Lightbulb If.......

A song by Casting Crowns that I heard again today and made me soooooo yearn for people who say they love God and are CHRISTian, to start showing that love and CHRISTlike attitude to others more, instead of so often showing contempt, superiority and an insensitivity that is so not what I see when I look at the example Jesus set of compassion, understanding, sensitivity, humility, love.................

Quote:
It's crowded in worship today
As she slips in
Trying to fade into the faces
The girls' teasing laughter is carrying farther than they know
Farther than they know


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
There is a way

A traveler is far away from home
He sheds his coat
And quietly sinks into the back row
The weight of their judgmental glances tells him that his chances
Are better out on the road


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

Jesus paid much too high a price
For us to pick and choose who should come

And we are the Body of Christ

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

Jesus is the way

Cheri, you really have a gift when it comes to picking out songs and stories which inspire me. And here you've done it again. I hope you never stop being you and sharing the things which touch your heart.

Thank you

Music is a vital force in my life and God often speaks to me so clearly through it.


Praying each of us will show His love to all we come in contact with.
