What o we really need as Christians. Do we need to do God's work and be an example of what a good christian should be. Do we need to be counted in the most Holy of them all? Do we need to be the best worship leader, pastor,minister of our church? Do we need to operate in the spiritual gifting that is placed on our lives. Do we need to hear the best preacher preach and the best song evangelist minister? Is that what we need to enjoy christianity? Is that all we need to sustain us as Christians. Is our christinity down to the who we minister to and if we were ministered to?
I have reach the point in my life where none of those things really mean anything to me if God doesnt say he loves me and I belong to him. All the ministry, the music, the opportunities, the life I live doesn't mean a thing if I dont know thhat God loves me. Its preety basic you may thing, really very simple. Of course God loves us, he created us and we do his work, we do all these things in his name. Why would he not love us. We speak these things all the time. But have we ever really taken a moment to bask in his love. To really feel the kind of love that he has for us and wants us to show others. I have recently and it was a life altering experience that will now and forever change my outlook on many things. The words of Fred Hammond's song simply put is a perfect example of what i'm talking about. Here are the lyrics:-
don't really need to tell someone their future
I don't really have to see the things that can't be seen
I don't need another hyped up church encounter
Or another clever New Year's theme
I'm not looking for another goosebump sermon
Or a word that leaves me passed out on the floor
My basic needs are really very simple
To know You love me, You like me
And I am Yours,I am Yours
My learning could go on throughout the ages
But I just need the plain and simple of what's real
I could memorize and quote a million pages
But I'd rather just express the way I feel
I tried so hard to know the deepest revelation
So I can still and tell the nation what it means
But I found the greatest gift
Wrapped in Your salvation
It's really much more simple, than it means
So I relinquish all my witty observations
Leave my so-called sacred knowledge at the door
When You died You answered every single question
You said You loved me, You liked me
And I am Yours, I am Yours
I pray this song ministers to you as it did me. What really is important? What is important to you? Is it really what matters?
