I keep coming back to this verse, so simple, so complicated. It goes against everything in my being -- I've lived my life focused on myself, on my comfort and my success and my reputation and my image... society tells me to pursue wealth and pleasure for me, to think about my feelings and my desires.
And yet here is this ancient Scripture, reminding me of what I know is true in the depths of my bones -- that it's not about me, and that the way to fulfillment, to Truth, to grace, goes not through me, but through Christ, through selflessness, through sacrifice.
May I have the strength to pursue this. May we seek Christ, and in finding him, may we find ourselves.
