What does it really mean to lift someone up? "Higher (feat. Heidi Jensen North)" by Jensen & Company gives a clear answer to that question. The inspiration for this song comes from a young man (shown in the video) who has a beautiful ministry of prayer. He spends his free time seeking out people who are in need. He gives them a flower, a small gift, prayers, a smile, or even just an ear to listen. He looks beyond his disabilities and sees opportunities to share the love of God.
What really grabs me is the call to action. "If you see a friend standing in the road, don't walk by, take his hand so he's not alone." We are vessels of God's love when we extend His care to others. A smile, walking up to someone who is lost, offering help, showing some compasion when life took an unexpected twist. Open your heart, and God will let you know what you can do.
Heidi sings: "He'll take us higher, higher, higher, because He's faithful and always there." It's also a reminder that looking upward not only changes our perspective, but it also expands our ability to serve. There's always somebody who has a greater need than yourself…. If we could all only remember that!
May this song help you to recognize your unique potential to share God's ever-present love.
