A righteous person cares for the life of his animal, yet even the compassion of the wicked is cruel.
Proverbs 12:10 TLV

The heart of righteousness is chesed, loving kindness. If you love God, you will love God's creatures.

This does not mean that a righteous man doesn't harm and kill animals. It only means he doesn't treat the animal cruelly. He doesn't torture, maim, or cause needless suffering.

The wicked, on the other hand, do all kinds of hateful things to all of Creation in the name of "love".

It is sometimes tricky to understand the difference between God's grace in our sin and our responsibility to be righteous. I tend to think it's about making righteousness our goal and realigning my actions to the goal, day after day after day. https://archive.aweber.com/awlist6425868/IJnIY

The modern Christian church often places more importance on the afterlife than this life leading many to think that the reason to believe in the Creator is to go to heaven. That is not the reason the Creator brought the people out of Egypt years ago and it is not the reason he brings us out of our sin filled lifestyle today. Exodus 8:1, “Then the LORD said to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh and tell him that this is what the LORD says: ‘Let My people go, so that they may serve Me.” This verse should remind us the reason that we leave our sinful past is not simply to get into heaven but to serve our Creator today.

"If any man love me, he will keep my word"

Jn 14

Track breaks sear the table of weaving wicks. Rending falls on the ear, a nested belly membraneous and nocturnal, shifting along the settled air in trial of the dried wink.
Through the core of the carven cylinder threads five wicks and six principle shifts. Thin walls shudder under the settling of the unlit hours. Dressed in flanged festoons, Isaac Yarrow's persons learn the charge, and treble the key fare.

Lissom links of crossing flats parch the print in drying clay cracks. Rived cataracts over the head and below, turned up again and unlit again, loosed under the built vaults for the test. Driven in the central circling shade, rough matte in patchwork scratch, the highest drawing drives. Thin walls are under the founding of the encircling shades. Soon the studious return, and threefold will they be.

Thought for Today: Tuesday August 22:

We are truly loving when we help ourselves and others to be all we are meant to be. A loving life is a life where there is a balance between fulfilling our own needs and caring enough about others to help them fulfill theirs.

Daily Prayer

Blessed are You Adonai our YHVH. Thank You for all our blessings each day. Blessings that we sometimes just take for granted such as to breath, to see, to hear, to love and everyday living. Thank You for daily bread, our daily word and our daily care you provide for us. Thank You for Your Son Yeshua Moshiach that led us out of bondage into freedom. You love every one of us and reach out to help us. We are ever in Your care and under Your protection. We come as a divided people, often full of mistrust and rejection. We do not find it easy to accept the sinful or to forgive our hurts and therefore, we not only ask that You forgive us our sins, but that Your Spirit teach us to forgive those who sin against us, as You forgive us. We often carry a history of hurts and resentment. Wonderful Abba, we come to You for healing and guidance. We come as part of a world where there is much violence, crime, war, rumours of war and hatred. People live in fear of each other or are in battle with each other. There are so many homeless and rejected people, people that are hungry and people that are hurt by others. We pray for all of them and ask that You send Your angels to comfort them. We pray for all that are ill, all with a disability, for those who are near death and for their loved ones that care for them. We pray for all with sickness of the spirit and soul and ask that You will touch them in a special way. We rejoice in Your love and in the love of our families. We pray for all lonely people, all who feel rejected and all who cannot cope on their own. Adonai, we ask Your protection during this day and that You will be our cloud of protection. May Your blessing rest upon all who seek to serve You in truth during this day. Abba, we ask that You bless each and every one on this TTN social group, their friends and their families. We ask that You embrace all of them with love, peace, success, health and tranquillity. We pray and ask this in the Name of our King, Adonai and Saviour Yeshua Moshiach, amen.
