A TIME=TO TURN TOWARDS GOD
I don’t think
I have ever SEEN
Such a TIME=in this world
With so many HARD HEARTS
No one
Wants to give
ANYONE at all=an even break
“If today
You hear his voice
HARDEN not your hearts” Psalm
95:8
Isn’t it frustrating
WHEN we know
The right thing to do
And yet=we do the opposite?
Adam and Eve=didn’t listen
To God=and ate
From the Tree of Knowledge
HUMAN NATURE has been
Following their lead
Ever since=and
Acting with HARD HEARTS
We are acting=with anger
When we
Should be forgiving
We lie=when
We are wrong
Or when=it is CONVENIENT
For us
It is=or at least
It should be
A TIME=
TO TURN TOWARDS GOD
“Is anything=TOO HARD
For the Lord?
I will return to you
At the APPOINTED TIME
Next year
And Sarah
Will have a son”
Genesis 18:14
“Then Jesus
Said to his disciples’
‘Truly I tell you
It is HARD for someone
Who is rich=to enter
The kingdom of heaven”
Matthew 19:23
It is LENT
And it is A TIME
When we should be
Drawing CLOSER to God
A TIME=
TO TURN TOWARDS GOD
In today’s first reading
Jeremiah PREPARES=to call his people
BACK towards God
“Listen to my voice
Then I shall be
Your God
And you shall be=MY PEOPLE”
Jeremiah 7:23
GOD KNOWS us
BETTER than we know ourselves
He calls us=to repentance
And reconciliation with him
“For he is OUR GOD
And we are
The people he shepherds”
Psalm 95:7
HARDEN not your hearts
IT IS A TIME
TO TURN TOWARDS GOD
In Jesus’ name=and in the name=of our EVER RECEIVING=HOLY
FATHER GOD!
