What If?

I often wonder what would happen if:

- We find out God is bigger than the little boxes we like to put Him in?
- We admit we don't have it all together and there's more to learn?
- We focused more on listening to people & less on correcting them?
- We stopped majoring in minors and sweating the small stuff?
- The churches would admit their abuses and repent?
- There were less ladder climbing, policy-makers and more pray-ers?
- Salvation is really NOT as complicated as some people like to make it?
- Real sinners no longer shocked us and glossy, over-acheivers didn't impress us?
- We dared to mingle with other people with different views?
- We didn't have to appoint official "greeters" because every member was friendly?
- Our hearts were free to enjoy living abundantly and loving unconditionally?
- Worship meant more than sitting like statues with glazed eyes & organ music?
- Each person was free to question and seek a relationship with God for themselves?
- We realized we aren't the only people in the world who love truth?
- We gave each other the freedom to be who we are in Christ- without judging?
- What if we dropped the masks we hide behind and weren't afraid to be real?

Maybe we would really be different and would have more to offer a hurting world...
