Revival

What would revival look like?


A people who embrace responsibilities not rights.
A people who do not act out of the fear that since everyone is just like them they had best "get" the other person first.
A people that respond in love to the desperate--not in contempt....
A people who believe that the reality rests on the invisible, on the spiritual--and live that way.
A people who know that before matter ever existed the God who is spirit existed. They are accountable to the One who spoke all things into existence.
A people who are eager to give to those in need rather than scratch stuff off their "I want" list.
A people who embrace the truth that everyone is their neighbor--and then love their neighbor as God loves them.
A people who embrace their sorrow by reaching out to others in their sorrow rather than wallowing in their victimhood and self-pity.
A people who understand that political power is the weakest power on earth when it comes to settling a nation's problems. The strongest power is activated on one's knees.
A people who do not see how much money they make as the basis for their self-esteem.
A people who are willing to put their needs below the needs of others--who love unconditonally and so embrace the truth that they will be taken advantage of.
A people who humbly cry out to God that if no one else will follow Him, they will--even if the "they" is just one.
