It’s not about me. It’s not about you. It’s about him. It’s not about what I can do or what I have, it’s about him and what he’s done. It’s not about you or what you’ve done or can do. It’s about him. I’m convinced that no one needs to be told they have problems or that they aren’t perfect. Even if they claim they are okay, in reality, they know better. The best way we can share the goodness of The Father isn’t by pointing out others faults, it’s about showing them a better way. One doesn’t need to be a theologian to proclaim Christ to others. In fact, often it’s the less educated in the depths of scripture that are most effective. The average person is best reached by simple facts. “Jesus loves me, this I know.” That’s all I really need to know and that is the basis of joy!

Thank you Pastor for this! Wonderful! Makes me feel that I, too, am important in where I am in my spiritual learning and what I can do for others. Yes, I can make a difference. I don’t need to be a scholar!

Yes Ginger, we can all make a difference because of God working in and through us! I’m so glad you were encouraged by my words…well, his words! 🙂
B Blessed!

This Psalm was part of my daily Bible reading today! And you are so right, Mike, it’s not about us, it’s all about God. We can only offer the gifts He’s given us, in the right way, when they are offered to His glory.
Blessings!

Amen Martha! It’s sometimes encouraging and sometimes humbling to realize it’s not at all about me. I think one of my gifts is speaking/teaching and I have to admit to you I was a little proud of that…until I read an article in which a survey found that 85% of pastors feel their gift is speaking. 🙂
B Blessed!
