For everything, absolutely everything, above and below, visible and invisible, ...everything got started in Him and finds its purpose in Him. - Colossians 1:16 MSG
This from Rick Warren's The Purpose-Driven Life Journal:
Point to Ponder: It's not about me.
Question to Consider: How can I remind myself today that life is really about living for God, not myself?
The purpose of your life is far greater than your own personal fulfillment, your peace of mind, or even your happiness. It's far greater than your family, your career, or even your wildest dreams and ambitions.
There is an alternative to speculation about the meaning and purpose of life. It's revelation. We can turn to what God has revealed about life in his Word. The easiest way to discover the purpose of an invention is to ask the creator of it. The same is true for discovering your life's purpose: ask God.
God's wisdom...goes deep into the interior of his purposes. It's not the latest message, but more like the oldest--what God determined as the way to bring out his best in us. - 1 Corinthians 2:7 MSG
The journal is the perfect companion to The Purpose Driven® Life! Features include scriptures and quotes by Rick Warren, taken from the bestselling book, plus space to record reflections, prayers, and goals while seeking Gods plans for your life.

I was reminded this morning by reading this journal note that it's not about me! What a profound statement that was to me when I first read that about 5 years ago.
Now, as I read it again, it's still amazing. How selfish we can become!
Today, I will try to remember others before myself. I fall so short, but it is in God's eyes that everything is just as it's supposed to be.
I pray for closeness to God today.
Amen.
