A friend asked me not that long ago, "if people really believed in heaven and hell, would they live the way they do?" OUCH! That one hurt. =( It was a reminder that I really needed, though... It is important that what I do matches what I say.
I was listening to Could You Believe?, by Twila Paris, this morning and it made me think of that conversation.
Here are my favorite parts of the song...
He was a friend to sinners
He was a gentle man
Beautiful, humble master plan
His voice could pierce the darkness
Quiet an angry sea
I hear Him saying follow me
I look in your eyes and I tell you these things
But somehow I know that it’s hard to believe
Could you believe if I really was like Him
If I lived all the words that I said
If for a change I would kneel down before you
And serve you instead
Could you believe if I stood here transparent
And through me you could see his eyes
Could you believe if you saw right inside
Me and there was no disguise
Could you believe if I was really like him
If I lived all the words that I said
If it was clear that I held in my heart
What I know in my head
Could you believe, could you believe
Looking at me, could you believe
Could you believe?
