philosophical?

so, i've been thinking. about stuff from church on sunday. and, in general, about how i act in my 'non-church' life. meaning, at school. most people that i know at school know that i'm a christian, and they seem to respect me for that. and i am comfortable with that. i'm happy to just think that it is good enough that i have told them i'm a christian, and leave it at that. but i think that being a christian means so much more than that. it means getting off our butts and actually doing something about life. doing something about all of the people that we know and care about who aren't 'going to heaven'. if we say we truly love God and truly love the people He created, how can we watch them slip away. i think it was wes who mentioned on sunday that Jesus asked peter if he loved him 3 times. but it didn't stop there. Jesus said "if you do, feed my sheep". meaning, get out of your comfort zones and do something about this love that you profess. i then went on to think about love some more. when you love someone, you want to tell people (or so i'm told). you don't just let that feeling sit inside you. you tell people, especially the one you love. you do things to prove your love. i know i'm babbling, but it's been on my mind all day. i was getting so comfortable with how my life was going. but then i realized that i'm doing nothing, or very litte, to 'feed His sheep'. it was a challenge to me, especially with my school people.

Jason Upton, a musical artist guy, has a song with some lyrics that i really like:

"somebody here is hurting
somebody here is broken
somebody here is waiting
somebody here is hoping
for love to come unlock every door
it takes you and me to open up once more
and learn to trust again

somebody here is searching
somebody's dreams were stolen
somebody's arms are reaching
somebody needs to hold them
for love to come unlock every door
it takes you and me to open up once more
and learn to trust again

i don't know where you come from
i don't know where you're going
i only know the healing starts when we all stop running"

i think this is pretty much applicable to every situation we may find ourselves in. things aren't going to happen unless we start them. we can't sit around waiting for change. we need to do it.
