The Pharisees met Jesus and saw His miracles
but refused to believe
and instead plotted against Him.
Judas was a chosen disciple
who walked with Jesus.
Too many decide in their hearts
not to accept Jesus as their Savior.
Lord, show me those who don’t want to be saved
so I won’t waste time on them.
Instead, point me to those who are willing,
hungry, desperate, poor,
without hope in themselves
but grasping for straws.
Give me Your word
as a sword to cut through the disbelief
that You could ever save
a wretch like me.
We each receive
condemnation or justification
from our Creator, God,
based on our heart’s response
to the Spirit of God.
So many are willfully, deliberately blind,
totally unwilling to see
Jesus is our Savior.
The most impenetrable darkness
surrounds the one who refuses
to see the light.
In the world today,
we’re building a tower
much higher than Babel;
artificial intelligence
weaving its impervious web
over all but those who choose to see the light.
Just as staring at the sun too long
causes blind spots,
looking only at what we can do for ourselves
too soon leads to eternal blindness,
dead eyes that can no longer see
the glory of God.
Looking inward
to focus exclusively
on our own brilliance
causes our heart to shrink
like a withered orange,
hard, with no more juice left inside,
then like a walnut shell
whose meat is dried to stone
no longer good to eat.
We’re plugged into everything
except the source of life.
Our own batteries
will too soon die,
never to be recharged.
