We don’t feel ready, we don’t feel steady
Question what we really have to give
Stay where it’s safer, claim faith but waiver
Is this how we’re really meant to live
We pray but never move
We say but never do
It’s time to get our hands dirty
oh oh, oh oh
Be love – there’s a whole lot of hurting
oh oh, oh oh
Calling all hearts, calling all hands
Calling all feet to take a stand
Why sit around and wait for a miracle to come
When we can be one, when we can be one, when we can be one
A little somethin’ might feel like nothin’
But in His hands it’s all we’ll ever need
To speak life to the broken
Watch the blind eyes open
It’s who He’s calling you and me to be
We can be the change – be the hope
We can be the arms that don’t let go
We can be a light in the dark
We are, we are, where it starts

A lukewarm Christian is not something that I want to be. Oh…I definitely have been. But I much prefer to be in the game; and when you’re in the game, you get dirty. Jesus did. He didn’t play it safe and protect himself and just associate with His disciples and followers. No, He ate with the hated and He got close to the sick to heal them and He walked with prostitutes. His main objective was to make sure that everyone knew His Father and that they would go to Heaven when they died.
This is exactly how we should be. I am sure that around your area, there are homeless people who have needs to be met before they can even think about making a decision to know Him. Hungry families live on streets near you. There are women in your circle who may be fighting an addiction of some kind and need to know Jesus still loves them. There are marriages on the brink of divorce. You are someones hope today!
So as you listen to this song, pray to God that He will reveal to you where to go and who needs to hear hope from you. Ask Him to lead you to them and He will guide you and speak through you. How awesome is it to actually be His hands and feet?!!! There are so many changes that this world needs and it can start here with us….
Declare His glory among the nations, His wonders among all peoples.
Psalms 96:3 NKJV
Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you;
and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.
Matthew 28:19-20 NKJV

Dear God, thank You so much for sending Jesus to earth as a man, to walk among sinners. He showed us what we should be like. He was a Friend of sinners and loved the ones who are hardest to love. Lord, You created everyone and You love us all. Please plant in us that same love for our neighbor and give us the desire to walk through their hard with them. Reveal to us who we are to share with and direct our steps and send us where we are to go. You have blessed each one of us by living in us and granting us grace for each moment. I pray that no one has to go one more day without knowing how much You love them. Help us to get in the game and not be afraid to get our hands dirty. We love You. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
