Last week, as we looked over John the Baptist's question to Jesus, "Are you the one who is to come, or should we expect someone else?" (Luke 7:19) The thought of John the baptizer, a cousin of Jesus, wondering if Jesus was the One or not brought back to my mind a song that we sang with youth groups in the 80's that went like this:

"What if what they say is true? What if You fed Five Thousand?
What if You calmed the sea? Can You calm me?
What if what they say is true? What if you walked on water?
What if You healed disease? Can You heal me?
I don't want to believe it, and I don't want to receive it. Why would You do anything for me?
What if what they say is true? What if You rose on Easter?
What if You conquered the sea? Can You conquer me?
Your life to conquer death, and I'm asked to walk my steps with You;
Can You stop the pain that cover me?
What if what they say is true? What if You came to love me?
What if You heard me say... 'I love You too! I love You too! I love too!'...?" (author unknown)

We can talk and hear the talks all of our lives about Jesus and God the Father, but until we finaly realize that what they did was for everyone, 'including ME' (YOU), it will mean nothing and have no effect. Each of us must believe in our hearts that we love Jesus, and God loves us, or it will never make a difference in our lives.

What if You (God) heard me say, "I love You too!" Our world and the people around us would see God the Father allive in us!

God Bless,
