song by Ginny Owens called "Fellow Traveler!"
You can't change who I am
Or the way that i think
I won't change how you live
Or the words that you speak
But neither of us is a stranger to joy or pain
No matter how we're different
We're very much the same
*Fellow traveler let me take you to a place where Ive found rest
Fellow seeker let me show you where I've found true happiness
Fellow beggar I have good news, I know where there is bread
(I'll show you where there's bread)
I don't know where you've come from
Or where you've been along your way
But I can tell you what I've lived through
And how I made it here today
Let me share with you the story of hope I've come to know
A love that's always for me
And a peace that frees my soul
*
So if you are hungry come to the table with me
And you won't go hungry ever again
a phrase that the preacher said in church yesterday triggered this song in my brain. i love this song because it motivates me to share with others "the hope i've come to know" not because i am "smarter" or "better" or "self righteous." God doesn't call us to share because we are those things. . .because none of us are! all of us have fallen wayyyyy short of His glory. Christians are called to SHARE as if we were beggars SHARING bread. Because that's what we are!! humble before Jesus and hoping for his word to fill us up. . .let this be the posture of our witnessing and sharing GOOD NEWS!
