Do You Really Want To See?
Sometimes we close our eyes because we don’t want to we see things as they are. Sometimes we close our eyes because we don’t want to face something challenging. We need to ask ourselves if we want to see things as Jesus does, and if we do we need to come to him. To ask him to give us his sight, and to give us his heart so that once we see things as he does we can then act in a manner that reveals who he is.
Do you want Justice?
We all desire to see justice for the oppressed and to see things set right. Christians are called to seek justice, pursue justice, and love justice. This is because we serve a just God. So we need to be agents of justice by seeking to set things right. To help those in need, rescue those in trouble, and heal broken hearts.
Proverbs 21:15

The Israelites were even forbidden to destroy fruit tree’s or orchards in times of war. Deuteronomy 20:19

Labour of Love
Do you get stuck in routines and everyday duties? These are not bad things, but often we find ourselves trudging along through them. Our purpose is to labour in love and help those who need it, and sometimes when we can pour love into helping someone who really needs a person to walk with them, it gives us the ability to approach our everyday tasks with new energy and passion.
Name Above – Original Song
In Philippians 2, Jesus is described as being exalted to the highest place and is given a name is above every name. As Easter approaches, Dave reflects on this and wrote this song.
