Today over on Google+ social phenomenon Daria Musk started a hashtag trend– #YouMoveMe. The idea is to post a picture or video that represents something that moves you. Call me predictable, but there was only one thing that came to my mind when I decided to participate– Jesus.
The hashtag almost immediately started to climb the ‘Trending’ charts. It was nipping at American Idol’s heels for a while before jumping past it into the #4 spot. The number one trend today (as with most Sunday’s) is the hashtag #SacredSunday. As I see it, today was the perfect day for this #YouMoveMe trend to start. So I went to work right away creating the graphic you see above.
Why Jesus Moves Me
He moves me to be compassionate towards others, because he had compassion for me. He moves me to give grace to others, because he had grace on me. He moves me to empower others, because he empowered me. He moves me to give to others because he continues to give to me. He moves me to love others, because he first loved me.
Jesus, you move me.
Loving me when I can’t love myself. Forgiving me when I can’t forgive myself. Believing in me when I can’t believe in myself. Rooting for me when nobody else will. Comforting me when nobody else can. Giving me purpose, hope, and worth beyond words. Paying the ultimate price, so I could gain the ultimate prize.
Although I don’t always move in the right direction, you’re always there to put me back on the path. Even when I sometimes move against you, you’re always there waiting when I turn back around. No judgement in your eyes, just endless amazing grace.
Does Jesus Move You?

I think it is great to share this – thanks ! So many times we get caught up in what we want from God or don’t feel we got something we deserved. I love the #YouMoveMe to get us going on how he moves in our lives all the time and “share” it !!
Thanks Margie! So how does God move you?
Love it Dustn! I’m tweeting this baby …
Thanks Rob! You rock! Figuratively and literally! Haha!
I love your backgrounds, man! I wish I had photoshop to be able to create some stuff like that.
I will try to use the hashtag on twitter! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Brandon! You should check out GIMP. It’s a lot like photoshop an I’m sure you could find tutorials. Pixel mayor is a great alternative too– not free, but way cheaper than Photoshop.
Just set it as my background!
#Awesome! Screenshot?
Nice. Mind if I turn it into a t-shirt? I’ll provide a link.
How would you go about turning it into a t-shirt? Will you be selling them?
Great question. I was thinking about putting it on a print on demand site like Zazzle. I’ve got a couple at http://www.zazzle.com/sempei13 that are fun like “Keep Calm and Tweet On.” The pic just reminds me of my favorite shirt from my church’s annual festival called Questapalooza and I thought that it would look cool as a shirt. If you want to do it, that’s up to you. It just struck me as a good idea.
You’re welcome to use it if you like! I was just curious because I work for a custom t-shirt printing company where I design shirts all day long. I’m not familiar with how zazzle works, but if you need anything else to help you make it work, just let me know.
This is beautiful! Setting it as my background on all my devices!

I like this graphic! I like the idea behind it even better. I should start watching those trending twitter hashtags more often too. I like how it inspired you.
Sweet.
Hey Dustin, found you commenting over at Tentblogger so I thought I’d stop by. Like how you designed your Standard theme
Thanks for the compliments Bethany!
