It is hard to imagine that I am meant for a purpose greater than even I can imagine. I don’t know about you, but I spent so much of my life thinking less of myself because I though that is what it meant to be a follower of God.  After a while that way of thinking begins to seep in.  I see now that I was still thinking about me.  That is seriously the most ironic thing in the world.  By doing what I thought it meant to be a follower, I was focusing on me.  I am grateful that my eyes have been opened to acknowledge the power of God in the world and in me.  by claiming that I was the worst thing in the world–whether by dodging compliments or beating up on myself for not being “good enough”, I was claiming a role that I had not been given.  I lacked humility.  I did not see myself as one among many, I still saw myself as separate.  My ego thrives on being separate (Edging God Out).  Today I recognize that true humility and healing for myself and others comes when I acknowledge that I don’t have it all together and I need God.  We all need God so I can be healing for myself and others when I go through this world day by day and reach for God.  When I do it, you see that you can do it.  When you do it, I see that I can do it even in a situation that I think God wants none of. (There I go, making up God’s mind for God again 😉  My prayer for you today is that you be open to seeing things as God sees thing and bring an experience of healing which in turn brings healing to all those around you.  Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
