What If?

I wonder what would happen if we really trusted God?  What would really happen if we believed all of His promises?  What if we REALLY believed that God is not man that He should lie?  What would happen if we didn't walk in fear?  What would happen if we spoke His word and things that we were believing for actually came to pass?  What if we truly walked by faith and not by sight?  What if we tithed according to His requirements?  What if we gave shelter to the homeless and food to the hungry?  What would really happen if we did the things that God required of us?  What if we were really willing to put in the work to reap the reward?  What if we lived our lives as if God was watching our every step? (Which He is).  What if we strive to bring peace and not strife?  What if we walked in God's agape love?  What would happen if we truly loved our neighbor as we love ourselves?  What if we forgave those who hurt us?  What would happen?  What if we thought before we opened our mouths to speak?  What if we fasted and prayed on the behalf of others?  I wonder how far an encouraging word would go?  What if we greeted each other in love and not with hate and envy?  Hey, what would happen if I gave you a hug instead of a dagger in your back?  What would happen if you were broke and I gave you gas money?  What if you had a need for something and I gave it to you?  What would happen if we stopped sleeping around?  I wonder what would happen if we truly believed that our body is His temple?  What would happen if I spoke His word and actually received true healing and deliverance?  What would happen?  What would happen if we could lay hands and give sight to the blind?  What would happen if I called an enemy and told them that I loved them?  I wonder what would happen if we really trusted God?
