such a bad, hurful, that's been torn to shreds that I'm like a animal at times that just watches and waiting in a deep woods that prowls in finding someone whom hurts other's before they hurt me. That just how a person thinks when they have been damaged goods that No one would want nothing to do with them in this life. That's how far down life had taken them in one's own mind. Oh, they have had different mask while in front of people whom shinned like a star out in public were ever they had gone to do shows in different areas of the map. But yet they had No worth, values, in the persons own life they just seemed to go right along in life. Yet had been in trouble different times in life by being locked up in different instutions, jails, nuthuts after a period of different times in a persons own life. But some how it's got to change and No matter long it takes that is just what I'm going to do! That's what I've got to do and I don't care how it takes for me to do it! I'm sick n tired of being this way! This is not what I want in my own life This is what a person neds to do in oder to come alive in life and to seek out people on blind trust in order to get a hold of people whom will help them find themselves. There is a saying that one adapts to in seeing some things in oder to follow it through and it goes like this:" I've never met a person whom has given me as much trouble as I've given myself... until I met Jesus Christ that has helped me to change and grow in Him on a daily basis. " Yes I've been down some very troubled paths but what that path had shown me was like being in hell's door but He pulled me out of there in the nick of time. I'm now a child of God and a suvivor of of all that Jesus Christ has pulled me through it all with Him He shows me all things in my own life daily and He never ever lets me go. I'm the one whom steps away from Him and when that happens I'm a misfit until I run right back in His arms by His showing how to deal with of those tragedy with those bound up trauma's that I had experiences that had prolonged my sufferings that occured in my own life and with those people all around me during those years and brought it up to the surface that's had been in the family history and old memories that had haunted me what they had done was brought up inside of me to cause my emotions that had to be dealt with with a christian counsellor in me cooperating with Jesus Christ in my own healing process. The main thing to keep in mind is that...

GOD ALLOWED THIS TO HAPPEN,
HE LIMITS THE PAIN,
THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE IS FOR YOUR BENEFIT
HIS GOAL IS TO MAKE YOU MORE LIKE CHRIST
His reasons only He really knows. If we can focus in
this perspective, it will help us to keep from
despairing, as if the world is out of control and we
are all helpless victims waiting for the ship to sink.

(James 1:12 KJV)
Blessed is the man that endureth temptation:
for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of
life,
which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.

(1 Pet 5:6-11 KJV)
Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of
God,
that he may exalt you in due time:
{7} Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for
you.
{8} Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the
devil,
as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may
devour:
{9} Whom resist stedfast in the faith,
knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in
your brethren that are in the world.
{10} But the God of all grace,
who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ
Jesus,
after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect,
stablish, strengthen, settle you.
{11} To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever.
Amen.






So let's take a look at some things to keep in mind
when we are faced with an otherwise overwhelming
tragedy.

GOD ALLOWED THIS TO HAPPEN

For some scriptural insight on this matter, we can
investigate what happened in the life of Job. If you
look in the first chapter of Job, God is bragging on
Job before all the assembled "sons of God" including
Satan, who apparently gets to sit in on these
meetings....

(Job 1:8 KJV)
And the LORD said unto Satan,
Hast thou considered my servant Job,
that there is none like him in the earth,
a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God,
and escheweth[H= withdraws from] evil?

At this point, Satan begins to bring hypothetical
accusations against Job, and desires to have evil
things happen to Him, so that Job's character will be
defaced. Notice here, that God, in His wisdom and for
His Own Purposes, allows Satan to do certain of these
things to Job that he desired to do. Among the
possible reasons God allows these things to happen to
Job are to verify Job's character, help Job to deepen
his faith, to force him to reconsider his priorities
of life, and to help Job to know God in a personal way
instead of just a shallow or religious way.

But even though God allows these things into Job's
life to test him, The Lord sets limits on Satan as to
how far he can go to bring evil into Job's life. It is
here that we may replace our own name in the story of
Job. For as bad as it may seem at first, it is the
ultimate character and the presence of Christ in each
one of us, that is being "verifed" by tragedies and
times of suffering. As Paul has written,

(1 Cor 10:13 KJV)
There hath no temptation[Grk= adversity, testing] taken
you but such as is common to man:
but God is faithful,
who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye
are able;
but will with the temptation also make a way to
escape,
that ye may be able to bear it.

And so we must understand that things that happen to
us don't happen in a vacuum, in an an out-of-control
universe, willy-nilly, completely by accident,
unsupervised, with no-one to care or stop them...

GOD IS ALWAYS IN CONTROL!!!

