Re-Learning

I don't know about you, but I have to re-learn things over and over. Being an imperfect person, I forget rather quickly. Thankfully, God is patient and often re-teaches the same principles in new ways. 

Several days ago I was convicted that I was focusing too much on my needs instead of on others. Not only did God help me to direct my prayers and thoughts to those around me, but he also reaffirmed that his ways are better than anything I could ever come up with.  

When the shift happened, energy, joy, and peace increased.  It makes sense to submit to God's way of doing things. It's so much better than our feeble notions. And, when we submit ourselves to God's ways, he's able to use us to accomplish his purposes.  Pretty cool.
