At EN Hub, Pastor Josh continued the series entitled "Go"
"Nothing is impossible for God" is a truism we should know
For in reality we are not limited by our own capacity
But by how much we believe God's power can be
In other words, God lives up to the measure of our faith
What we feel in our hearts and also what we may saith
If we achieve our goals in life too early, we get bored
Like David and Solomon who fell out with the Lord
For without a purpose and vision for our whole life
We get complacent in our values and fall into strife
If our purpose is too limited, it may lead us to fall
For we need a God-sized vision on which to call
Per Acts 1:8, we are to witness to the ends of the earth
We are to change the world from the time of our rebirth
The Holy Spirit gives us power from God to share
Even better is that it never runs out, a trait very rare
Jerusalem is where Lord Jesus told the disciples to start
For us, focus on our families before on missions we depart
With families, what we say does not carry much weight
It is our actions that really matter, Pastor Josh did state
It is easier to go overseas for a one week mission trip
Than to stay at home and have your family see you slip
In short, words can be awesome but actions are better
For others will look to see if you live up to the letter
We are to be imitators of God, per Ephesians 5 one and two
By acting sacrificially and loving others in all that we may do
This brings us back to our relationship with God above
For as it says in so many places in the Bible, God is love
Instead of our appearance, into our hearts God does delve
This is clearly stated in Second Corinthians five verse twelve
On our part, we need him to change us from the inside out
So that the love of God compels us, without any doubt
Even another rejects us, we can help him in a different way
Complete change results from Jesus' love, Josh did say
So we must fall in love with Jesus so that others may see
That what we quote from the Bible is illustrated in reality
For when we live with joy and peace, others will of us ask
How we can be so continually loving no matter the task
No matter where we may be or whether we erred or not
God can use us to reach others, whether it is cold or hot
For nothing can ever disqualify us from God's grace
Even is we may not feel ready, as is so often the case
In our darkest situations, God's light often shines brightest
So we can draw other people to God, who is the mightiest
By continually trying to get more and more love from God
We can also help keep ourselves from running roughshod
Jesus died for us all, per Second Corinthians five verse fifteen
Similarly, we must put our will to death so His may be seen
When dealing with our families, do not dwell on the past
Instead be filled with love and purpose, for these will last
To be in the 'ministry of reconciliation', we need to be a new creation
We can connect with Jesus and also with others in many a location
When our actions follow our words, testimonies our lives become
That has a bigger impact than simply banging the biblical drum
