More Than Words… 

One day you will forget what I say… But you will remember what I do

One day the message of my lips will pass away… however the actions of my physical frame will remain.

That day could be tomorrow or the next… when you move from my words to the next great thing which catches your eye.

Because one day I will die… and you may say good things for my eulogy or you will bring ridicule - but you will mostly remember me…

Summed up somewhat by my words… but mostly by my actions.

Because my words give rise to what may be living in my heart… but it’s so easy to fake things these days.

Even so, what can’t be faked is what truly is at stake - how do my actions line up with what I say?

Yes, Jesus did say that on that future Day when everyone forgets who I am and I stand alone before Him - He says that then I will be tried by the words that came forth from my mouth… and by the actions which I did - both hidden and revealed.

So what matters now while I am alive still… is the coming together of my heart, body and mind - bringing together what I say with what I do.

Because one day my words will pass away from your mind - and my actions will remain, but with the passing of time they too will fade away…

So I must make every moment stay… make every moment count in a way that impacts the lives around me for the better.
