I'm reminded of the Brandon Heath song "Give Me Your Eyes." We so easily forget that as Christ's servants, we ARE the example that the world looks at. Whether we realize it or not, most people are searching 9even if they pretend not to be), but they have seen so many counterfeits that frustrate them and cause them to lose hope. My desire is to reach people daily just by letting them see that I'm the real deal. I want my actions to speak volumes about my faith and not my lips.<BR/><BR/>Wonderful post.

It's easy to think we can't do as much as others. Easier to fall for the notion that there's just too much to do and too little time to do it than pause to speak to someone, or even just listen.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for these words.
