Changed for good

Our Daily Bread
"Who can say if I've been changed for the better
But because I knew you.
I have been changed for good."
These lyrics are part of a song from the Broadway musical Wicket.  The two stars are singing about how getting to know each other has changed them...and probably for good!

As Christians, we know that meeting Christ has changed us... for good!  For good in that we don't live our lives like the folks in the world do.  For good in that God helps us make decisions that are really best for us.  For good in that this relationship will last all eternity!  Our lives have been changed.  Let's live that way and tell others!

Lord, you change those that give themselves to you.  Please help us give ourselves each and every day.

I chose Do Everything by Stephen Curtis Chapman for today's song.  Feeling like you are in a rut?  Not sure what  you are supposed to be doing with your life?  Check out these lyrics.

"Do Everything"
[video]

Your picking up toys on the living room floor for the fifteenth time today
Matching up socks
Sweeping up lost cheerios that got away

You put a baby on your hip
Color on your lips and head out the door

While I may not know you,
I bet I know you
Wonder sometimes, does it matter at all?

Well let me remind you, it all matters just as long
[CHORUS]
As you do everything you do to the glory of the One who made you,
Cause he made you,
To do
Every little thing that you do
To bring a smile to His face
Tell the story of grace
With every move that you make
And every little thing you do

[VERSE]
Maybe your that guy with the suit and tie
Maybe your shirt says your name

You may be hooking up mergers
Cooking up burgers
But at the end of the day

Little stuff
Big stuff
In between stuff
God sees it all the same

While I may not know you
I bet I know you
Wonder sometimes, does it matter at all?
Well let me remind you, it all matters just as long
As you do everything you do to the glory of the One who made you,
Cause he made you
To do

Every little thing that you do
To bring a smile to His face
Tell the story of grace
With every move that you make
And every thing you do

[BRIDGE]
Maybe your sitting in math class
Or maybe on a mission in the Congo
Or maybe your working at the office
Singing along with the radio

Maybe your a down and out rock star
Or feeding orphans in the Myanmar
Anywhere and everywhere that you are

Whatever you do
It all matters
So do what you do
Don't ever forget

To do everything you do to the glory of the One who made you,
Cause He made you
To do
Every little thing that you do
To bring a smile to His face
And tell the story of grace

As you do everything you do to the glory of the One who made you,
Cause he made you
To do
Every little thing that you do
To bring a smile to His face
And tell the story of grace
With every move that you make
And every little thing you do

In every little thing you do
In every little thing you do
