I borrowed this post from the blog of Del Tackett, creator of The Truth Project. These words cut me to the quick, so I just had to repost, for the sake of my memory if nothing else! May you also be inspired and encouraged. (By the way, if you are not familiar with Dr. Tackett's work, I highly recommend that you research and read more. Here is the
blog.)
With all that is going on around us, beware of getting caught up in
your own little story. If you find yourself angry, frustrated,
discouraged, disillusioned, disappointed, depressed, bitter,
complaining, griping, whining (what have I left out?), it is most likely
because you have written your own script and the people around you
don’t seem to be following the parts you wrote for them. Read Isaiah 46:9-11 and Philippians 2:13-15—several times.
Be quick to toss your script.
It isn’t about us.
It’s all about Him and what He wants to do through you.
