Glory to whom?

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: I love music. I love listening to lyrics, instrumentation, and melodies. A good song will almost always brighten my mood. So I thought, why not write some songs of my own? Wouldn't that be awesome? And it would! However, I don't know if it is for me yet. I've been thinking about writing songs a lot, and while I would love to do it, there is one major question: Who is my music glorifying?


Right now, if I was writing songs, I would be concerned about myself. Not God. It's a heart issue. I want to be important. A lot of times, I feel lonely. Unimportant to anyone or anything. I want to matter. I want to make a difference. But what is that difference? Is it a difference in my personal life, or is it a difference for the Kingdom? If I decide to write music, I want to make sure it is for the right reason.


Correcting this heart issue? I can't do it on my own. But I know God can, if it is in His will. If he wants me to write music, it will happen. So I'm not going to worry about it. I'm just going to pray that he would help me discover His plan for me.


Right now, I don't think I am in a good position for songwriting. While I would LOVE to write music, it wouldn't be about Him, it would be about me. And that's why I'm not going to start writing any songs, not yet. But maybe, someday, it will happen. But whether it happens or not, I know God has a plan for me, and I intend to do whatever I can to follow that plan.
