It's not about you, it's about Jesus

Sometimes, we tend to take things so personal, that we actually hurt our  self in the process. Sure, if you live long enough, you are going to have ups and downs, good days and bad days, but that is just life, Don't take it personal. We get frustrated when things are not going our way, disappointed when we have not accomplished what we sat out to do, and sadden when we don't have what we think we should have, but all these mindsets, selfish in nature takes us as far away from the truth as we can be. The truth of the matter is, it is not about you, its about Jesus! Take for instance, John the Baptist. In his day he was highly respected, and know throughout the land. People would come from all over to be baptized by him, yet his entire ministry, was not about him, instead it was about preparing the way for Jesus. It was not about him, it was about someone yet to come. The Bible says in Mark 1:7-8, And preached, saying, There cometh one mightier than I after me, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose. I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost. He was speaking of the coming of Jesus. It was not about him. It really does not matter what you are facing right now, the loss of a job, a child gone astray, problems in your marriage, remember this, how you go through it is as important as going through it because in the end result, is for someone else, so in all that you do, give thanks and press through, because it's not about you, it's about Jesus!!!!
