Worry over not giving Him enough airtime
Write-time, credit-time
And He reminds me that most things already have His look.
He doesn’t need my positive press:
He is already present
In all His glorious, perfect sufficiency.
With or without my attention.
With or without my drawing attention.
He reminds me
That I don’t need to worry about forgiven failings.
That noticing all this
And remembering the Him all round and herein
Is worship.
And true worship is naturally contagious.
Real, live, savoring gratitude and
Overflowing goodness
From a heart that knows Him, loves Him,
Believes Him, gives Him notice even a little
Is transformative
Because He’s transformed it.
He’s in it
And no tiny conjuring on my part enlarges or diminishes Him.
The Gospel – the Good News –
Can’t be manufactured,
Forced, faked.
Real, true, good news
Really, truly transforms everything.
He doesn’t need my help.
But between you and me,
I’m so glad He wants it…
