In the last few weeks I have found myself singing the same song over and over again. Yes, it’s stuck in my mind. But in all truth, I think it’s a song that the Lord has instilled within me. He wants the truths declared in this song to penetrate my very being. The song’s chorus declares,
“It’s all about You, Jesus. And all this is for You,
for Your glory and Your fame.
It’s not about me, as if You should do things my way.
You alone are God and I surrender to Your ways.”
I feel like I have a new awareness in my life that everything I do needs to be centered around Jesus. As I live this way, I find so much comfort. Comfort because when I feel like my hard work and endeavors don’t quite meet the mark, I have comfort because all of this isn’t about me anyway. I am not here to promote myself, my church, my ministry, my (fill in the blank). I am here to bring glory and fame to my Lord.
And as I surrender to Him, He becomes in charge of everything. He is in the driver’s seat; and though He uses me as a willing vessel, the results of my labor are ultimately His responsibility and not my own. Colossians 1:16-17 says, “All things have been created through Him and for Him. He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.” It’s all about Jesus. I surrender to His ways.
