For God so loved the world,
that He gave His only begotten Son [Jesus the Christ],
that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish,
but have everlasting life.

The attached chart describes 4 pairs of words in Isaiah 53:5
1. wounded - transgressions
2. bruised (pulverized) - iniquities3. chastisement - peace
4. stripes - healed
The column on the left shows the process that JESUS went though to redeem the destruction that was caused by humans.
The column on the right describes the damage that HUMANS did to themselves and the earth.
Humans began the process of destruction by "striding away from" God.
A definition of each word is provided, along with a 1st occurrence of that same word in the bible.

Many of the words that we use today,
have had their meanings corrupted.
"Self-Control"
was never meant to be a response to temptation.
It was never meant to describe a pushing away
from something that is feared.
"Self-Control"
is an act of reverence.
It is like carrying a bowl of water through the desert,
trying not to spill a drop of the life-giving essence.
"Self-Control"
is about what you run towards, not what you run from.
Galatians 5:22,23
But the Fruit of the Spirit is Love, Joy, Peace,
Patience, Kindness, Goodness,
Faithfulness, Gentleness,
SELF-CONTROL:
against such there is no law.
"Self-Control"
is the bowl that holds the Fruit of the Spirit of God.

Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying,
I am the light of the world:
he that followeth Me shall not walk in darkness,
but shall have the light of life.

And its mare
Bring me a donkey
With silver hair
Bring me a donkey
Lest I dare
Leave you to govern on your own!

Then said Jesus unto them again,
Verily, verily, I say unto you,
I am the door of the sheep.

The thief cometh not, but for to steal,
and to kill, and to destroy:
I [Jesus] am come that they might have life,
and that they might have it more abundantly.
......................
The thief is darkness, and it has a 3 step strategy:
1. steal the attention of your spirit away from God ... in order to
2. kill the connection that your soul has with God ... in order to
3. destroy the ability of your body to carry the Light of God upon the earth.
......................

The whistling winds of Winter
Lay snow upon the ground
In blankets soft and sparkling
That mute and muffle sound
The crystal air is bristling
With frost upon my face
To celebrate the season
And it's cool embrace
But underneath the mantle
The whispers have begun
O’re the fragrance of the petals
That will grace the Summer sun.

For unto us a child is born,
unto us a son is given:
and the government shall be upon His shoulder:
and His Name shall be called
Wonderful,
Counsellor,
The mighty God,
The everlasting Father,
The Prince of Peace.
