It is no secret that I always want to accomplish more: more goals, more writing, more music, more fitness, more projects, more cooking, more studies, more time with family and friends...more living life fully...more fulfillment of responsibilities, etc..
I suppose that's why it is difficult for me to accept that I may need, in some ways, to do less. That is a total contradiction to my usual lifestyle.
As much as I wish to do more for those I love and the One I wish to honor most, He sometimes seems to ask me to do...(gulp)...less. He asks me to be still and know He is God. He asks me to trust Him, even when I don't understand. Actually, He does more much better than I do more. (It's ok to read that last sentence repeatedly. I did...and I wrote it.)
Perhaps we often become so focused on doing more that we lose sight of Who is most important. It's not about my accomplishments, goals, plans or recognition. It is all about His honor, glory and purpose. More of Him...and less of me...is a much better way on this journey Home.♡~thl
"Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen." Ephesians 3: 20>21
