While the world around us goes completely insane!
We strive everyday to cleanse our hands from any blame.

Will mankind, on its own be able to succeed?
So common nowadays it’s considered just good entertainment, to see someone bleed.

No surprise to us, as we have been educated about how in the days of Noah, so would the days of the son of man be.
Who but Jehovah, would’ve been able to prophesy this acute mess, and with such preciseness foresee?

We must remember though that love is our heavenly father’s foremost outstanding quality!
He looks at every individual with respectful and tender equality…

Emulating his personality is of course a choice.
Clothed with it, we are able to wear it in such a way that will actually make HIM rejoice.

Father we humbly ask you help us not to cower!
Especially at this evident time, of this wicked world’s final hour!

Our unity amidst chaos comes from our knowing that your ultimate will, most certainly will be done.
So jointly with this state of mind and heart, we continue without let up, to reach as many as possible with the good news of your appointed son, and how he will soon usher in your everlasting kingdom.



J.I.F.



Colossians 3:10,14
10 and clothe yourselves with the new personality, which through accurate knowledge is being made new according to the image of the One who created it,

3:14
But besides all these things, clothe yourselves with love, for it is a perfect bond of union.

1 John 4:8
8 Whoever does not love has not come to know God, because God is love.

Matthew 24:37
37 For just as the days of Noah were, so the presence of the Son of man will be.

Matthew 4:17
17 From that time on, Jesus began preaching and saying: “Repent, for the Kingdom of the heavens has drawn near.”

Matthew 24:14
14 And this good news of the Kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.

Proverbs 18:10
10 The name of Jehovah is a strong tower. Into it the righteous one runs and receives protection.
Joseph Fernandez Jan 2021
The day we are born we are with inactive guilt.
It takes a traveled through life, till it’s eventually built.

Stumbling day by day we weave to and fro as an escaping chained slave.
Inherited sin always chasing close behind, wanting to put us in our eternal grave.

Who will free us from ourselves?
Who will help us the wrong course repel?

All know inwardly right and wrong.
But it takes conviction to be strong.

Faith is invisible, but his love is O’ so real.
He always there when we fail, knowing our
self-hate that we deeply feel...

We enter innocent, we exit guilty.
But in his eyes of hopeful love, we’re not uncleanable no never too filthy...


J.I.F.


Luke 15:20

So he got up and went to his father. While he was still a long way off, his father caught sight of him and was moved with pity, and he ran and embraced him and tenderly kissed him.

Isaiah 1:18

Come, now, and let us set matters straight between us,” says Jehovah.“Though your sins are like scarlet, They will be made as white as snow; Though they are as red as crimson cloth, They will become like wool.

In the day those without faith think least,
That’s the day he will put in motion the prophesied wild beast.

Peace and security will come but not at their actual hands,
It’s the kings from the rising of the sun that bring about those final commands...

When the general thinking is the sky today looks clearly blue...
This is when he will make crystal clear what he intends to do...

Crashing down, the infamous harlot will completely burn,
Yes, this is what his righteous family does wholeheartedly yearn!

From mid-heaven down to the earth no place will be found...
Nowhere to hide from his judgement voice that the WORD will ultimately sound...

At the end of this day all wickedness will cease to a halt,
So (now) is the time best to practice being found without any fault...

No time will there be to rewind those fixable mistakes we continued to put off,
The hour is now to accept responsibility in one unhesitant quaff...

Thereafter, LIFE for those found clean and bright...
He guarantees them no enemy will be a match for his holy spirits might!

It is written that no one but he knows the actual day and hour,
Except perhaps his son to whom he has given all authority and power...

When exactly will it come, this we do not know?
But to those hearing with their heart, he now lifesaving truth does bestow...


J.I.F.

Revelation 16:12
The sixth one poured out his bowl on the great river Eu·phraʹtes, and its water was dried up to prepare the way for the kings from the rising of the sun.

Matthew 24:21
for then there will be great tribulation such as has not occurred since the world’s beginning until now, no, nor will occur again.
Joseph Fernandez Oct 2023
When you don't have a faithfilled futureistic outlook forward, the distant past is what is instead entertained.
Yesteryear temporarily helps distract and ease the here and now, of our distorted mirror picture frame.

Many today try their best to look back with fondness, to a time perhaps filled with more pleasant and youthful memories.
In this unfortunate fallen world, you’re young only once, then the former days of life are unreachably gone, when it exuded what appeared to be endless energies…

Events that are then absent, are what seem more dependable.
I suspect the compounding reason why, is because things all around us every day are becoming more and more reprehensible…

Looking forward to the time when the future is the place we will with total delight and confidence focus, instead of the long lost past…
Is it possible there will ever be a time like this, when every next day, will be even brighter than the last?

Will the future ever, everyday be a better time with added endless possibilities?
Will we ever experience the sky’s limitless limit, when we’ll have boundless God given strength, and everlasting capabilities?

Yes! This will be the time when nostalgia itself will be a thing of the forgotten past.
When we no longer have any need to cling to what currently, does not last...

Revelation 21:3,4
3 With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. 4 And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”

Job 33:25
25 Let his flesh become fresher than in youth; Let him return to the days of his youthful vigor.

