It's Not About Me.

I wrote this spoken word not too long ago. I'm slowly learning that life isn't about me. that the universe doesn't revolve around me. God doesn't owe me anything, but when i trust in him, he will take care of me. I am blessed.

-It's Not About Me-

When will I understand

that my life isn’t in my hands…

That it’s not about me!

That it’s nothing that I, -myself can be

It’s something that I cannot grasp

all I can do is hold fast

…to love

It’s not about me, you see

It’s about bigger things,

more important things;

Because my life can be gone in an instant.

Instantly I can be

…gone and distant

Life is but a mist

And in the midst of it all

…I can be taken away

Here today, but gone tomorrow

So I must chose wisely -to what I will follow

You see, the bigger things, the more important Things

The things I need to see

Is that it’s not about me

… but the King

The King who sits on his throne

And he’s all alone

… longing for his people

He’s begging for them to change

To change their hearts -and love him.

Love only him.

But in their hearts they refuse to part with the things not of the king.

…And just like it’s not about me…

It’s not about you, too

It’s not about anything that WE can do

But only about what HE can do

It’s about what He can do through me

…And through you

When we set ourselves aside, can he truly shine

It’s time to realize that it’s not the things that we can do

But what the King can show His glory through
