Do Something Visible

I have a friend, Phil Cross, who is a gifted, Dove Award-winning song writer and singer. He wrote a song that one of my "faves", Mitchel Jon, sings and I sooo love it. It's called "Something Visible". You just won't be able to get it out of your head...more importantly, out of your spirit. It's a profession type of song that says "I will do something visible for the Invisible One". It's one of those songs that you just don't dare sing if you don't mean it. I can't hear or sing it without thinking, "okay, what am I doing? am I running away from those who need me? am I loving my neighbor as I should?"


Here's the challenge for me and for you if you will accept. First, realize who you serve. Second, thank Him for all you have and for saving you. Third, decide what visible thing you're going to do for the Invisible One. The last part of the song says "somebody's watching; somebody's looking at you; little eyes are watching everything you do; the world is watching you and me; you gotta think about what they see." That's your kids, grandkids, neighbor, fellow pew pal, co-worker, employee, the "that" person in your life, etc. Sobering thought, isn't it?

If you don't have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and would like to, it's very simple. I know, you would think that God who created this world and everything in it that it would be complicated, but it's not. See, He loves You and when someone loves a person they make themselves very accessible. You do that for the people you love, right? So does He! Find a Bible or go to www.biblegateway.com and look up these verses - John 1:1; Romans 3:10; Romans 3:23; Romans 5:8; Romans 6:23; Romans 10:9-10 and John 3:16.

Simply pray this prayer..."God, I know that I am a sinner. I know that I deserve the consequences of my sin. However, I am trusting in Jesus Christ as my Savior. I believe that His death and resurrection provided for my forgiveness. I trust in Jesus and Jesus alone as my personal Lord and Savior. Thank you Lord, for saving me and forgiving me! Amen!"

If you've prayed that prayer for the first time and are not involved in a local church, I encourage you to find a Bible believing church in your area and let the pastor know of your decision. Welcome to the family!

I have music players from Phil and Mitchel on this blog. I hope you will listen. It may or may not be your "thing/style", but stop a minute and listen to the words. You will be blessed. Phil is one of my favorite Psalmists and my very own "Scarecrow". That's for you, Phil. ;-)

Love to all!
