There is a message about God and me God is wanting me to learn as of late. This message centers around my love for God. God wants us to worship Him, adore Him, love Him. This much I’ve always understood. As I’ve thought about it however, I’ve done so through the lens of me and how I process love given to me. There is a much different picture of God wanting me to worship Him that today’s devotional time awakened me to. 

Everything about us–mankind–is self-centered. I hate knowing this and admitting this because I always used my dad or my brother’s behaviors as the epitome of selfishness. I’ve never wanted to be like them and God has taught me I’m not like them, I’m like myself–self-centered. God is showing me that my main reason to worship Him each and everyday is to get my eyes off of me and onto God Himself. Yes, I’m sure God appreciates this, but what He appreciates more than anything is me getting my eyes off of myself and onto Him. I do this when I worship Him. 

I’ll never fully grasp this immense love of God while I’m here on earth in my flesh. But, I want to live in worship to this God of mine–ours. He is so worthy of our praise and adoration! How grateful I am!
