A Change of Heart

I, along with many have been struggling with this political season. There is nothing more to do now, America has chosen it's mouthpiece. I felt extreme despair at first, there has been so much anger and so many words that have cut deeply. But after talking with many family and friends, I feel something new...

I feel change coming.
America, we need a change of heart.
If the president is the mouthpiece, let us be the body.
America I am calling you,
Challenging you!

Be the heart that loves.
Love that is patient and kind,
Love that serves others so much more than yourself.
Be the heart that is brave,
And does not fear the unknown.

Be the hands that heal.
Be the shoulder to cry on.
Be the feet that bravely walk
Where no other has gone before.
Be the back that carries the burdens of others
Who cannot walk in this world alone.
Be the mind of the student,
Ever humbled by all that is left to learn.
Be the ears that hear and the eyes that see
The soul looking back through the windows of another.

America
Be the body we need.
Be the heart we need.

And perhaps if we can change the heart of this country,
the mouth will reflect the heart.


Luke 6:45 "....for out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks."
