Jesus needs your feet....firmly planted on Gospel values |
Your Eyes – to
see the needs of the marginalized people of the world – the poor, the
homeless, the foster children, the Aids
patients, , the prisoners, the refugees, the bullied, the unloved.
Your Neck – a
willingness to stick one’s neck out.......to risk one’s life and one’s gifts in
response to the message of Jesus Christ.
Your Heart – big
enough to go outside of oneself to help.....vulnerable enough to let others in.
Your Funny Bone -
easily activated....an ability to laugh at oneself and with others too. Smile!
God loves you!
Your Ears – to
listen attentively to the cries and whispers of the poor, the silenced, the
oppressed, and to be sensitive for the needs of others.
Your Hands –
willing to give and not afraid of getting soiled doing God’s work of healing a
broken and wounded world.
Your Arms – ready
to embrace in love, and welcome back the fallen-away from the church, and those
who have gone a different road for a while.
Your Knees –
willing to bend in long hours of prayer, in meditation, in reflection, in
silence.
Your Feet –
firmly planted....grounded in Gospel values, willing to go wherever God’s call
leads to respond to the need of others.
All of you – to
be a witness for Christ, and be committed to the faith, as you practice what
you hear being preached, love, honesty, forgiveness, compassion, healing and
concern.
