It’s all about you Jesus
I love the song by Matt Redman
called “The heart of worship.”
Part of the song says “I’m sorry
Lord for the thing I’ve made it,
when it’s all about you, it’s all
about you Jesus”
Very often however it’s not,
because “it” (no matter what “it”
is) is often about us.
I was thinking about this in the
light of sharing our faith. There
have been countless times when
I’ve someone say “It’s just not
me” or, “I’m really not that
comfortable talking about
spiritual things”, or something
like that.I understand how
people feel, but when it’s all said
and done, it’s not really about
you is it?
Matt Redman’s words about worship could just as well
be applied to any part of our lives as followers of
Jesus – it’s all about you Jesus. I guess that’s really
what an integrated life is all about. It’s moving beyond
likes and dislikes, personal comfort or discomfort, and
saying “it’s all about you Jesus.” As in so many issues
to do with following Jesus however, it’s fundamentally
about trust. Do I trust the Holy Spirit to give me the
right things to say to someone about Jesus, or am I
relying on my own strength? Does my fear of being
tongue-tied and awkward hold me back from sharing
something of Christ, or am I prepared to step out of my
comfort zone and trust God?
Why don’t you get bold this week and trust God? I’ll
bet you’ll be surprised how he uses you, after all, it’s
about Jesus.
