A word once uttered is hard to take back,
because others have already swallowed it,
whether it tastes good or not,
whether it hurts feelings,
whether it causes joy or increases love.
So today, speak after your thoughts have been purified by God.
“What I say to you in the darkness, speak in the light;
what you hear whispered, proclaim on the housetops.”
Gospel of Matthew
Do you remember what it was to be very thirsty,
Where no liquid but water could quench it?
The way your body started to slow down, decisions became irritable and
you wanted to be somewhere cool, alone and with ice cold water.
The soul cries out for nourishment, notice God for one minute and you have prayed.
“Give thanks to the LORD on the harp;
with the ten-stringed lyre chant his praises.
Sing to him a new song;
pluck the strings skillfully, with shouts of gladness.”
Psalms
Imagine an insurance policy that provides a long term guarantee of eternal happiness just be signing up?
Requirements are not simple; to love others and have faith in Him.
Easy words, but with deep meanings.
Like the words, forever, eternity and joy.
“You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength. The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”
Gospel of Mark
