This morning my husband and I attended church with my sons. We so much hated to leave our church family, but my sons really wanted us to go with them. I am so glad I did. Before the pastor preached, they played a video by Casting Crowns - Does Anybody Hear her? I was moved beyond words. God confirmed that very moment that I was to share it with each one of you. I have attached the words and the video link at the bottom of this post.
This video showed me that we never know what those around us are facing on a daily basis. God could have a young lady sitting beside us at church, a ballgame or concert who is hurting deeply. There could be a lady standing beside you in a check out line ready to end her life. I think that many times we get so busy going about our daily lives that we forget about our mission here on this earth - to help the hurting and bring the lost to the Lord. Many times when I've come across someone that is rude, I pray for them. I pray that God will meet whatever need they are facing at the time. You see, just because someone lashes out or is hateful doesn't mean that they are like that all the time. We don't know their circumstances. We don't know what is troubling them. It's very important that we allow Christ to shine through us at all times. You never know when God is going to put someone in your path that just needs a smile or a "hello."
If at anytime any of you are down or just need to talk, NEVER hesitate to text or call me. I have committed my life to God and His calling on my life. I pray that God touches each and everyone of you right now! I pray that His presence will hover over you continually! Continue to trust in Him for all things!
DOES ANYBODY HEAR HER? By Casting Crowns
She is running
A hundred miles an hour in the wrong direction
She is trying
But the canyon's ever widening
In the depths of her cold heart
So she sets out on another misadventure just to find
She's another two years older
And she's three more steps behind
Does anybody hear her? Can anybody see?
Or does anybody even know she's going down today
Under the shadow of our steeple
With all the lost and lonely people
Searching for the hope that's tucked away in you and me
Does anybody hear her? Can anybody see?
She is yearning
For shelter and affection
That she never found at home
She is searching
For a hero to ride in
To ride in and save the day
And in walks her prince charming
And he knows just what to say
Momentary lapse of reason
And she gives herself away
If judgment looms under every steeple
If lofty glances from lofty people
Can't see past her scarlet letter
And we've never even met her
Please go to this link and watch this video. It will change your life.
