Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, in genuine humility:

“It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves but you…”
(1 Peter 1:12)

It’s not always about me, is it, Jesus?

When something happens that I don’t like, I’m tempted to whine –

“Why is this happening to me?”

Then my second thought is –

“Oh, yeah. I forgot there, for a moment.

I know exactly why this is happening to me.
In fact, I deserve far worse.”

As humble (and accurate) as that second response is

it might be as off-base as the first.

It just might be happening to me because it’s going to help somebody else.

Isn’t that what I signed up for?

Haven’t I told you –

“I’m Yours.
Do with me whatever You like”?

What did I think –

that You wouldn’t take me up on my offer?

Now, You’ve got me wondering:

How much of what I’m going through…

isn’t about me

at all?
