Seeing past ourselves....

Looking past ourselves sometimes seems to be one of the hardest things to do. If we could just look past how "bad" things are going in our lives would be able to see God and where He is at work. Then just maybe we wouldn't be so focused on what we don't have to see what we can be doing. This is so hard!!!! For instance everyone in life no matter where they are at in their journey are longing for something some long for love, others peace, others a new job or home, and others rest, but truly if we stopped longing what does that look like. Kind of like the trite phrase "Let go and let God." Can anyone truly give me a logical and almost systematic way of doing this-I haven't one yet. So please feel free to try and explain it to me, I'm always willing to listen.

So I guess the major question of this post is What are you longing for? Is it really what you need?
Aren't we glad that God is in control and can see threw the forest of our lives.
