The Symphony of Action (06/16/'24) -Message

The Symphony of Action In the quiet dawn of a new day, we ponder the essence of living. We should fear never beginning to live, for in that hesitation lies the greatest loss. Life’s journey is not marked by the absence of failure but by the courage to try. Don’t be afraid to fail; be afraid not to try. "Don’t believe me if I am not doing," echoes the voice of Jesus, a call to action, a challenge to our hearts. So they come to you as people do, gathering, listening, seeking. They sit before you as My people, absorbing your words, nodding in agreement, yet their actions betray their intentions. They hear your words, but they do not do them. For with their mouth, they show much love, but their hearts pursue their own gain. This duplicity renders them as an audience to a very lovely song, one who has a pleasant voice and can play well on an instrument. They appreciate the melody, admire the skill, but remain unchanged. Indeed, you are to them as a very lovely song of one who has a pleasant voice and can play well on an instrument; for they hear your words, but they do not do them. Fear the life unlived, the song unheard. Inaction is the true thief of joy and purpose. Words without action are but a fleeting bird, a beautiful moment lost to the wind. Let not your heart be still, let not your voice be tame, for in the doing, life is found, and in the living, we proclaim our faith and love. Rise and do, with fervent heart, let actions speak where words may part. In the trying, love is shown, and in the doing, faith is known. Our lives become a testament, a melody in motion, as we transform belief into action, and dreams into reality. Thus, we truly begin to live, embracing the fullness of our existence, not in mere words, but in every step we take, every deed we perform, and every challenge we bravely face. Pastor Steven G.
