(no subject)
and we are the body of Christ
but if we are the body
why aren't His arms reaching?
why aren't His hands healing?
why aren't His words teaching?
and if we are the body
why aren't His feet going?
why is His love not showing
them there is a way?
this song convicts me every time i listen to it. if Jesus' love is not being shown to those around me it's because i refuse to reach out because i'm scared to stand out and really really show love to those who need it (a.k.a. everyone). if people around me haven't heard His truth, it's because my mouth doesn't open and say it. this is a big deal. i tend to downplay it in my mind, but this is about eternity... as in, forever. about souls that i love and care about. after all, i was not called to blend in and stay quiet and mind my own business... i was called to shine like a star [daniel 12:3 and philippians 2:14-16a].
haha, it's funny i've only been awake for 45 minutes and this topic just weighed so much on my heart that i had to post about it. i mean, i looked for my real handwritten journal but it has disappeared for a time.
i hope everyone's enjoying the spring weather... april is possibly the best month ever. (may is a pretty close second.) ooh gracious, i'm supposed to meet my friend for breakfast at 9:45! i've gotta go shower! or maybe i'll shower after breakfast...
love y'all :)
