NO MATTER WHAT!=OPENING OUR HEARTS!

 

NO MATTER WHAT!

(OPENING OUR HEARTS)

 

WE LIVE in a tough-

Cruel world=in

The year of 2022=but

It wasn’t much different

WHEN Jesus was alive

 

But=NO MATTER WHAT!

Jesus kept his heart

ALWAYS OPEN=

Willing to HELP anyone

Along the path=the road of HIS LIFE

 

We should be LIVING

That way too=

With our hearts OPEN

NO MATTER WHAT!

 

“……..(And you yourself=

A sword will pierce)

 

So that=the thoughts

Of MANY HEARTS=will be revealed”                                                                                        Luke 2:35

 

I WONDER if Mary

Was reminded of this PROPHECY

When Jesus was=BEING CRUCIFIED

 

WITH LOVE=

Comes the pain

And the suffering=

But Jesus and Mary=LIVED

Through it all

 

With their hearts WIDE OPEN

NO MATTER WHAT!

 

“Or someone may be

Chastened=on a bed OF PAIN

 

With constant distress

In their bones”                                                                                                             Job 33:19

 

“A woman giving birth

To a child=HAS PAIN

Because her time has come

 

But when her baby

Is born

She forgets the anguish

 

Because of her joy

That a child=is born into

The world”                                                                                                                              John 16:21

 

SO MANY of my friends

Are living through PAIN

In their lives=right now

 

We all have PAIN=or see someone

LIVING THROUGH PAIN

Addictions=divorce=financial struggles

PAIN comes in all forms

 

But the CHALLENGE

For us=is to keep on

Living and loving=WITH OPEN HEARTS

NO MATTER WHAT!

 

The TRIUMPH in this life

Is keeping your heart OPEN

To love=NO MATTER WHAT!

 

“Create in me=

A pure HEART=O God

And renew=a steadfast spirit

Within me”                                                                                                                             Psalm 51:10

 

“Trust in the Lord

WITH ALL YOUR HEART=and lean not

On your own understanding”                                                                                       Proverbs 3:5

 

So this year

This year of 2023

NO MATTER WHAT!=our pain

 

Let us find a WAY

To keep on=OPENING OUR HEARTS=

NO MATTER WHAT!

 

In Jesus’ name=and in the name=of our FOREVER LOVING=Holy Father God!
