Ezekiel 36:26
King James Version
26 A new heart also will I give you,
and a new spirit will I put within you:
and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh,
and I will give you an heart of flesh.
Don't you love wide, open spaces?
Where you don't have to be hit by "low-flying" golf balls?
Where you can have a simple picnic, with no flies, mosquitoes, or insects bothering you?
Where children can play freely, even without the usual playground amenities?
Where they can fly a kite, play badminton, drink lemonade, run to their hearts' content?
Where all you can see is the vast sky, and grass, on a cool, agreeable day?
And some tree, for potential cover, should it start raining, or if it gets too hot?
Are there such places?
Where you don't have to worry if someone will mug you, rob you, run over you, or bother you?
Or start chatting, when all you want is peace, and quiet?
Or not be bothered by electronic noise from people using their phones all the time?
And you don't have to worry looking your best, for obligatory selfies, and such?
Is there such a place, a small piece of heaven, you can call your own?
Even if you don't own it, but know of such a place to go to?
And not have to worry about bills, or maintaining a so-called normal life?
What kind of life have we created for ourselves?
What kind of existence have we created for each other?
What kind of world have we created for our children, and future generations?
It is a life, of freedom?
Or a life, of slavery?
A gilded existence?
Or a true existence?
A world where we can truly breathe?
Where people can blossom, doing the work they're cut out for?
Where everyone is valued for their work, no matter how humble?
Where people treat each other with love, care, and respect?
Where you are not measured, by how much you own, or earn?
Where you can roam, dream, rest -- unimpeded -- for a change?
Where people seek GOD, above all?
Is such a thing possible?
It is.
If you love GOD.
You will do all you can, to live by the Bible.
And to seek GOD's TRUTH alone.
Learning to love, as JESUS taught us.
Looking upon each other, from the tenderness of your heart.
Not seeking the things of the world.
Because you know, those things don't matter.
You only care to be with JESUS.
So, look around you.
Do the buildings, institutions, monuments, businesses, and everything man-made really love you?
Do their designers love you?
Or, were they created to control you, enslave you, marginalize you?
I think you know the answer.
It's time to become born again now.
That you may really see.
