Purposely


Mark 1:37-38 

37 When they found Him, they said, “Everyone is looking for you.” 

38 He replied, “Let us go elsewhere, into the surrounding villages,

so that I can preach there too. For that is what I came out here to do.”

 

 

If my life is a sermon … and silently for self so speaks

As words are worth little… if action is not performed

Is my live an example … or a foretaste of what could be?

Is the Spirit even noticed … in His call to reform?

 

If my life is an epistle … as it is read to be known

But is it really noticed … if I only show the headlines?

Is not the heart the issue … where my purpose grows?

Does it reach live for others … or preserves what’s “mine”
