Poetry by Jessica H

Okay, so I was a church this past Sunday and the choir began to sing a song called "Hear us from Heaven." Well, these lines from the chorus(Open the blind eyes. Unlock the deaf ears....Touch this generation...Crying out in desperation) just kept playing over and over in my head. When I got to think about it, why should this just refer to literal blind and deaf people. I was thinking that most of our generation is blind to the suffering in other parts of the world, and that we also need to let God just grant us his vision so that we can see his creation the way he see them. We are all quick to judge someone, but until we truly see them the way God sees them, we will never be able to justly judge someone.

I also was thinking how we need to block out all negativity and derogatory remarks about our faith and just listen to God. I mean, how many of just sit and listen to God. If you think that  God won't speak to you, you are so wrong. Maybe, he is just waiting for you to shut your mouth so he can speak.

And finally, our generation is in a desperate state and we need step up and save it from going to hell. But, God is the only one who can cause that change. We don't use God to make a change, he uses us.

Sorry, I just didn't know if the poem would make any sense if I didn't explain why I wrote it. Well, God bless.
