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.
