BE THE CHANGE
Be the change
That you want to see
In this world
If you
Want a world
Based on love
Live love
If you want
A world based on forgiveness
Live forgiveness
Change means
To make a difference in some way
To alter
To Transform
“Love your enemies
Do good to them
And lend to them
Without expecting anything back
Then your reward
Will be great
And you will be sons
Of the most high
Because he is kind
To the ungrateful and wicked
Be merciful
Just as your Father is merciful” Luke
6:35-36
BE THE CHANGE
“But I tell you
Do not resist an evil person
If someone strikes you
On the right cheek
Turn to him the other also”
Matthew 5:39
……………….
“If someone forces you to go one
mile
Go with him 2 miles”
Matthew 5:41
BE THE CHANGE
“Then Peter came to Jesus and
asked
How many times shall I forgive
my brother
When he sins against me
Up to 7 times”
Matthew 18:21
7x---surely that is more than generous
Jesus answered,
“I tell you
NOT 7 times
But 70 x 7 times”
Matthew 18:22
Radical thinking
To be sure
Was he right
You know he was
Nothing was ever built
On hatred
Nothing was ever built
On vengeance
Love is ROCK
Hatred is sand
Forgiveness is ROCK
Resentment is sand
Kindness is ROCK
Saint Francis of Assisi
The man thought to be the most like Christ
That ever walked this earth---once said---
“Speak the Gospel at ALL times
Use words if necessary”
Have you
Ever tried to change
Someone’s opinion on something
How successful
Were you
Be it
Do it
Live it
Let others see
The love of God in you
BE THE CHANGE
