"Thorns on His Head"

Thorns on his head spear in his side 

Yet it was a heartache that made him cry 

He gave his life so you would understand 

Is there any way you could say no to this man 

If Christ himself were standing here 

Face full of glory and eyes full of tears 

And he held out his arms and his nail printed hands 

Is there any way you could say no to this man 

How could you look in his tear stained eyes 

Knowing it's you he's thinking of 

Could you tell him you're not ready to give him your life 

Could you say you don't think you need his love 

Jesus is here with his arms open wide 

You can see him with your heart if you'll stop looking with your eyes 

He's left it up to you, he's done all that he can 

Is there any way you could say no to this man 

How could you look in his tear stained eyes 

Knowing it's you he's thinking of 

Could you tell him you're not ready to give him your life 

Could you say you don't think you need his love 

Thorns on his head your life in his hands 

Is there any way you could say no to this man 

"For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will hardly die for a righteous man; though perhaps for the good man someone would dare even to die. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."
- Romans 5:6-8

Be the Change....

A song often comes on the radio. I know this is an older song, but keep reading. However, I already know that some of my readers do not like John Mayer, but just hear me out and see where I am going with this. As you may have guessed by now the song was "Waiting on the World to change." This got me thinking... Why wait on the world to change?? Why not be the change in the world that you want to see?? I am not sure that our mindset these days is that of someone who wants to change the world, but wants the world to change itself. Newsflash: If we sit back and allow the world to change.. It will change, but is it the change you want? It is the change of continued hatred, racism, violence, and other negative things. Not the change of more love, a sense of peace, or more happiness and joy. As a Christian, I feel as if it is my duty to be "The Change" in the world that I want to see.. If more of us develop this mentality we will begin to see things beginning to change. We can not just preach hope, love, and change. We have to exemplify change in ourselves before everything around us will change. We have to our show our love to others through our actions, words, and deed. We read in Matthew 5:16 "Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and praise your Father who is in Heaven." Last, be patient. Things will not happen in an instant, allow God to work through you and through those you minister to... I believe we can change the world one soul at a time, if we all decide to jump on board and Be the change that you want to see..
