Seeking Goodly Pearls
Lily Among Thorns
Memories, [1] Chapter 1, Page 6
I was desperately seeking for a word of encouragement, and thereby I prayed at the time what seemed like a simple enough prayer and asked my Father God, in Jesus’s name, to always show me the truth. But what I thought to be an uncomplicated request would change my life forever.

John 14:6′ Jesus saith unto him, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. I was comforted by God’s blessed assurance as it is written in Hebrews 6:11, ‘And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end.”

Holy Scriptures
1st Peter 5:8-11, Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour; Whom resist steadfast in faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. But the God of all grace, who has called us unto his eternal glory by Jesus Christ, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you. To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

[2] Author’s Commentary
This day and time around in history will be unparalleled in its treachery, and there will be no place to hide as it is written in Matthew 24:21, For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no nor ever shall be.
And although Lily knows living in the ‘End of Days,’ in her future there is a good possibility of a direct confrontation with the ‘Wicked Regime’s’ futile rebellion against God.
Lily is certain in mind of the established validity of Bible Prophecy, and the coming Kingdom of God. And as is her custom Lily seeks out the wisdom of the Scriptures as it is written in Proverbs 8: 17, I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.
[1] Author’s Commentary
The title of this Chapter is Memories. The character Lily in this chapter often times finds herself trying to reconcile the burdensome memories of the past conflicting with the “Perilous Times” of the present. The consequences thereof as history inevitably always manages to repeat itself. Lily concludes as it is written in Ecclesiastes 1:9, The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. The Wicked ideology of the ‘Son of Perdition’ is on the march in the first decades of the Twenty-first Century, and with the fulfillment of the Scriptures steadily drawing nearer to being fulfilled by the day.
Lily knows in conclusion by remaining faithful to her beliefs, she is under the constant threat via invasive technology intruding a person’s biological physicality in order to buy or sell, which the Bible refers to as the ‘Mark of the Beast’ is soon to become the new norm, and as compared to the times of tribulation in the previous known history
