It’s not about me!

When I forget you,

When I feel all alone,

When I go my own way,

When I think I know best,

When I choose my own plans,

It’s not about me.

You are faithful.

It’s not about me!

When things don’t go as I think they should,

When things seem out of control,

When I worry about the future,

When I fear for my loved ones,

When my faults niggle in the night,

It’s not about me.

You are peace.

It’s not about me!

I can’t do anything to earn your love.

I can’t do anything to make you love me more (or less).

I can’t run away from your love,

Nor hide from you,

You will seek me out and

Find me.

It’s not about me.

You are loving.

It’s not about me!

When I am not good enough,

When I fail,

When I stumble,

When I sin,

It’s not about me.

The work was finished on the cross.

You are sufficient.

It’s not about me!

When I am undeserving (always),

When I just can’t get this right,

When I say the wrong thing (again),

When I do my own thing,

When I put my own needs ahead of others’.

It’s not about me.

You paid the price.

You are forgiving.

It is NOT because I am good enough.

It is NOT because of my character.

It is NOT because I am faithful.

It is NOT because I do the right thing.

It is NOT because I live a good life.

My confidence cannot be about me.

My confidence is NOT based on who I am,

My confidence is based on the character of God.

IF it’s all about me,

If it’s about what I do,

Or how hard I pray,

Or my own efforts,

Then Christ died for nothing!

It’s not about me.

And at the same time,

IT’S ALL FOR ME!

It’s about a perfect, holy, and loving God,

reconciling sinful and broken people to Himself,

So that we can be in relationship with Him.

We can’t do it on our own,

It’s not about me,

It’s all about Him.

Hebrews 10:19-23:  “Therefore, brethren, since we have confidence to enter the holy place by the blood of Jesus, 20 by a new and living way which He inaugurated for us through the veil, that is, His flesh, 21 and since we have a great priest over the house of God, 22 let us draw near with a]sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. 23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful...”
