My best

I heard a quote this evening that got me good and it was from Jeff Foxworthy...i love it.  He said the secret of his life has been this, "I'm at my best when I am not the most important person."  He was talking about his relationship with Jesus and serving in a ministry in Downtown Atlanta.  Friends, that is the absolute truth.  We are at our best when it isn't about us.  I couldn't help but think of the sinful woman washing the feet of Jesus in Luke 7.  She didn't belong there...she had no right to be touching Jesus at all, especially her hair...it was wrong on so many levels except at that moment, she was making Jesus the most important person in her life and she got it right.  In fact, she couldn't have done any better than what she did in that moment, and sadly we need a lesson in that department, i know I do.  How many times have I held back because I was the most important person at that moment.  How many times have I missed out on giving Jesus my heart is worship because in that moment I was the most important person.  Uggh.  She made Jesus important and He was completely honored by her...it was a beautiful worshipful moment.  Friends, we are at our best when we are not the most important person in our lives.  And more profoundly, our lives our at its best when Jesus is the most important person in our lives.  It is called worship.
