In this broken world there is much to see,tearing eyes and wounded heart on bended kneewashed in the blood flowing from your side,these hands and feet are yours to guide//
And what about the children,think about the world we're leaving,stains to clean and wounds to seal,show them that there's something to heal//
Whatever happened to good old yesterday?when people all joined in to say,"be kind to one-another-and always love your brother,grace and peace, joy and humility,and the love, which binds us all in unity"//
So always smile and never turn down a child's hug,these simple acts are touches from above,maybe its time to up and take the lead,follow that old command to "stand and follow me"//
Love is pouring, Grace is flowing, and to the world its going,Heads are turning, and hearts are yerning, looking for you,In this overflowits an overflow, i want an overflow...
..of you

How do you dress?
So Colossians 3 has been blowing my mind as of late--just soo much to chew on--and i love how it gives you directions to live:
Clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.
Metaphorically speaking, i don't know how you clothe yourself on a daily basis--but that right there is one heck fighting wardrobe. Compassion that sees other needs and desires to meet them, kindness to brighten someone's day, humility to keep others above ourselves (very rare this season), gentleness to approach others in a non abrasive way, and patience to exist with everyone else no matter what they happen to be wearing (metaphorically speaking)-
Then, Love--like the belt that binds it all together, or just that added accent to your life that shows others that you really didn't dress yourself this morning-someone else did with a purpose that goes beyond just what they're seeing, but based on what they are seeing they're wanting more--
I guess i'm tired of the outfits i put on everyday, i'd much rather let my father pick out my clothes--
