“My greatest gift will be the least you’re due.” Matt Redman
There is something about those lyrics that puts me in my place. Putting things in perspective can change my life, my attitude and it humbles me. When I stand before an all-consuming, powerful, and awesome God, my perspective is reordered. Everyday, I awaken to a world that points to self as the answer and every morning it is my desire to re-orient myself to the source that is greater.
Why do I do this? I do this because the Love of my God compels me to move toward him and walk in a way, which honors Him; because walking according to the ways of “self” sacrifices God’s ways, which are high above my ways. I have heard people say that we are to sacrifice our lives to God, but I never really understood that statement. We don’t sacrifice anything because in giving ourselves we actually find life and find our true self--- the way God intended us to be. Everyday I want to walk in this light and be the light.
