Thousands Of Hearts That Beat

"To simply stay alive is not to live a life."

Outside our home, under the same stars, thousands of hearts are beating, just like ours. Outside our house, under the same stars, thousands of hearts are stopping as we speak, just like ours will one day. Some hearts stop with the love of Christ within them, most do not. I see this as an issue, an issue that I want to dedicate my life to help change. A dedication not by simply living the life of a Christian, but really taking the initiative by taking this life, this heart, and this fleshly body to spread as much of God's love and hope as I can before my time on this earth is over. I am a complete believer in keeping my body, God's temple, healthy and taken care of, but if that means simply treating it with warm and cozy Sundays and Wednesday nights, I know that there is more to my "Christian" life than just "living it". I will proudly put "wear and tear" on this body if it successfully glorifies God.

I do not desire to judge, I desire to open the eyes of those who refuse to see truth and what goes on in this same world that rotates beneath the same stars. I do not speak truth with fiery anger, but with disappointment and tears. The truth must be spoken, the people must hear it! Even though God is the only one who can open their eyes and their ears, the least I can do is be there for any opportunity that He may decide to use to do so. I cannot change or save the world, but He can. He is the worker, I hope to only be a tool.

In my speeches, in my music, in my comedy routines, and in my performances, I hope and pray to be glorifying the one and only God of this universe. Whether the fruit of these activities be humorous, sad, or even toe stepping, I wish only to bring others closer to Christ. Do I feel called by God himself to take action in these activities? Maybe, maybe not. I don't know for sure. But I do feel called, as every Christian is, to take up my cross daily and dying to this world as a living sacrifice for the only One who can give sincere love and Hope. Hope... Oh, so little of that is shown in this world today and I am willing to take that leap of faith into the unknown with the potential of happening upon a door God might open to me. It is my duty as a Christian to make that first difficult step.
