The River!!!

You know a dream is like a river ever changin' as it flows. And a dreamer's just a vessel that must follow where it goes. Trying to learn from what's behind you and never knowing what's in store. Makes each day a constant battle just to stay between the shores.
And I will sail my vessel 'til the river runs dry. Like a bird upon the wind, these waters are my sky.
I'll never reach my destination, if I never try. So I will sail my vessel 'til the river runs dry.
To often a song seems to say exactly what we are unable to do. Unfortunately we don't get to choose what hand we are dealt. If we got to choose, none of us would choose adversity. However, that is what God uses to build our character. Anyone can celebrate during the good times. It's being able to praise God even when things aren't going well. Life is constantly changing and we have to learn to adapt with it. Some days life is good but pretending that there are no bad days is not reality. I have decided to be real and not just tell people what they want to hear so be careful asking! Life doesn't revolve around pretense. Acting like everything is OK doesn't make it better. We as Christians need to learn to recognize needs in others without having to be asked. Jesus challenged us to be His hands and minister to people in need. The last time I checked hands are for working not listening. If you have to be asked then you are missing an opportunity to minister. We need to learn to be His eyes and ears. If we are the body of Christ, why aren't His arms reaching? Some people understand what it means to minister while others seem to miss the point. If you have to be asked then maybe your ministry radar needs calibrating. We get slammed so much by people that have learned to work the system that we can't see the people that really have needs. We need to learn to look with His eyes, listen with His ears, and reach out with His hands. Let God guide us don't just focus on the people we think need help. Just because someone has enough selflessness that they won't ask for help doesn't mean they don't need it. It's not about credit, it's about ministry. We miss opportunities because it doesn't fit into our idea of ministry. It's not about you, it's all about Him!! Once we as God's chosen learn that, maybe we can start to reach a lost and dieing world. Just because someone doesn't ask doesn't mean they don't need help. Prayer works but God gave us hands and feet too. Just something to think about. My name is Jason Horn and I Am Second!!!
