It’s Not About Me

 

I must admit that I like it when people compliment me and talk about what a great person I am. I do get embarrassed and I’m not sure how to reply, but a part of me does like that. I’ve learned over the last several years that if I am anything of value, it comes from the Lord. If I am kind, it’s the Lord. Any gift or talent that I possess comes from the Lord. If I do receive compliments, they should be directed to the Lord. He’s the Source of everything that makes me good at anything. I’m now operating with eternal currency and that money is always spent on others and never on myself.

¹ Not to us, Lord, not to us
    but to your name be the glory,
    because of your love and faithfulness.

³ Our God is in heaven;
    he does whatever pleases him.

¹¹ You who fear him, trust in the Lord—
    he is their help and shield.

¹³ he will bless those who fear the Lord—
    small and great alike.

¹⁴ May the Lord cause you to flourish,
    both you and your children.
¹⁵ May you be blessed by the Lord,
    the Maker of heaven and earth. (Psalm 115:1,3,11,13-15 NIV)

I serve at the call of the King of Kings.

My life is all about His Kingdom and not my own.

The activities of my life should reflect my commitment to Him and my trust in Him.

Without Him, I am nothing. With Him, I have everything! This is not any kind of secret – He’s been calling me to this for years – It’s simply clearer now than ever before. My life- my work- all that makes up “me” belong to Him!

My Heart Is Yours

I give You my life I give You my trust Jesus

You are my God You are enough Jesus

I give You my life I give You my trust Jesus

You are my God You are enough Jesus  

 

My heart is Yours My heart is Yours

Take it all Take it all My life in Your hands

 

I lay down my life I take up my cross Jesus

For You are my God Whatever the cost Jesus

My heart is Yours My heart is Yours

Take it all Take it all My life in Your hands

 

All to Jesus I surrender All to You I freely give

I will ever love and trust You

In Your presence I will live

Lord All to Jesus I surrender All to You I freely give

Oh I will ever love and trust You In Your presence I will live

 

My heart is Yours My heart is Yours

Take it all Take it all My life in Your hands (by Kristian Stanfill)
