The Spotlight

                When you were little have you ever wanted to be in the spotlight? You’re on the main stage, center of attention rocking it out for a crowd of thousands. We have all wanted to be famous at one point in our lives. Some of us still hope for that. Not only do we want to be in the spotlight on the stage, but the way we run our lives is the same. We constantly shine the spotlight on ourselves and only care about us. We live our lives the way we want and no one can tell us different. Then how do we let God into our lives? He can’t be the back-up singer, or even the lead guitarist in our lives, and we can’t be the rock star. God is the only true rock star that we have in our lives.

               God is the one who many know, is always on that main stage and has fans who completely adore him and those who can’t stand him. We must be those crazed fans who can’t leave him alone. We follow him everywhere he goes always asking for an autograph. This is how to have a strong relationship with God.
               It’s all about giving him everything. Make him the center of attention in your life. The only way to truly know God is to stop living for yourself and start living for him. Take the spotlight off yourself and let him take over center stage. In a strong relationship with God you are only the back-up singer and God is the rock star! This message isn’t really deep or something to really ponder about. It’s just about giving it all to God. If you love him with everything you have and want to grow stronger in your relationship with him just hand over the spotlight. God is a rock star and the only one that can take us through life with no fear. Just give it all to him and ANYTHING will be possible.
             Let’s pray, “Jesus, this time I truly give it all to you. I am done being the one in the spotlight. I step out of the light and let you take over center stage. You are the true rock star in my life and I pray that you continue to guide me through life. For I know that you have great plans for me. I love you with everything I have. In your name I pray, Amen.”

For the week, Mark 9:23, "'If you can'?" said Jesus. "Everything is possible for him who believes."
