Inspired by Luke 3:1-6
When the time was right,
when God’s time was perfect,
the Word of God came to John,
Son of Zechariah.
The word of God came to John
in the wilderness.
John traveled everywhere,
all around Jordon,
speaking of change.
Repentance.
New birth.
New life.
Re-creation.
God’s forgiveness.
His words echoed the preaching
of the prophet Isaiah.
From the wilderness,
from a place that seemed to be empty.
Lost.
Comes a voice.
Get ready.
Prepare your lives for change.
Open your hearts to hear the word of God.
What stands in your way?
What is between you and your God?
Low places will be filled.
Impossible obstacles will be brought down.
Blind curves will disappear
And the desperate, terrible times
Will be made passable by the presence of God.
Everyone, everywhere, will know God.
All shall be reborn.
We shall know it together.
