Selfless Love: Shifting Our Focus


There comes a time in the midst of our crying out to God when we need to put ourselves aside and set us in God’s hands. What I mean is that we can get so down on ourselves—how foolish, weak, hurtful, etc. we are—that we lose sight of who God is, in all His faithful, beautiful, and loving-ness. So, after we have exhausted our vocabulary for harsh names to call ourselves (or if one is feeling particularly bold, BEFORE we go this far), we need to set ourselves with all of our brokenness in our Selfless Father’s hands and begin to selflessly Love like He does. This first happens when we shift our focus from ourselves to Him, and continues when we lift up others to Him :D

“praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints” Ephesians 6:18 KJV
