It's Not About You!

Today know that it's not about you. Often times when we pray, we pray about and ask for what we want or need, what someone is doing/done or said to us, how we don't like something and asking God to fix it. But have you ever just sat and really thought about all the times your life has been spared, your circumstances have been changed? Today, there are many Americans that are without a home or a loved one due to natural disaster. There are people that have recently been affected by tornados, the thousands of people whom have died within the last couple of weeks, storms raging in areas not expected, Tsunami's taking hundreds of thousands of lives in Japan, earthquakes and errupting volcano's, while we (those not affected) stop to say a two second prayer for the victims and then go right into what we need and want. It's not always about you and how God can help you, but what it is about is being thankful for His grace, mercy, favor, the shield of protection you have over your life, intercessors you have praying for you everyday, the longsuffering of Jesus Christ, and the unconditional love that God has chosen to give you. Take that same love and give it to someone else today and stop letting it be all about you.
