It's Not About Me

It really would be nice if I could remember that. There would be no posts like the previous one in which I confess discontent and distorted views of God.

Comfortingly, we can see most of the Bible characters learn this same lesson. Great men of the faith have also been here, done this. However taking comfort from being in good company isn't really where I was going with this.

I just want to assure the blogworld out there that I do know that life's not about me. God's not here to make me happy, but He does intend to glorify Himself through me. If that means through my blessings or through my struggles, to God be the Glory. John Piper says (adapting from his reading of C.S. Lewis) that "God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him." Not in the stuff He gives us, but IN HIM. I pray for all of us, you, me and my friends who neither blog nor lurk, that we will discover what that means to be satisfied in God and thus to glorify Him with our lives.
