Love this song!!! So short, but packed with TRUTH and PASSION!!
“Take away everything about me Jesus, and “Let them see You” in me. This is truly my heart’s desire even though I fail You every day somehow. I thank You for the conviction of the Holy Spirit that breaks my heart every time I do.”
I consider myself just an ordinary person. I think most of us feel that way about ourselves. But just ordinary is what God loves to use. God uses ordinary people who fell head over heels in love with Jesus.
I love what Jesus asks Peter in John 21:17, “Do you love me?” He ask him this not once, but three times. I remember wondering why did Jesus ask him this same question three times. If you go on to read the rest of the verse Jesus says, …. “Then feed my sheep.” In my opinion, if we have experienced this magnificent love of our Savior, we want to feed as many as we can, out of our love for Him. He didn’t say to Peter, “now that you know enough about me, go feed My sheep.” He said if you love me “then feed My sheep.”
We may not be any Billy Graham, but we are still useful to God if we have the love of Jesus to offer this world. Love attracts people in my opinion, more than knowledge. Yes God wants us to seek knowledge, but as you seek knowledge you can’t help but see the love of our Savior. Without love, 1 Corinthians 13: 1 says, “I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.” Without love for God and people, our knowledge is of no use to God. To say or to do good to others without the compassionate heart of God, and out of love for Him alone, is of no use to anyone.
All Jesus ever said was to follow Him. For me personally, I’ve found my Purpose, have you? Are you following Him? We all have a purpose here. To follow Jesus in His ways, to love our enemy, but to hate what is evil, and to go out and feed His sheep.
Oh how I pray Father “Let them see You” in me. Not just when it’s easy, but in the hard ugly times too.
