HIS WORDS=COMING ALIVE IN US

 

HIS WORDS=COMING ALIVE IN US

 

Jesus promised us

That WHEN we come to him

With a strong DESIRE=for him

To be our FRIEND

 

That his love for us

And our DEEPEST LONGINGS

Would be fulfilled

 

He promises us

That his WORDS=

That his life and love

WILL COME ALIVE!=in us

 

“I am the BREAD of life=

Whoever comes to me

Will never hunger

 

And whoever BELIEVES in me

Will never thirst”                                                                                                                    John 6:35

 

SCRIPTURE and Jesus’ words

Have a deep personal MEANING

In my life

 

They inspire me to PRAY-

They inspire me to WRITE

They inspire me=

JESUS’ WORDS SURE DO

They come alive in me

They COME ALIVE IN US!

 

“Fix these WORDS

Of mine=in your hearts

And minds

 

Tie them as symbols

On your hands

And bind them=on your foreheads”                                                                                    Deuteronomy 11:18

 

“How sweet=are your WORDS

To my taste-

Sweeter than honey

To my mouth”                                                                                                                 Psalm 119:103

 

“Simon Peter answered him’=

‘Lord to whom

Shall we go?

 

You have the WORDS

Of eternal life’”                                                                                                                        John 6:68

 

It is NOT enough

To merely listen

To his words

 

We have to LET THEM

PENETRATE into our hearts=

We have to let them

Penetrate into our souls

 

Let GOD’S WORDS=let Jesus’ words

COME ALIVE in you

Come alive in your soul

 

Let them=make a difference

In our world

In your world

 

“After his suffering-

He presented himself

To them

 

And gave many=convincing proofs

That he was ALIVE”                                                                                                            Acts 1:3

 

“For as in Adam=all die

So in Christ-

All will be made ALIVE”                                                                                       1 Corinthians 15:22

 

“For the WORD OF GOD

IS ALIVE and active

 

Sharper than=any double-edged sword

It penetrates

Even to dividing soul and spirit…….”                                                                   Hebrews 4:12

 

JESUS’ WORDS

Transform our lives=let them GROW

With greater meaning and joy

In your life

 

Let Jesus’ words

COME ALIVE IN YOU!=

In us

 

In Jesus’ name=and in the name=of our ever living-thoughtful HOLY FATHER!
