Free Hugs

I visited YouTube to see who won the First Annual Awards. I was most moved by the award to Juan Mann for freehugs video. Click on this link here to YouTube to watch this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vr3x_RRJdd4 I watched it and I will share with you the link above. Watch it and consider these lyrics from Casting Crowns (note bolded chorus, my emphasis),

"If We Are The Body, "Lyrics by Mark Hall Music by Casting CrownsSong based on James 2:1-9© 2003 Club Zoo Music

It's crowded in worship todayAs she slips in trying to fade into the facesThe girls teasing laughter is carrying farther than they knowFarther than they know

Chorus: But if we are the body Why aren't His arms reaching? Why aren't His hands healing? Why aren't His words teaching? And if we are the body Why aren't His feet going? Why is His love not showing them there is a way? There is a way

A traveler is far away from home He sheds his coat and quietly sinks into the back rowThe weight of their judgmental glancesTells him that his chances are better out on the roadJesus paid much too high a priceFor us to pick and choose who should comeAnd we are the body of ChristJesus is the way

I wonder what if we as Christians reached out our arms to hug those who need God's love in a real way. I wonder what God could do through us. Where are the free hugs from God's people to a lost and lonely world?
