Day 24: Not About Me

Writer's picture: JoniJoni

Just ASK HIM

and HE will ANSWER.

I asked GOD this morning,

"WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME",

and it was as if HE was waiting for me

to ask HIM,

as HIS ANSWER IMMEDIATELY came.

BUT I questioned if it was really from HIM.

BUT it had to be from GOD,

as the following verse came flowing from my heart,

"And what does the LORD require of you Except to BE JUST,

and to LOVE [and to diligently practice]

KINDNESS (compassion), And to WALK HUMBLY with your

GOD

[setting aside any overblown

sense of importance or self-righteousness]?"

(Micah 6:8)

Yikes!

HUMILITY~

BROKEN PRIDE

Oh to BE JUST.

Because GOD IS JUST

Oh to LOVE.

Because GOD IS LOVE.

Oh to be KIND.

Because GOD IS KIND.

Oh to

WALK HUMBLY

requires the

TOTAL SURRENDER

of myself

to the ONE

who I SURRENDERED my life to.

SURRENDER

is the sweet spot

when you begin to LIVE the LIFE GOD desires for you,

But oh how I fight it at times when

my feathers get ruffled

and

I want JUSTICE,

I want to be LOVED,

I want to treated with KINDNESS.

BUT GOD ANSWERED ME~

IT IS NOT ABOUT ME!

Oh to remove myself from

the equation

is

the sweet spot of

SURRENDER,

for where GOD does HIS best work

that is

letting GOD do what HE does best.

GOD IS JUST.

GOD IS LOVE.

GOD IS KIND.

How is it possible to move aside

and let GOD be GOD.

Hmm.

By FOLLOWING HIS SON

who

walked a life of HUMILITY

by making HIMSELF nothing to make us something.

GOD ANSWERED me again

by having HIS SON

tell me to

WALK HUMBLY~

"Which commandment is the most important of all?”

JESUS answered,

“The most important is, ‘Hear, O Israel: The LORD our GOD,

the LORD is one.

And you shall love the LORD your God

with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’

The second is this:

‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’

There is no other commandment greater than these”

(Mark 12:28-30)

There it is.

To LIVE out GOD'S ANSWER to me

because

GOD IS ALWAYS THE ANSWER

because

HE made JESUS THE ANSWER.

Oh how could I ask for anything more

then to

FOLLOW THE ONE who

KNOWS me

and

KNOWS you

better than you and I know ourselves.

THANK YOU GOD

for ANSWERING my question,

with WORDS I did not expect,

but with WORDS that brought me

closer and closer to you~

IT IS NOT ABOUT ME, BECAUSE IT IS ALL ABOUT JESUS!

Thank YOU GOD

for the great reminder that

I am just a

NOBODY,

but your

"NOBODY"

(listen to the song below)
