God's Presence Within...



God’s Presence Within...
Hand in hand, the Lord and I,
Tread this path as One, Divine.
His Spirit is my Comforter;
And with him, I’m on one accord.

His Spirit fills my mind and heart; it stimulates my very soul—
            Encouraging and nurturing... anointing me with Truth, untold.
He is, in fact, my Dearest Friend—the One who saves my soul from sin...
Who fills me with His strength and peace
And inspires, within me, Victory!
He is my promised Comforter—the Great “I Am,” the Precious Lamb.
He walks with me and talks with me.  ...Communes with me as parent to child;
And, when I’m weak, He makes me strong...enables me to carry on.
He is my help—my rod and shield—
            My guiding Light in dark, dense fields.
In Him, I know that righteousness is the sole path to Holiness

A Mother's Love and Mother's Milk: A Comparative Analysis




A MOTHER’S LOVE AND MOTHER’S MILK:  A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS
A mother’s love is like breast milk—both...sanctioned by Mother Nature herself.
A MOTHER’S MILK IS...
            Pure, sufficient, sanitary, safe, suitable, satisfactory;
            Healthy, helpful, harmless, hope-filled, hearty;
            The perfect transition from fetus to infancy;
            Full of tangy, tasty nutrients and flavorful, savory goodness;
Filled with the absolute best alternative for an infant’s tender, sensitive,
            Immature... fetal development.
...And, so is the God-sent grandeur of a Mother’s LOVE.
MOTHER’S LOVE... (like mother’s milk)
Is a prerequisite for healthy moral and spiritual development and
discipline—The basis of divine goodness.
 Surpasses all mundane remedies for mental, social, psychological, moral,
            And spiritual development.
Is generally pure, secure, and totally sincere.   
Is lovingly given to a flesh and blood being, gleaned from her very own—
 is the source of a mother’s dreams and hopes—
desires that she may never live to see materialize.
A mother knows that love she gives, through her breast milk, Flows from God’s holy trough.
Both (mother’s love and breast milk) are God-sent remedies for her baby’s critical needs.
MOTHER’S MILK...
Mother’s milk is nature’s assurance of a natural structured succor, which is
 sanitary,  sensory, sustainable, sufficient, sensible, sequential...
Also, a loving, inexpensive transition from fetus to infancy.
Mother’s milk flows from her, pasteurized.
            Within its substance, lies its worth—it is God Himself-prescribed.
Mother’s milk remediates baby’s life impediments and woes...
            And is uniquely created by Almighty, omnipotent, omniscient,
all-encompassing... God;
Mother’s milk surpasses all other nutritional options;   
...Promotes bonding, healing, love...growth in all their forms
Mother’s milk is genuine, pasteurized, uncompromising...       
...Nature’s remedy for health.

MOTHER’S LOVE...
Mother’s love sustains life...maintains peace,
Engenders the orderly development of humankind and the universe,
Like mother’s milk, a mother’s LOVE does all of this and more:
 It forms life’s initial building blocks.
From this divinely ordained initiative, Mother’s love orchestrates
Humankind’s more complex functions.
A mother’s love is the impetus for all that is good and noble...
all that is worthy of emulating and pursuing in life.
A mother’s love instills within us a sense of kindness, gentleness
 Sensitivity...  for the needs and desires of others.
A mother’s love distinguishes our innate divinely ordained impulses
from the baser demonized influences that create selfish wantonness and abject viciousness.
A mother’s love is the source of humankind’s goodness,
justice, decency, integrity....
Without it, we are doomed to a society of selfishness and sinister satanic influences.
Indeed, a mother’s love activates the transfer of  life’s redeeming, refining, reforming... qualities.
