On Our Hearts

 On our Hearts

God has been writing His law on my heart since the day that I was born. 

I remember not a time, when He spoke to me even in the womb where I was formed. 

As a child I preached to the chickens and baptized the cat in the ditch. 

He spoke to me as a child and has been with me ever since. 

God has been teaching me since that very first day 

How to love my neighbor and how to pray. 

His hand has rested up on me in everything I ever did. 

Yes, I believe I was anointed by Him even as a kid. 

God writes his law on our hearts, that is the new covenant way. 

He changes our heart and transforms us with each passing day. 

But sometimes we fight him in the process because it brings us pain. 

His hand is changing us as he incribes his law giving us a new name. 

God chooses us and redeems us from our life of sin. 

But it is him working in our hearts changing us within. 

When we fail and fall on our face in guilt and shame. 

That is how we learn to live His law, love and grace to sustain. 

God has been writing his law on my heart throughout all my years. 

He has rejoiced in my triumphs and in hard times wiped away my tears. 

He has changed my heart to do only what I see Him do. 

So that it’s him you will see in me and nothing that I do. 

God is writing His law on our hearts, He promised that He would. 

He is preparing us for a day ahead so many have not understood. 

But it is a day of rejoicing in the Kingdom soon to come 

When we will all live in the Kingdom and reign with His son.

“Behold the days are coming” says the Lord “when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah. Not like the covenant I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt. My covenant which they broke, although I was a husband to them,” says the Lord. But this is the covenant that I will make with them after those days,’ says the Lord. I will put my law within them and I will write it on their hearts. I will be their God and they will be my people.”

And each man will no longer teach his neighbor and his brother saying know the Lord. For the will all know me from the least of them to the greatest, says the Lord For I will forgive their wickedness, and I will no longer remember their sin.  Jer 31:31-34
