Put your "do" where your mouth is!

Are you mostly a talker? Or do you also walk what you talk? Real love doesn't only see. But real love does!!!

LPM posted a video on their website a few minutes ago informing us of a concert scheduled tonight in the Nashville area that is being performed to help raise money to go toward the despair of the Haiti people in hopes to help in their need. Encouraging us to watch and to give where we can. And, for all of us that often feel like it doesn't, even dollar counts!

Help Haiti February 27th - HelpHaitiLive.com from Compassion International on Vimeo.

If you don't live in the area, see it tonight (for free) at 7:30 CST at HelpHaitiLive.com.

Wow, though, I have to say that the timing of this video and concert after my morning of studying is wildy perfect! Woe! HUGE! God, indeed, wants for us to be His hands and His feet. DOERS!!! Not just sayers and prayers alone!

We don't have to help more than we're able. We're only asked to help where we can. From what we've been given, from how we have been blessed.

We're blessed to bless. We're given to give!

Please! Dare we not pass by our neighbor! Dare we not step over the robbed and beaten and left for dead! But may we be the Good Samaritan that we are taught and told to be. May we have compassion (come-passion! a passion that comes) that stops and sees and never passes on by the one that is put in our path for our eyes to see!

May we be to them a Jesus with skin on! May they see a real Jesus in me in the midst of their horror and need!
UPDATE:

In my attempt to watch the show live... my computer is slower than it needs to be and thus it makes me unable. I have caught glimpses of it though. And I do know enough to know this, I love the song that the show started off with:


Give Me Your Eyes
by: Brandon Heath

Looked down from a broken sky
Traced out by the city lights
My world from a mile high
Best seat in the house tonight

Touched down on the cold black tar
Hold on for the sudden stop
Breathe in the familiar shock
Of confusion and chaos

All those people going somewhere
Why have I never cared?

Give me Your eyes for just one second
Give me Your eyes so I can see
Everything that I keep missing
Give me Your love for humanity

Give me Your arms for the broken hearted
The ones that are far beyond my reach?
Give me Your heart for the one's forgotten
Give me Your eyes so I can see
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Step out on a busy street
See a girl and our eyes meet
Does her best to smile at me
To hide what's underneath

There's a man just to her right
Black suit and a bright red tie
Too ashamed to tell his wife
He's out of work he's buying time

All those people going somewhere
Why have I never cared?

Give me Your eyes for just one second
Give me Your eyes so I can see
Everything that I keep missing
Give me Your love for humanity

Give me Your arms for the broken hearted
The ones that are far beyond my reach?
Give me Your heart for the one's forgotten
Give me Your eyes so I can see
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

I've been there a million times
A couple of million eyes just moving past me by
I swear I never thought that I was wrong
Well I want a second glance
So give me a second chance
To see the way You see the people all alone

Give me Your eyes for just one second
Give me Your eyes so I can see
Everything that I keep missing
Give me Your love for humanity

Give me Your arms for the broken hearted
The ones that are far beyond my reach?
Give me Your heart for the one's forgotten
Give me Your eyes so I can see....
