“It’s not about me.”
View all responses“It’s not about me.” My autobiography isn’t about me because my life is amazing when my focus isn’t on me.
I’m just a spectator watching an invisible being working in and through me. His name is Jesus and I’m writing my autobiography that features what Christ is doing in and around me almost every time I blog. Here’s the latest edition of “It’s Not About Me.”
I felt prompted by Jesus to learn Spanish in January of 2023 and began everyday watching videos in Spanish, reading a Spanish New Testament, and using Duolingo. Around August a Spanish speaking couple (Deysi and Ivan) moved next door to my wife and me. They have been so patient to let me practice on them. We have connected heart-to-heart and above all, they deeply love Jesus. Gloria a Dios!
Yesterday, Deysi, who knows very few words in English, told me about her nephew William. He was raised in a Christian environment but in college he decided to be an atheist. Recently he had an encounter with Jesucristo and now he loves God with all his heart. He’s reading the Bible every day and telling everyone He knows about Jesus. He says that faith isn’t about religion but about loving Jesus and other people.
Routine religion
Needs an audience,
But God wants you
Filled with His Presence
And doing what He
Tells you to do.
Go beyond routine
Into things unseen.
If churches would present Christ in an exciting way that allows Him to manifest and demonstrate His presence, the living Jesus would be as followed and as talked about as the Chosen series. Routine religion doesn’t rigorously resonate in human hearts, but the resurrected Jesus does! It’s time for Christians to focus on the risen Jesus Himself, not on sermons or shows about Him.
