Blessed Night, Loves 😊

I Pray All Is Well With Everyone…And Your Hearts And Minds Are Full Of Love, Joy, And Compassion…For All Your Brothers And Sisters In Spirit. It Is Indeed True That Loving Others Can Sometimes Be Difficult For Whatever Reasons – And There May Be Seemingly – A Plethora. Still, Tho, There Is Never A Divine Excuse…For Not Loving! But If Ever Loving Others In The Outer World Or Loving Ourselves Feels Burdensome – At Times; Let Us Not Tarry In That Mode Of Thinking – Lest We Descend Downwards Towards Darkness And Destruction. Instead, Let Us Replace Those Unloving Thoughts With Thoughts Of Love And Being Love…For Love Is Our Origin And Essence; It Is The Spirit Within Us – The Living God – Our “Mighty I AM Presence”! Amen…

Give Thanks And Praises For Love And Life…

And Y’all Be Love…

​”I made a covenant with my eyes, so that I did not even think of the virgin. For what part would God from above have in me, and the inheritance of the Almighty from on high? Is not destruction to the unrighteous, and the alienation of those who work injustice? Does he consider my ways and count all my steps? If I walked in vain and my foot hastened in deceit, weigh me in a just balance, and let God know my simplicity. If my step deviated from the road, and if my eyes followed my heart, and if the stain adheres to my hands, it will be late and someone else will eat, and my seed shall be cut off.

​If my heart is deceived over a woman, and if I waited at my friend’s door, let my wife be another’s prostitute, and over her others bow down. For this is wrong, and the greatest iniquity. It is a fire that consumes even to destruction; and rooting out all the germs. If I disdain to undergo judgment with my servant and my maidservant, when they argued against me, for what shall I do when God rises to judge, and when he asks, what shall I answer him? Did he not make me in the womb, who also worked for him, and formed me in the womb alone?

If I denied what they wanted to the poor, and I made the widow’s eyes wait; if I ate my bite alone and the orphan did not eat from it (for from my childhood compassion grew with me, and she came forth with me from my mother’s womb); If I looked down upon him who was passing, because he had no clothing, and without covering the poor; if their sides had not blessed me and he was warmed from the skins of my sheep; if I lifted my hand over the pupil, even when I saw myself at the upper gate: my shoulder falls from its joint and my arm is broken with its bones. For I always feared God as if the waves were swelling over me, and I could not bear its weight.

If I thought gold my strength and I said with a smile: My trust; If I rejoiced over my many riches, and because my hands have found many; if I saw the sun when it was shining and the rising moon and my heart rejoiced in secret, and I kissed my hand with my mouth; which is the greatest iniquity and denial against the Most High God?

If I rejoiced at the fall of him who hated me, and I rejoiced that he had found him evil; For I have not given my throat to sin, that I might wait, cursing his soul. If the men of my tabernacle had not said: Who will give of his flesh, that we may be satisfied? The stranger did not stay outside, my door was open to the traveler.

If I hide my sin like a man and I hid my iniquity in my bosom; if I was afraid of the excessive multitude, and the contempt of my relatives terrified me, and I was no longer silent, nor did I go out the door, who will give me an audience that the Almighty may hear my desire? And he who judges writes the book to carry that port on my shoulder and surround him as a crown for me.

Through each of my steps I will pronounce it, and I will offer him as if to a prince. If my land cries out against me and when the very furrows thereof fade away; if I ate its fruits without money, and I afflicted the soul of its husbandmen: instead of corn, let the tribulus arise for me, and for barley a thorn. The words of Job are finished.

But these three men omitted to answer Job, because it seemed to them just. And Eliu the son of Barachel Buzites, of the kinship of Ram, was angry and indignant. He was angry against Job because he said that he was righteous before God. Moreover, he was indignant against his friends, because they had not found a reasonable answer, but had only condemned Job.

So Eliu waited for Job to speak, because they were elders who were speaking. But when he saw that the three had not been able to answer, he became very angry. Eliu, son of Barachel Buzites answered, and said: I am younger in time, but you are older: therefore, with lowered head, I was afraid to tell you my opinion. For I hoped that the age would speak at length, and the multitude of years would teach wisdom. But, as I see, there is a spirit in men, and the inspiration of the Almighty gives understanding.

The wise are not long-lived, neither do old men understand judgment. Therefore, I will say: Hear me, I will also show you my wisdom. For I waited for your words; I have heard your wisdom, until we debated with words; and until I thought I would say something to you, I considered; but, as I see, there is no one who can accuse Job; and from you to answer his words; lest you say, We have found wisdom. God cast him out, not man.

Nothing spoke to me, and I will not answer him according to your words. They were afraid, and answered no more, and they withdrew their words from themselves. Because I waited, and they did not speak; they stood still, and answered no more. I will answer and I will do my part, and I will show my knowledge, for I am full of words, and the spirit of my womb constrains me; And my belly is like a must without a vent, which breaks up new lagoons. I will speak and breathe a little, I will open my lips and answer. I will not accept the person of a man, and I will not equal God to man. For I do not know how long it will remain, and if after a little while, my maker takes me away.

Listen therefore, Job, to my words, and listen to all my words. Behold, I have opened my mouth; let my tongue speak in my mouth. My words are simple in my heart, and my lips shall speak a pure sentence. The Spirit of God made me, and the breath of the Almighty quickened me. If you can, answer me and stand against my face. Behold, God made me as you and of the same clay I too was formed. Don’t let my miracle scare you and let not my eloquence be burdensome to you.

Then you said in my ears, and I heard the voice of thy words: I am clean, and without sin, spotless, and there is no iniquity in me. Because he finds complaints in me, therefore, he thought me his enemy. He set my feet in chains; He kept all my tracks.

This is, then, in which you are not justified. I will answer you because God is greater than man. You strive against him, that he did not answer you to all the words? Once God speaks, he does not repeat the same thing a second time. In a dream, in a night vision, when slumber rushes upon men, and they sleep in bed, then he opens the ears of the men, and instructing them in training, to turn a man away from what he does, and free him from pride, rescuing his soul from corruption, and that his life may not pass into the sword. He also groans in pain in bed and makes all his bones wither. He becomes abominable to him in his life of bread, and the food of that soul was previously desirable. His flesh shall perish, and the bones that were covered will be laid bare. His soul drew near to corruption, and the life of that mortal.

If there was an angel speaking for him, one of thousands, to announce the equity of man, He will have pity on him, and will say: Deliver him, that he may not descend into corruption; I found in which he was propitiated. His flesh was consumed by executions; let him return to the days of his youth.

He will implore God, and he will be appeased to him; and shall see his face in jubilation, and he will render to man his justice. He will look at men and say: I have sinned; and indeed, I sinned, and as I deserved, I did not recover. He delivered his soul, that it might not go into destruction, but the living would see the light.

Behold, God works all these things, three times each, to call back their souls from corruption, and let it shine with the light of the living. Listen, Job, and hear me, and be silent while I speak. But if you have something to say, answer me, speak, for I want you to appear just. But if you have not, listen to me, be silent, and I will teach you wisdom.”
