One of the most important lessons I think I have learned on this journey is simply this:
"It is not about me."
That being said, I am human and unfortunately, it is a phrase that is often forgotten in the midst of this thing we call life. Among all the outings, appointments, church services, work, sleep and everything in between...it is lost.
I find myself often sitting back as if I am viewing someone else's life and wondering if "I" am doing enough. Am "I" doing things right? Will "I" make the right decision? The answer to all of them is no if all of them are focused on "I".
John 3:16 - “For God so loved the world. . . .”
We must continually keep our soul open to the fact of God’s creative purpose, and never confuse or cloud it with our own intentions. If we do, God will have to force our intentions aside no matter how much it may hurt. A missionary is created for the purpose of being God’s servant, one in whom God is glorified. Once we realize that it is through the salvation of Jesus Christ that we are made perfectly fit for the purpose of God, we will understand why Jesus Christ is so strict and relentless in His demands. He demands absolute righteousness from His servants, because He has put into them the very nature of God.Beware lest you forget God’s purpose for your life.
“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” Galatians 6:9
Thank you Tory, sorry God.
