It’s not about me.
No, It’s not about me.
NO, it’s not about me.
Most Definitely, it Is NOT about me.
It’s not about you.
No, it’s not about you.
NO, it’s not about you.
Most Definitely, it is NOT about you.
Nor is it about all of humanity……about us.
It’s all about Jesus!
Yes, It’s all about Jesus!
YES, It is all about Jesus!
YES, MOST DEFINITELY, IT IS ALWAYS ABOUT Jesus!

Please Pause (and if time allows), please listen to a wonderful melody by Anne Wilson titled “My Jesus.”
It is Him WHO we live for.
HE is the reason for our HOPE.
HE is the love we share….GOD’S LOVE! 
We surrender….to Him.
We give our days, our moments, our years…..to GOD!
It’s all about seeking God’s face.
It’s all about seeking God’s face.
It’s all about seeking God’s face.
YES, IT IS ALWAYS ABOUT SEEKING HIM!

We seek (as the psalmist David, who continually sought after God’s heart) reminds us….

“When You said, “Seek My face,” my heart said to You; Your face, O LORD, I shall seek” (Psalm 27: 8).

May we Learn…..May we Strive….May we Seek…..

TO WALK SO CLOSELY WITH OUR FATHER,
TO FOLLOW HIS LEADING,
TO TOUCH THE HEM OF HIS RIGHTEOUS ROBE,
TO REMAIN SO NEAR TO GOD.
TO FIND OURSELVES NEVER MOVING AWAY FROM GOD, BUT WALKING SO CLOSELY WITH OUR LORD THAT WE BUMP INTO HIM.
TO SEE HIS FACE.
TO SEEK HIS WILL.
TO SERVE IN HIS MISSION.
TO WANT ONLY HIM.
TO DESIRE ONLY GOD.
TO RECEIVE HIS SON JESUS, THE ONE GOD SENT TO US…..JESUS…..!
WHO DIED…..!
WHO WAS RESURRECTED TO NEW LIFE…..!
WHO RETURNED TO PARADISE AND SAT DOWN BY THE FATHER……!
WHO INTERCEDES TO GOD FOR US WHEN WE SIN AGAINST HIM…..!
WHO LOVES US…..
WHO PURSUES US…….!
WHO HOLDS ONTO US, HOLDS TIGHTLY OUR HAND WITHIN HIS HAND…..!
WHO NEVER LETS US GO…..!
WHO NEVER LEAVES US…..!
WHO KEEPS US SECURE WITHIN HIS SALVATION…..!
WHO ETERNALLY KEEPS US WITHIN GOD’S PRESENCE…..!
WHO GIVES US SWEET SALVATION…..!
WHO FILLS US WITH HIS JOY….!
WHO IS COMING, RETURNING FOR US…..INDIVIDUALLY…..HIS PROMISE TO EACH OF US…..!
WHO WILL COME DOWN TO RETRIEVE US WHEN OUR LIFE IS COMPLETE…..
TO TAKE US TO HIM….TO GOD….TO LIVE FOREVER WITH HIM…..!
YES, THIS LIFE, OUR LIFE……IT IS NEVER, EVER ABOUT ME, OR NEVER, EVER ABOUT YOU, OR NEVER, EVER ABOUT US.
MY LIFE, YOUR LIFE…..IT IS NEVER OURS AT ALL, BUT A LIFE GIVEN TO US…….TO LIVE FOR HIM……!
TO LIVE THROUGH HIM…….!
TO ALLOW GOD TO LIVE THROUGH US……TODAY…..TOMORROW……&…..FOR ALL THE TOMORROWS…….FOREVERMORE LIVING……FOR HIM……FOR GOD!

So, we Thank You Jesus for giving Your life for ours.
Thank You Jesus for taking our lives out of our hands and for giving us eternal life…..!

We may fall apart inside and out;
We may walk about in this world in confusion,  & As Paul was inspired by You when he wrote to those believers living in the city Corinth….“Therefore, being always of good courage, and knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the LORD—-for we walk by faith, not by sight—-we are of good courage, I say, and prefer rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with the LORD” (2 Corinthians 5: 6-8).

We may struggle to find purpose here in this world, or meaning, or direction, or earthly happiness, or peace from our enemies……BUT Thank You…..GOD…..for continually reminding us through the comfort found in Your Holy Spirit, the peace we can never find here on earth OR in people OR in Knowledge of earthly things OR in degrees OR in other people OR in things we buy OR in Anything ever found within this world.
OH GOD, WE KNOW,  &  WE REALIZE THAT OUR JOY IS ONLY FOUND IN YOU.
YES, ONLY YOU!!!
So help us live every second we are given to live in this life…….for YOU….!
Help us live without any regrets….with no What IF I had done this Or done that.
No What IF I had said this Or said that.
No What IF I had followed when You spoke, telling us to stay here or leave and go there.
We are made in the image of God.
We are beautiful because of His beauty.
When we are His child, we receive His aroma.
We can have courage & we can find confidence to walk, to step out, to find out….only because of You….GOD…..!
You are the One we are trusting.
Because You….GOD…..!
Because You lead us by Your hand……!
And because when we fall down, & when we scrap our knees,  &  when others push us down, &  when they attempt to lead us astray, away from YOU,…then You….GOD, will lead us back to You, for we know that You are our Father……!

Because we Believe;
Because we Have Accepted Your Salvation;  &
Because we Have Confessed & Will Continually Confess our sins we commit against You……..GOD……!
We are not afraid.
We are courageous. 
We are running…..not away, but toward You…..GOD!
We are on the way UP to You….GOD!
We are citizens of heaven, all because of You….GOD!
