Not Good Enough?

"Jesus calls the not good enoughs" (Rob Bell- Velvet Elvis). So this is all about Jesus (a Jewish Rabbi) calling His disciples (Talmidim). The reason that His first followers weren't rabbi's is because the weren't good enough for job. But Jesus thought that they were good enough and He asked them to come and follow Him. How many times are we told that we aren't good enough, well it doesn't matter what the rest of the world thinks because  Jesus thinks we are good enough.

I promise that this really does have a point. I've noticed lately that when I'm praying instead of praying I'm silently singing some song that I either heard on the radio, that I heard on my iPod, or that I grew up singing in church. This has caused me to pay more attention to the lyrics in the songs I am listening to and I've been trying to tie them into my faith or some sort of something to do with Jesus. I've heard Chris Tomlin's "I Will Follow You" a few times on the radio now and this morning I finally paid attention to the lyrics.

Where you go, I’ll go
Where you stay, I’ll stay
When you move, I’ll move
I will follow

All your ways are good
All your ways are sure
I will trust in you alone

Higher than my side
High above my life
I will trust in you alone

Where you go, I’ll go
Where you stay, I’ll stay
When you move, I’ll move
I will follow you

Who you love, I’ll love
How you serve, I’ll serve
If this life I lose, I will follow you
I will follow you

Light unto the world
Light unto my life
I will live for you alone

You’re the one I seek
Knowing I will find
All I need in you alone
In you alone

Where you go, I’ll go
Where you stay, I’ll stay
When you move, I’ll move
I will follow you

Who you love, I’ll love
How you serve, I’ll serve
If this life I lose, I will follow you
I will follow you

In you, there’s life everlasting
In you, there’s freedom for my soul
In you, there’s joy, unending joy
And I will follow

Where you go, I’ll go
Where you stay, I’ll stay
When you move, I’ll move
I will follow you

Who you love, I’ll love
How you serve, I’ll serve
If this life I lose, I will follow

Where you go, I’ll go
Where you stay, I’ll stay
When you move, I’ll move
I will follow you

Who you love, I’ll love
How you serve, I’ll serve
If this life I lose, I will follow you
I will follow you
I will follow you
I will follow you

So at first I thought about how I could apply the song to my life as a follower of Christ, my thought process was as follows



1. The Great Commission...the whole "go ye therefore thing"

2. Then who the disciples were (fisherman and not so popular ppl for the most part)

3. Rob Bell and Velvet Elvis (see begining of this blog)

4. OMG!!! this song is about Talmidim (I mean it probably is more about

us "modern Christians" following Jesus then it is about Talmidim)

5. oh wait Jesus did technically  call all of the world to follow Him..."I am the way...."

6. which therefore makes me a Talmidim

7. so this song is about me following Jesus

I would like to point out that this thought process took about an hour which would have made me late for almost everything this morning so I just didn't really do anything to my hair and makeup was minimal. But I'm following Jesus and that is really the important part.

go in PEACE. be PEACE. live in PEACE.
