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

And stand up for CHANGE in today’s world
