WHAT ABOUT ME?
WHAT ABOUT ME?
Do you ever
Feel like
GOD LOVES other people
Or even someone else
MORE than he loves you
I THINK it is a
COMMON FEELING
WHEN things
Are going right in someone else' life
Or sometimes
SEEMINGLY every one else' life
But our own
When we
Have serious health difficulties
When we
Have serious financial issues
Or even
When relationship
Or family problems ARISE
Though we know
We shouldn't do it
We look to
The guy or gal BESIDE US
Who are seemingly going
Great guns
And we wonder
Why me-or
WHAT ABOUT ME?
We could LEARN
A great lesson
From the 21st chapter of Saint John's GOSPEL
“Jesus said to Peter (regarding the disciple that
Jesus loved)
'WHAT if I want him
To REMAIN until I come
What concern of it is yours?
YOU MUST FOLLOW ME” John 21:22
Jesus was telling Peter
As HE IS telling us today
That his relationship
With other people
HIS RELATIONSHIP with other apostles and disciples
ISN'T any of our business
We are
To be concerned
ONLY with our own relationship
With God and Jesus
UNLESS
We are called upon
To ENCOURAGE ANOTHER
Or HELP someone else
ALL we need to do
Is focus
Or listen
For his call
And FOLLOW
WHERE he leads us
STILL you ask
WHERE is the JUSTICE
In that-or
WHAT ABOUT ME?
God will not forget
Jesus will not forget
JUSTICE for the righteous
“For the Lord
Is RIGHTEOUS
He loves justice
The upright
Will see his FACE” Psalm 11:7
“MANY seek an audience
With a ruler
But it is FROM the Lord
That one gets JUSTICE” Proverbs 29:26
So please-don't ever say
“WHAT ABOUT JUSTICE?”
You will receive your justice
From God
In the end-God WILL
JUSTIFY YOU
“WHO will bring
Any charge
Against those
Whom God has CHOSEN
It is GOD
WHO JUSTIFIES” Romans 8:33
Dear Lord-WE PRAY
HELP US
To FOLLOW YOU
In love and faith
And NEVER SAY
“WHAT ABOUT ME?”
We are
JUSTIFIED BY YOUR GRACE
