Hope in deed


Matthew 13:44 

Parables on the Kingdom of Heaven

44 “The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure, hidden in a field, that a person found and hid. Then because of joy he went and sold all that he had and bought that field.

 

Question

 

Is it much easier to talk ... than to live

hope in deed, in mind and heart?

Is it more difficult to receive than to give

in the world’s flow near and far?

 

Where do words spring up ... and keep on flowing?

Why is there this hunger ... to search out true purpose?

Is it hidden deep within ... from the moment of temporal

and what Adam left behind ... that now stimulates us?

 

Is the spirit of man not dead after all ... just in a deep coma?

Not able to move as such ... as thoughts still bubble up.

I know the recognition of spiritual life has disappeared somehow

as spirits of darkness claim the ones ... Christ does not raise up.

 

“Mystery of mysteries” ... is now an open book

to be read and inspire ... by each one it treasures.

Blindness now removed ... replaced by the inside look

that the Holy Spirit brings ... to the redeemed in measure …
