It's Not About Me

and it is not about you either. The title of my blog is the title of a book that I am currently reading right now by Max Lucado. It has been eye opening and quite encouraging. Max encourages Christians to always keep our eyes on God and NEVER on ourselves, becasue only He can meet all of our needs. My decision to check out this book from the library was never intentional. I was looking for another inspirational book and came across this one instead. God placed that in my path and I was obedient and picked it up. The book has been a true blessing and I look forward to reading it every night when I arrive home from work.

One of the most touching parts of the book was when Max tells a story of when an uncle died and he attended this funeral with father. He talks about looking around and seeing normally happy aunts and uncles weeping in sorrow. He was so afraid of all that was going on and all that he saw. Max's father noticed his uneasiness and looked down to him to say, "baby, everything is going to be okay". This immediately warmed Max's heart and spirit, because if his father said it, it was so. Just to look at his father's face confirmed that everything was okay.

We as Christians need to constantly seek the face of our heavenly father, because He is ALWAYS available to offer comfort. The problem is that even when we seek His face, we have little confidence that through Him everything will be okay. Lord, please increase my faith constantly so that everytime I seek you, I can rest in the fact that EVERYTHING will ALWAYS work out as it should.
