Are you the pencil or the poem?

I love Keith Green and the heart he had for God. If you've never listened to anything he's done, do yourself a favor, and check out his Greatest Hits album. You will not be disappointed. This quote from Keith really struck me today:

”I only want to build God’s Kingdom and see it increase, not my own. If someone writes a great poem, no one praises the pencil they used, they praise the one who created the poem. Well, I’m just a pencil in the hands of the Lord. Don’t praise me, praise Him!”

Are you the pencil, or are you the poem?
