“For Yahweh Has Comforted His People,
And Will Have Mercy Upon His Afflicted”

Women Act Differently To A Child, And Especially Their Children, Once A Child Has Been Formed In Their Womb.  I Surmise That Some Sort Of A Chemical or Psychological Change Happens To Women At This Point.  Women Seem To Transform, Never To Go Back To Just Being Female.

The Mother Takes The Abuse Of Her Children Personally.  When The Father Slaps A Child, The Mother Feels Slapped Also~!  If I Tell A Mother That Her Two-Year-Old Daughter Has Lifted Her Dress And Showed Her Underwear, The Mother Will Get Embarrassed As If She Herself Had Been Exposed.  The Inverse Of This Is Also True.

When I Give Praise To A Small Child In Front Of Her Mother, It’s Like The Mother Is The Child’s Ventriloquist As I Say, “My, Don’t You Look Nice Today”, To The Child, I Will Surely Hear A Thank-You Coming From The Mother’s ‘Mouth’.  I Don’t Mean, “Now, Henry What Do You Say To Mr. Charlie; Say Thank-You”.

Instead, I Will Hear, “Thank-You Mr. Charlie”, Coming From The Mother.  Henry’s Lips Didn’t Move, But I Heard A Reply As If Henry Had Talked.  That Mother Is Deeply Connected To That Child, Like When I Spoke To The Child I Am Speaking To The Mother.  This Is What Matthew 25:40 Was Talking About When Yahweh Said, “Inasmuch As You Have Done It Unto One Of The Least Of These My Sisters or Brothers, You Have Done It Unto Me”.

Yahweh’s Love Is Just Like That.  If An Ordinary Mother Can Turn ‘Mean Tiger ’, Over Her Child, Think What Yahweh Will Do Over You~!   You Are Yahweh’s Child.  Yahweh Describes His Compassion For You With The Word Womb.  Yahweh Is Always Watching Over You, (Proverbs 15:3; Proverbs 5:21).

Proverbs 15:3 ~ The Eyes Of Yahweh Are In Every Place, Beholding The Evil And The Good.

Proverbs 5:21 ~ For The Ways Of Humanity Are Before The Eyes Of Yahweh; And He Makes Level All His Paths.

His Eyes Don’t Miss Any Of The Well Crafted Schemes And Devices That d—Evil One’s Tries Against You As His Child.

Can A Woman Forget Her Sucking Child?  Yes, There Have Been Times That A Woman Failed To Be Watchful And Turned Her Back On Her Small Infant As Her Attention Was Distracted or Preoccupied, And Someone Stole Her Child At A Store or A Mall.

There Have Been Other Times Where A Mother ALL Out Abandoned Her Child On A Roadside Park, or Left The Child At Someone’s Doorstep, or Died Herself.  It Has Happened.  But, Yahweh Says, “Yet I Will Not Forget You.  See, I Have Inscribed You On The Palms Of My Hands”, (Isaiah 49:16).  Every Time Yahoshua Looks At The Palms Of His Hands, There Are The Nail Holes That Remind Him Of His Great Love For Us.

“See What Great Love The Father Has Lavished On Us, That We Should Be Called Children Of God~!” … (1 John 3:1).

Philippians 3:13-14
¹³ I Don’t Consider, Sisters And Brothers, That I Have Captured And Made It My Own [Yet]; But One Thing I Do: Forgetting What, ‘Lies’ Behind; And Straining Forward To What Is Ahead,
¹⁴ I Press On Toward The Goal For The Prize Of The ‘High Calling’ Of Yahweh In Christ Jesus.

Yahweh Says in Matthew 12:20 and Isaiah 54:9, I Am Not Mad At You, Nor Am I Ashamed Of You.  I Will Not Put Out A Smoking Candle Wick, Even If The Smoke Is Offensive To My Eyes.  I Will Not Break And Disregard A Bent Reed.  You Are Of Great Value To Me~!  You Are Precious In My Eyes~!  You Are The Apple Of My Eye~! (Romans 10:11; Hebrews 2:11 & Hebrews 11:16).

Perhaps You Feel Destitute, Without Hope, About To Be Snuffed Out Like A Smothering Candle Wick.

