It's not easy to remain unknown,

 to glorify His name and not your own,

 to not seek fortune, to not seek fame,

 to seek only to bring the Lord gain;

 but there's no other way that we can receive 

       The blessing of obscurity 

So, so many of The Lord's best, it's true,

 remain unknown to me and you,

for pride can so easily enter in,

when we become exalted by men.

When we become known,

sought after, given room,

it can often lead us to our doom.

If God promotes us and not we ourselves, 

then He will protect us from the path to Hell.

He will know we can handle it then,

for our hearts are more precious to Him

than any ministry we're called to walk in.

AND I'LL TELL YOU THIS  -

very, very few can handle being famous.

Most bow and succumb to the temptation inside 

of allowing their hearts to become full of pride,

full of self, seeking vain glory,

unable to remain humble before Me,

says the Lord of your heart's 

most private story.....
