So, I’m a big fan of music, if you don’t already know that… So when I hear a new song, I love to sit down and listen to the words and really “digest” what the artist & the Lord is trying to say. Does it apply to my life? What can I learn from this message?
Well, there’s a song out on the radio right now that I just love!! It’s a Francesca Battistelli song entitled “It’s Your Life”. If you read through the chorus, it’s a very simple message, but yet a very serious one, as well.
“It’s your life
What you gonna do?
The world is watching you
Every day the choices you make
Say what you are and who
Your heart beats for
It’s an open door
It’s your life”
Think about it. What do the choices that you make say about you? Do they point to the Father, the one you say you love? The world IS watching us. They do notice when we make good decisions AND bad ones. Sometimes it seems like they are just waiting for us to mess up. But even then, how do we react and respond? Every one of us has the opportunity to display the love of God and the kind of life available through Him. But how often do really take advantage of this? What does your life say about you? About God, our Creator? Are the people you call your friends, evidence of what your life is centered around? Think about it.
I pray that your hearts would ALWAYS beat for Christ, but know that even when you mess up, there is Grace.
