Issue of the heart


John 8:43-44 New English Translation (NET Bible)

43 Why don’t you understand what I am saying? It is because you cannot accept my teaching. 44 You people are from your father the devil, and you want to do what your father desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not uphold the truth, because there is no truth in him. Whenever he lies, he speaks according to his own nature, because he is a liar and the father of lies.

 

Let us take it easy because you are new at this

If you make this home we will celebrate the day

There will be lots of teasing just remember this

For folks really love to see you happy for today

 

You’ve come a long way back to where it all started

A well-defined circle on the path you wore to a frizzle

You had been there before with the dearly departed

Who left you behind in your comfort-zone without a chisel?

 

Loveless and love’s lace are almost spelled the same

You did not know the difference as you enjoyed both

Now you are all alone playing at the end of your game

Throwing a pity party and tearing your own clothes

 

Maybe after all of this hope is around the corner

All you have to do is turn completely around

The way you’re going brings more mourning

And that you cannot handle being a silly clown
