The closer I get to Jesus,and read His word and get to know His heart…..the more I allow my heart to break for what breaks His.
So,then comes a sobering realization.
I am at a crossroads in my life.
a crisis of faith where I now need to ask myself the hard hard questions.
What if we really and  TRULY  lived what we sang in church….?
      Â
what if we walked what we talked in Christian circles….?
          ,   Â
what if we obeyed what we read in His Word….?
what if we, when told “follow me”,….didn’t turn back. Just followed no matter the cost…?
        Â
what if we denied ourselves….?
      Â
          Â
what if we took the blinders off…?
      Â
what if we realized this life is not about us….?
         Â
what if we let the pain and  brokenness  of “the least of these” change us….affect us….hurt us…?
   Â
what if we stopped leaving the problems up to “other people”….?
     Â
What if we let our lives be “interrupted”….?
what if we said, “I can do something, send me!”….?
     Â
what if we slayed the idols of “comfort”…?
        Â
     Â
what if we stopped letting fear rule us….?
       Â
       Â
What if we allowed compassion, empathy, and love to rule us…and move us to action?
      Â
what if we stopped waiting for someone else to do it, and we realized that it is up to us to do something….?
          Â
what if we allowed God’s WORD to really change us radically…?
          Â
