It’s Not All About Me …

Welcome to this new week of Freedom Fighter blogs. I want to thank you for joining me and the guys who are faithfully writing each that encourage you and me to walk in victory.

Last week I was having one of those rough days and I was finding myself getting frustrated with everything. One morning last week, the Lord reminded me that it is not all about me …

It isn’t all about me:

My flesh wants:

To be right
To be respected
To be understood
To be appreciated

BUT …

I don’t need to be right
I don’t need to be respected
I don’t need to be understood
I don’t need to be appreciated

Jesus wants me

To serve HIM whether or not I am right or wrong
To serve HIM whether or not I am respected
To serve HIM whether or not I am understood
To serve HIM whether or not I am appreciated

If I can fully grasp this – then I can really say, “But none of these things move me nor do I count my life dear to myself – so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus to testify to the gospel of the grace of God. Acts 20:24 – Dr. Bill Welte is President/CEO of America’s Keswick

Think About This: The long dull monotonous years of middle-aged prosperity or middle-aged adversity are excellent campaigning weather for the Devil. C. S. Lewis
