I have a great respect and admiration for those people around me who have mostly gotten over themselves. In other words they understand that, life, it’s not about them and it never will be. The only thing they take seriously about themselves is the understanding of their propensity to take themselves too seriously. This is one of the great points of departure from our counterfeit identity to our God given identity. In addition, these true disciples recognize and embrace that the notion of having any kind of real control over one’s life and ultimate fate is nothing more than an illusion. The reality is that God set everything we know and experience in motion and God will bring it all to a close in His way and in His time. May we all submit our hearts more deeply today, in all humility and lowliness, to the heart of the Father. May we allow His gentle yet powerful hands to lovingly shape us and mold us into the amazing vision he had for us long before we ever became foreigners of this planet.
