How true this is. We always thing a head of time, waiting for pay day or waiting time to leave work. We think about a special day can't wait until that day comes. We forget to live in the present. We loss time thay we can never get back. And that is sad. Like today I woke up at 8am but didn't get out of bed until 12pm because I felt like I didn't have anything to do today but work at 3pm. That is sad. This poem reminds me to enjoy the morning hours. To enjoy the day.
This took place at Beach Retreat! I was there! Was so inspiring the first time I ever heard it. I hope it was as effective on my students as it was on me.
YYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!! So glad you guys posted the video from this. Thank you!!!! So true, and so convicting. May God change our hearts and actions.
Yes, the Scriptures do speak of God as all loving, but it also presents him as all holy and all good. These three absolute attribute give us a complete sense of who God is. Because He is all holy, when we sin, we, in fact, are at enmity with His holiness. We are at enmity with His love. The problem here is that we don't realize, first, the implications of His holiness, and an extremely warped view of God's love. Today, loves definition means tolerance and acceptance.
I added music to this GREAT poem "Be Present" - my gift to you Propaganda: soundcloud.com/nathan-sherlock/be-present. I have NOT setup this song for download on SoundCloud - looking to send the original MP3 and/or Cubase file to Propaganda.
The Biblical definition of love is 1 Corinthians 13, "Love is patient, Love is Kind..." God's love in that He remains patient with us in our wickedness, and was kind enough to send His Son to pay the penalty in full of our being in sin. The problem is that we cannot fathom, in our human minds, the depths of our depravity. We have a very belittled view of sin and its consequences.
