Love is calling you and me

This song has been on my heart lately. This is what God calls each of us to - to be a witness to his lost sheep. I love Christmas time, more than words can express. But this time of year also breaks my heart. When I think about all the people out there with no home, no family, no hope, my heart physically hurts. God has graciously blessed me beyond my wildest imagination, and I want nothing more than to pass that on to others. I am nothing, but because of the Cross I am a servant of the Lord. I choose to move out of the way and let His power work through me to bless others. I challenge you (and myself) to take time this Christmas season to not only be thankful for our blessings, but to pray about how God wants to use us. We each have a purpose - its just a matter of identifying it and then acting on it. What is God calling you to do?

Britt Nicole ~ The Lost Get Found

Hello my friend
I remember when you were
So alive with your wide eyes
Then the light that you had in your heart was stolen

Now you say that it ain't worth stayin'
You wanna run but you're hesitatin'
I'm talkin' to me

Don't let your lights go down
Don't let your fire burn out

somewhere, somebody needs a reason to believe
Why don't you rise up now?
Don't be afraid to stand out
That's how the lost get found
The lost get found

So when you get the chance
Are you gonna take it?

There's a really big world at your fingertips
And you know you have the chance to change it
There's a girl on the streets, she's cryin'
There's a man whose faith is dyin'
Love is calling you

Don't let your lights go down
Don't let your fire burn out
somewhere, somebody needs a reason to believe
Why don't you rise up now?
Don't be afraid to stand out

That's how the lost get found
The lost get found

Why do we go with the flow
Or take an easier road?
Why are we playin' it safe?
Love came to show us the way
Love is a chance we should take
I'm movin' out of the way


Don't let your lights go down
Don't let your fire burn out
somewhere, somebody needs a reason to believe
(Stand out)
Don't let your lights go down
Don't let your fire burn out
(Stand out)
somewhere, somebody needs a reason to believe
Why don't you rise up now?
Don't be afraid to stand out
That's how the lost get found
The lost get found

So when you get the chance
Are you gonna take it?
There's a really big world at your fingertips
And you know you have the chance to change it