Isaiah 65:21-25
They will build houses and live in them, And they will plant vineyards and eat their fruitage.  22 They will not build for someone else to inhabit, Nor will they plant for others to eat.  For the days of my people will be like the days of a tree, And the work of their hands my chosen ones will enjoy to the full.  23 They will not toil for nothing, Nor will they bear children for distress, Because they are the offspring made up of those blessed by Jehovah, And their descendants with them.  24 Even before they call out, I will answer; While they are yet speaking, I will hear.  25 The wolf and the lamb will feed together, The lion will eat straw just like the bull, And the serpent’s food will be dust. They will do no harm nor cause any ruin in all my holy mountain,” says Jehovah.

Psalm 37:10,11,29
10 Just a little while longer, and the wicked will be no more; You will look at where they were, And they will not be there.
11 But the meek will possess the earth, And they will find exquisite delight in the abundance of peace.

29 The righteous will possess the earth, And they will live forever on it.



Isaiah 65:22b
Days of a tree,

Some trees live for thousands of years.
Can we see, with our minds eye, the idea that Jehovah is implanting within us?
Joseph Fernandez Nov 2023
Everyone is intimately familiar with suffering.
So much so that it’s become commonplace to always try to achieve the best antidote for buffering.

It’s a constant that just does not go away.
So we all are forced to reluctantly play.

However, this game has penalties that affect us long term.
Like a miss judged grab at a scolding hot ***, it will for quite a while burn.

Will the suffering of this world ever cease?
Will we ever live endless days in absolute peace?

Have you heard of the promises of Jehovah, the almighty God that is able all his promises deliver?
We can have faith in his word, for he is the ultimate law giver.

His statutes though will never be a burdensome bother.
Because unlike imperfect humans, he is the universes most loving father.

The answer is yes, suffering will in his due time, come to an end.
And I know, because it’s all we’ve ever known, it’s hard to comprehend.
However have strong faith, the day soon approaches when he will suffering forever suspend!

3 With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people.

Living in the present,
but dwelling on the past.
Conducive to making our life any longer last?

Once given our fervent prayer of pleas, are they possible again to retrieve?
Are not our errors of yesterday better left in his trustworthy reprieve?

If yesterday is gone why continue to live there?
Why do we carry on sentencing ourselves, and over and over, us rip and tear?

Convicted or exonerated!
Though we are impotent in these extreme terms we everyday constantly them ponder…
With what right to judge ourselves or anyone else, is that not within his sole  jurisdiction, to capably conquer?

The future is brighter when fully trusting his merciful forgiving ability.
Lest we forget he truly understands our inherent fragility...

Yesterday gone, tomorrow now here.
Let's take this fresh opportunity to fully incline our willing hearts, and to his compassionate standards, wholly adhere...



J.I.F.



Lamentations 3:22,23
22 It is because of Jehovah’s loyal love that we have not come to our finish, For his mercies never end.  23 They are new each morning; your faithfulness is abundant.

Psalms 146:3,4
3 Do not put your trust in princes Nor in a son of man, who cannot bring salvation.  4 His spirit goes out, he returns to the ground; On that very day his thoughts perish.

Proverbs 3:5
5 Trust in Jehovah with all your heart, And do not rely on your own understanding.

Psalm 103:14
14 For he well knows how we are formed, Remembering that we are dust.  

————————————

Psalm 103:14 is many times misunderstood.
Would anyone build a structure, like a house, out of dust?

No, because dust is a (fragile) substance.

Jehovah remembers, and never forgets that we are fragile, and lovingly deals with us according to our well understood makeup.

He certainly gave us an extraordinary example as to how we should interact with all others, especially our young children.


Philippians 2:3,4
3 Do nothing out of contentiousness or out of egotism, but with humility consider others superior to you,  4 as you look out not only for your own interests, but also for the interests of others.
Joseph Fernandez Nov 2021
Too much time has passed that you shouldn’t have let go by.
Pain has held you back, that came from those destroyed places deep down, that made you cry.

It’s not fare for you to continue this way!
If you don’t stop your heart will ultimately rot from decay!

Waiting till life hurts no more to live again, is like existing in a world that is not real or childishly pretend…
Yes, zealous action is needed for you to mend.
No worries, it’s worth every ounce of energy that you will expend.
Up to you to be your very worst enemy, or your very good friend?

Moving forward, after so long, it at first may actually seem
counter-productive.
However when you do, things will steadily get incredibly constructive.

It’s now your move, so wait no more!
It’s time for you to open that many years long shut door.
Like a lion in the jungle you are free, and it is your time to roar!
Because,
YOU JUST CAN’T (WAIT) TILL LIFE DOESN’T HURT ANYMORE!

They make the day refreshing and carefree...
Like a perfect sunny afternoon under a massive shade tree...

All apprehension of tensions that cause one stress,
Relieved by the innocence of a child’s mild jest...

Love given without flaw of pretentiousness,
From a source of sheer defenselessness...

These are the characteristics of the young children of love,
Sent here to guide us, from our father that is far, far above...


J.I.F.

Mark 10:14

At seeing this, Jesus was indignant and said to them: “
Let the young children come to me; do not try to stop them, for the Kingdom of God belongs to such ones.

— The End —
