Disappointment.

Lately, I've been dealing with lots of disappointment. I've been disappointed by friends, family, coworkers and most important in myself. I've been focusing and spending time thinking about how I'm so hurt by people's actions or words and how I need to do certain things to be better for SOCIETY. Since I've been praying about all of the disappointment that I've been feeling, God has brought me to John 3:30. This verse says "He must become greater, I must become less." It stuck out to me because if I was spending less time focusing on what's been disappointing me and what's been doing on in my head, I'd realize how truly blessed I am each and every day. I'd realize how much God has blessed me with in these 20 years of my life and I would realize how important it is to spend time with Him, my father. It's crazy how caught up I get in the little things in life. I spend time worrying about small assignments at school and situations that will have no importance in my life in 10 years, but neglect the creator of the earth and the One who gives me breath each and every morning. How could I neglect the One who has taken me from my darkest times and brought me out in to the light, a new and freshly purified person? I know I'm not perfect, and I'll never be perfect, but as long as I'm seeking to advance my God's kingdom and seeking Him the way I should be, I know that I'll start to look like Him, act like Him and eventually, people will see God through me and how I act. That's all I want in life. So, all of these disappointments are no longer going to be important to me. They should never have been important to me, and now I know that because I'm becoming less and allowing God to become more in my life. :)
