Living inspired...

A Christian is someone who is animated by the Spirit of Christ, a person in whom the Spirit of Christ can work. That doesn’t necessarily mean that you have to consciously know what you are doing.  You feed the hungry, give to the poor, give a listening ear, be a friend to the friend-less, help the oppressed, cry with those who mourn and rejoice with those who are happy.  Jesus said - "Because you did it for these little ones, you did it for me."  They did not know, consciously; they just did what they were inspired to do.  If we really want to know God, we have to get out of our head and open up our hearts.  It's not about attaining more knowledge - this just creates arrogance and pride - a bigger EGO.    We need more wisdom that allows for humble, loving kindness.  It never depends upon whether we say the right words, but whether we live the right reality.  The difference between "lip service" and "true service".  Don't just say it - DO it!   If you are talking more then you are doing - try talking less and listening more.  Where there was judgement and hate - maybe there can be understanding, acceptance and love. <3