Ephesians 2:4 Says, ⁴ “But God, Being Rich In Mercy, Because Of The Great And Wonderful And Intense Love With Which He Loved Us.”  Not Just Love, But, “Great Love”, (1 John 3:1).  Of Course We Love Our Children, But When You Hold Your Child or GrandChild And You Say, I Love You Sooooo Much, Not Just Love You, But Love You SO MUCH.  I Love You Sooooo Much.  I Have Heard Many Mothers On The Birth Of Their Child Say, “I Never Knew That I Could Love So Much” … Like Love So Much That Words Cannot Even Express It~!  You Feel Better When You’re Around Them.  You Light Up and Smile When You See Their Face.  You Want To Be With Them.  Telling Them Goodbye.  {Even If They’re Only Be Separated From You For A Few Minutes}, It Breaks Your Heart.  Love So Much That You Can Not Imagine Not Being With Them.  Incomprehensible Joy.

Now Read John 3:16 ~ “For God Soooooooooo Loved ‘The World ’ That He Sent His Only Begotten Son That Whosoever ‘BELIEVES In Him’ Should Not Perish, But Have Everlasting Life”.

A Mother So Loves Her Child That She Always Believes In Them.  The Child Might Mess Up, They Might Have Messed Up For The Umpteen Dozen Time, But Mother’s Don’t Give Up On Us.  This Could Be The 959^th Time That The Child Has Had A Drug Problem, and Everybody Could Be Shouting At Her, “They’re A Heroin Addict~!”  But, The Mom Will Still Stand Up For Them.  She Doesn’t Have This ‘Three Strikes and You’re Out’, Mentality And Neither Does Yahweh.

{Ephesians 2:4-10}
Ephesians 2:4 ^~ “But God, Being Rich In Mercy, Because Of The Great And Wonderful And Intense Love With Which He Loved Us.”

Jesus Said, In Matthew 18:21-22 ~ “Then Came Peter To Him, And Said, Lord, How Often Shall I Forgive My Sister or Brother That Sins Against Me?  Till Seven Times?”  Jesus Said Unto Him, “I Say Not Unto You, Until Seven Times: But, Until Seventy Times Seven~”~!

God Would Not Ask Us To Do Something That He Himself Is Not Already Doing For Us … Forgiving Us As Much As Needed Each And Everyday, {And Jesus Said I Only Say & Do What I See The Father Saying and Doing, (John 5:19; John 12:49)}.

A Friend Told Me Once, “I Wanted To Be A Big Shot Pilot In The United States Army, So Everyone Could See How Great I Am.  But, The Truth Of The Matter Is That You Already Are Great~!  You Are God’s Favorite~!  Therefore You Are A Big Shot In Yahweh’s Eyes~!  Big Enough For Yahweh To Send His Son To Die In Your Place~!

{Ephesians 2:4-10}

Isaiah 49:13
¹³ That If We Only Grasp What Yahweh Had Done For Us, Then We Ought To Sing For Joy, “Sing, O Heavens; And Be Joyful, O Earth; And Break Forth Into Singing, O Mountains: For Yahweh Has Comforted His People, And Will Have Mercy Upon His Afflicted”.
¹⁵ “Can A Woman Forget Her Nursing Child, That She Should Not Have Compassion On The Child Of Her Womb, Yes, They May Forget, Yet Will I Not Forget You”.
¹⁶ “See, I Have Inscribed You On The Palms Of My Hands”.

So Much Emphasis Is On Yahweh’s Mercy That He Wrote A Whole Chapter About It ~ (Psalm 136:1-26). In Fact, Enter Here To See Just How Many Other Passages Of Scriptures Talk About Yahweh’s Mercy.

But Yahweh Demonstrates His Own Love Toward Us, In That While We Were Still Sinners, Christ Died For Us, (Romans 5:8).  Let Me Show You What I Mean.

Romans 5:10 ~ For If While We Were Enemies We Were Reconciled To God Through The Death Of His Son, It Is Much More [Certain], Now That We Are Reconciled, That We Shall Be Saved (Daily Delivered From Sin’s Dominion) Through His [Resurrection] Life.

Colossians 1:21~ Once You Were Alienated From God
And Were Hostile In Your Minds Because Of Your Evil Deeds.

