It's all about YOU!

It is amazing to me how sometimes the littlest things can CRUSH your spirit. You can wake up in the best of moods and then all of a sudden BOOM, someone or something gets in the way of your peace. Maybe its a blown out tire on the way to work, someone cuts you off on the interstate. Maybe someone else is in a bad mood and they radiate it like fire to you consuming you with their frustration.

I find that sometimes when I find inner peace and calm, I am selfish about keeping it, wanting to stay happy for me. That didn't happen today. CRASH BAM BOOM!!! and my spirit was smothered with frustration. That hurts. It hurts when on a day like Sunday where I am supposed to be radiating Christ, I just want to step on someone else's spirit so that mine feels better. Yeah, that doesn't work.

Often God puts songs in my head. I know it is God because they make sense to my mood and feelings about the world or prepare me for whatever comes next. So, here is the song that God decided I needed tonight. AND, it is OH so true.

When the music fades and all is stripped away
And I simply come
Longing just to bring something that's of worth
That will bless Your heart

I'll bring You more than a song
For a song in itself is not what You have required
You search much deeper within through the way things appear
You're looking into my heart

I'm coming back to the heart of worship
And it's all about You, it's all about You, Jesus
I'm sorry, Lord, for the thing I've made it
When it's all about You, it's all about You, Jesus

King of endless worth no one could express
How much You deserve though I'm weak and poor
All I have is Yours every single breath
(The Heart of Worship - Matt Redman)

Sometimes in life we just need to be reminded that God is there. Sometimes when we are ready to punch someone for breaking our spirit or cutting us off on the freeway - we need to remember that God is there.

God is there to pick us back up, dust us off and start ALL over again. I think I needed that today. I needed to be reminded that I am coming back to the heart of worship -- the heart of why I do what I do, the heart of where my passion lies.

"I'm sorry Lord for the thing I made it, because it's all about you- all about you, Jesus."
