Live The Way You Pray

[The Story Teller]

Live The Way You Pray

I knelt to pray when day was done
And prayed, "O Lord, bless everyone,
Lift from each saddened heart the pain
And let the sick be well again."

And then I woke another day
And carelessly went on my way,
The whole day long I did not try
To wipe a tear from any eye.

I did not try to share the load
Of any brother on the road.
I did not even go to see
The sick man just next door to me.

Yet once again when day was done
I prayed, "O Lord, bless everyone."
But as I prayed, into my ear
there came a voice that whispered clear,

"Pause now, my son, before you pray.
Whom have you tried to bless today?
Gods sweetest blessing always go
by hands that serve him here below."

And then I hid my face and cried,
"Forgive me, God, I have not tried,
But let me live another day
and I will live the way I pray."

That indeed is true as people do watch our thoughts and actions that go with our daily Christian walk with God. Because when we stumble and do something outside of what God wants us to do, then we let others who so desparately want to know God, down big time.

But in our faults lays the hope for them. Some times when we make mistakes other people see it as.... If they can have faults and Jesus still Loves them then maybe there's still hope for us..

God Bless you for this inspiration. Makes people sick back and take a look at their lives..." Why do I choose to live in the spirit, but walk in the flesh? " - Some may want to ask themselves that!
