Not About Me
I am slowly but surely realizing that this time is not about me - my life is not about me. I had a good talk with an old friend from England tonight… she reminded me of a verse in John.
“He must become greater; I must become less.” - John 3:30
That has been the farthest thing from my mind these last few days and weeks. I have constantly been focusing on my own worries, struggles, victories, hardships, and successes. I have failed to venture into the mindset that I should daily have - the mindset of glorifying God, whatever the cost may be to my own self. He must increase, I must decrease. These last few days and hours have been so intensely focused on my own thoughts and desires. I have failed to even consider the family that is surrounding me, much less my Maker.
I would encourage you to have a mindset of glorifying and giving your all to Christ, despite the cost it may be to you or your temporary life right now. After all, what is the 70 (plus or minus) years that we live on earth in light of all eternity? It’s a sobering thought, but it is also truth… what better way to spend those years than in service to the Father.
