Some ThOugHTs

Orange saw this and thought its applies to herself...

A large flock of birds swooped down from the sky, landing on many branches of the big oak tree out back. They settled in the naked branches immediately, not stirring at all. As a matter of fact, I could not see them unless they moved. A twitter here, a wing stretch there, a little preening of some feathers yes, motion told me they were in that tree.

Christians can be like those birds, I thought. We can love Jesus with all our hearts, but if we just sit in a church pew and don't move or do something in His name, He will not be seen. Acts of love and kindness do not need to be gigantic endeavors , just ones that God lays on your heart. Remember, I knew those birds were in that tree when they only made a small motion- just a twitter or a stretch. Likewise, we Christians can let the world know Jesus is alive and ready to reach out His hand of love with any act of kindness done in Jesus' name.

Lord, don't let us be ones who just "sits there", motionless, not moving or doing in the name of Christ. Give us the desire to be "seen" - not for ourselves , but for the One who lives within us.

May the Lord bless each of you who are reading this now! ^^
