In a moment I'm thought I'd play the video for Another chance by Roger
Sanchez which is currently playing on MTV
And I want you to watch closely, because I want you to tell me what you think it is
about
[Play video. Note you can view the video on line at www.rogersanchez.com. If you need to get a copy of
the video, mail me and I will see what I
can do]
What do you think that video is about?
A woman looking for someone to love or somebody to loves her back
A woman looking for someone to give their heart to
About getting put off, disheartened
Middle bit
It seems to me that the woman in the video is looking for something, maybe someone to
love, or share her life with…someone to give her heart to…
I don't know about you, but I can relate to that…we don't like to admit it but if
we are honest we all want someone to care about us, someone to love us
But the trouble is that sometimes we don't feel like anybody does care about us
And out heart grows cold...small, like on the video, and that can hurt us on the inside
Sometimes we feel like that because let us down, people say things to us like:
Your stupid
Your a looser
Your thick
You've got the wrong clothes
Or may me you feel ugly
Or other people are better than you
That’s people for you!
The Bible tells us that God is not like that:
1 Sam 16:7 P258 "…People look at the outside of a person, but the Lord looks
at the heart"
John 14:1 P1082 "Jesus said, 'Don't let you hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and
trust in me.
God looks at us in the inside, and tells us not to worry about all that other
stuff…what people say…
The Bible says this to us:
John 14:6 P1082 "I am the way, and the truth, and the life …"
Revelation 3:20 P1334 "Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If you hear my
voice and open the door, I will come in and eat with you, and you will eat with me."
In other words, we can try all we want to give our hearts to people, other things...but
only God can make us "complete"
And he's just there, waiting for us to make the move
End bit
I thought it would be good to think about this for a moment
What I would like you to do, it take a pen and a 'heart' (heart shaped piece of paper)
And write down something that is on your "heart" at this time
Something that's worrying you
Something we've said
If you don't want to do this, don't
Post it in the prayer box
