THE GOOD NEWS

 

In an Anne Murray song

Some 30 years ago or so

Ann sang,

“We sure could use

A little good news today”

 

Do you ever feel that way

That you could use a little good news

TODAY

 

I know that I do

 

In Mark I                                                              Mark 14 & 15

After John was arrested

Jesus said,

“The time has come

The Kingdom of God is near

Repent and believe the good news”

 

In this hopeless world

That we live in

 

I think that that is good news

That God is as near

As our hearts

As alive---as we let him be

Within us

 

“Taste and see

That the Lord is good

Blessed is the man

Who takes refuge in him”                                          Psalm 34:8

 

The good news

Is that God is alive

In today’s world

Living inside of his believers

Inside of those

Who choose to live by LOVE

And the values of God

 

“Trust in the Lord

And do good

Dwell in the land

And enjoy safe pasture

 

Delight yourself in the Lord

And he will give you

The desire of your heart”                                              Psalm  33:3-4

 

We sure could use

A little good news today

 

“Come follow Me”                                                           Mark 1:17

 

So the next time

That you watch

The morning or evening news

 

And you see stories of murder, rape, child abuse,

And Lord knows what else

 

                          REMEMBER

 

You are a CHILD OF GOD

A God that loves each of us individually---

ALL of collectively

With a never-ending---ever-lasting love

An unconditional love

That nothing and NO ONE can take away

 

The good news is as close

As our own heart

 

BELIEVE THE GOOD NEWS
