think about the single most person who made the biggest impact on your life and you will probably figure out that it was a woman...
your mother...
grandmother...
aunt...
sister...
friend...
then think about who is watching you...
look at your children...
your grandchildren...
what "mark" are you leaving on them?
their friends?
co-workers, friends you hang with?
are you showing them the way?
the truth?
and the light?
are you showing them faith in the Father no matter what this life brings your way?
you know, it really doesn't matter what you SAY...
if you don't back up those words with ACTION...
it's all fine and dandy when things are going our way and we are getting what we want...
but how do you handle the times when we aren't?
do you throw up your hands and ask why?
do you sit and cry?
do you question HIS judgement?
do you not realize that you have the POWER to shape the morals and hearts of the nation yet to be?
with every selfless act you commit...
you are forging hearts of love and compassion...
you are lifting God's name on high and letting the world know where you stand...
that by living what you preach...
you are freeing your heart and soul to love and soar above all that is set in place to hinder you?
to hinder generations?
to carve away years of bitterness in the heart of a non-believer?
to show them that there is something better...
that their lives are worthy to be saved...
and they are worth being loved...
show them faith...
through prayer...
kindness...
generosity...
and you will change the world as we know it now...
we have the power through Christ to shine a light in this world that cannot be dimmed...
to bring love and peace and faith...
to hold onto each other...
to know what truly matters...
whatever it is that is eating away at you right now...
know this...
GOD LOVES YOU WITH ALL HIS HEART...
and He's got it covered...
fear not...
for He gave us the most powerful weapon against anything on earth or in Heaven...
and all we have to do is say the name...
JESUS...
for when you find that your path is no longer well lit...
it's time to stop and say that name...
so you can see your footsteps again...
yours...
and His...
right beside you...
for a friend, whom I love very much...
journey well...
