IT IS NEAR!

 

IT IS NEAR!

 

Jesus was so SENSITIVE

To the world around him=

He saw a HURTING WORLD

Back then=and he sees one TODAY

 

A HURTING world=right now

I am SURE=he wants to

CHANGE THE WORLD

As much today=as he did some

2,000 years ago

 

For that reason

I feel God’s kingdom

Is near=IT IS NEAR!

 

His KINGDOM

Is the ONE CONSTANT

In this world=and his words

LAST FOREVER

 

“Heaven and earth

Will pass away=but my WORDS

Will last forever”                                                                                                                           Luke 21:33

 

Sensitive God=sensitive Jesus

To this world

 

In the GOSPEL today=

He shows his appreciation=and knowledge

For all of us

 

He knows that people

Are like TREES=and at times appear dead=

But they will BLOSSOM AGAIN

 

God’s kingdom is NEAR=

It lives in our HEARTS

It is =God is CLOSE

He LIVES in all of us

 

“The Lord is CLOSE

To the brokenhearted=

He saves those-

Who are crushed in spirit”                                                                                                     Psalm 34:18

 

“He tends his flock-

Like a shepherd=He gathers the lambs

In his arms

 

And carries them

CLOSE to his heart=

He gently leads those

That have young”                                                                                                    Isaiah 40:11

 

Jesus knows that IF

We are PATIENT with people=

Like trees=we will BLOOM again

 

And Jesus tells us

“THE KINGDOM OF GOD”

Is near

 

He knows that the Kingdom of God

Is NEAR=close

Living in our hearts

 

This is the ONE CONSTANT

Of/and in our lives=GOD’S KINGDOM

Jesus’ love is for us

It is BLOSSOM TIME

 

God’s kingdom can blossom

EVEN in difficult times

Times of turmoil-loss-and pain

It will GROW AGAIN

So RECOGNIZE

God and Jesus’ words

Will grow in you

 

“I planted the seed-

Apollos watered it=

But God has been

MAKING IT GROW”                                                                                                   1 Corinthians 3:6

 

“BUT GROW=in the grace

And knowledge of

Our Lord and Savior=Jesus Christ”                                                                               2 Peter 3:18

 

God=Jesus=is SENSITIVE

To your needs=in this world

 

IT IS NEAR!=and lives

In our hearts=it is the ONE

TRUE CONSTANT of our lives

 

May the PRESENCE of God

Live in you=IT IS NEAR!

 

In Jesus’ name=and in the name=of our ever NEAR=and always LOVING Holy Father God

Who lives in OUR HEARTS
