What does it mean to sing to Jesus? I love the words from the prophet Amos in the Message:
"I can't stand your religious meetings. I'm fed up with your conferences and conventions.
I want nothing to do with your religion projects,
your pretentious slogans and goals.
I'm sick of your fund-raising schemes,
your public relations and image making.
I've had all I can take of noisy ego-music.
When was the last time you sang to me?
Do you know what I want?
I want justice - oceans of it.
I want fairness - rivers of it.
That's what I want. That's all I want."
As our family forges ahead into the unknown, the words of Amos continue to echo in our ears. It is so easy to get blinded by the meetings, fund-raising and goals. Our prayer is that our family would be able to sing to Jesus... that our heart and mind would be that of Jesus and our hands and feet would match our Father, in our efforts to be a voice for the voiceless. Please pray for our family!
Thanks
