Visiting a church Doesn’t assure the world That you are a light, Your heart – with God, it’s right Speaking some words Even though they may be good Doesn’t assure the world That you’re living for the Lord Listening to a sermon Without ever changing the heart Never giving back – never giving hope Promises the world That you are someone Who is a pretender – don’t you remember God knows what you are Inside, where no one else breathes… He reveals the true spirit! It takes more than church, words or preaching To change a heart, a life, a believer It takes an honest and sincere hearer Listening without deceiving – never pretending Always remembering to pray for His will Believe in His gift, the whisper of grace… It takes more than just a walk to the alter It takes genuineness, authenticity… Belief that is sincere and gives God the praise It takes earnestness, seriousness… Belief that is alive and survives the test of time It takes heartfelt conviction and openness.., Belief that promises to follow Him always - everywhere!

A wonderful message Gina, if one lives according to God’s word there’s no need to prove it to the world, actions speak louder than words. Blessings, Belle
