Michael Jackson's, Man In the Mirror

I woke up about 4:30 a.m. this morning with Michael Jackson’s song, ‘Man In the Mirror’ just ringing in my ear. I got up to go to AZ Lyrics to download the words. I believe the message I’m suppose to convey today is in the lyrics to this song. Throughout the challenges I’ve endured in my body, there’s one thing that’s been intriguing me the most and that is, if I’m suffering this much and going without sufficient help every week, then what’s happening to those that are worst off than me?

Now this is just to target some of the church community. We are going about on our jobs and going to church, sometimes out of town, while there are members in your church struggling. You would rather travel 100 mile’s away to a church, give them an offering of $500 to represent your church and make you look good. But what about the faithful members in your church that are asking for help, that $500 could have gone to help them. Don’t you know that if you take care of your family, that’ll make the bond at home stronger? Therefore growing your family at home so you can leave some at home to minister and some can travel to represent. Some people wonder why they keep losing members, one reason is because you have faithful members there for years and when tragedy strikes in their family, the church that they attend (not God’s church) is not there for them. I’m done. Please take a minute and read through some of the lyrics to Michael Jackson’s, ‘Man in the Mirror.’ Have a blessed day.

Man In the Mirror: I’m gonna make a change, for once in my life, its gonna feel real good, gonna make a difference, gonna make it right. As I turn up the collar on my favorite winter coat, this wind is blowin my mind, I see the kids in the street with not enough to eat. Who am I, to be blind? Pretending not to see their needs. A summer’s disregard, a broken bottle top and a one man’s soul they follow each other on. The wind ya know, ‘cause they got nowhere to go, that’s why I want you to know…
I’m starting with the man in the mirror, I’m asking him to change his ways, and no message could have been any clearer, if you wanna make the world a better place, take a look at yourself, and then make a change.
I’ve been a victim of a selfish kind of love, its time that I realize that there are some with no home, not a nickel to loan. Could it be really me, pretending that they’re not alone? A willow deeply scarred, somebody’s broken heart. And a washed-out dream they follow the pattern of the wind, ya see. Cause they got no place to be.
That’s why I’m starting with the man in the mirror……….

There’s so much lack in the church world, in the world, what are we doing about it. What will you do?
What will I do?
