You know what its about?? It's not about us. It's not about me. And its not about you. It's about giving up. Giving up a 'control' that isn't really ours. Giving up fears. Giving up relationships (that, though we may be entrusted to, are not really ours). Giving up our finances. Giving it ALL up. Letting go. Taking a deep breath. And GIVING it to God. HE is what its about............In an attempt to send someone some encouragement, I in return was encouraged. I was overwhelmed with this statement. IT'S NOT ABOUT US!!! We run through life holding on to all these "things" and life just passes us by!! Just flies on past us! Why is it SO darn difficult to LET GO and LET GOD! I can say it all day and know it in my heart, but tomorrow, I know full and well I will face this again. This is when the 'dying to self' DAILY comes into play. You don't just do it/learn it once and then automatically you're this awesome person who never gets down, who always does right and who never falls short. Nooooooo. Did you catch that last part of dying to self...DAILY. Its a growth process and it won't be complete until He returns (Philippians1:6). That is so comforting. Thank you Father for teaching me. And even, reteaching me. Daily.