Immediately, I Thought About My Mom Dressing Me In A Raincoat And Galoshes As I Walked A Half Mile To School As A Young Boy.  I Got To School Dry, Because I Was Properly Equipped For The Rain.  This Is What Mom’s Do.  Mom’s Prepare Little Boys To Grow Up And Become Carpenters, Doctors or Writers.  Mom’s Endow Their Young Girls To Blossom Into Astronauts, Rocket Scientists or Mothers And HomeMakers Themselves, Raising Other Little Boys And Girls.

Mother’s Equip Us For Success By Showing Us Love And UnConditional Acceptance, And At Times Nudging Us Onward Even As Simba’s Mom Nudged Him In, “The Lion King”, To Go Be Like His Dad.  Yahweh And Mom’s Encourage Us To Our Potential Despite What Appears To Be Another Failure.

When A Small Baby Just Starts Walking And Falls Down, The Mother Is Just So Proud That The Child Tried At ALL, You Don’t Hear Criticism But Exaltation And Praise Until The Child Has Mastered That Ability.

The Same Is True ALL The Way Through Their Childhood.  Why Does Most Every President That I Know Of Always Bring His Mom To The Forefront.  Perhaps, UnSeen To Us, She Gave Him The Confidence To Go On To Be What He Has Become.  She Was The Motivating Source Of His Encouragement.  Despite Paul’s Blunders You Might Be Surprised To See How Yahweh Enabled And Viewed Paul.

1 Timothy 1:12-16.
¹² And I Thank Christ Jesus Our Lord, Who Hath Enabled Me, For That He Counted Me Faithful, Putting Me Into The Ministry;
¹³ Who Was Before A Blasphemer, And A Persecutor, And Injurious: But I Obtained Mercy, Because I Did It Ignorantly In Unbelief.
¹⁴ And The Grace Of Our Lord Was Exceeding Abundant With Faith And Love Which Is In Christ Jesus.
¹⁵ This Is A Faithful Saying, And Worthy Of All Acceptance, That Christ Jesus Came Into The World To Save Sinners; Of Whom I Am Chief.
¹⁶ However, For This Cause I Obtained Mercy, That In Me First Jesus Christ Might Show Forth All Longsuffering, For A Pattern To Them Which Should Hereafter Believe On Him To Life Everlasting.

After, I Looked Up The Word Equip, at Ephesians 4:12, The Word In The King James Translation Was Interpreted As, “Perfecting”.  The Same Word Was Translated As, “Equipping” and This Word Above Was Katarismos, (Strong’s # 2677).

Katartizo Is The Same Word Used In Matthew 4:21; And Mark 1:19 For Mending As In Mending Their Nets, (They Weren’t Tossing Their Nets In The Trash, Just Because They Had A Hole In Them).  What I Did Not Know Until Then, Was That Katartizo Is The Same Word Used In Luke 6:40 For, “Perfectly”, or That This Is The Same Word Translated In Galatians 6:1 As, “Restore”.  To Mend Means To Restore To Its Original Quality, To Make Perfect.

Philemon 1:6 ~ That The Sharing Of Your Faith May Become Effective By The Acknowledgment Of Every Good Thing Which Is In You In Christ Jesus.

People Are Influenced Not By Those They Believe In, But By Those That Believe In Them.  God Believes In You.  It Is So Easy To Read The Word Of God And To Think It Is Talking About Someone Else.  It Is Taking About You.  Tap or Click Here To Learn More About Yahweh Is Not Mad At You~!

Ezekiel 18:23
Do I Actually Delight In The Death Of The Wicked, Declares The Sovereign Lord?  Do I Not Prefer That They Turn From Their Wicked Conduct And Live?

The Answer Is That God Does Not Cause This Suffering.  Mankind Causes This Due To The Hardness Of His Heart.  It Is The Result Of The Evil In People’s Hearts To Live Their Lives Without God.  His Great Mercy Is Extended To All Equally, And He Waits Patiently For All To Accept It, (2 Timothy 2:26).

Matthew 5:45,
So That You May Be Like Your Father In Heaven, Since He Causes The Sun To Rise On The Evil And The Good, And Sends Rain On The Righteous And The Unrighteous.

