Sometimes in life, we have the idea that everything is all about us. It's my car, my kids, my church, my vision, my salvation, my walk with God. If we are not careful the words I, me, and mine will come out of our mouths more than any other words that we speak.
This is a real shame, because "It" is not about you. No matter what the "It" is, its not about you. Whether it is your family, your finances or your faith, it's not about you. We see this played out in the words written in Hebrews 12:1-2
"Since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight and sin which does so easily entangle us and let us run with patience the race set before us, looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith."
When you read this passage there are certain words that begin to stick out. Words like we, us, and our, are found sprinkled all throughout this powerful passage describing what our life is really all about. In fact its pretty amazing but you will not see the words I, me or mine written anywhere in this passage that so vividly describes our faith journey.
What that lets me know is that this thing called the Christian faith, the Church and even life itself is not about you, its not about me, it is all about US. Let US lay aside every weight and sin. Let US run with patience the race set before us. Looking unto Jesus the author of finisher of who's faith? Your faith? My faith? No...OUR faith.
I great thing to remember as we live our lives is that its not about you, its not about me, its about us.
Just something to think about.
