HEARING THE WORD OF GOD

“Hearing the Word of God”

 

In the 13th Chapter

Of Saint Matthew’s Gospel

Jesus tells the story

Of the parable of the sower

 

He tells the story

Of a farmer

Sowing his seed

 

He tells us about

How the birds

Eat up some of the seed

 

And he tells us

How some of the seed

Fall on rocky ground

And doesn’t grow

And some fall in the thorns

And don’t grow

But some of the seed falls on good soil

And produces a great harvest

 

What about us

In today’s world

Is God harvesting

A crop in us

 

I dear say

We live in a godless society

People want the word “God” off of money

People want no prayer in school

No ten commandments plaque on public property

 

Maybe

We can’t change the world

But we can

Have a soft heart

We can have

A listening ear

We can give someone

A hug or a handshake

WE can be there

For our family, our friends

Maybe even someone

We don’t like so much

 

How about you

Is God’s love and word

Alive in you

 

Maybe if

Enough of us

Decide to put God’s word first

Decide to love and be kind to one another

Maybe we really can

Begin to change the world
