My hope for you

Poetry speaks to our minds and hearts and is meant to communicate more than the sum of its words. It is an apt expression of our walk with the Lord. I encourage you to forward this link to those you love. I pray this poetry leads you into reflection and prayer but I also want to start a conversation. You, too, have something to share with others-not only in person, but also here. Your experience is yours to give away to build up and learn from others in the Body of Christ. Share the word that you hear, the experiences you have lived. We are all part of the New Evangelization.If you also want to contact me by email, feel free: genefirn@yahoo.com

The Real Pandemic

you will not hear this Truth 
proclaimed in your media-for
it does not fit their narrative that
Sin is the Real Pandemic-
the true killer of life not only of 
your body but-more importantly-
your soul-for each of you has been 
created to share in My Divine Life-
the Life of the Holy Trinity-
Our Very Nature- forever to
experience True Love basking in
the Peace / Joy that necessarily 
come from Loving / Being Loved 
as you are-Divinized for all Eternity-
however My enemy and therefore 
yours as well has corrupted your nature
through his deception of your ancestral
beginnings leaving you vulnerable to
lies / accusations / temptations to Sin
and all its consequences-decisions that 
can be mortal not only to your body but
also to your eternal soul because serious 
matters have serious ramifications which
led Me to Accept the Father's Calling to
place upon Myself your Just Penalty of
Death which lead to My Victory over 
Sin and Death by My Resurrection to New
Life.which you too shall share if you Follow 
the hard Narrow Way so Clearly / Simply 
laid out for you in My Word and only a 
few find but.. if you follow the easy Wide 
Way-the way of this fallen world and its 
Prince which many find- you shall
share his eternal death in flames yet... I 
have not left you on your own to struggle 
in your weakness for I have also Given 
you My Spirit to Lead and Strengthen you 
in order to Live out My Calling...you are
free to Choose... to Accept or Reject My 
Offer as the Only Real Antidote to Sin but
also realize this...your enemy knows your
weakness as well- his deceptions have led 
to your disordered desires- runaway attractions 
of the flesh-susceptibility to the lures of this
world which promote the false gods of wealth...
fame...power...pleasure leading to choices 
which enthrone your rebellious 'self' as the 
lord of your own little kingdom and thereby
destroying My Presence within you so Beware...
the Virus which destroys life in this world and 
the next is Sin...it is Only through My Cross 
and Resurrection that you...
-can follow Me as your Lord and Savior
-are saved from Sin and Death
-overcome your weakness
-can Love one another as I have Loved you 
 by conquering hatred / anger / resentment /
 the pride of life through repentance and 
 forgiveness- for the goal is not power but 
 Unity of mind and heart with Me
-find Peace / Joy in this life and Infinitely 
 in the next...for My Word says... 
"I have been crucified with Christ and the 
Life I live now is not my own; Christ is 
living within me. I still live my human life,
but it is a life of faith in the Son of God, who
loved me and gave Himself up for me"...so
'Repent and believe the Gospel'...

Reflection / Discussion:

-What does 'Divinized' mean?
-What is the 'Narrow Way' and the 'Wide Way'?
-Why is the Narrow Way 'hard' and only a 'few' find' it?
-Why is  the Wide Way 'easy' and 'many' find it?
-Do these facts motivate you in any way?  How?
-How does 'by their fruit you will know them' apply here?-
-What does 'disordered desires' mean?
-How are you nourishing this New Life each day?
-What else can you do to nourish this Life?
-How does the Holy Spirit help you love others?
-What does it take to overcome anger / resentment in your life?
-Can you forgive others if they do not accept responsibility for their actions? Why / not?
-What does it mean to 'follow Jesus as your Lord and Savior'? 
-If you haven't made that commitment, please, do it now.
