My pastor said something this past Sunday that stopped me in my tracks – well, not physically. After all, I was sitting down on a pew during the sermon. It stopped me in my tracks mentally though, and I couldn’t think about anything else.

Now, I am paraphrasing but this is what he basically said: When we listen to our own hearts we derail our God-given purpose.

Woah. Just woah.

I hope you will pause for a moment or two or three and really let that marinate.

Sometimes we need a good wake-up call, a good fussing at, whatever you want to call it to get us mentally back on track. I know I do.

It’s so easy to get caught up on this roller coaster we call life and forget about the big picture.

What is the big picture? Less of me – more of Him. If we could all (and I’m pointing a big ol’ finger at myself) just stick to that script there would be a lot less heartache, a lot less hurt feelings, a lot less jealousy, a lot less mess-ups, a whole lot less of a bunch of other unnecessary things.

Let’s refocus, ladies.

Let’s keep our eyes on the prize.

Let’s win more people for Heaven.

Let’s go for God and nothing else.

Cause nothing else matters.

He must become greater; I must become less.” John 3:30
