The Hard Hearted Man

The hard hearted man gives thanks to him self As he Pats himself on the back He takes credit for all that he has Never once acknowledging God He says I am the master of my life I am the king of my domain There is no God you'll hear him say I'm the only one in control He celebrates Christmas He celebrates Easter But only to eat and to give and get presents He could care less for Christ's birth and resurrection You might hear him say Jesus did some good things But that's all you'll get From the hard hearted man The hard hearted man is easy to spot He has no peace he clings to earthly joy And with in his soul is a deep empty void If he would except there is a God And except Jesus Christ He'd be a soft hearted man With a powerful life Inspired by a comment from Victor Buhagiar On my poem Let your heart sing.

Oh to soften hearts! To cross the line from death to life! To feel each day renewed! Oh hardened heart, what were you missing! My dad hears his daughters talk about spiritual experiences and asks why they don't happen to him. Because he has to believe! God is good, my friend! <3

Thank you Kim for commenting on my poem. And yes God is good it's a shame that more people don't realize that. As far as your dad just keep sharing Jesus and the good news of salvation through him and if it's God's will your dad will open his heart and let Christ in. All in Gods time my friend have a blessed day and I will say a prayer for your dad.
