You know, I’ve had to really ask myself, how am I treating others? I’ve been really convicted in this last season to live out my faith out in the open, to actually put my faith into action to become someone who reflects God in a world searching for authentic truth, to make sure my beliefs are matching my behavior.
And most of this I’m finding, is just happening by living vulnerably. You know, all throughout scripture, we find continuous invitations to be living examples, image bearers of Jesus. 1st John tells us not to love with our words, but with our actions. People are always gonna believe what we do rather than what we say.
I don’t want to be saying empty, meaningless words, but rather let my actions towards others be an overflow of the love I’ve found in Jesus. — Ryan Stevenson

The Lyrics
I talk about grace, I talk about love,
I talk about faith but somedays I don’t have enough
I talk about forgiveness, but still learning how to give it
Lord, I need your strength to live what I believe
I want my life to preach, every breath, every beat
I want my life to preach, when I’m strong, when I’m weak
Through valley lows and mountain highs, every moment testifies
further than my words could ever reach, I want my life to preach
I talk about peace, I talk about hope,
I talk about serving others, but most days I don’t
I talk about freedom, but getting’ lost in religion
Lord, give me strength to live what I believe
Turn my days into your canvas, let me stay open handed,
with a humble heart to serve the least of these.
I want my faith to be in action, let this flame of compassion
be louder than every word I speak
