Oh the Boxes

Eating fried rice in the dark is like roller skating in the bathroom. It is something that most people have never done.  Not that they have never had the opportunity, but because it has never crossed their mind. We tend to keep our minds in a box (Not all boxes are square, and some are much larger than others). The things we say and do as well as the words or phrases that come to mind are not always as original as we thought or wished. They all came from the box. When we push our minds to jump outside their little boxes, we surprise ourselves with how creative we can actually be. It is inspirational! Of course I could go on about the fact that every one of us is stuck inside the box of this universe, but that could get depressing (Or really exciting because God has put so much creativity into His incredible creation!). That said, I would like to make a plea. Please, think outside the box. It will make your box bigger.

Inspired while eating fried rice in the dark.

Christ Through Me

What is it about?
Who is it about?
What are we put on this earth for?
Christ.
There are so many lost.
Lost.
Lost, and they can't save themselves.
Who can they turn to for help?
Christ.
Oh, but there are so many who don't know.
Deceived by the enemy of life.
How will they know?
Who will show them?
Will I just stand by while millions never know?
The love they could have, mercy has been shown.
Lord, fill me, show me, use me!
Give me your passion for those who need you.
Shine your love through me to them.
Please! Use me, show me, fill me.
Who is it about?
Christ.
Who will shine the light?
Me.