WE MUST ALWAYS SEE THE LARGER PICTURE
We may not like what is happening, it may be hurtful,
harmful, traumatic, disgusting, tragic,
destructive. ..all these things and more, but God
always puts a limit on them, and has a purpose for
allowing them to happen. And that purpose always is
that ultimately as we go through the trauma and learn
how to deal with it, we will come out the other side
stronger and more Christ-like, having a new desire for
purity and Godliness, and having new equipment to
minister to the needs of others who are going through
the same problems.

(2 Cor 1:3-5 KJV)
Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus
Christ,
the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort;
{4} Who comforteth us in all our tribulation,
that we may be able to comfort them which are in any
trouble,
by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of
God.
{5} For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us,
so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ.

WE ARE REQUIRED TO ENDURE IT
Let me emphasize for a moment, a phrase in the
previous verse:

v{4} Who comforteth us IN all our tribulation,

Unfortunately, as with any traumatic experience, we
have to go through it. Since it is God's will that
allowed this to happen to us in the first place, and
God designed and limited the testing for His own
purposes, we have to experience it and to feel the
pain, to have our lives and our minds scrambled... we
have to cry, pray, ask why, get angry, feel abused,
feel confused, experience loss and lostness...lose
sleep, feel like the heavens are as brass, mistakenly
feel that God has abandoned us or doesn't care about
us, or that we could have done more, or "if only I had
done such and such", or "I am inadequate", and a
million possible other feelings and terrors might go
through our minds during times like this. And all this
with the ultimate goal that we will be purified like
gold is purified, in the fires that will burn away
that which is impure and meaningless, so that the
brightness of Christ will glisten in us that much more
brightly.

Job 23:10 (KJV)
But God knoweth the way that I take:
when he hath tried me,
I shall come forth as gold.

It is this harsh refining process that ultimately
creates new riches in our lives, by tearing away the
veneer of human self-confidence, worldliness, pride,
secret unconfessed sins, arrogance, complacency,
misdirected life-goals, materialism, all of which our
flesh enjoys. These habits and attitudes tend to
accumulate secretly and un-noticed in our hearts when
everything is going well. But God hates all of them
and wants to remove them from our lives, because they
are obscuring the inner light of Christ from shining
through our lives to those around us.

God wants us to recognize how much these things
obscure the life of Christ within us. He wants us to
crumble into a heap of self-abhorance, one of complete
dependence on the mercy and grace of God. He wants us
to realize that inside each one of us is the ability
to commit any disgusting sin that we abhor in others,
that it is true that when we point a finger at someone
else, 3 fingers are pointing back at ourselves. But
always remember, one finger is still left in this
example, to point up to God, the way of escape, the
refuge from sin and the source of all holiness.

As it is recorded in Job, after all the suffering and
self-examination that Job went through, he finally
turns to God and admits...

Job 42:1-6 (KJV)
Then Job answered the LORD, and said,
{2} I know that thou canst do every thing,
and that no thought can be withholden from thee.
{3} Who is he that hideth counsel without knowledge?
therefore have I uttered that which I understood
not;
things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.
{4} Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak:
I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.
{5} I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear:
but now mine eye seeth thee.
{6} Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and
ashes.

Job confesses that the experience of God that he had
previously, was superficial. ..even though it was
enough for God to proclaim him as "a good man who
fears God and will have nothing to do with evil".
After going through all the trauma and suffering and
pain, he describes his former spiritual experience as
if he only had second-hand knowledge about God
before. His was a superficial experience, one based on
the teachings and testimonies of others. But now his
experinece of God is real, as if face to face, person
to person.

And now his estimation of his own self has also
changed...he sees the Holiness and Omnipotence of God,
and his own loathesome sinfulness by comparison. Much
like Isaiah's experience, when he was confronted with
the Holiness of God..

(Isa 6:1-5 KJV)
In the year that king Uzziah died
I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and
lifted up,
and his train filled the temple.
{2} Above it stood the seraphims:
each one had six wings; with twain he covered his
face,
and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he
did fly.
{3} And one cried unto another, and said,
Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole
earth is full of his glory.
{4} And the posts of the door moved at the voice of
him that cried,
and the house was filled with smoke.
{5} Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone;
because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in
the midst of a people of unclean lips:
for mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts.

WHAT DO WE DO IN THE MEANTIME
First of all, don't blame, criticise, accuse, other
people, or even ourselves. Realize that just because
bad things are happening to you or a loved one, it may
NOT mean that there is some sin lurking in the
person's life who is undergoing suffering. As in the
story of Job, his so-called friends, rather than
actually comforting him, end up accusing him of some
hidden sin or flaw that brought on his suffering. The
fact that God disapproved of these false accusations
was clearly shown as God admonished them for their
lack of understanding and compassion with these words:

Job 42:7 (KJV)
And it was so, that after the LORD had spoken these
words unto Job,
the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite(one of the
false accusers),
My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two
friends:
for ye have not spoken of me the thing that is right,
as my servant Job hath.

