what does that make me?


One of my favorite bands and worship leaders is David Crowder.  I have gravitated to his music several times over the last 5 years or so.  Simply and incredible songs that lead me and others to see, experience and worship our awesome God!

Last evening as I was mowing and listening to music one of Crowder’s songs  I was overcome with one line… “what does that make me?”  Incredible thought that I want to share with you today.

Here are some of the lyrics to David Crowder’s song “Everything Glorious”:

The day is brighter here with You
The night is lighter than its hue
Would lead me to believe
Which leads me to believe

You make everything glorious
You make everything glorious
Yeah, You make everything glorious
And I am Yours,
What does that make me?

Yes, our God makes everything, and everything He makes is glorious and special.  That means you and I are the same as the other things our great God created.  We are glorious.

We are glorious based on the creation and grace of God.  It is not based on the anything we have done or anything that we are on our own a part from God.  How awesome it is to know that the creator of the universes sees us and knows us to be glorious?  That is how he made us.

When we see ourselves based on facts like this, our lives will home a much different outcome.  That is when we live in abundance.  That is when we life with strength as only God can.

Jeremiah 29:11  NLT
For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.

John 1:12  NLT
But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God.

On the playground when we were young there were lots of things said that were very hard.  Something like, “I know you are but what am I?”  Another might be, “what does that make me?”

Kids can be cruel.  Humans can be cruel.  But our God is awesome.  He believes in us.  He made us glorious.  It is our opportunity to live that truth out.  God is good!

Have you heard of EDITH BURNS?

Edith Burns was a wonderful Christian who lived in San Antonio, Texas . She was the patient of a doctor by the name of Will Phillips. Dr. Phillips was a gentle doctor who saw patients as people. His favorite patient was Edith Burns.  One morning he went to his office with a heavy heart and it was because of Edith Burns.  When he walked into that waiting room, there sat Edith with her big black Bible in her lap earnestly talking to a young mother sitting beside her.  Edith Burns had a habit of introducing herself in this way: "Hello, my name is Edith Burns.  Do you believe in Easter?" Then she would explain the meaning of Easter, and many times people would be saved.  Dr. Phillips walked into that office and there he saw the head nurse, Beverly. Beverly had first met Edith when she was taking her blood pressure. Edith began by saying,"My name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?"  Beverly said, "Why yes I do."  Edith said, "Well, what do you ...

wash feet, sharing hope

  John 13:4-5,14 NLT  So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, 5 and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel he had around him… 14 And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. Jesus set the example we follow.  He served.  He valued and gave value to others.  That is why we choose to serve. For 18 years our church has shared an outreach called back2school, and for 16 of those years we have chosen to give students brand new shoes and socks as well as washing their feet.  It is one of the most important parts of this event. Washing feet is a humbling experience where both the give and the receiver learn how to share some moments that might change their lives.  Jesus said we should do this.  See the verse above.  Follow His example, do what He did, and give far more than you will ever know....
