It’s not about me. It’s about what He can do with my life.

At A Holy Experience today there is a guest post by Sara Frankl, lovingly woven together by Mary Carver.

The plain and simple truth, if we take big lessons in life and strip them down to the bare essentials, is that we are tiny blips on a very big screen.

Only God has the capacity to see all of it.

He saw all that came before us and sees all that will come after us, and only He can know the role that each of us can play that will best serve Him and each other.

...But it’s not about me. It’s about what He can do with my life.

...Nothing about my life is about me; it’s about who He needs me to be. And how can I complain about that?

Oh, complaining can come so easily for all of us: your small house, your flat tire, the promotion that should have been yours and the grass that grows so fast you don’t have the time to mow it…

But what if the small house is so you are next to a neighbor who needs your help when her husband dies?

Or your tire went flat when you were driving so it didn’t happen when your teenage son was driving and he wouldn’t have known what to do?

Maybe the promotion would have been a dead end for you and next year a better opportunity will be waiting.

And that lawn? Maybe it’s the only exercise you do each week and is saving you from a heart attack.

The point is that you don’t know. I don’t know.

But it’s not about me.

It’s about how He can use my life.
