Lent 43 – Looking
Back to the labyrinth. This note was left under a rock on the pile at the center a few days ago. I don’t know who wrote it but I wonder what it is that they are looking for. Are they looking for assurance? For hope?
Lent 43 – Looking
Maybe you could leave a note of assurance in the same place for that person in hopes that he/she returns!
We all wonder at some point if we are worthy and if we could possibly make a difference. My daughter Sara and I recently discovered this song…and feel it sums us up – and others undoubtedly feel the same – we are “nobodies” who can live for the world to see Jesus in us:
“Nobody” by Casting Crowns
Why You ever chose me
Has always been a mystery
All my life, I’ve been told I belong
At the end of a line
With all the other Not-Quites
With all the Never-Get-It-Rights
But it turns out they are the ones You were looking for all this time
‘Cause I’m just a nobody trying to tell everybody
All about Somebody who saved my soul
Ever since You rescued me, You gave my heart a song to sing
I’m living for the world to see nobody but Jesus
Moses had stage fright
And David brought a rock to a sword fight
You picked twelve outsiders nobody would’ve chosen and You changed the world
Well, the moral of the story is everybody’s got a purpose
So when I hear that devil start talking to me, saying
“Who do you think you are?” I say
I’m just a nobody trying to tell everybody
All about Somebody who saved my soul
Ever since You rescued me, You gave my heart a song to sing
I’m living for the world to see nobody but Jesus
So let me go down, down, down in history
As another blood-bought faithful member of the family
And if they all forget my name, well, that’s fine with me
I’m living for the world to see nobody but Jesus
That is such a brilliant idea. I’ll do that today!