Rather view a time of tragedy or suffering as a
"wake-up call" for yourself, and for all of those
involved. Even though we may have been growing in
prosperity or worldly maturity, God may be calling us
to start growing inwardly, spiritually, in dimensions
of holiness, committment and service. Oftentimes, the
means of this growth is the pathway of suffering.

(Job 1:20-22 KJV)
Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his
head,
and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped,
{21} And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb,
and naked shall I return thither:
the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away;
blessed be the name of the LORD.
{22} In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God
foolishly.

ALLOW YOURSELF TO GRIEVE
Job's first response was to cry out in grief, but then
to immediately fall down on the ground in worship, and
focus his attention on God. He took an attitude of
submission to the sovereign will of God. He sat in
silence for 7 days, saying nothing, meditating and
rehearsing all the traumatic events that had just
befallen him. I suggest that in the midst of a
traumatic experience or tragedy, we must focus our
attention as never before on the Person of God...in
repentence, and humble submission, seeking a new
relationship of closeness to Jesus Christ, calling out
to Him for mercy.

TALK IT OUT

Job 7:11 (KJV)
Therefore I will not refrain my mouth;
I will speak in the anguish of my spirit;
I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.

Job's next set of responses was to talk and reminisce
within a circle of his trusted friends his feelings,
doubts, loss, sadness. Even though his friends didnt
really "get it", and they accused him falsely of sins
he never committed, He talked over everything. He
complained about everything, cursed his own existence,
and his own troubles. He expressed all the deep
despair and hopelessness that was in his heart...verse
after verse, chapter upon chapter...putting into words
all the pain and anguish that was inside his own
heart...not hiding it or bottling it up. He put it
into words and sentences his pain and grief, where he
could look at them and ventilate them, where others
could share in the pain of his trauma.

Here is another suggestion to anyone affected by a
terrible tragedy...seek out a trusted friend or a very
few friends, or cousellors at church or other
professionals, and ventilate all your pent up pain,
frustration, anger...all of it. Or go to a private
place and talk outloud and verbally to God. Try to
concentrate on your own reaction to all of this rather
than on the tragedy itself. You cannot find any verse
in all of the Book of Job where Job says, "O, my
little children, killed by a mighty wind from God", or
any other reference to the actual losses he suffered,
but everything was a ventilation of his own emotional
response to it, good and bad; because that is
apparently where the real injury lies, in the thoughts
and doubts and responses of the heart to a tragedy.
And apparently that is where the healing lies also,
and not in concentrating on or remembering the
traumatic event itself, but in dealing with the
response that you had to it.


RE-FOCUS YOUR ATTENTION ON THE SOVEREIGNTY AND
GOODNESS OF GOD

Eventually Job got back to focussing on God, and
recognizing the sovereignty of God from His creation
and His goodness. It is then that the real healing and
re- ordering of his life took place. Having talked to
himself, his friends, and his wife, he eventually got
to talking TO God, not just ABOUT God. It is this
place that God wants us to arrive...face to face with
God, in submission and worship.

Exo 33:11 (KJV)
And the LORD spake unto Moses face to face,
as a man speaketh unto his friend.

Judg 6:22 (KJV)
And when Gideon perceived that he was an angel of the
LORD, Gideon said,
Alas, O Lord GOD!
for because I have seen an angel of the LORD face to
face.

1 Cor 13:12 (KJV)
For now we see through a glass, darkly;
but then face to face:
now I know in part;
but then shall I know even as also I am known.

May you never have to go through a deep
spirit-wrenching tragedy. But if you must, may your
focus be on the Living God who who gives this gracious
invitation by Jesus Christ to all those who suffer
tragedies or are worn out by the circumstances of
life:

(1 Pet 1:3-9 KJV)
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus
Christ,
which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us
again unto a lively hope
by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
{4} To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled,
and that fadeth not away,
reserved in heaven for you,
{5} Who are kept by the power of God through faith
unto salvation
ready to be revealed in the last time.
{6} Wherein ye greatly rejoice
, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in
heaviness through manifold temptations:
{7} That the trial of your faith, being much more
precious than of gold that perisheth,
though it be tried with fire,
might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the
appearing of Jesus Christ:
{8} Whom having not seen, ye love;
in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing,
ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:
{9} Receiving the end of your faith, even the
salvation of your souls.

Accept this kind and gracious invitation from the Lord
Jesus Christ:

Mat 11:28-29 (KJV)
Come unto me,
all ye that labour and are heavy laden,
and I will give you rest.
{29} Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me;
for I am meek and lowly in heart:
and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
In Christ.. No matter what the circumstances looks like know this to be true! There are Five Watches in a persons own life to be valued! Watch Your thoughts they become words, Watch Your words, they become actions, Watch Your actions they become habits, Watch Your habits, they become your character, Watch Your character, they become Your own destiny.
