Changed for Good

Went to see the play Wicked recently … enjoyed it immensely and could see it again and again. There is one song that stuck with me, so I looked up the lyrics … deep meaning there … here is a section of the song that moved me …

It well may be, that we will never meet again
In this lifetime, so let me say before we part:
So much of me is made of what I learned from you,
You’ll be with me, like a handprint on my heart.

And now, whatever way our stories end,
I know you have rewritten mine, by being my friend.
Who can say if I’ve been changed for the better?
But, because I knew you, I have been changed for good.

That song is a wonderful reminder to me of how people can change our lives, of how I can be a force for good with others. There are so many ways we help people all day long and it’s good to be reminded that even chance encounters offer us a chance to leave handprints on hearts. Think about how you can touch a heart today … there is always a need, if only you and I reflect on how we can best use our handprints.

One other thing I think … if Jesus is your friend, your life has in fact been rewritten. And you have in fact been changed for the better … and for good.
