A song usually hits me in a way that words just cant even describe.  As this song played, thoughts just ran through my head...

There are so many people out there that need healing!  Where??? Africa? Asia? Well yes.  But what I am talking about is the ones that are across the street.  In our class.  In our youth group.  On the same pew as us.  These people are the ones in the mirror that we look at every day.  You, them and even myself put on a front sometime and some might even do it most or all the time.  Its time for God's people to get up off their lazy butts.  Yeah I said lazy butts.  The ones that are reading this.  The one that is typing this.  We are standing by watching the people that we are suppose to be loving going to hell or going through it.  I know we have trouble in our own lives.  But when one of our own is down or having a bad day, its not up to the person next to you, or their wife or husband; its up to you.  Its up to me.  Remember this...If everyone thinks that the next person will do it, it will never get done. What did Jesus do and wanted us to do?  There is no greater love than that of a friend to lay down his life... Doesn't mean that you have to die for someone, we need to lay down our schedule, wants, desires, goals...In fact, the person you lift up today, could very well be the person that lifts you up tomorrow.  Sometimes just a random act of kindness will bring the rain to wash out the bitterness, the hurt, the pain, or even the feeling of being lonely.  A gentle hug to someone you don't hug often or never hugged before.  A hello to someone that most everyone else rejects because they aren't popular.  We have to do the things sometimes that make us look crazy or sometimes stupid to others.  But if it was you in their shoes, wouldn't you want someone to do something that might not be ordinary?
