Accept it. It's not about you. Not completely.
Around Granger there probably was a time when it was all about you. The cafe was about you. The shuttles were about you. The kids' launch zone slides were about you. The smoke and lights and music was about you.
But, after you've been around awhile, after you've agreed to join the mission we share - it's not about you.
it's about others. Others who aren't here yet or who are new to our church.
After being around a bit, you become a "regular", even a member. It's easy to let a sense of entitlement settle in. You can start to wonder "what's in it for me?" You can wish the music was more your style; think the cafe should carry your brand of coffee.
But joining the mission of the church isn't about entitlement or comfort. It's about shared responsibility. It's about sacrifice. It's about others.
Others who'll take our parking spot, our favorite seat, and the attention of the guest services teams.
Yep. That's right.
You in? It's not about you.
It's about Jesus and the others he died for, too.
