Inclined to sit awhile
Inspired to stop and write
Meditating on truths
Seeking God’s pure light.
Captured by the thought
That Jesus walked on earth
He sojourned here among us
He broke bread
And felt our hurts.
God became a man
Born of flesh and blood
To reveal the face of God
To show the Father’s love.
So we have seen His glory
He is full of grace and truth
And it is by His own great love
That we are compelled to move.

Jesus Transforms Lives
Every sinner is shut up in the tomb of sin by evil habit, but Christ can roll away the stone, and the sinner can come forth a living man. Our Lord continued on earth among men for several days; but, despite human enmity, no man hurt him, for he had received a life and a glory which they could not approach. The saints also abide here among men, and many seek to destroy them, but God has given them a new life, which can never be destroyed, for he hath hedged it about from all its adversaries. All the powers of darkness fought against the Lord Jesus Christ, but yet through the power of God he conquered them all. I think I see him now ascending up on high leading captivity captive in the power of God. So, my brother, you will be opposed by the powers of darkness, and by your own evil heart; but you shall conquer, for God will put forth the same power in you which he manifested in his dear Son, and you, too, shall lead captivity captive.
Lessons from the Apostle Pauls Prayers / Charles Spurgeon
Don’t Conform. Be Transformed.
So here’s what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don’t become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You’ll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you.
Romans 12:2 (The Message)
So comforting to know that Jesus walked in this life and understands
