"There's a wonderful scene near the end of the movie 'My Fair Lady' in which Eliza Doolittle sings words that God must also sing. She says, 'Words! Words! Words! I'm so sick of words, If you're in love, Show me!' I am always writing about the importance and power of words. However, if words are spoken only from the head and not the heart, and are misused to impress, flatter, manipulate, or don't mean a thing to the one who speaks them, they can be worse than useless.
It's the same for a Christian If we say we are a believer and don't act accordingly, what does it mean? It means nothing. God help me with my potty mouth and the way I use my words!!
I read this on a poster at the Christian Book shop and I wrote it down.
The living truth is what I long to see
I cannot live on what used to be
So close your Bible and show me how
The Christ you talk about is living now.
