The Life God Called Us To
We can talk about the God we know.
Or we can live His life and His love show.
We can invite people to a church to hear
A preacher speak of a God who is near.
Or we can simply wear them out.
Talking over and over what God is about.
Anything we do must be done.
By the motivation of Jesus the Son.
He knows what each person needs.
So we can only do as His Spirit leads.
God is intricately woven into our lives.
And leads us each day and always abides.
It may be a simple act of gratitude.
Or helping lift somebody's mood.
But preaching at them and calling out sin
Won't win the hearts of many men.
In an age of such spiritual confusion.
Only God in His time knows what He's doing.
He knows the heart of each person we meet.
And He alone knows their need and what to speak.
We need not preach a sermon to glorify Him.
Or try to appear Christlike and pretend.
But resting in Him as He leads you each day.
He will show you in each moment what you are to say.
Love your fellowman the way Jesus does.
Let them see who Jesus is by your undying love.
And if they reject the message of the cross.
Love them anyway, considering all things a loss.
Laying our lives down is not always preaching a sermon.
It's walking His path and continually learning.
It's considering others better than you.
This is the life God called us to.
