Can the wealth, the wealthy, or promises of such save anyone? Can it spare anyone from the painful progression of a naturally-occurring illness? Or, can it prevent an untimely or premature death? It might produce such. Some high-profile cases from the last five decades enter my mind concerning male and female entertainers from the last five decades who lived a life of enviable luxuries, yet left this Earth under questionable circumstances. And, some were under the care of a medical specialists well-known for entertainment-medicine. Sadly, media reports revealed the ruckus that ensued when a legal circus started revolving around who would take custody of each celebrity's estate and an heir's inheritance, mad-capped, maniacal money!!!
And, once again, a country, whose military reach spans the globe and who has an economic impact felt among open-air markets in developing nations and within the most well-heeled financial markets, has voted for a business magnate as its visible national leader. A leader who knows about the confidence one can solicit from others with the promise of potential payment, based upon his personal history of profit-making. A history that started with social connection that permitted securing large, lucrative loans. These debts real estate investors call "leverage". They let one pry away at profit potential, for one's property leasers or buyers will eventually cover any expenses incurred in repaying the debt. So, a person can have property holdings of impressive "market" value, the trappings of wealth such as the finest homes, automobiles, suits of clothes, plus large balances in numerous bank and brokerage accounts, but when honestly reconciled, they might have less than a woman who spent her life working as "day-help", saved regularly, and could leave a local college an endowment that will be supporting educations for decades, if not centuries! When one looks at the ratio of financial return and impact versus the resources available for producing it, the power of self-discipline, frugality, and thrift is not only immeasurably, but it is unbeatable! Yet, a woman who would be flattered, if she were given a fancy title of "personal assistant", cannot make "a problem" disappear with a phone call, unless she makes it from a prayer closet.
So, what shall we do with US?!? Can we agree that we need help? Professional counseling will not fix this? Most of America's counselors need counseling! Pardon, the repeated term suggesting what learned medical professionals call a "poverty of speech". In the world of creative English writing, this is called an epanalepsis. And, if rebutted by a well-read client, these medical professionals might call this a "pleonasm spasm" and try medicating it with a strong muscle relaxant which induces immediate incontinence. When certain individuals enter a given station in life, they simply will not consider advice from anyone, including those floating in their same perceived social stratosphere. This is why American counselor specializing in psychology are some of the "most sociopathic" among US.
The wise thief was wise enough that he said, "Remember me when You enter Your Kingdom!". Social leaders from periods of troubling American unrest have said, in paraphrase, "Many blessings lay ahead! I might reach not them in my lifetime! Yet, they are for everyone who will willing strive for them...a bright and future day exists for future generations." And, someone who might never call you a friend, nor claim that you are, might say, "a better life exists outside the path on which I travel...I pray that you find it....I have heard tell of a life of simple blessings untold, peace in the midst of the most turbulent of life's storms, and a Friend unlike any other...it starts with a single step in yon direction....if you start along that narrow and straight path you should not have any trouble finding a quality map...who knows some of these folks on rabble-rouser road might follow, including me....!"
Most American counselors, including those among God-fearing congregations, will provide Jerry Springer therapy session after session, at the tune of $225+ per hour of "professional services". They respond with "it is what it is" for any and every "seemingly, never-ending confused personal account of life's difficulties". And, the summation of month's worth of sessions is "Look, one must adapt and survive within this world based upon the way it is when they enter it and where they enter it! It will never change and you will never change it!" Then, they will make some feeble attempt at paraphrasing a scriptural verse, such as, "Nothing new exists under the Sun!" Yet, they will not considering ingesting the Prozac that they give others for the mildest of melancholy, disillusionment, or discontentment. And, when their greed has produced a weekly case load beyond their capacity and they decide the they will "exchange" a few client's with another practice for a financial consideration, one will likely hear, "For Pete's sake, grow up and put on your (big boy boxers/big girl bloomers)! You are old enough that you should understand some things about life! Here, I give you another chance at sorting this out. I said that I would. I have a friend who I think can help.I have done all that I can. I will make this referral." So, what will wii do with Us, huh! Sound like one of those old trite mind-games "seasoned" teenagers would play with a "new girl or guy" that just entered the dating scene? Why would someone waste the time sitting in classes, possibly costing a small fortune, for a piece of paper with a designation of advanced learning on it, simply so they can play mind-games! Mostly likely, it simply pays bills. It costs lives from unneeded suicides and homicides; yet, most "professionals" use that same "weak" excuse....certain situations never improve....we must accept this....And, then they have the unmitigated gall that they will conclude with, "let go and let God!"
"Wait someone better hold on! The whole world is going crazy! Someone better stay strong!" - Kierra Sheard
When most American counselors realize that a person is easy-going, trusting, plus giving, often more-so than the average American, and that this person is frequently accepting a roles in everyday relationships which others would call being "used" and not not properly utilized or compensated for the gifts and talents which this person possesses, they will simply say, "Ooooh how sweet! Let me get a couple of licks of this never-ending sucker!". This response is what one would expect from most immature, anti-social adolescents who were raised in the midst of dysfunction, jaded by life's experiences at a very early age, bitter from the unhealthy, unhealed heartbreaks, hoping that they can punish the entire world for their misfortune, and who have never sought the solace that faith in God brings.
When most American counselors meet with such a person, they will be pegged in short-order. The counselor will likely know by the requested purpose for the session. Most of us can swell dog-hairs, especially those soaked by the rains of mistreatment long before the unwanted mongrel enters clear-view, with his tail-dragging, head hovering slightly above his paws, and his ears dragging through the dirt. Most counselors and other social predators can spot someone who simply needs a friend, who will be reasonably equitable when dealing with them. And, if the were such a friend themselves, they would, say, "In this world, a truly, trustworthy and faithful friend, nare a man might find amongst thousands, it would take some pain-staking searching, but I know of a friend who cleaves more closely than a brother!".
What will we do with US, huh? Someone called the Paraclete will help! This is simply the Holy Ghost that portion of the Trinity which is the binary-blessing of peace, tranquility, and calm; a mixture of knowing that His Graceful Mercies poured out on an old-rugged crosses and still flow in the fabric of Eternity, realizing that if earthly fathers being evil can bless their children with good gifts, how much more can the Father in Heaven grant us a full portion of His Holy Spirit if we only ask, and one of the beautiful gifts that the Holy Ghost offers is a peace which passes understanding.
Translated Paraclete means Comforter. The Holy Ghost is called a Counselor! It was promised that Jesus Christ, the Messiah would be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty King, Lord of Lords....Should not an earthly counselor provide comfort from worries, frets, and anxieties! Could they at least give us a referral, before fleecing our insurance companies and possibly sitting by calmly, as our lives enters a tailspin. Well, Jehovah-Rapha can be found in the Book. That is not necessarily a phone-book. He has quite an excellent record of successfully healing and protecting humankind from the sickness and pains of this life.
So, what will we do with US, huh! This simply cannot continue, if we any hope for long-term joy, peace, love, hope or any other of His Beautiful and Bountiful Blessings....So, what will we do! I will help you...You will help me...Then, we will help US be better with the Lord's Guidance, His Mercy, and Hid Grace! That is what we shall do with US! Promise!
May The Lord Keep...May His Grace Shine Upon You...Until We All Meet Again...and Enjoy Being the US....That El-Shaddai Intended!
