IF NOT, Y NOT????
'Y' Day...When I think of Y, I think of YOU, and God does too: "See, I have engraved YOU on the Palms of my Hands; YOUR Walls are Ever before Me. (Isaiah 49:16)
But YOU, as a word, in writing or speech, is generally frowned upon, for the very reason that YOU don't like being 'preached to', or told what to do. Most of us resent it when someone starts a sentence with YOU...To us, it's like the other person is telling us what we should be doing...And it is human nature to resent that. Like the saying goes, "When YOU'RE pointing YOUR finger at me, there's three others pointing back at YOU." YOU know what I mean?...LOL
In preparing for this post, I listened to Elvis Presley sing YOU SEND ME & YESTERDAY. He did a tremendous job on both, but I couldn't help but think that Jesus Sent me.... & YOU in His Great Commission He gave before ascending back to Heaven: Go YE into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature....And YESTERDAY, what a nostalgic song! We all have a tendency to dwell on the past, when times were less fast-paced, and perhaps a little gentler on our mind........But we (YOU) must 'Go Forward'...Today is the Tomorrow we (YOU) worried about YESTERDAY. LOL
There are a few songs with Y words that I love, like the chorus, YOU ARE MY GOD, which is so very awe-inspiring. Also, the song AT CALVARY, which starts off: YEARS I spent in vanity & pride; caring not my Lord was crucified.... and YOU ARE CROWNED WITH MANY CROWNS.....YES!
So, in 2012, I am resolving to use the more inclusive 'We' more often when communicating with others...We can do this...Don't YOU think? LOL
Genesis 3:5 ASV: "The Serpent said to the woman, 'YOU surely will not die!...For God knows that in the day YOU eat from it YOUR eyes will be opened, and YOU will be like God." Satan was speaking to Eve in the Garden of Eden. This was the 'first' temptation, for as we (YOU) know, Eve did eat of the 'one' tree God said not to, and Adam did also, allowing 'Sin'..(transgression of God's Law) to enter the world...Causing God to provide a way through His Son, and His Holy Bible to Redeem (Buy Back!) His 'Crowning Creation'...YOU & even me! Praise God!
Psalm 90:4 ASV: For a thousand YEARS in YOUR sight are like YESTERDAY when it passes by, or as a watch in the night.
Psalm 65:11 ASV: YOU have crowned the YEAR with YOUR bounty, and Your paths drip with fatness.
Matt.6:19-21 ASV: Do not store up for YOURSELVES treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for YOURSELVES treasures in Heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal; for where YOUR treasure is, there YOUR heart will be also.
Matt. 11:29-30 ASV: Take my YOKE upon YOU and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and YOU will find rest for YOUR souls, for my YOKE is easy and my burden is light. (There is No comparison between the YOKE of Sin and the YOKE of God...The first brings misery & death, the second, Joy & Life, both Now & Forever! Godspeed!)
