Rid Me of Myself

From the song, "Lead Me to the Cross" by Hillsong United

Lead me to the cross
Where Your love poured out
Bring me to my knees
Lord I lay me down
Rid me of myself
I belong to You
Lead me, lead me to the cross


For some reason this phrase, "rid me of myself" has been put on my mind and heart. I have used it as a new way to think about how we don't need to seek attention. I know that it seems so simple, yet I know many, including myself, that struggle with it. What is so great about being great? About having attention? Sure, it's nice to be included in things, but why do we want to be the center and focus of attention? 


Because it feels good, and we're human... So we enjoy it.


For now, I'm using this as a new way to look at things daily. I have decided to keep an open mind and not always have the last word, to know that others won't always know or remember that I was the mastermind behind some great idea...and to be okay with that.
