From..A Shelter in the Storm by Paul David Tripp
I read this yesterday and have been thinking about what that really means ever since. This is not a new truth but one I need to be constantly be reminded of because it is so easy to be caught up in the day to day stuff of life and forget that it's not all about me...I'll be honest I frequently think it's all about me. I may not say that out loud but will convey that with my actions and attitudes. I need to remember...I am one of his chosen, to be used as he chooses for his plans and purposes.
"I have been chosen to live for the glory of another" My life is not about me, but a vehicle that God is using for his plans and purposes to bring glory to himself. So when things get messy or don't go as planned or seem absolutely out of control, I need to have that kingdom mentality...remembering God has a plan and a purpose for every situation.

Amen...oh how I know this and yet I live as if it is all about me..thanks so much for the gentle reminder, what a great way to start the week
Such a good reminder. I get caught up in myself too...all my issues seems so big, when really I'm just one small part of a bigger puzzle. Thank you!
Well, I feel like I just read an inspiring devotional. Great post!
Great Reminder Maryann! You are so right when you said we may not say it's all about us but often our attitude conveys that thought.
Thank you for sharing this. I needed it!

Oh how true it is...we do often think it really is all about *ME*, don't we? I know I do! What a shame to admit!! Thank you for sharing this quote from Paul David Tripp...such wisdom. :)
Blessings to you!
