Your Actions
by Barbara Philbrook

Your actions, do they bring others joy,
or do they instead just annoy?

Is someone else's day enlightened by knowing you?
Is there a positive result in the things you do?

Does your contribution to life bring smiles,
or is your life filled with sorrow and denials?

You can have a new perspective on life,
one that centers on the positive, not on strife.

You can lift the spirits of those you meet,
telling them how the enemy they too can defeat.

You can give hope where there once was despair,
by telling others that Jesus does care.

You can extend the invitation to live for eternity,
the same one that God gave to you and to me.

You can share what joy comes from accepting,
and help them to make the call Jesus is expecting.

Guide them in the words they can say,
as they accept God's gift while they humbly pray.

Your actions can increase the size of God's family,
by inviting others His truths to see.

Let's vow to share the good news of love,
and give other's the opportunity to know our God above.
