It only takes a moment to move beyond self. And often we don't take advantage of the opportunity. I'm calling it an opportunity because moving beyond me allows Christ to shine forth. Today I spoke with a friend who longs to have the experience of clarity in what God is asking of her. After 30 minutes of dialog I pointed out that clarity exists, she just wasn't calling it clarity.
If I had not moved beyond my own issues and thoughts, I would have missed an opportunity to allow Christ to move through me. I just gotta tell you, it feels so good to be USED by GOD. Yes it does, even when inconvenient. Once God is in the mix, it's all good.
As Ash Wednesday draws closer, contemplate how your practice of your chosen spiritual disciple will allow you to move beyond self. That's what I'll be doing.
