" A Heart Of Flesh" Poem by Dr. Antony Theodore

" A Heart Of Flesh"

Rating: 5.0


God wants to give
each of us a 'heart of flesh'
so that we will be pliable
and responsive to Him.

When touched
by the finger of God,
a tender heart yields
to the pressure
and assumes the form
He desires, much like
a lump of clay
that allows the potter
to determine
the shape of the vessel.


(Reference to
Ezekiel 36: 25-28 New International Version (NIV)
25 „I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your impurities and from all your idols.
26 I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.27 And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws.28 Then you will live in the land I gave your ancestors; you will be my people, and I will be your God'.
