Courageous Love in the Eye of Storm!   

The Power of the Spirit!  

8/31/24  

1/11/22
There is no stopping the Holy Spirit!  
There is no end to Eternity!  
Use this valley of tears to overcome with the power of Holy Spirit!  
Know that God wants only Heaven for his children!  
But there are times when we must taste hell,  

 to fully grasp and appreciate the Heaven that awaits us!  
Courageous love can only be accomplished under duress,  

 and with empathy to remove pain and suffering for another.  
Courageous love recognizes that we must become the eyes of the blind,  

 and the strength of the weak so they too may have Eternal peace!  
This is the essence of courageous love!  
This is the essence of redemptive suffering!  
This is the essence of perfect charity!  
This is why we pray for our enemies!  
This why we must overcome silence!  
This is why we must overcome willful ignorance!  
This is why we must make acts of confidence in our God!  
This is why we must engage and act out the love and the truth of our faith!  
This is why we have an Advocate!  
This is why we Thank God for the Power of the Holy Spirit and invoke him in humble prayer! 
There is no stopping the Holy Spirit!  
There is no end to Eternity!  
Everlasting torment or everlasting Grace!  

 Psalm 78(79):1-13 (DR)   
Deus, venerunt gentes.  

The church in time of persecution prayeth for relief.

 It seems to belong to the time of the Maccabees.
The Destruction of Jerusalem and Its Temple 
“A psalm for Asaph. 

 "O God, the heathens are come into thy inheritance,  

they have defiled thy holy temple:  

 they have made Jerusalem as a place to keep fruit.    

They have given the dead bodies of thy servants to be meat for the fowls of the air: 

 the flesh of thy saints for the beasts of the earth.   

They have poured out their blood as water, 

round about Jerusalem and there was none to bury them.  

We are become a reproach to our neighbours:  

a scorn and derision to them that are round about us.  

How long, O Lord, wilt thou be angry forever?

shall thy zeal be kindled like a fire?    

Pour out thy wrath upon the nations that have not known thee:  

and upon the kingdoms that have not called upon thy name.   

Because they have devoured Jacob; and have laid waste his place. 

Remember not our former iniquities: let thy mercies speedily prevent us, 

for we are become exceeding poor.  

Help us, O God, our saviour:   

and for the glory of thy name, 

O Lord, deliver us: 

and forgive us our sins for thy name's sake: 

Lest they should say among the Gentiles: Where is their God? 

And let him be made known among the nations before our eyes, 

By the revenging the blood of thy servants,

which hath been shed

Let the sighing of the prisoners come in before thee 

According to the greatness of thy arm, 

take possession of the children of them that have been put to death 

And render to our neighbors sevenfold in their bosom: 

the reproach wherewith they have reproached thee, O Lord

But we thy people, and the sheep of thy pasture,

will give thanks to thee forever.

We will shew forth thy praise, unto generation and generation.”
