Heart Speaks

If I speak in fear, my heart will fill with holes,
Overcome my life; complicate my soul.

If I speak with jealousy, I'm just wasting time.
God put you on one path, he also gave me mine.

If I speak of past, my hurts, and my pains,
Never forgiving, my legacy is stained.

If I speak in lies, enjoying my deceptions,
Satan owns my tongue, without any exceptions.

If I speak in hate, I leave my good behind,
Thistles choke my heart; contaminate my mind.

If I speak in gossip, soon I'll discover,
My soul starts to wither; I may never recover.

If I speak in pride, shame will conquer me,
I'll be humiliated, for everyone to see.

But if I speak lovingly I am planting tiny seeds,
That one day may grow up, to be flowers instead of weeds.

Can your Heaven Wait?

My son recently took these pictures while flying above the clouds. This view especially touched me because it lends to the promise of the beauty that awaits us in Heaven.

Heaven is the gift that God made available to us all. He gave us his only son, Jesus Christ, and when he died upon the cross, he took with him each and every one of our sins. His death was an extreme payment for all we have done wrong and all we will do wrong in the future.

None of us can be perfect, no matter what we do or how hard we try. God knew this. So he provided us with a way out.

Will you take the Jesus way? Will you accept Christ's death on the cross as payment for your sins? The choice is yours; you have to make it.

I hope to see you all one day in Heaven.
