the pungent air of self – v7

Not about God’s glory

about our own feelings

focused on the self

not the bigger picture

In our language, our witness

speaking of how God has saved us

how Christ died for Me

how He lifted Me from my sin

all of this offal, when it stops here,

the pungent air of self

if our witness is not balanced

to the glory of our God

focusing on His love, His grace

not for us only, but for the whole world,

all of God’s children, all who have ever lived

all who will come after, all saved by grace

by the sacrifice of Jesus
