Are we "me-focused."

Ephesians 3: 10 AMP "So now through the church, the multifaceted wisdom of God [in all its countless aspects] might now be made known [revealing the mystery] to the [angelic] rulers and authorities in the heavenly places."

I know you may relate to this, but I am very selfish, and to be honest, it is all about me, my accomplishments, my plans.  Even when I bring God into my picture, it's about what God has in store for me. Right now, I have become too "me-focused."

I believe God demonstrates His love and mercy to me through His son Jesus Christ. I think it is to glorify God and only through Jesus Christ. I hate to say this, but when I think about the cross I believe it was for my sake, I know it's very selfish, but that's how I feel at times. Jesus died for my sins, and He also had been raised for me. So that I can inherit the new life, become a child of God. A nobody. Lord, I believe You are merciful, You are kind, You are forgiving and gentle. The just and the justifier.

In all Lord, it is all about YOU.

Prayer

Father God, I am reminded of Irenaeus, who wrote: "The glory of God is a living man, and the life of man consists in behold God." Today, in humility, I am asking You to help me as I go through today. I forgive that person who offended me to such an extent it pains my heart. I set him free in the name of Jesus Christ because of You in my heart. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
