“The Most Important Sermon”
In the Sermon
On the Mount
Our Lord says
“Blessed are the poor in spirit
For theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven”
But who are
The poor in spirit
I dear say
It is us
All of us
Because
We are chasing
The wrong things
Most of us
Are chasing lives
Built on wealth, fame, status, and fortune
But these things
Will not fill us up
Nature abhors a vacuum
And we
Must fill our lives with something
I suggest
We try to
Fill our lives
With love
Love of God
And
Love of others
Only then
Can our spirit be filled
Only then
Can we
Be no longer poor in spirit
We need to
Let go of yesterday
We need to
Focus on the present
We need to
Let the Lord possess us
God’s gift is today
Today is the most important day
Of our lives
By focusing on love
We might find that
We are no longer poor in spirit
And by focusing on love
We might find that
The Kingdom of God
Is not only in heaven
But right here on this earth.
