Monday the 28th

I am back up and running…..well at least in some form!

 

Matthew 13: ¹⁵For this people's heart has become calloused; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts and turn, and I would heal them.

 

As I always say, the more things change the more they stay the same. Today we also hardly hear. The truth is often painful to hear, the truth can be a very ugly sight. The world tells us to close our ears, and close our eyes. When we do this we serve the world well. It will not be the great rulers of great nations that will destroy this world. It will be the indifference of good men and women. The Lord reminds us where to seek the truth, where we can hear it, and see it. All it takes is to turn to the Lord. When we decide to live our lives with open eyes, and open ears, something else is opened, it is our hearts. An open heart will turn to the Lord, and that heart will be healed, it will be forgiven, and it will be filled with the love, the peace and the understanding that only our Savior can provide. Living with our eyes open means that we will see things that we don’t like, and often those things will be seen in the mirror looking back at us, the sounds we hear might just be the sounds of pain that  we cause to those around us. When we allow ourselves to be healed, indifference is no longer an option, if one thing counts….it all counts.  Those around us can be seen for what they are, brothers, and sisters in Christ. Soften your heart, and allow the Lord to work His wonders through you. Open your eyes, and see the life that the Lord has laid before you. Open your ears and hear the heavens sing the praises of the Lord. Allow yourself to be healed, so that you might help heal those around you!

 

 

God Bless,
