MY MEDITATION

 
I think of Jesus as the Light
That struggles to enter our hearts.
Many have opened up to it but
There is a resistance by some.
I see Him hanging on the cross.
God chose the Romans to do this.
It was His purpose for them so that
The gates of heaven would be open to us.
I think of our sins:  Anger, disobedience,
Injury to others, abandonment of duty
And wonder if these offences were worth 
The agony, the scourging at the pillar, 
The crowning with the thorns, and the 
Carrying of the cross.  We are weak.
Thankfully we have a loving Father,
Who gave us His Son.  The Son taught
Us and left us with the Holy Spirit
To be with us as we travel through
Life with the tendency to fail and fall.
Today, as I look out the window, I see
Leaves falling, birds flying and a bright
Sun often shrouded by clouds.
I think of magnificence, wonder and
Realize how we fall short of our
Potential and how much we have
To learn.  Out thankfulness should
Lean to opportunity to give of 
Ourselves to improve condition.
A small price for all that we
Have been given.
