It's All About Me Jesus
I love being a part of our church's praise and worship team. About once a month I refile all the music that we've used that month in an alphabetical file folder.
Today I noticed that one of the folders is MUCH bigger than the rest. It's the folder labeled
... I ...
Hmm.
And then it hit me. Even our worship is all about us. We sing, "It's all about You, It's all about You Jesus!"
If only it were true.
I want - I will - I hope - I dream
My desire - My joy - My wish
I write music and I have to admit that some of my lyrics are self-focused too. The wonder of God loving me is - astonishing really.
But I want GOD to be seen above all.
A window! Yes, that's what I want to be. It's not there to be looked at, just through.
John 3:30
HE must increase but I must decrease.
So true Sally...me, me, me....but my prayer is for Him to change it in me to HIM, HIM, HIM...
ReplyDeleteI recently read the book by John MacArthur called "Slave." It really challenged my thinking on my position before God and others. "I am not my own. I'm bought with a price." I'm not a hired hand with rights, I'm owned by my Master. What a blessing that he bought me with His Own Blood! These realities are hitting me right in the heart lately.
