The song talks about how we can't wait to get to Heaven and sing with the angels, and sing your Heaven song, hence the name of the song. And in light of everything that is going on in my brain right now it got me thinking about all of the following: living with only Christ in mind, living without restraint of what people think, and well, living. Just plain old living. But that's just it. As Christians we don't have "just plain old living". Being a Christian, being called to a life that is set apart and different isn't plain at all. It's exhilarating. It's amazing. It's hard, but it's worth it.
When people see me, hear me speak, see me serve, watch me when I don't know they are, do they see Jesus? Do they see someone who is shining a light into this world? Because that is the cry of my heart. It truly is. I want to be a light for Jesus. A light to this world. I want to walk around and people to see Jesus. I do not want to conform to the ways of the culture. I want to get out of the stuff that is so "culturally acceptable"...but is not something that will set me apart as a Christian.
There are several people in my life that I love and respect so much that have this amazing quality. They don't speak excessively, but only when necessary. And when they speak, people listen, because it is worth listening to. It's amazing. I want to be one of those people. Because as a Christian I want to speak love, grace, mercy, peace, and Jesus to people. But if my words do not show that I am living my life for Christ, who will listen to me when I am speaking about those things? I certainly wouldn't.
I want to live a consistent life for Christ. I want to press in and know Him more. I want to know HIS heart, HIS desires, HIS plan for me. All of these words and nice and pretty, but if I don't do anything about this, it's pointless. And again, no one will listen. Consistent Christian living...here we go.
He MUST become more and I MUST become less.
