CHOOSE TO BE A BLESSING

i really dont know how to explain what's on my heart right now, but i will do my best to share with you. There is a song out called, The Blessing by John Waller. I never really listen to the words of the song till recently a really good friend of mine shared some things that was on her heart. She mentioned this song and i actually listened to the words and it broke me up inside. Here are the words to the song The Blessing:

Let it be said of us
While we walked among the living
Let it be said of us
By the ones we leave behind
Let it be said of us
That we lived to be a blessing for life

Let it be said of us
That we gave to reach the dying
Let it be said of us
By the fruit we leave behind
Let it be said of us
That our legacy is blessing for life

This day
You set life, you set death right before us,
This day
Every blessing and curse is a choice now
And we will choose to be a blessing for life

Let it be said of us
That our hearts belonged to Jesus Let it be said of us
That we spoke the words of life
Let it be said of us
That our heritage is blessing for life

For your Kingdom, for our Children
For the sake of every nation

You know we live in a generation today that lacks respect, lacks commitment and i dont mean job but family, wants only to blend in and be part of a group, there is too many indians and not enough chiefs. Families dont make time for church or god, people dont make time to visit the sick in hosiptals or take time to call and encourage people from their church, youth are selling out to the things in this world, plain and simple alot of this generation's fruit is rotten and stinks. How do we change this, CHOOSE TO BE A BLESSING FOR LIFE. Applying the words to this song is a good way to start. I want it to be said of me that my heart blongs to jesus, that i spoke the words of life, that my heritage is a blessing for life, and i choose to be a blessing for life, will you make the same commitment and help change this generation. For God's kingdom, for our childrens sake, for the sake of every nation, will you choose to be a blessing for life???
EPHESIANS 5:1, "Imitate God, therefore, in everything you do"

i absolutely love this song! when i really study the lyrics, it makes me realize that i don't want to be remembered by my own achievements. I want it to be said of me that my heart belonged to Jesus and that i spoke the words of life.