Romans 2:4
Or Do You Have Contempt For The Wealth Of His Kindness, Forbearance, And Patience, And Yet Do Not Know That God’s Kindness Leads You To Repentance?

2 Peter 3:9
Yahweh Is Not Slow Concerning His Promise, As Some Regard Slowness, But Is Being Patient Toward You, Because He Does Not Wish For Any To Perish But For All To Come To Repentance.

Psalm 1:1–6

¹ How Blessed Is The One Who Does Not Follow The Advice Of The Wicked, or Stand In The Pathway With Sinners, or Sit In The Assembly Of Scoffers~!
² Instead They Find Pleasure In Obeying Yahweh’s Commands; They Meditates On His Commands Day And Night.
³ They Are Like A Tree Planted By Flowing Streams; It Yields Its Fruit At The Proper Time, And Its Leaves Never Fall Off.  They Succeed In Everything They Attempt.
⁴ Not So With The Wicked~! Instead They Are Like Wind-Driven Chaff.
⁵ For This Reason The Wicked Cannot Withstand Judgment, Nor Can Sinners Join The Assembly Of The Godly.
⁶ Certainly Yahweh Guards The Way Of The Godly, But The Way Of The Wicked Ends In Destruction.

Nevertheless, When The Point Is Reached That A Person or Persons, By An Act Of Their Will, Decide To Never Change From Serving Evil (Satan) To Serving Good (God), Then The Only Thing Left Is A Judgment Of Wrath That Will Keep Them That Have Chosen To Serve Satan From Affecting The Mercy To Be Received By Those That Have Chosen To Serve God.

Psalm 36:1–4

¹ An Evil Person Is Rebellious To The Core.  They Do Not Fear God
² For They Are Too Proud To Recognize And Give Up His Sin.
³ The Words They Speak Are Sinful And Deceitful; They Do Not Care About Doing What Is Wise And Right.
⁴ They Plan Ways To Sin While They Lie In Bed; They Are Committed To A Sinful Lifestyle; They Do Not Reject What Is Evil.  {Compare With Proverbs 4:16-17}

Psalm 55:19
God, The One Who Has Reigned As King From Long Ago, Will Hear And Humiliate Them, (Selah).  They Refuse To Change, And Do Not Fear God.

Psalm 34:14–16

¹⁴ Turn Away From Evil And Do What Is Right~!  Strive For Peace And Promote It~!
¹⁵ Yahweh Pays Attention To The Godly And Hears Their Cry For Help.
¹⁶ But Yahweh Opposes Evildoers And Wipes Out All Memory Of Them From The Earth.

That Is, The Mercy For The Future Of Those Who Have Chosen To Serve God Trumps The Present Mercy Extended To All, Resulting In The Removal And Incarceration Of Those Who Have Chosen To Serve Evil.

Proverbs 18:5
It Is Terrible To Show Partiality To The Wicked, By Depriving A Righteous Man Of Justice.

Isaiah 26:10
If The Wicked Are Shown Mercy, They Do Not Learn About Justice.  Even In A Land Where Right Is Rewarded, They Act Unjustly; They Do Not See Yahweh’s Majesty Revealed.

Proverbs 15:9
Yahweh Abhors The Way Of The Wicked, But He Loves Those Who Pursue Righteousness.

Psalm 11:5
Yahweh Approves Of The Godly, But He Hates The Wicked And Those Who Love To Do Violence.

Psalm 119:155
The Wicked Have No Chance For Deliverance, For They Do Not Seek Your Statutes.

Psalm 145:20
Yahweh Protects Those Who Love Him, But He Destroys All The Wicked.

Psalm 104:35
May Sinners Disappear From The Earth, And The Wicked Vanish~!  Praise Yahweh, O My Soul~!  Praise Yahweh~!

1 Corinthians 16:22–23

²² Let Anyone Who Has No Love For Yahweh Be Accursed.  Our Lord, Come~!
²³ The Grace Of Yahweh Jesus Be With You.

Remember, Refusal Of The Greater Mercy Leaves Only The Wrath. The Wicked Have Decided To Never Change From Evil To Good, Unrighteous To Righteous, And Wicked To Godly.  There Is No Mercy For The Wicked.
