Healing our faith
Thoughts from being with a baby

The power of God’s word
They are all found in Living In God’s Rhyme except the last one which has not been published.
Discussion:
Have We Seen, Have We Heard, Are We Healed (Living In God’s Rhyme, pg. 47)
“Though seeing, they do not see,
though hearing they do not hear or
understand.
In them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah;
You will be ever hearing but never
understanding;
you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.
For 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,”
Matthew 13: 13-15
The heart keeps the body alive
Pumping blood through our veins
So in living we might thrive,
We might live without bodily pains.
But when calloused our heart becomes,
We seek wealth
Instead of health.
Our days become totals of our sums.
Our hearing, our sight
Do not hear or see the fight
As we run from the light
Into darkness.
This world has forsaken the light.
Living with our adulterous gods of money and sin,
Never knowing what should be right,
Never knowing that tomorrow we may not win.
We believe that the easy road leads to pleasure
As we follow our heart to find the treasure,
The satisfaction of believing we are good,
Not knowing we never really understood.
Have we heard someone speak
That as mere mortals we are weak?
Has someone ever taken our hand
And lifted us up to stand?
Has anyone asked you to listen, to look
At your yesterdays and todays to see what you took,
To see that we have no gain
For what we cause in a world of pain?
Someone please shout,
Shout the world about
About God’s saving grace
As we have we run this race.
Be healed,
Your fate sealed
By believing
And receiving
The Son
Of the one
And only God
Who loves us all.
Please,
Hear His call.
Reflection on Have We Seen, Have We Heard, Are We Healed”
Near the end of God’s Rhyme I noticed that the poetry was changing. There was more of the pain we cause God. I should correct that, more of the pain I cause God. It culminated with the last poem I wrote for the book, Broken Hearted. It was about how throughout Old Testament and New Testament history we have broken God’s heart. I think that God Still Rhymes has that in it also. In writing the third book I am finding that I am being led to continue that theme, that and the need for God in our...
