For me, it starts with an inspiration and finishes with a signature.
Jesus finished His work on earth on a wooden cross. Publicly blamed for things he was not guilty of. Completely aware of the end from the beginning, yet the steps in between were not clear. Would he find people selling in the temple instead of praying? Would tears come to his eyes? Would someone show faith he was not expecting?
He wasn't sent for Himself. He didn't die for himself. He didn't promise Abraham something but actually mean to promise something for Himself. No shadow of turning, no untruth, and no sin. Notice how He called some people names, he turned tables over, and didn't follow directions from other people. Today, we are accused all day long for such things.
Once we believe, we have been justified. We testify of what we know and we all can then begin a new life in Christ. The walk of sanctification begins, sometimes brisk, sometimes with little steps where we may be stubborn, a little forward, maybe a little backward sometimes, but still justified and saved, nevertheless. It is God's love for us, that is why He came and died on a cross for us. So it's true, it not about us.. but we do have an important role to God as the objects of His love. Please remember that you are loved. Loved greater than anything you have known, felt, seen, or heard of.
Now, may you each have that Joy, Peace, and Confidence through the grace and freedom in Christ's work of salvation. You are loved and it is about you to God.
