The Race isn’t supposed to be about me.
I came to serve. I came to spread the Kingdom. I came to see people all over the world experience the love of Jesus. Yes, I’m here, but it isn’t about me. I gave up my life for a year; my family, friends, job, home, my coffee, my bed, my comforts…
But I’m starting to learn that the Race that I wanted can’t happen unless some things change…. unless I change. I may have left my life behind but I couldn’t leave myself behind; all of the good things and all of the bad things are still part of me. I still get irritated about the same things and still carry around the same fears and worries that I did at home. Coming on the race didn’t change me. And, honestly,that is frustrating. I guess I thought that just saying yes to the race would make me more holy. I was wrong.
Saying yes to a journey doesn’t change you, its what you do on that journey that changes you.
The race isn’t supposed to be about me, but God is using this Race to make me more like Him. He is using this journey to heal me, to set me free, to romance me. It isn’t about me, but I won’t be the same when I get home. I won’t love Jesus the same way I did. I won’t view life or people the same as before.
The race isn’t supposed to be about me. The race is about the Kingdom. But God is showing me that I am a part of that Kingdom, and I am going to be changed even as I set out to make a change. Jesus is going to change people this year. He is going to use us, use me, to spread his love across the globe. But he is also going to change me and shower His love on me.
