When I am so focused on “me,” I can miss seeing God for who He really is and make Him into someone who is easy to walk away from.  If you have have ever had to decide to fight, to stay in your relationship with God even though you’re feeling not that into Him, you know it is not easy and it often requires a big change in us.  But what if you’re fighting and nothing’s happening. You’re working at the relationship, but you’re not getting anything in return. So what’s the problem? It may be that “ME” is getting in the way, that your focus is on you. And in the process, you have made God very small, boring and predictable—a God you think you know, but One who is actually so much bigger than us.
