harmony


jesus, wherever you need me... singing harmony...
= bethany dillon

lately i have been really looking at Jesus.

books, conversations, concerts, situations... they have all led me to the most unique, amazing person whoever lived.  and the thought that has been rolling around in my head, that i have been trying to get my arms around is that Jesus wants to be with us.  

there are so many ways to take the idea that Jesus wants to be with us and apply to every... every... every... really everything.  life.  this week i have realized that Jesus wants us to be together in ministry.  wherever we go, whatever we do, no matter where our pay check comes from, Jesus calls us to take the good news to those around us.  to love them, share life with them, and tell them about Jesus.  but thankfully he does not send us out alone.  you see the song we sing to those around us is not a solo... i don't even think we are in the lead.  we have the unique opportunity to sing harmony with the God of the universe.  and sing to the whole world.  our voice, which so often the way we live our life, should not overshadow the voice of Jesus, but be an echo, a reflection of the truth and beauty.

Jesus, wherever you need me... may i sing harmony... may i sing of your love... the way you lived and the reason you died.
