hands and feet

I heard this quote and it grabbed me. 

“Christ has no body now on earth but yours. 

 Yours are the only hands with which He can do His work.  

Yours are the only feet with which He can go about the world.

 Yours are the only eyes through which His compassion can shine forth upon a troubled world.”

 I am Christ's hands and feet to the world. ALWAYS. Not whenever I decide I want to or when I decide I am ready. I am salt and light and I have to live like that in everything I do and say. 

How are people to hear about God if I (we) don't tell them? How are they to be fed if we don't feed them? How are they to have clothes if we don't clothe them? 

There is so much sorrow and injustice in the world.

We cannot sit around and watch any longer.

We have to take action. 

We have to go in faith and trust that God will provide. 

We have to listen to His call and share His love with those who do not know. We are too blessed and we cannot hold that to ourselves any longer!

For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, and virtue with knowledge, and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with steadfastness, and steadfastness with godliness, and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love.  For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they keep you from being ineffective or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. For whoever lacks these qualities is so nearsighted that he is blind, having forgotten that he was cleansed from his former sins.

2 Peter 1:5-9

Disturb us, Lord, when we are too well pleased with ourselves. When our dreams have come true because we dreamed too little, when we arrive safely because we have sailed too close to the shore. Disturb us, Lord.
-Sir Francis Drake
