On Conditional Promises

We all desire a beautiful life,as glorious as a chocolate-cherry hibiscus in full bloom!But there are certain conditions necessary for flowers tobloom profusely, such as adequate sun and rain! So too,  there are conditions when it comes to a truly, beautiful life rich with spiritual blessings; the beauty of true hope, joy and peace Each of the preciously comforting promises below, (a few of many)  are conditional;God's part contingent on our response to Him,reserved for all who fear God and keep His commandments. (Eccles.12:13) Ps.145:18The LORD is near to all who call on Him,to all who call out to Him in truth. Ps.103:17-18But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlastingOn those who fear Him,And His righteousness to children’s children,To such as keep His covenant,And to those who remember His commandments to do them. Rom.8:1There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus,who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. Rom.8:28And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God,to those who are the called according to His purpose. Matt7:21“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven,but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. John 14:15-17“If you love Me, []keep My commandments. 16 And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another []Helper, that He may abide with you forever— 17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. In light of promises such as these, a prayer,(because God sees my heart and who/what I most truly worship)Without His help and righteousness, my faith is impossible to please Him! Lord, help me do my part to trust You and obeyThen You will satisfy my heart and hear me when I pray The comfort You instill grants joy and peace divineImpossible to know, until I yield my will to ThineYou are the God of hope; there is none besides TheeWithout You, Want is doomed to grope in faithless miseryBut with You, come what may, Your promises abideTo all who trust You and obey You faithfully provideAnd satisfy our need beyond our wildest kenYou hear our prayers and intercede with perfect love. Amen Janet Martin Rom15:13May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. My camera is on its last gasp!I'm so thankful it worked well enough to capturethis beauty before it fades
