NEWSFLASH: You are not the CENTER of the Universe.

dscn0453Are you growing sick and tired of yourself? Not in a suicidal fashion. I’m talking about a point in your life where you begin to realize that you are not the Sun (SON) in your universe. Following Christ, in our current (Christian) culture, has become based on our own needs and I think God wants to give us a little newsflash.
Wake up people it’s not about you.
Oswald Chambers says; “The continual grubbing on the inside to see whether we are what we ought to be generates a self-centered, morbid type of Christianity, not the robust simple life of the child of God.”
I looked up the word grubbing, just so I’d understand it better. To Grub means “to toil or drudge for food.”
So in this context imagine yourself, drudging and toiling and tormenting over yourself, your needs and your desires. If you really think about it it’s gross.
I don’t want to be that guy anymore or ever again.
Oswald goes on to say; “How long is it going to take God to free us from the morbid habit of thinking about ourselves? We must get sick unto death of ourselves, until there is no longer any surprise at anything God can tell us about ourselves.”
I’m getting there.
