I always saw myself as a compassionate person, but a look at my inner thoughts and fears would tell you otherwise. I worry about how others will perceive me. I worry about how I will reach my goals. I even worry about how I can do something HUGE for GOD. The only problem with all of these worries is that they are all focused on ME! Notice how each sentence starts with I.
Through a series of circumstances, GOD has begun to reveal my selfishness, so today I'm asking GOD to help me let go of myself... to let go of my fears and ambitions and to become a women that waits on Him. Today, I'm posting the words of John 3:30 on the window of my heart: He must increase, and I must decrease.
God promises that as we put him first in our lives then He will provide all that we need in every area of our lives. I'd love to hear from you! What are some ways that we can focus more on GOD and less on ourselves?
