ARE YOU BEING JESUS AND HAVE YOU SEEN GOD

I want you to take a few mins and read the lyrics to a song below and i dont want you to just read them but think about the lyrics and what they are saying 
I just walked down the street to the coffee shop had to take a break  I'd been by her side for eighteen hours straight I saw a flower growing in the middle of the sidewalk pushing up through the concrete like it was planted right there for me to see the flashin' lights, the honkin' horns all seemed to fade away in the shadow of that hospital at 5:08 I saw God today Chorus: I've been to church I've read the book I know He's here, but I don't look near as often as I should Yeah, I know I should His fingerprints are everywhere I'd just slow down to stop and stare opened my eyes and man I swear I saw God today I saw a couple walking by they were holding hands Man, she had that glow yeah I couldn't help but notice she was starting to show it stood there for a minute takin' the sky lost in that sunset a splash of amber melted in the shades of red Chorus I got my face pressed up against the nursery glass She's sleeping like a rock My name on her wrist wearing tiny pink socks She's got my nose, she's got her mama's eyes My brand new baby girl She's a miracle  I saw God today
This song talks about seeing God today and seeing him in not untypical  places 
such as a cuple walking down the street or  flowers going through concreate  
i mean we as christians go to church every week or so and  we talk to our friends but do we ever really see God i mean in the little things such as flowers or cuple smiling cause their pegant or  in birds flying. I mean we talk about reading the bible and reaching out to those who dont know Christ, however i have found that  children and alot of none christians and even animals and pets know God better than we do and see him more than we do  and I truly believe we dont look as much as we should and really dont have to look that hard I mean God plays a role in everything we do  but as Christians we have more to do than just look for God  which leads to my next point  once again read the lyrics to this song and think about what the lyrics are saying

talks about how insted of talking badly about people and or going by rumors 
we need to be Jesus to these people and some of them dont know Jesus and others
do but and their in the church 
and what i find interesting as christians were called to love one another and be there for others 
be it our best friends our worst enemies or people we dont even know however 
we treat some of our own worse than those we dont but we all have this sin of 
trying to pretend were better than others and thats in no way of being a Christian and or being a family 
and im going to be blunt  there will always be people who do what you dont think 
is right or even agree but if really want to impact this world of ours maybe 
we should start walking the walk  by saying as we do for instance 
when  we know someone is getting a divorce insted of shunning them and treating them 
like the worlds worst people lets say hey how can help you 
or im praying for you 
is there anything you need 
i know shocking ideas and thoughts 
but  bring this all back into thought 
i have started looking for God on daily base and  trying to be Jesus  to everyone 
around me simply by saying hi or talking to people 
and yet  praying to God 
imagine what could happen if we all did this  
imagine how amazing it would be For God 
and it all you have to do is be your self 
and relize your no better than the next person espolly to God 
cause in the end 
when you die 
God wont ask how many  millions you made 
he will ask you 
how many people to impact and glorify for me

church really whats point part 2

i leave these thoughts out to my friends and bible/ym major friends for their insight or even bible professors Yesterday I went to church with some of my friends and i found some very interesting feelings and views on christianity for myself we as christians are suppose to be the church, and were called to love and encourage each other whether we are friends or not were all brothers and sisters in Christ but what i find interesting as christians we have decided to tear our selves part and the devil is having a blast while we knock our selves by this i mean if your ( these are typical stereotypes of different groups not specific to any one person i have all of these in my fam and im going off them) Baptist many of them feel like they have the right form of christianity and if your presbyterian you feel as though you usually dont take stand on tough issues your right with God better than others those who are Catholic feel that you need to go though x many amount of saints to get to heaven and talk to God, and if your church of christ your the only right faith and Episcopalian your baptized as a baby and forever saved from all sin however the thing i find interesting is that no one form of christianity has it right because first were never to divided in the first place were supoose to be the church and not 50 forms of it and even though are difference in the end and in the skim of it are very small, our similarites should be what we focus on but we dont and we dicied to focus on our differences and judge other forms of christianity and try be explain why which ever form of christianity you choose is better than all the others and people want to know why were not saving souls and why we lose people its simply becuase we judge people on the stupidest things and reasons and on top of that were trying to one up eachother insted trying to help eachother out and say im of coc but hey if cathlic is more for you ill go with you or ill help find a church or hey i want to be a christian and im here for you every step of the way see where as in so many others forms of reglion they dont fight each other some do yes but us as christians should be working with our brothers and sisters no matter what form of christianity they are cause in the end God could careless what form of christainty you were apart of he going to look at your heart and judge you off that and i believe he would rather have a person who is a christian fighting to save souls of people than us worrying about why our form christainity is better than another and were suposed to be united how can we say were united when were fighting eachother so for these reasons im still struggling to find the purpose in "church"
