God has really been stretching me lately and putting me into uncomfortable situations to learn how to serve
Him. I've always said I want to serve God, but I find that when things dont go my way, I get so
frustrated, angry at people like my mom for walking in on me when I'm praying. I found that I
have a selfish mindset of serving, my needs over God's. God is really stretching me. Will I serve
when convenient, or serve unconditionally? Will I love Him when things go well, and curse his
face when I am struggling? Or will I go to him only with my problems, pray for others, do acts for
him without even knowing his heart? God's been showing me it's not about me, but about Him. To God be
all the glory! Jesus, mold my heart so that I may be able to serve you and be used by you.
Tonight I planned to have a great time alone in my room with God and pray. Instead, I spent a good time
vaccuuming ants that came out of nowhere. But that's okay. As long as His will is done right?
Lord, when things don't go my way, help me to remember it's all about your glory. Not my
comfort, not my preferences. Enable me to be used by you. Start with my heart, examine it.
Because right now I am in no situation to have God-sized dreams. I have loved my own life,
help me to lose it so that I may have life in Christ, life with passion and purpose for You.
Oh yeah.... today at GRX Jaeson Ma spoke about God-sized dreams. Once again, God blew many
and myself away through Jaeson's message. I'm so fired up to have God-sized dreams, but
need to first realize that I need to pursue his face. He is my goal, "success" and dreams
are not my goal. Seeking his presence instead of seeking his blessings.
Jesus, just be glorified in everything I do :)
