Gaining Perspective

In case you're wondering, writing this blog is not easy for me. Correction: I love writing this blog- sharing it is hard for me. A million questions bombard me the second I hit "share". What do people think? Am I overstepping? Over sharing? But it comes down to this....

For the sake of the world burn like a fire in me

Light a flame in my soul for every eye to see

For the sake of the world burn like a fire in me

For every knee to bow down

For every heart to believe

For every voice to cry out

Burn like a fire in me

For every tongue to confess

You alone are the king

You are the hope of the world

Burn like a fire in me

(Bethel Live- For the Sake of the World)

The other day I got really down on myself. Am I pretty enough? Wealthy enough? Am I a good mom? I'm a horrible cook... I don't read enough... I could go on. So I turn on worship music (the song above comes on) and dance around with my beautiful daughter and I can't help but gain a little perspective. We are here for two reasons- to give glory to our Savior and to be disciples. So for the sake of the world, I will continue to write. And if one person is encouraged, I count this a win. 

Lord, for the sake of the world, burn like a fire in ME! For the sake of my daughter, burn like a fire in ME! For the sake of the lost, burn like a fire in ME! For the sake of bringing you glory, burn like a fire in ME!

What are you living for today?
