I'm reminded it's not about me

This morning I looked at a reflection: http://www.myutmost.org/06/0620.html
The scripture and the reflection brought to my mind that it's not all about me. Sort of takes the wind out of my sails to acknowledge that. My ego does like to be pumped up on the idea that I am the total focus and attention of my heavenly Father but today I see differently. Today I am reminded and well that I was that it isn't all about me. Job went through much trail and loss and as Oswald Chambers illustrates things turned when Job began praying for his friends. That would be very hard for me because I tend to focus on the problem and stay wanting to find a solution. I do become exhausted at times and when that happens I put down my fists (spiritually speaking) and I tell the Lord I am done, I give up and I don't really care what happens from there on.

Today I will try to keep my focus more on what I believe is important in God's eyes. To think more about others around me versus only me. To remember that if I'm in hard times then so are so many others. That I am blessed that my God wants a relationship with me and that I enjoy that relationship because Jesus made a way, he became the atonement for my sin. I will do my best today to remember to pray for others that they too would accept the atonement Jesus paid so that all of us will have a relationship with God our Father.

Happy Father's Day God, Happy Father's Day Jesus, Happy Father's Day Holy Spirit, amen.
