Too many believe that if they could somehow get rid of their problems, get more money, sort this thing out over there, fix that relationship up over here, etc. etc. that THEN they would be freed up to begin to activate in the house of God and start doing something to serve the body instead of be a dead weight. The combination of years of wrong teachings, wrong models, and immaturity in the Word of God (aka - THE BIBLE) has doctrinized many right into a form of mental & emotional imprisonment. All the while the Lord is waiting for us to simply take the initiative (James 4:8) and step out of "The Me Realm" and into the glory realm that he purchased for us and gave to us when He died and rose again.
Simply put, when our focus is taken off of ourselves and directed toward the things that the Father is concerned with all of those "Me Problems" fall by the wayside and our lives begin to transform into a flourishing garden of peace and satisfaction in Him alone.
It's like the old revival hymn says, "Turn your eyes upon Jesus. Look full in His wonderful face. And the things of earth will grow strangely dim, in the light of His glory and grace."
Love you all,
Joel DB
