LOVE THIS SONG

This song is so good and convicting. Its Keep changing the World by Mikeschair Lyrics: Something here is wrong There are children without homes But we just move along to take care of our own There's so much suffering just outside our door A cry so deafening We just can't ignore To all the people who are fighting for the broken All the people who keep holding on to love All the people who are reaching for the lonely Keep changing the world Take a look around Before the sun goes out What's lost can still be found It's not too late now It only takes one spark to make the fire burn So reach inside your heart and let this be the start Chorus I know you see the suffering How they gone recover when people just look over like they don't even notice them Everyone whose focusing on ending all this hopelessness You can change the world by changing who the world is hoping in I see the sun coming up It's a brighter day Let's show the world that love is a better way So le...

I am in two small groups and serve with my church's youth group. In all three groups we are studying Ephesians and God is just blowing my min revealing two overall themes to me: Being Chosen and Rooted. One of my Bible Studies is called Rooted which is cool. First we are chosen by God, the Creator of the Universe, that should blow your mind ! That makes me feel overwhelmed by His love Second I can't do anything apart from Christ and that is ok. I am trying to break the habit of reading my Bible in the morning and then never acknowledging God throughout my day. Even though I know internally that he cares about EVERY detail of my life. I...
